I don't remember him having any issues with us when he was here, or I might have forgotten

I don't understand why the resistance to bringing back a 20 year old kid who grew up in our academy and showed some potential when given the chance.
If it's because of last year at Everton, that is ridiculous. 19 years old, new league, whole new culture. Not everyone is a De Ligt, but even he took time to adjust.
This makes sense for us on several levels, from the HG quota to the B list for CL. As a backup.
I think the Kean matter goes way beyond what meets the eye. Thats why i said that only Juventus know why they and Allegri dispatched him, and i mention Allegri because for sure the board asked for technical advice and he gave the green light to sell.
Like some have mentioned, im pretty sure Allegri and the board were not convinced by kean in the sense of work ethic and mentality, and i think thats why they decided to profit- On top of that, Raiola was always moaning about playing time and he was not going to accept kean to be benched more than he wanted.
Im also worried about his mental state. I mean, he idolizes Balotelli, that looks like a minor issue, but in reality is something worrying. I mean, Balotelli is a reject who threw his career by having a very bad discipline record and mentality. If Kean sympathizes with him because of racist matters then i would understand (a lot of people do even myself), but to the point of saying he is his football idol, is weird to say the least. Then theres the issues that we dont know, and which are the most important IMO, and that only Juventus know.
Now, if Juventus is thinking about bringing him back... im pretty sure it is also because of Pirlo´s willingness to bring him back and work with him. Im pretty sure that Pirlo saw the qualities we all saw from him on field, and wants to work with him to see what the kean deal is about. Thats what i think is happening now. if is a loan, then Paratici would not mind and well Pirlo should take care of the rest.
He is older and hopefully wiser. I hope his stay in England showed him that he cant take anything for granted and he needs to value a top tier working enviroment like Juventus, if that was the problem that is.
