The way Pirlo is playing in MLS looks like he wouldnt mind either
Well you cant blame him for not taking the MLS seriously. He has practically retired. Its a different mindset to play here.
Pirlo is not an option anymore. All this shows is two things:
1) how mistaken people were to think that Pirlo's role last season was something that just about any decent player could do to the same effect especially when it took the best marchisio form of his career to do a slightly better job.
2) How marotta messed up, prioritizing a third poacher like zaza and a bench option like sandro and ball winners like Lemina over a vice-marchisio purchase.
I've been saying it for months, Marchisio gets injured or has poor form and we get fucked. Dybala gets injured or has poor form and we get fucked. Both players' roles have no substitute in the team.
