Rolling on the floor,temper tantrums,blah blah.He has some issues when it comes to his own self,but no one can deny the quality he has.He's my favourite player ever,so my judgement of him might be biased.I wont even defend Cassano over the rolling on the floor issue,as anyone who saw that incident would know that he wasnt 'rolling' on the floor.Its easy to spice up what he did to make it sound more pathetic than it actually was.
An on form Cassano is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best players in Europe.I have no hesitation in saying that.Id love him at Juventus,and ive wanted him here for almost 3-4 years now.The fact is that hating Cassano for his personality and ignoring the footballing talent that he has is extremley easy to do.Will he be Del Piero's heir?No.I dont think so.He has the quality,but i dont think Cassano or any other player for that matter will have a similar impact at Juventus as Del Piero for a while now.
Ive always hoped that Cassano sets the stadium on fire with his displays.Once again,he does have the potential to do that.But im just thinking,would he fit in at Juventus?After years and YEARS of being a massive fan of his,i think Cassano needs an environment where he is the team's nucleus.Thats not bad thing.People will call that self centerdness,but it is anything but.I personally think that the media frenzy attached with the big clubs does Cassano more harm than good.He'll do much better in a comparitivley smaller club,where he is the team's star,where the media wont scrutinize his every move,and where the environment is much more calmer.This is the type of environment which will bring out the best in him,and that has led me to believe that Sampdoria suits him really well.I think he could achieve great things at Sampdoria.He possesses the talent to take a team to greater heights single handedly if he's THE player in the squad.This is something that he wont really get at Juventus.Here he'll be a great player amongst other great players.At Sampdoria he will be THE best player.And that is where i think he'll excel.
Id love it if he joins Juventus,but i think for the sake of his own career,staying at Sampdoria would be the best option as that might finally see him do the great things that were expected from him.
Regardless of where he ends up,Ill always be a Cassanoist
