Stephan Lichtsteiner (46 Viewers)

[JCK]

He's not like signing Lilian Thuram from Parma, but realistically we don't have much of a chance of signing someone better unless we fork over mad cash. In Serie A, we can all argue who's better, perhaps Isla is, some will say Cassani, obviously Maicon is better, but who else is there? In foreign leagues we have Beck who is a very good and relatively young RB, in France there are some decent talents, but nothing of the same reputation as Lichtsteiner. He's not world class by any means, but he's a good player.

Remember what I said about Isla. He hasn't played in a 4-back system regularly. For both Chile and in Udine, he plays as a wing-back or wide midfielder. That's not what we are after. So at least Marotta is making sense from a tactical perspective for a change. We aren't using a 3-back system.

And thank goodness for that.

on the face of it we definately did well to buy one of serie A's most consistant right backs without breaking the bank, couldn't have asked for a better realistic option tbh

Welcome to Juve.

 

[CAPITANO]

Molinaro 2.0

thats what some Rome based Juve fans are calling him, good defensive work but going forward is a different story

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I think that assessment of him is a little bit off the mark, but even if its true...fine. As long as he keeps that right side of defence on lock we can let Krasic do his thing.

 

[Gagi]

Well, at least he won't suck in both departments like Motta.

 

[Trequartista]

Well, if he is mediocre at going forward like those Romans claim, I'd love to hear what they say about Cassani.

From what I have seen from Cassani's crossing in the last 3-4 months, Lichtsteiner's is better.

And no one can be as bad as Molinaro at crossing.

isn't he good going forward? if i'm not mistaken i read somewhere in this forum that he had pretty good amount of cross last season, CMIIW.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

He is pretty good offensively. The Molinaro comparison is whack.

That is complete nonsense.

 

[Cronios]

Welcome Licht, he is the best transfer of the season and one of the most useful since calciopoli.
I m looking forward the official confirmation!

 

[Trequartista]

Those Rome based Juve fans probably expected us to sign the second coming of Zambrotta or something like that.

Lichtsteiner is a good right back, decent signing.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yah the Molinaro comparisons are ridiculous.

Does anyone know his cross and also assist statistics from last season? CBF finding them, but Id be interested to see them.

He will be our best fullback since the Zambrotta/Thuram days.

Holy shit, a positive comment by Cronios.

13 assists at least Molinaro v 1.0 had 0 assists @ juve

 

[Trequartista]

I didn't compare him with Lichtsteiner, I said that the people who made the Molinaro comparison probably expected us to sign the second coming of Zambrotta.

Big difference.

 

[Trequartista]

Get Cassani's stats, I bet his aren't much better.
