Jorge Andrade (24 Viewers)
- Thread starter Salvatore
- Start date
u're right but that is because it is a completely new defense...if they get time to gel together i think they could do well for us...perhaps they will be enough for this season only time will tell...and 
for Salihamidzic as starting RB i think he will prove to be a great signing!

As for Andrade he has the potential of being a good defender,not a world class one but he could the job,he just needs to calm down & focus on the game & try to talk a lot with Criscito & Buffon!!
I am no Criscito expert, so I hold my judgement here.
But purely from defensive vantage point, Andrade was far more solid than Criscito last match. Criscito missed his marking assignment couple of times, and one of them was Rossini's free header, which he should have scored. Just to put matters straight, I like the kid. I think he is a fantastic player for his age, rarely got beaten off the dribble, but like every kid, he got much to learn, which to be fair, will be fun part of watching him this year.

One is an experienced and well-known defender in his own field and country while
One is a young lad that has a lot of potential to become the best
And the good thing is, they can only get better and better
What I am sayin is Andrade even at his full potential will never be(cannavaro,nesta,terry etc..) but he is a very good defender & he can do the JOB this season!
One more thing when Andrade was at his best with Deportivo in (03 & 04),he had Nour el Dine El Naybet playin beside him & he was learning from the experienced Moroccon every game & in a lot of matches EL Naybet covered his mistakes,BUT now with Juve he is supposed to be the experienced player,the leader of the defence & he has to cover for Criscito's mistakes so it will be much harder for him!
