There was an internal row, that concerned me, rather than bookings/sendings off, but Udinese had problems with him in the past, and at one point the Udine management deliberately "benched" him and wouldn't let him play. I think at the time, he thought himself more important than the rest of the team and the management finally left him out of the team to teach him a lesson. It was years ago and he was younger - and a tad big headed. It was a shame as Udinese were doing well until he threw his tantrum and got himself dumped. He missed quite a few games before he "learned his lesson", but the management was determined that he was not going to get away with his behaviour. Like I said - I hope he's grown out of it. Yes, he gets booked/sent off like others, but I don't want to see the ructions at Juve like he caused at Udinese.

If Udinese were playing well until they benched him, doesn't that tell you something?

That's why I don't really like the player. He was also the captain at that time as well.

How were they at fault exactly? As I recall Iaquinta wanted out and to play for a bigger club all along. That was the purpose of his actions.

And that's wrong? So basically you're saying a player shouldn't want to go to a better club? They were dead wrong to bench him and deprive him of what he rightfully earned: a space in the spotlights.

Bosman was quite a while ago, Andy.

No he didn't want out, he just refused to extend his contract, which had still a year or so...The way I see it, its up to the player to renew or not, if he didn't then he isn't really guilty of anything. But Udinese benched him, in order to twist his arm to get pen on paper...which is wrong...IMO.

Yeah, it would be interesting generally what Juve players would think of some of the stuff that is written on here.

DP would probbly go straight out and hire a body guard for fear of stalkers.

Boumsong would kill himself

Giovinco would decide that he is infact the greatest player ever and doesn't need work to improve,
