Claudio Marchisio
At only 25, one would think that Juve would want to hold on to him but no, they would rather rely on a player who spent most of last season injured and who is in his 30's. I am talking about the acquisition of Andrea Pirlo, no one is denying his skill and vision, but is it me or are Juve just thinking about the immediate future. Would it not be wise for the younger players to be around a great player like Pirlo and learn his trick, I mean if he can teach Seedorf his moves, why not Marchisio. Marchisio is a versatile player, with great feet and he can read the game excellently, he's already half way there and he will only get better. He has been with the Turin Giants since the age of seven, so Juventus is something he is proud to be a part off, so why would you take that away from him? Antonio Conte is looking to rebuild the "glory days" that Juventus once had and from his point of view it would be safe and easy to turn to the familiar, but one not take a chance on their youth-why are they so afraid?
Instead of harking back to the days that were, why don't we look at the days that are, and move forward from there.
All of this has happened before, All will happen again...
Juventus are guilty of being short sighted, yes Andrea Pirlo has tremendous experience and has a wonderful touch and amazing vision, but at 32 is he really going to make an impact? And the wise people of Juventus want to get rid of Claudio Marchisio!! Marchisio is only 25 and is a homegrown product of the youth system, as Giovinco is aware, it is hard to break into the senior side, but Claudio showed great determination and will to get a permanent place in the senior squad. He should be considered part of the future, he was no always played in his best position under Delneri but that should taint any ones' view of him.
Juve must have an unlimited supply of money, while us mere mortals are dealing with the financial crisis, they can afford to spend 30m euro on an untested talent. Beppe Morrata is so desperate to get the Argentine forward, he is willing to go above and beyond to get hin, just because he scored 1 goal against Bolivia doesn't mean you should risk everything for an inconsistent player who is coming from a completely different league. They have more " economical" alternatives in Giuseppe Rossi, Javier Pastore and Mirku Vucinic- and guess what... you don't have to mortgage your home to get them and they all have played in Serie A with the exception of Rossi, but even he has got some experience of playing in Serie A with Parma.
Juve are doomed to do the same thing again, get a talented young player who has never played in Italy, who will need time to adapt but of course Juve have no patience, so he will be sold after 1 season at a huge loss!!! Does anyone remember Diego?!!!
