That's what happens when you are born at the same Era of two legends Maldini and Baresi, I would say it is fair.
As for Peruzzi, he was a good keeper, but not as good as Pagliuca, I think the underapreciated here is Pagliuca.
Tudor is an average Defender, and he is very Overrated, it just the goals he scored with his header that fooled everyone, we should have sold that master of errors to Man.utd back then whatever was the price.

One word for all ya'll.....TREZEGUET.....I love this boy and he is my favorite player on Juve....he stays in the shadows while Del piero steals the limelight....if he stays with juve as long as del piero, i have no doubts in my mind he will break the all time record. He still isn't given enuf respect and should be called a juve idol just as Del Piero is!:toast:
I consider Trezeguet to be the best finisher in the world, and I don't know many players of his calibre who stick with a club for six years. That said, Del Piero is probably my favorite player. As the two play in totally different roles I don't see a reason why appreciating the one should exclude appreciating the other.
I also find Davids unbelievable talent. Acutally I remember reading some column back in Euro 2000, and some famous former international manager (a name I can't remember) said Davids, (Not Figo, Totti, Raul et al) as the second player who would rank in his lists of sheer class players just behind Zizou.
What IMO people don't appreciate is that Edgar is just more than a ball-winner. He had unbelievable set of skills, and he was a real midfield dynamo in the middle of the pitch. It makes the shudder whenever I imgaine the prospect of myself being an opposition's midfield general against David's prime.
However, my only criticism of Davids is that becuase of his controversial character, he may not have played on a consistent basis enough to merit as a Juve legend. He had two dreadful season with us, and it is hard to find any Juve legend with such inconsistency. Nonetheless, yeah I have to agree with you. Davids would be on my all time eleven ahead of Furino, Cuccereddu, or Tardelli, by the sheer prospect that none of them would have had talent or athleticism of Davids.

First season with Lippi's return and the his last season where he couldnt play for contractual reasons. I know they are not his faults because (1) he obviously had a "disagreement" with Lippi and excluded for non-sporting reasons for the first and (2) Moggi orderd Lippi not the play for the second.
However, this is IMO the biggest fault with Davids - Not sporting aspect because he is phenom but his character. I do believe he has somewhat controversial character and he doesnt necessarily see eye to eye with certain people (Guss Hiddink is another one that comes into my mind). Even worse, he will not refrain from challenging the authority.
I guess that is the other side of the coin with Davids: His tempermental character makes him the player he is on the pitch but then again it leads to squimishes with coaches and fellow players. Anyway in his prime Davids was awesome.

Edgar Davids...one of my favourite players of all time...I do not feel he was under-appreciated at all...he had a massive fan following when he was in Turin and was always credited when he gave a good performance...Torricelli I think was also a player that could have done much more for Juve...shame he was sold to Fiorentina
I think David is really appreciated by the fans. Don't know about the members though. But If you read his last week statement, then you'll realize he is happy with the fans and they do know his value somehow. After-all you can't forget and Ignore one of the top 5scorers in Juve history.
I admire David...Though he'll never be our Del Piero, Infact no one can be Del Piero nr2, but again I can assure you that they all admire Trezeguet.
