In the near future, where DP is going to be a subber one step before retiring and Treze will be at France, we will need someone to help Amauri finishing those goals he cant finish today.
Amauri is a great player and he can make an offensive action by his own,
lets not underestimate his creative skills! These are what make him so valuable.
Not his finishing, his age shows that he is going to be our number one choice in the near future. I would like someone who can complete him.
Cassano is not that person!!
I m not satisfied with his partnership with Iaq, because they tend to make so many more chances, but waste most of them too.
They are not reliable prolific goal scorers.
This twin is very very creative and if we add Diego too,
we really wont need any more creative input upfront.
People need to realize we are not playing 4-4-2 anymore!
We dont have creativity issues anymore, we start having finishing issues though!
And Cassano cant help us with them! This is where we need help, if Cassano creates the chances that Amauri and Iaquinta do now,
it just means less chances created by them, that wont change our finishing issues!
This problem wont disappear if we create even more chances!
It will only disappear when we learn how to use them efficiently!
The other issue we have, is a decent replacement to Diego. DP has been injured, we will see what Camo cant do today.
But our best long term bet, is Giovinco,
Giovinco needs more playing time and experience for such an important role, because individual efforts/brilliance is not enough!
But he is young and versatile and he can learn how to be tactically efficient in that position.
Patient and time are on his side and thats precisely what we need from a sub!
Cassano has never learned to obey any tactical schemes, thats why he cant be a part of a serious team! And he wont bother learning one now!
He is a raw talent indeed, but not meant to teams of the highest competition!
There is a reason why the coaches in Real and NT didnt use him.
He is a great tool, but very hard to use! And its too late to fix him now!
Or create a team upon him, on this level...
Cassano will offer what he wants, when and how he wants!
At his age, he will only create bad conflicts with Diego (if we use him as AMF) and Amauri (if we use him as SS) ! Giovinco is in the perfect age to be a competent replacement for Diego.
Whilst Giovinco is still young, he loves Juve and knows what sacrifices he has to make.
Sometime in the future Ciro might try him in a SS role or find a new place in a 4-2-3-1
Cassano needs changes here and now and he will create a lot of compatibility and competition issues.
With DP and Treze out of the picture we have (starter) Amauri and (sub) Iaq as the die hard creative forwards, who can do it all, but dont excel at finishing.
Amauri MUST be our starter and Iaq is fine with his sub status, esp if he grows a bit older...
We have (starter) Diego and Giovinco (sub) to give us the spark in the midfield and create chances for our two forwards.
And now for the other forward place, i would like to see a starter goal-scorer,
someone who will score like 20-25goals/season, from the chances Amauri/Iaq and Diego/Giovinco will create for him. And his sub would either be a youngster
(Lanza/Palla back? ) or one of those two subs (aging Iaq/ rising Giovinco)
A balanced team, with clear roles! What would Cassano offer to that team??
The Cassano-Amauri twin wont be any more prolific than the Amauri-Iaq is, actually it will be even less prolific than that, since Iaq>finisher than Cassano!!
It will also be counter productive to Diego's skills, as the more Cassano and Amauri will be dribbling around, the less influental, Diego will be...
If we use him as AMF, that would be even worse, as we should better use Cassano now, at the zenith of his carrier (age wise)
Having to choose one between him and Diego is very counter-productive!
Wy not keep the five year younger Giovinco instead and watch him raise and rising and get more playing time, as he becomes better and Diego is growing older??
There are no tactical benefits to get Cassano here and now, as we will be stack with either two non-prolific options upfront, or we have to sacrifice one between Cassano and Diego, if we take another Finisher, to replace Treze!
Considering the current balance and Giovinco's age, there are no strategical, long term advantages either! So why bother??
