Fabio Quagliarella is a talented player and Juventus bought him after a loan spell last season, and he was Juve's top scorer despite the fact that his season was cut short due to a horrific knee injury in January that meant his season was over. However this season the forward has only played in 1 game and that was as a substitute. After seeing him on the bench a couple of times, one would hope that he would get a chance to shine, but that wasn't the case.
Antonio Conte is spoilt for choice when it come to the attach with players like: Matri, Vucinic, Giaccherini, Elia, Ianquinta, Amauri, Toni and the evergreen Alessandro Del Piero, he does have a bit of a conundrum on his hands. Quagliarella is 28 years old, so not the youngest but he does have a flair for the unconventional goals which is always useful to have at your disposal. I'm also guessing that he wants to be included in Euro 2012 with the current Italy side, he can't exactly be in contention for a role in the Azzurri if he hasn't played a game all season.
It is still early in the season, and you can't blame Conte for playing Matri ahead of Fabio, Matri is in blistering form which can only be good for the team and Antonio may be slightly apprehensive about disturbing the equilibrium. Who knows, maybe we'll see a cameo next week against his former side Napoli. It would be sheer cruelty to let such a talented player waste away on the bench. Surely Juve aren't that cruel...Are they?
