im willing to be optimistic for the simple reason, this guy showed his craziness in a dysfunctional roma and in a team where he broke the transfer record and was hailed as the messiah. This Juve is a completely different story.
I don't think it matters. He is a nutcase plain and simple.

All the confusions comes from the fact that people dont understand the difference between an option and an obligation. I bet there would be a lot less complaints if there was no option at all. But you have taken an introductory finance course, you should know that an option has some value; its never better to not have the option no matter what the strike price is. And if we end up exercising the option in the summer, it would be a stupid summer mover, not a stupid winter to move to get the option in the first place.
People understand very well. But it's all too obvious that we will purchase him in the end. Maybe not, maybe he will go spastic and the club will see what an error they made.

Osvaldo isnt a liability on the pitch like Balotelli is.Your comparison doesnt make much sense.
Punching your teammate in the locker room or at training is much better.

I don't think you do. If you did, you wouldn't be saying something like: "maybe the club will avoid making an error."

Ofcourse its relatively much better. :lol:

Unlike Balotelli where he is diving half the time,making stupid challenges or swearing and giving intimidating looks to refs and players.Complete liability on the pitch and he has cost his team(s) points as well with his stupid antics.

Osvaldo is so much better in that regard.

And training-ground bustups are pretty common and much easier to fix especially in an environment like Juve.Unlike on the pitch where the players and coach are helpless and its costing the team because of one person's antics.

Because I answered it. I don't see how you can think that a player turning on his own teammates is better than diving or making a bad challenge.
So you'd rather have a player who's a complete liability on the pitch and doing nothing but costing his team vital points in the process than a player who gets involved in training-ground bustups but still gives it his all when he is on the pitch ?

Seems rich coming from a Tevez fanboy.He even refused to come on as a sub when the coach asked him to :lol: (Bayern-City game 2011).Thats actually worse.

And again chances of bustups happening in an environment like Juve is less.Bendtner and Anelka were supposed to be these 'problematic boys' as well but their conduct was very good during their short stay.

Are we hating Marotta again? I thought people have seen the light after last summer, even if prior good deals weren't enough (they should've been), but some are still in the darkness apparently.

Pirlo, Pogba and Llorente for free. Yet some have the brutality to question his ability.

I love Beppe.

Even fans of other clubs recognize his greatness, calling him the CR of directors, but we still have infidels around here.
They are excused. They cant know how much money we ve wasted for the Martinezs.
They couldnt know that Marotta is failing for 8 consecutive transfer windows to find a proper LB and thats why we were forced to switch to 3CBs and use a DM as a LWB
They couldnt know how many such handicaps Conte had to face in order to make a winners team. They might be under the wrong impression that Marotta has some merit too.
They dont know how many Piazenzas and Padoins we suffered before we found a Pogba.
They are just not properly informed, mostly because they dont care. If they knew...


But we do and we ought to know better!
We have seen Galata giving us a quarter of our investment on Melo, claim to be poor and then grab under our noise Sneijder and Drogba. (only to use those 3 to disqualify us from the
CL)
We have been struggling for such a prolific finisher ever since Trezequet left us and have been throwing 20mils left and right to Amauris, Matris, Vucinic and Osvaldos (while the best Marotta could pull, was Borriello, Bendtner and Anelka)
crying out that serie A is not a favorable destination anymore, while Lazio gets the Kloses we cant, Fiorentina gets the Rossis we cant, Napoli the Higuains we cant, Milan the Ballos we cant...

Of course we have infidels here, we are not all blind fanatics! Some of us use their eyes, ears and brains and see what happens...

@Cronios, I have just one question for you my man. And it's either a yes or no answer. That's all I'm looking for right now.


At the start of this season, did you think that this squad was better than last year's squad on paper?

No I'd rather have neither.

That thing was more of a misunderstanding and masssively overblown by the media, vs Osvaldo who did bad things how many more times??
