I TRULY feel sorry for those Juve fans who thought that they might have the final piece of a beautiful puzzle...
I knew this was never going to be a walk in the park.
The guy had been spoiled his whole sporting.life and adapting to a club like Juventus is a huge task.
Many guys has left Athletic but not many have been succesful. Very few names come to mind: Alkorta, Zubizarreta...
Bare in mind those players are "raised" in a quite "familiar" atmosphere and they rarely face internal competition once they get to play with the first team.
It's not easy to adapt to the demands of a club like Juve.
I told you he wasn't ready in Athletic until late october or november. But in Athletic he was playing constantly to be ready in November. Juve cannot afford to wait that long, Juve has no reason to wait that long. Fernando's big problemn is that Juve has no obligation to "wait" for him to be fit, comfortable or whatever... Juve can move ahead, play with whatever player avaiable and bring some Romanian guy by night if needed...
I'm sure that if Conte is not playin him is because he's not ready.

This guy. 
Athletic fans are like weird cultists.

Soem fans are turning weapons to Conte and I think that's not fair. There's a reason behind all this. The guy is good but he will be needing some real adaptation that is diificult to be given due to Juve's competition demands.
