Two bold parts, I understand you, and its good you arent judging without seeing (that usually isnt an obstacle to most here...). But why do we need to see him in Juve shirt to think he is not good enough? He is just an average player, pure and simple, I seen him since he was a fringe player in Azzurrini level (barely at even that). He is not garbage because he plays in Serie in Ok enough anonymous level, but is that what amounts to Juve player now?
For example, to illustrate, he is a 29 year old who barely been close to one single call up in his entire career. Call ups that are handed out as candy for even the briefest show of ok form, especially in August-Sep period of NT games (every prominent player for provincial sides gets to add it to their CVs in that period).
No need to hate him or hold against him (but the provincial clown that is our GM, Conte appointed says enough...), but I certainly do not need to see him to know he will do nothing but add to the absolute mediocrity of our team. To the degree its not even an excuse to highlight cutting cost, or "he is just a squad player". FFS, thats the skill level of our most our players. Squad players.
