    More to the point, what one's person's view of how all the forums should be may differ from everyone else's. It's neither right or wrong -- it just is.

    This wouldn't be the first case where someone wanted the forums to be the end-all data store of all information related to Juventus, completely ignoring for the moment that there are other sections of the site more deserving of that kind of role than a free-form, open forums section... e.g.:

    For players:
    http://www.juventuz.com/club/squad/
    for example, Gigi Buffon:
    http://www.juventuz.com/club/player/buffon/

    past players:
    http://www.juventuz.com/club/pastplayers/

    player stats:
    http://www.juventuz.com/playerstats/

    team stats:
    http://www.juventuz.com/clubstats/

    Note that a number of these haven't been updated since last season. But the point is this: if you want something to be a source of more "objective" info that isn't the Wikipedia, or if you just want to build a "shrine" for worshipping a player for that matter, shoehorning everything into these forums so that they are the end-all, be-all information source ... the source for all information about a topic ... is generally going to be a wasted effort. Forum software isn't set up for that -- it's like trying to use an airplane on the freeway as a poor substitute for a car.

    However, if you or anybody else want to contribute to updates to those sections of the site that might be more appropriate for photos, biographies, personal stats, etc. ... by all means, volunteer your time and I am sure there's a way to help get it up through the site owner.
    I got your point. But still there is a point which has to be clarified, I didn't mean to turn for example the player thread into an officiial website dedicated to the player, I have another view just what I did say in the opening post. However, I agree with you that the other section to such a data is enough.

    Anyways, I'm willinig to share in the update of the biographies, player stats, etc..in those sections. :cool:

    bes, bes, bes, what would this place be without you?
    ahmedios the whole point of the player threads is for discussion and chat, you can analyse players performances and discuss their merits, as well as their flaws. well except in the del piero thread, rab is like a rabid pitbull ready for the kill if anyone criticises alex.

    anyway there are, as swag pointed out, areas where you can view players stats. the forums are more about discussion. hope this helps, besides no-one ever really looks at the first page in a thread unless they are hitting the "go to fist unread post" button
    Okay, thanks Bozi. :pint:

    When will the player profiles on the main page be updated, or are you waiting for Cannavaro, Zambrotta, and Mutu to come back along with the others, just wondering..

    There's still time.

    Seriously, it was Zlatan's project, and it's in limbo.
