Tbh if he's the same quality as Padoin then I'd be happy. Padoin is hated here but so far this season he was more consistent than Isla who cost us 19m if I'm correct. Padoin just 5m. He's good bench player. He's strong, versatile no error prone and never cries that he's benched. What else to expect from a bench player?
Completely agreed...Padoin has been good value at 5m. He is a perfect Conte pick; reliable, always gives 100% determination, no frills but sticks to whatever is asked of him with a high level of competency. I'm unsure as to why so many on here appear to disregard him, especially when we have oneof our starting forwards, Vucinic, who blows hot and cold like the melbourne weather, a Matri with the confidence of a fly in a spiders web and a de ceglie...who rarely even offers a pale imitation of a professional footballer. Padoin has done well. Very useful squad player.

Will De Ceglie leave the club if Peluso arrives?
If DC is smart, he'll never leave Juve. He'll be a bench player at most clubs, might as well be that here.
By the way Conte was talking about covering Asamoah's absence, and taking into account De Ceglie's career at Juve, during which he has never improved, never shown the basic qualities required to play anywhere near a defensive position, now and then offering a decent whipped in cross, but showing awful positional awareness, a lack of quality in the tackle, tendency to get injured...its high time he left, for his own sake as much as the club. He is a liability, and we are better off getting a couple of million for him than keeping him in the squad to erode the confidence of others around him...Knowing there is a player who can not pass the ball in a straight line, and assumes LWB is actually LW, hardly breeds confidence. Regardless of his resemblance to Damien from the Omen, its time he was sent elsewhere.


I am not too worried about Asamoah's absence, for in the league we have a solid lead, and Padoin can play LWB/LB and will be reliable.

Or you can judge for yourself and stop underrating what you think. In the end, Conte is the one who's in the best position to know what fits his team, but that doesn't mean what you might think is not valuable or true for instance.

Otherwise, we could just shut down the forum, stopping all debates in the process, because they would be pointless.
I do judge for myself and I don't underrate what I think. The whole reason people say "I dont like him but if Conte wants him than I trust him" is because they already made the decision that they dont rate the player, but are willing to give Conte the benefit of the doubt. After all, his results speak for themselves.

I'm not saying lets stop discussing, I'm merely pointing out as to why people, including myself, ultimately side with Conte on his squad decisions and selections.

Apparently we'll be looking to sign another defender after this deal has been tied up.But in any case we only want to do a loan + option to buy deal if we want another defender.

He's good but i'd prefer someone younger.Someone for the future..This Doria guy would've been a good signing.

we are interested in neto but problem is we only want to do a loan + option to buy deal..surely siena is not going to accept that proposal.

Siena want 8 million and Napoli seem willing to pay that. The only club I see doing a loan with option is Udinese for Danilo but I bet we'd end up paying 10 million at the end of it.

Getting Peluso early means Marotta has plenty of time to get this CB

Wouldn't be a bad signing.

Tell you what Marotta has built some team. We have a competent replacement in every area of the pitch.

This Summer we only need two players and that's two top class attackers.
