Oh yeah, he is rubbish

True. And if he isn't rubbish, he is most certainly amazing and one of the best players in the world.

 

[Gabriel]

I still don't know why Marotta didn't go for Gilardino instead, he's cack, italian, a world champ and not very promising.

Borrielo though is just cack.

 

[Powis]

Will he join our squad in Dubai?

 

[Itztli]

Most likely Powis.

Play Matri and Borriello up front and you'll have yourself the prettiest duo.

If we manage to get rid of at least two of Amauri, Iaquinta and Toni (preferably the former two), then this transfer will be decent. He isn't rubbish or constantly injured which is a plus.

If only more people made as much sense as you Salv.

Media reporting Juve won't make it official until we terminate Iaquinta and Toni's contract and Amauri finds himself a new club.

Look at that hair. Looks like he is about to invade Poland.

One thing is for sure, there will be more hot girls in the stadium

I think the thought behind this move is that Borriello fits our system in a way that for example Gilardino does not. Borriello is strong as an ox. We lack a little bit of physique up front. I think Borriello has been brought in to outwrestle defenders, hold the ball up etc. A striker like him can prove very useful against smaller sides. Remember, we attack with our entire team. We don't play a dull 4-4-2 where we just rely on our strikers to score. Every player we field can actually end up scoring. Hopefully, Borriello will score a few as well, but I actually think that his main job will be to be that really strong guy up front that will contribute to our attacking flow.

 

[Juve Fanatico]

If that's the case then we would have seen more of Iaquinta and especially Toni.

 

[Gabriel]

Yeah, then just use Toni.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

If that's the case then we would have seen more of Iaquinta and especially Toni.

Not really Iaq is always hurt and has never gotten back to form and Toni hasnt been in form for years. Borriello can still go

 

[Jem83]

Iaquinta sucks, seriously.

I'm not saying Borriello is a world class striker or anything, but he's definitely an upgrade from Iaquinta.

I like Toni, but he's getting very old.

 

[Fake Melo]

Yeah, then just use Toni.

Age difference and Toni doesn't work half as much as Borriello.

Besides, this deal wouldn't go through without Conte's approval.

 

[Suns]

Am I the only one who still believes Gilardino will be a Juve player? Maybe when he fails for Genoa or when he's 33. I don't know. But after the Toni and Borriello signings. I still believe in it, its Marotta's trademark.

 

[Gabriel]

Couldn't Matri do that job though? Isn't he a typical front man?

Where the hell is Borrielo supposed to play anyway? He's not really good at anything.

 

[Suns]

Age difference and Toni doesn't work half as much as Borriello.

Besides, this deal wouldn't go through without Conte's approval.

You do know Conte has nothing to say about these things? This is Italy, not England. In Italy the culture around these things are different. He just tells Marotta how he wants to play and what types of players he wants and Marotta makes the decisions. He's not a manager like Ferguson, Marotta is the sporting director and he's the one responsible for the signings because in the end he'll be the one getting blame if they fail.

 

[Hust]

0.5m for the loan and 7.5m € for the option to buy.

If this means IQ, Amauir, Toni & Grosso are out then

 

[Juve Fanatico]

Yeah, then just use Toni.

Not really Iaq is always hurt and has never gotten back to form and Toni hasnt been in form for years. Borriello can still go

Iaq has been available for Conte for a while now, and Toni can provide that role easily. Also, Borriello hasn't been on great form either.

I'm not saying those two are better than Borriello right now, just that I don't think he was brought to play that role. Holding the ball, wrestiling off defenders..etc

Iaquinta sucks, seriously.

I'm not saying Borriello is a world class striker or anything, but he's definitely an upgrade from Iaquinta.

I like Toni, but he's getting very old.

See above.

And I agree with you on the upgrade part.

Yes, we know it's a bit different, but you just contradicted yourself. You're saying Conte has nothing to say about these things, yet you acknowledge the fact that Conte gives Marotta a list of players he wants.

Marotta is the one making the final decisions, this is true. But Borriello has been pointed out by Conte, no doubt about it.
