I think that you actually won the debate. The pictures confirmed it.
Congrats :D
Nope, he just didn't have an answer for my question so he had to complain about the pics :D

The last pic Rab is on the game we had against Inter at San Siro. Ale hit the post with a sick shot in that game. We conceded in the last minutes.

Why is that? I got the impression that you too thought how Diego is making the team stronger.
Or is this about something else?
Why is what?

I never understood the whole fuss about Diego, I never saw him make the team stronger, I never saw him take things on his responsibility, I never saw him finish matches, I never saw him what many are making him to be. He is a good player, he can do the team well but he is far far far from being a key player that makes a difference. If the team is not strong, Diego would not make an addition, we all saw how he was forced to track back and once he does that he disappeared. We all saw how easily he was marked and played out of the game, we all saw his free kicks.

Sab said it millions of times last season, Diego is a player that has to have the whole team working for him in order to produce and she was right. So tell me, why create a whole team for one player and when this player is injured or suspended the team would stop functioning? Why create such a team and when it's time to sell the player you have to start all over again?

As a matter of fact, I agree with most of the things you said. Not only Sab, I too said the same things and saw flaws in Diego that many others refused to see.

But this particular team we had in August (with all players in right places, without injuries) looked ok to me and looked better with Diego as a SS, or at least it looked better with Diego instead of Quagliarella. Imo, it looked better with Diego instead of this current Del Piero too.
So it's not about if Diego was capable of bringing trophies to Juve (I personally never saw that quality in him) but if the team was stronger with or without him.

I think that we stood better chances for a top 4 spot with him than without him. I thought you shared the same opinion, that's why I asked you why do you show joy that Diego was sold.

IMO, the only mistake in the sale of Diego is not buying a replacement.

What a hatred towards Alex all o a sudden.. I might not be very familiar in posting here.. but reading thro these pages, I wanted to write what i feel.. sorry for offending anyone if i had.
One thing is certain.. if he played a part in rainieri, ciro leave it would have been with a reason.. He definitely knows this team better than any of you here.. You just cant play for 15 years in a club without loving it in and out.. He has been part of juve that did wonders, he was part of juve that almost burned to the ground.. If he does something it has to be for the betterment of the club..
And like Wahdan said.. Diego leaving was not wrong.. not finding a replacement of batter quality was the mistake..

and selling him for cheap. It was hard though to find a replacement in such short period and that's when Marotta completely lost it by overreacting and trying to get the likes of Di Natale and etc. Although Diego was our most skilled player but he lacks precision and his style is so indirect almost like running in a circle. Back in the Hey days Alex was 1000x the player Diego is now and now although Del piero is not as good as the old days he is still more decisive than Diego and has the killer instinct that you don't teach, you are born with such talent. Saying all that, I still believe it's time for coaches to give Del piero a bench role and invest heavily on world class SS like Aguero or Suarez who can be played at both forward positions
