Have you watched him against Bayern? He's clearly overweight and unfit for a footballer.
Yes and he wasn't a chubby mess, his weight didn't really look concerning. He'd had a longer holiday in the summer, so fitness might not be as good as others.

Cassano is one of the best players in Italy right now. It's a disgrace that we missed out on him.

I would ditch anyone in our forward line in order to get Cassano. Surely he is a key to the Scudetto.
:tup: He has the best assist to minute ratio in the league, Opta posted that today.

Why cant we have all 5 of them (Matri, quag, Vuci, DP, Cassano)? If we would play a 4-3-3 it would be perfect (I'd then keep Amauri as well as our attack would be very light then, although that would mean no Cassano if its a straight swap). Even in a 4-4-2 we could play one of them as a semi-left wing if neccessary.

It can be done IMO, and Quag was never a starter for us this season and he knows it, especially considering his injury and considering that we need to really increase the quality of the team and we need good players on the bench as well.

"He [Cassano] must work to lose weight, but he is still a great talent," Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

I know nothing about this guy whatsoever.

What can you tell me about him?
He is the best player in our league. (I know doesn't say that much)
+++++
- can shoot/score with both his feets
- Is very comfortable with the ball at his feets (almost never lose the ball)
- Can dribble very good
- Looks for his team-mates
- Can play as Lw,Rw, SS and Amc

----- point
- is a bit injury prone
- doesn't have an EU passport for so far I know.
- Sometimes forget his defence duties
- Wants to much sometimes


Cost 8m-10m as max

Not as good as Cassano for 8m
As much as I would love to have Cassano in Juve (Everybody knows that) a couple of things would have to happen.

Quag would need to be sold. There are just way too many forwards on this squad.

A good LW is an absolute must. I don't believe that Vucinic will be asked to play on the wings, and there is no way that Cassano could do that.

Unless they are switching to a 4-3-3, but even then, there would be too many players and not enough positions for the front line.

If they were in more than 2 competitions, then absolutely I would go for him.

He also has been a transfer rumour of Juve's since then. Personally I don't think he'll never put on the black and white
Which would really be too bad, because his career would have turned out a lot differently had he been there since 2005. He would have been surrounded by champions who are not as famous for their petulance as they are their footballing ability (Looking at you, Totti). It would have been a perfect and calm atmosphere at Juve, and he would have flourished.

No question he could have been a Serie A legend. Although I think its more his will to want to be the best as appose his destinations that never made him reach that level.

Cassano plain and simple is the type that doesn't want to work for it.
