Fair enough but it cannot be denied that Moggi's decision had more than a small part to play in Brighi's downward spiral. I'm not saying it is solely Moggi's fault as it was necessitated by more pressing concerns. Back then, the circumstances conspired such that we absolutely needed an experienced striker due to the long-term loss of Trez during pre-season last year. Ironically, Brighi's brilliant displays in Bologna actually worked against him in that Parma simply insisted on the player as part of the deal. In short, Parma ripped us off (DV cost 26mil Euros) when we had our hands forced. In the business sense, it is better to barter a player than cough up the full amount in cash.
Thereafter, like I said, the player also has to take a long hard look in the mirror at his failed stint in Parma. That said, I've never had the impression that Prandelli believed much in him either so the outcome was obviously tragic.
But all these are irrelevant now. The important question is whether he can make a comeback? We're now talking about a player who has probably lost all confidence, desire, motivation and strength to continue where he left off. I can only lament his misfortune of having to tread a more difficult career-path when it might have been averted. If it were up to me, on hindsight, given DV's output last season, I'd never have made the deal had I known Brighi would pan out like this. Then again, it could be argued that he'd never cut it with Juve with a similar mentality when the going gets tough.

brighi was being hailed as davids' replacement back when it was certain davids' was going to leave for roma.
at parma, he was given limited chances and the coach wanted his bologna form showing from the first time he stepped onto the pitch in a pram shirt. he needed more time which the coach wasnt willing to give him.
but at brescia, a club where he is the main midfielder, he needs to take advantage. miccoli and maresca both did this last season and moggi and lippi have faith in them and they are a part of juves team now.
i just think that once Appiah signed for juve, it might have broken Brighi's spirits for good. maresca and appiah are the future of juves midfield, not forgetting the new midfielder we bring in next season.
i think maybe we should just let Brighi move to a club who needs him. we did this with perrotta and he has played well at chievo.

yes, i agree that brighi doesnt have the tackling abilities of davids but he was the man that was going to replace davids in midfield nonetheless.
and i supopse loaning him to parma meant that he had a better chance of getting game time there so although i agree that moggi killed his confidence and heart by loaning him out, but he also gave him a better opportunity to at least play more often.
didnt pan out in the end.
