Great to see him on the score sheet -- gotta get that confidence firing! Hopefully this will feel like a new signing next year. Could really use a boost at LW.

His agent is retarded. He hasn't played this season because he's been out injured until a few weeks ago and now has been allowed to go out on loan at first request to recover match fitness and form awaiting next season. I'd say Pjaca has been treated exceptionally well by Juventus and his agent should keep quiet and show a little gratitude and respect.

Well the agent did qualify it by saying "if he's physically OK". And it does make sense. If he's benched next year that makes it basically 3 years straight of no playing time.

He also said at the end that it's up to Marko to show what he can do now.

As an agent you want to be on the side of the player at all times I'd assume so it's pretty standard to say things like this.

but lets say, he is coming back from a long lay off. Yeah we all know he is ok to play, but no one comes firing on all cylinders after that long layoff. I think is understandable for pjaca to start little by little and by getting playingtime for the primavera i think it has helped him.

It was not going to be good for him if he came right away to be benched with the main team.

in his 2 seasons here though he's been injured for almost one and loaned out for another half a season, so it'd be pretty dumb on his part to say that. :D I think a lot depends on what happens with Dybala-Higuain-Mandzo trio in the summer, if they all stay Pjaca surely is a bench player next season, but somehow I doubt that they will all stay.

He got injured like in March last year ?

Allegri used him like a primavera player until then so I can understand the agent's concerns

Juve has treated Pjaca perfectly. The agent is completely off base.

He got injured in october and lost 2 months. Before that he came on on almost every game. Checking back the stats, he came on 7 out of 9 games when he was available.

Then he came back, again came on in pretty much every game, started in a couple. Literally played every CL game he was available for. Then injured himself again.

What did he expect? that a half fit youngster would come in and play every minute in a top team?

Just another shit-stirring agent. They are a cancer on football.

Prior to Pjaca’s injury in March, he had 4 starts out of 30 games. That was simply not enough. We desperately needed any source of creativity other than Dybala in the first half of 2016/17 but Pjaca was just rotting on the bench.
