You got to feel for the guy. Moved to a trainwreck inter, and actually had one good year there. He then gets the opportunity to play for Juventus, but brought in as a disappointing signing vs. since fans expected a bigger name. From day 1, he was the panic buy that Inter didn't want. It completely ignored his merits as Lazio's best player a couple seasons before. And given that he is an intelligent midfielder, he wouldn't experience a crippling decline (like a winger, for instance) in just 2 seasons. He then rode the bench for most of the year, playing in one of the deepest midfields in football. I think it is fair to say, he hasn't had the easiest ride in terms of opportunities here.
