Actually everything suggests that CR is a Molinaro lover
-Molinaro is the only player in our team who is entirely irreplaceable!
-Molinaro had the most caps in the season and worst performances of the decade
-CR said that Molinaro was one of our best players of this season
-CR gave limited chances to everyone else, Tiago, Criscito, Almiron, Nocerino, Grygera, Palladino were all marginalized after their first "not so good" performance, they had just a couple of games to prove their value and thats it.
Molinaro was the only player who totally sucked for 5 consecutive games and his place wasnt threatened...
And to counter your greatest (and valid argument), that CR had no other option and he was forced to play Molinaro:
-A thought to replace Molinaro, never crossed CR's mind, not in the x-mas transfer period, neither now.
He preferred to spend 20 mil to get 5th DM instead of signing a free alternative LB
-Not even noe, after the end of the season and with the CL ahead of us, plenty of time for changes and a new budget, we are not considering to find a Molinaro replacement!
Now he he wants a 5th attacker and sees no problem to our LB position, we are most likely to go on like that and just bring De Ceglie as Molinaro's back up,
because we "trust" Molinaro.
That means that CR is very pleased with Molinaro's performances and he believes that Molinaro is already CL material!!
He believes that Molinaro can be an irreplaceable part of the team that will challenge the championship.
He believes that we must build our team on players like Molinaro!!
There are no excuses anymore for him or our board, if they keep such a player as our main starter, they will demonstrate how much they care for this club and how incompetent they really are!
Whoever supports players like Molinaro, as starters for the new "strong" Juventus we are building, is an enemy of Juventus. Both if he unintentionally hurts our interests out of incompetence or if he is delibeterally refuses to invest a minimal sum, to make us much stronger in that position!
