With your mentality, Juve will really become the next Milan. You can't pay a guy 9 M a year because he's stuck with the team in serie B or something. The guy is no angel, if he loves juve so much why doesn't he get a pay-cut or something. The club isn't exactly sitting on gold.

It's amazing how you're okay with leaving aging subs who cost us 9 M a year for setimental reasons. Only one player will ever get that kind of treatment, and that's Del piero. He's a club symbol and even he was close to leaving at one point.
That's right, and I was in favor of keeping Del Piero all through his crisis too. That turned out really bad, didn't it? I was in favor of letting Nedved retire here despite not playing near his previous standard. Again, crazy policy. And I'll be in favor of keeping Buffon probably until the end too, depending on how well he's playing.

And this has nothing to do with being Milan. Milan are not struggling purely because they let their players retire at the club, Pippo is not the impediment here. They're struggling because they've signed tons of old players like Emerson and Ronaldinho. How dumb was that?

But no, fuck buying a talented young prospect, let's just let Trez rot in the bench for two more seasons.
It's purely your opinion that he deserves to sit on the bench. I told you already noone has benched him yet.

And look, if it's Trezeguet and 15M for Rossi, that's a ridiculous price to pay because David still has some seasons left in him. In this deal, that means other clubs don't really value Trezeguet to be much more than around 5M, so what's the point?

Lets just keep him and spend money on the areas we need to improve first, like the defense. Then perhaps those who have a hard on for Rossi can get him next year while we secure a deal for the douche excuse me player in the mean time.

Fine, it's an okay theory. I don't think it's really true, because some people have always been on his case without any mention of those events. But like him or not I think some of these statements of him being inferior to Amauri or Iaq are ludicrous considering what he's done here.

And I didn't mean you, you are "proven" to use a Trez analogy.

Is he inferior as far as goal production? no. I'm not disputing that. The numbers don't lie.

But if there is a fundemental shift in how this team plays, let's say a more ball possesion type of game a la Barcelona, where will he fit in?

Amauri needs to play a couple of more seasons before he can really prove his worth.

are you insane???

amauri is 29, he's far from need of development. a few more seasons would make him 31 by your logic. that would put him in the same place as david is right now! amauri has had his injury bugs as well and thus we would be having this same convo 2 years from now about amauri!

THANK YOU.

It's about fucking numbers. If it were, let's call Paolo Maldini and convince him out of retirement. Listen to yourselves, your being ridiculous. Amauri needs to play a couple of more seasonsbefore he can really prove his worth.



That's just the problem Martin. You seem to like twisting words and phrases to suit yourself. I never said he was an inferior player considering Trez's remarkable achievements with Juve in the past, I'm talking about the present and the future. In which cases, yes, IQ and Amauri are probably going to offer more to the team than Trez.
He will then be too old to play for Juve.

If there is a fundamental shift. If it turns out his previous injuries won't let him make a full comeback. If Amauri and Iaq play as well next season as they did in parts of this season. If they make the difference in tough CL knockout games.

I see a lot of ifs here.

Not to mention if Rossi turns out to be the real deal and not another Miccoli who I thought was the real deal.

Maher.


I'll send you my address via PM.
I said Barca fan, as in strictly a Barca fan. Not a fan of half of the clubs in Europe.
No, it is not debatable whatsoever.

When has Amauri shown he has the instinct and calibre of finishing to claim he's better than Trezeguet in that respect? Meaning, show me where he comes close to scoring as many goals as David in one of their top seasons. Then, once you're done that, prove to me that if both players were healthy, Amauri would be the better finisher.
It's not a dick measuring contest. I've seen them both play, and I acknowledge that Trez was an excellent finisher, perhaps one of the best. I've also seen Amauri play, and he too is an excellent finisher and also has a better overall game to him, also I don't see any reason why we should consider Trez to have better finishing skills. Yes, he has a better history than Amaui but that's only because played for a team like Juve, Amauri was not as fortunate.

He had to waste his talent in serie B and with teams like Chievo. It's not his fault but he does have tremendous finishing ability.

Ofcourse, I can't prove anything, this is just my opinion, just like you can't prove anything to me. I haven't forgotten what Trez has done for us, I love him for that but I don't think he'll get anymore playing time next season and that's why I think we should just let him go considering that he only does have a couple of seasons left in him if he's lucky.

But don't you think that it is time to start building, not just for the now, but for the future, Andy??

Even if it isn't Rossi, eventually there will be a dire need for a second striker on this team in the next couple of years, to say the least.

Then what??

My reasoning is not because I am disrespecting Trez in any way. Out of all the strikers that are on this team, selling Trezeguet to help secure the present and future of this team seems to be the most viable option. There is no way that they are going to sell Amauri after just one season, unless someone comes along and offers a ridiculous amount of money, and Iaquinta is the perfect "soldier" for this team. He knows his role, and he flourishes in it.

I'm not for selling Trez because I WANT HIM TO GO, I just see it as the move that makes the most sense

Then there are a lot of "ifs" on both sides of this argument then, don't you think??

FYI I am way for this Trez-Rossi deal. I just dont agree with selling Trezegol short (I mean come on, Le Rois finishing is whole another level) when he will go in our history books as one of the best scorers we ever had.

Nedved never got in the way of signing a great talent. That's why we were all okay with keeping him.

are you insane???

That wasn't my point. I meant 2 more years in a Juve shirt where he can actually produce some numbers instead of just shoving his Chievo and Palermo days up my face, maybe you should wait and see what he can do with a good team.

Of course, but the point is that there is no particular proof that says Trez won't make a comeback. And if he does (there's if again) he's the best striker we have (no if).

It's my view that you model your strategy after the players you have, so if you have a goalscorer like Trez you're extremely wasteful (to say it nicely) if you can't exploit that. What's more, I can't comprehend that people would be blessed with one of the best strikers in the club's history and still complain that he doesn't do this, he doesn't do that.
