So, should we bring this guy back anytime soon or should we just count on Padoin?
He is nowhere near ready to come back to Juve yet, especially when you take into account the competition we have in midfield.
maybe you are joking though, Lapa??? or perhaps, simply even more enthusiastic about the best of our youngsters than me?
Padoin is presently far more useful, purely in terms of been able to plug gaps, dependably and competently, especially in positions where tackling and covering and marking are important.
Buoy has done well. He has a blossoming passing ability, is growing in physical stature. Similar to Gabriel Appelt in many ways, although less defensive minded. The brazilian appears more comfortable in the challenge, playing deeper...still, both of these kids look to have some real quality about them in terms of their distribution and eye for a killer pass. Two vice-pirlos in the making.
More should be made of the fact that he is a regular starting part of a major promotion push, in his first season in italian senior football, than his stats.
