The point is, you're making comparisons between the two. Did we pay over the odds for Krasic? Has he consistently not delivered or shown signs of improvement? The reason i added Marchisio is because he went through so many seasons doing the bare minimum yet you haven't called for him to be shipped off but nice try.
Where did you get the notion that i want Vidal sold? Sarcasm, heard of it? The reason i said that was because you're so hell bent on selling one of our better players because of his poor form. Lets ignore the fact that he can do the job, that players go through a slump, that he can improve, that we don't need to sell him, buy another winger, wait another six months for the player to adapt to Serie A.
Lets just continue this cycle because clearly its working wonders.
I'm comparing the two because they are in the same damn boat, I am not comparing them as players goofball. We may not have paid over the odds for Krasic but that certainly doesn't mean we can sell him for not returning the gesture for what we did pay for him. How you brought Marchisio into this argument I will never understand or what the reason for it was. Nice try on making a point that is easily refutable. I am sure you "haven't read" my posts where I have said on numerous occasions I'd sell Marchisio if a good offer came. Again, nice try.
I never got a notion about you wanting to sell Vidal. Re-read my post where i ask if you are claiming he is medicore and try and highlight the part where you think I said that you claim you want to sell Vidal. Krasic was one of our better performers almost a year ago. He hasn't been the last half of last season and certainly far from it this season.
Krasic is too one dimensional and we could easily find a winger that offers us more for around the same price we bought him for. Kick and chase is all he knows. Horrible first touch, average crossing when on form, the list of his average attributes can go on. If we play teams that are not intelligent we can utilize him, otherwise he does not have the footballing intelligence to outwit or out smart another team. He just doesn't. Players like Hazard/Shaqiri/Robben, these kinds of players have pace just like Krasic but offer a HELL OF A LOT more than he ever will.
This club can not afford to wait out some of these slumps when we have important objectives to reach.
how long are we to wait for him to get back in form? its not his form is the problem..its his apparent football philosophy...we need a more effective right winger and at the moment he is not it..we have to create, we have to score..we have to get 3 points every game..krasic's awful performances make those things less of a reality...i like the guy, but i love juve...
Hopeully Byrone reads this post.
So the answer is to sell him, probably at a cut price figure, buy another winger at a higher price, wait for that player to adapt & still have to spend more money for another winger in for depth?
We have far more pressing issues like getting rid of Grosso, Amauri & Iaquinta. Priorities good grief, priorities!
We have priorities, exactly right. Priorities like reaching the CL and improving our team. Krasic's recent form is taking our entire right side backwards. It's sad when pepe has to move from the LM to the RM just to take his ass off the field. I am tired of wasting subs to accomdate shitty performances.
So unless he improves, then yes, the answer is to sell him and invest in a more versatile winger that offers more than a 40 yard dash to the byline. Krasic doesn't have the ball skills to to dribble around defenders, he is only effective if he is able to get into space to out run them. Even then half the battle is that, the other half is actually putting in a good cross.
he is still highly rated amongst the premiership sides, so i don't think we'll lose him at a loss tbh
Another good point. Unless Krasic ups his performances before January, he needs to go while an interest is still there for him.
Our club needs to be more intelligent in who they buy rather than "waiting" out these pathetic slumps. I am more angry at the club than I am at Krasic.
