Gaetano D'Agostino (16 Viewers)

[Osman]

You lost me on that one - where do you place Dago in a 3 man midfield?

Sorry, I mean that Giovinco doesnt compete with Zanetti, Agostino is a regista, more of a pure one then Zanetti, who is a mix with DM and regista. But what I meant to say is that saying Gaetano competes with Gio for a spot, is like saying Zanetti competes with Gio for a spot, which is just plain clueless.

Well said, Ahmed. Marchisio needs to play.

I was watching Marchi in the U21 championships to see how he would perform in a 3 man MF...from all accounts it looks like Juve will play a similar style, except Diego as the man behind the strikers...glad to say that he looked very good...calm in possession and protected the DF very well...so something like this:

Marchisio - D'Agostino - Sissoko

Diego


or D'Agostino could go out on the left a bit with Momo in the middle

 

[Max]

I dig, that's what I'd like to see too.

 

[sacrer]

who's gonna stay in front of the back 4? Sissoko? hell no...I'd rather see Marchisio there instead of Momo

Well Marchisio is a great player, but who is better in front of the back 4, I think Sissoko is without a doubt better. Marchisio is by far better at turning the ball around but not at helping the defence.

And if I didn't put Marchisio in there, doesnt mean he's not going to play and doesnt mean that i think we should sell him. This season showed us that we need a lot more deapth in the squad. So having Marchisio, Zanetti would be very important! and they will play instead of Sissoko or Dagostino a big part of the season.
I think we are building the team pretty well, and I think next season we will challenge inter for the title

Sissoko has a tendency to roam about and go forward more frequently than he should for someone who's a destroyer.

there's your answer mate...Momo is an absolute beast in the park, there's no doubt...but he is not the most tactically disciplined guy either...I would be very nervous to see him as the only hard tackling DMF on the pitch

 

[Lo-Pan]

A midfield of Momo and Marchisio anchored in front of the defence, with D'Agostino in between them roaming forward and dictating play, and Diego in front of them behind any two of our forwards...looks on paper, and in my mind, beautiful.

Momo D'Agostino Marchisio
Diego

Lets add in Grosso at left back and Chiellini and Canna in the middle...then all we need is a decent right back, capable of both defending AND marauding up the right flank, and we are much improved over the team of last season.

I am sure that Diego is going to play whenever fit and eligible. My only reservations are for Giovinco. Surely after his impressive showing in the EUROs Ciro is going to give him more of a shot in attack this season, hopefully sharing a spot with Del Piero...

but this thread isnt about la formica atomica, its about Gaetano...and so I will finish by asking:>

If co ownership deals need to be finalised by the end of this coming friday, and the D'agostino deal is set to include co-ownership deals, can we assume that everything will be sorted by the end of this week?

The idea of offering half of Marchisio or/and Giovinco, even with them remaining at our club, is stupid. And if we all see it as stupid, I am sure Ciro will feel the same. A top club does not sell any of the rights to two of its brighest talents...

That's up to the coach. The problem isn't from the player, it's how to use him.

 

[Enoran]

Sissoko has a tendency to roam about and go forward more frequently than he should for someone who's a destroyer.

Yes ... Davids used to do that too and he did not play in front of the Back 4. Deschamps did.

Being a lesser passer than both Marchisio and D'Ago imo, it will be better for him and the team not play him as the DM in the Diamond midfield-4. Mis-passing in this area of the field can be lethal.

Instead, allowing some room for him to roam in midfield can actually bring out the best in Sissoko. Remember the goal he scored against Palermo where he galloped down the middle.

yea man..that was a great goal that not much DM can score. now the major trouble is....how can we fit both sissoko and marchisio on a team with agostino. and how will ciro fit diego and giovinco on a team???

 

[Alessandro]

sissoko+marchisio+d'ago is like pirlo+ambrosini+gattuso
so it's not a problem

and how will ciro fit diego and giovinco on a team???

giovinco will be 1st sub for both diego and DP. 3 players for 2 positions - it's good for all.

D'Ago tells Juve to hurry ​

Wednesday 24 June, 2009
Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino has told Juventus to hurry up if they want to sign him as other teams want him, too.

In what has been the most protracted transfer story of the summer, Udinese and Juventus appear no closer to agreeing a fee for the player.

The 27-year-old has often spoken of his desire to move to Turin, but the waiting game appears to be getting to him.

He is extremely grateful to Udinese for everything they have done for him.

“Hopefully it's just a part of the game. President Pozzo has already said so. We have a relationship that goes beyond football,” D'Agostino told Il Corriere dello Sport.

“He believed in me and lifted the career of a footballer who was going through a difficult moment.

“We managed it. I arrived. I understood the moment. I almost halved my contract to go to Udinese and when in October they asked me to extend it I made myself available and within 30 seconds I signed it to their conditions.

“Look at how many people Pasquale Marino has launched. No one knew who Kwadwo Asamoah and Gokhan Inler were when they made it into the first team.”

Having said that, D'Agostino would still like to move to Juventus.

He feels the Bianconeri are the next step in his career.

“Recently I have spoken a lot about Juventus. I wouldn't like to do it anymore because by now I have to say that I have exposed myself as much as I can.

“I said that as a boy I was a Juventus fan. I said that it is a great chance. I said that I am very proud.

“The rest is now up to them. I only know that I will go to a great team. Juventus are it but I have read about others,” he concluded.

I hope Friday is the last episode of this deal.

I hope Friday is the last episode of this deal.

Does this mean the last episode of Marchisio and Seba?

 

[Toro_Merda]

Udine will bend over! If not, they can go fu*k them selves!

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

I cannot imagine our management would be dumb enough to give up both Marchisio & Giovinco for D'Agostino.

It would likely go down as one of the dumbest moves in football history. lol

if we lose only one of our promising players for dago will be a dump move too. giving them marchisio, dc or gio we will be crazy. ok the d ago is good, has played very good football for the previous year but he is not iniesta...

It won't happen anyway... since the deal has taken so long in the first place. Surely if we even considered giving either gio or marchisio away Udinese would've accepted an offer by now. I reckon they're now tryin to play hard ball to get as much money as they can. Guess we'll know more by friday.

 

[Orgut]

I still having trouble to understand how our mid is going to be as Sissoko would be 1st choice and so will Diego
now we have 4 other players: Camo Marchisio and Sissoko and lets say we sign D`Agostino
Sissoko would play as he is the best defensive player we have got
I guess we aren`t going to spend high on a sub so that means D`Ago starts which leave Camo and Marchisio fighting for a spot
Camo is a creative player who can help dictating play while Marchisio is better defensively and has a better movement
If we were a season ago I would say Marchisio is going to be a top sub and could rotate with him a lot
but after the last season I`m not sure he is going to be a sub

 

[Alessandro]

Camo will be sub. It's clear.
