as if outscoring amauri & vinny was anything of a feat

serie a:
trez had 8 games and 1 goal in 2008/2009
trez had 19 games and 7 goals and 1 assists in 2009/2010

how is this anything you would actually wish for when thinking about strikers?

and very rarely where those goals after a cross.. but of course you would rather play with 10 men most of the time (because trez defensive work is equal to 0)
You don't reason like a rational person. Were we not struggling in both seasons? Did we not have issues with the players & coaches, along with shady tactics?

where there other players that did score more ? yes !
where those players less injured ? yes
did those players give more to the team while on the pitch? yes

so what's here to argue... the one season trez played hardly, so of what good is he, when he is not even good enough to be fielded in a struggling team (meaning there was no striker in top form preventing him from earning a starting spot if he wasnt injured)

the other season is a pretty mediocre 7 goals in the league ... nothing that warrants the constant "but if we still had trez" talk

Trezeguet started 2 games in 08/09 and the majority of the others were 10 minute sub performances because Ranieri was a bit of a bitch after the Chelsea game.
and thats of course ranieris fault ... he did deliberately weaken the team he fields, because he does not want to win, while it is obvious that trezeguet was in top shape and would have scored more often than the guys we fielded.

Do you understand the difference between not being good enough to start & deliberately being benched because a coach has preferred players & is set in his ways in terms of tactics? You do realize some coaches even bench the best players available, even don't select them for call up to prove a point & establish their authority?

Even the great Lippi did it with Cassano & Balotelli for the 2010 WC squad. Going by your logic, they really are shit, i mean they weren't good enough for a call up or WC selection.

Yes, players and coaches never fall out.
so ranieri did not only ruin giovincos carreer, but also trezeguets'

funny how the love for some players make fans totally deny any fault of their darlings and always blame others ...

sound similar to the comments of the whinehouse parents "she died because she was such a good girl and did totally stop all drugs"

of course players can fall out with a coach, but if trez would have been even remotely as valuable for the team as you make him out to be, the pressure on ranieri to play him would have been too great to withstand, but oh no! i tripped on another of the forums fables that ranieri was just a yes-saying hand-puppet! how does that fit into the picture ?

I don't really care for the rest of the post because it seems like you're not over Ranieri, and you're still ultra defensive when someone talks about him.

Trezeguet had very few minutes in the league apart from those two starts, and when he was substituted on it was mostly for 10-15 minutes at the end of the game. I can accept that he had injury problems, but was never given a decent run of games to regain his form from the previous season, and as most footballers do, will struggle if he's given the final minutes of a match to prove his worth after an extended time out.

it does not have to do with ranieri at all ... it's you guys that mentioned him.

if you say that trezeguet did never get a proper run of games to get into form, than i would argue, that you just can not afford to give a player that does pretty much nothing for the team a run of games just for the sake of it (or for the sake of him getting into form). we are juventus and are obliged to win. even more so, if you have not a team that is strong and good enough to compensate for that.

what are we arguing about here ? all i am saying is, that the talk about trezeguet is uncalled for, because he is so old now and already was so old in the last years with us that his impact was/would be very small and not better than that of toni for instance.

and how are you only able to blame all other parties but never the player himself ? when you say "ranieri thought of other tactics" do you think ranieri told david "listen, u cant play in my system as striker, so fuck off" ? of course not. the coach tells the players how to play and if the coach says "i demand you to run there, do this" and you simply dont do it, than it is warranted to bench him, because when everybody does what he likes you get beaten by germany, even if you are frikkin brazil ;)

To be fair, he does look a bit on the chunky side for a footballer, sorta like "Cassano Lite" without all the extra calories. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see him here as he's the best option for LW that we are linked with.

As for all the BS Virtu was spewing about Trez, it's common knowledge that Virtu and Ranieri are buttsecks buddies, so he tends to get touchy when ppl attack his beloved Ranieri.

Yeah, that's not overweight at all. He's got a typical "Mayan/Aztec" body, if you may.

Feel free to ridicule my post.
