Moggi: 'Krasic only has Nedved's hair. If he leaves nobody will cry'

Former Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has blasted the ability of Milos Krasic. “He’s only got Pavel Nedved’s hair.”

The Serbian winger arrived in Turin in 2010 and his early form saw him compared to club legend Nedved.

However, Krasic has struggled in 2011 and he’s recently been dropped from the first team by boss Antonio Conte.

“People didn’t know what they were talking about when they said he was like Nedved,” Moggi told Radio Mana Mana.

“They just have the same hair…

“He’s a player who always makes the same decisions. He’s tactically broken and he can’t be relied on to support the side’s offensive manoeuvres.

“He doesn’t sync with the team’s movements, when he gets the ball he just keeps it and when he passes he often gets it wrong.

“His performances in Italy demonstrate as much, but it was clear from his displays in Russia that he was that kind of player.”

Krasic, signed for €15.5m from CSKA Moscow, has been linked with a possible January exit – even if current Juve dg Beppe Marotta today suggested he is going nowhere.

“If Krasic leaves Italy then nobody will start crying at Juventus,” added Moggi. “The balance sheet will though.

“The problem is that the player cost €15m and he’s not worth that. That was a mistake by the club which will damage them financially.”

Moggi's been listening to me it seems. My exact words from before the season started

Isn't this guy in prison?
Don't he have bigger problems to worry about than Krasic...
like not to drop the soap...

For once I agree with Moggi. He never displayed a technical ability like Elia etc - he can play good, not saying Krasic is good, but he never was the kind of player I expect Elia to be.. But as Moggi said, I stand agreed...

Marotta what did you do lool ..

i havent agreed with Moggi in a while, but he is 1000% right here

i also agree here.

While at first it seamed that the 15m reported fee seamed like a steal, we are seeing what happens when a one dimensional player "a la diego" gets found out in serie a. Krasic and Diego are examples of why players take time to adjust to serie a or fail period. Now, before we get into the whole Diego debate again, most of you know I never liked him from the start, but he certainly wasnt given enough time to adjust.

The same can be said about Krasic, perhaps he CAN regain his form and start playing like he did at the start of the season. But regardless (because irregardless isnt a word), Moggi is right: Krasic and Nedved are no where near the same level as we were made to believe. I never really believed he would be Nedved for us, but I did think he would at least have some semblence of being like Pavel. Poor decision making is what makes Krasic a cut below the rest of the World Class wingers, and I also do not think that he has what it takes mentally to recover his form and win back his place in the team.

With all that said, i do WANT him to regain form, but if this continues i wouldnt be opposed to offloading him

actually new reports say and even MArotta that Krasic is not for sale and that he is treated like this because there are players in better form

which also makes complete sense... he is in shit form, whty should he play?

Conte is being ambitious and I dont fault him for it... why change the system or play someone out of form and risk losing when you dont need to.

I'll be sad, that is for sure

same, but I would understand the decision.

How people can blame Conte for Not playing him baffles
Me. Krasic doesn't deserve a starting place.
He's awful. Hasn't had a good game In 10months and hasn't shown enough to warrant a starting place over someone like pepe who is very important for the structure of the team

@pasquale
He was man of the match against Catania, this season
He is the type of player who needs to play until he reaches his top form, it is clear that Conte has no faith in him right now which is fine, lets move on and call it a day
It baffles me when people talk about Pepe's importance, but hey thats just me

You said that Krasic was Man of the match against Catania ? to Luca.. I like Krasic ALOT but his simple tricks are done here.He was good last season because the opposite players didnt know what kind of player is he and now when everybody knows that krasic can run and do the same trick all over again !!!!!!!

He actually was, if I recall correctly but ok I might be thinking of a different game this year but I'm pretty sure it was Catania.

Krasic is one dimensional to an extent, he is a pure winger, he is a right footed player who plays on the right wing and aims to beat a player down the line. It has nothing to do with other players "knowing" players know that Pirlo can pass, he still passes lol

He scored that lucky goal and as i said before his trick are too simple or should i say his one trick because he isnt skillful player as Elia.I can say that even Pepe has better dribbling skills than Krasic but dont get me wrong,I want to see Krasic back in starting XI but not in this form

He was threatening beyond the goal though which is what I remember, I remember every meaningful attack going through him.

Really it has nothing to do with Pepe, they can co-exist, they have before, they can again. Currently, based on how Conte plays it is one or the other. I think Krasic is gone and I am sad

Elia is a more dynamic player, for sure and younger. He is unproven though, and has a questionable attitude.

I have conceded with Krasic leaving, I just wish him good luck at his next club and I will always be a fan.

Obviosly Conte prefers 4-3-3 and in this formation for Krasic dont have space :/ and probably he will leave.I he must leave let that be in EPL not here. I dont want to see him raping our LB :/

Yeah, I hope he does not stay in Italy.
I think he could do well in England, we'll see where he ends up.

Work rate unlike many others... And decent tackling abilities too. Take note that Pepe is the kind of player that actually believes in anything is possible. We saw it against Palermo - trying to reach every single ball even though your're fairly small like him
Pepe might not have the abilities other players like Krasic or Elia does but he sure as hell work his ass off for the team

Conte prefers a 4-3-3 because he's got Pirlo, Marchisio and Vidal at his disposal. Del Neri would play 4-3-3 too if he had the same players

I acknowledge that he works hard but that should not be a hard trait to find for a footballer to have to be honest
I know a lot of players struggle with their work rate and endurance but its a joke that they do

what a fool Moggi

What Krasic needs, right now, is not ruthless mockery, but encouragement, trust and kind advice~ Juve should be a club being able to help his player grow to his full capacity. Moggi better consider more about his own jail life~

Thats disgraceful comments from moggi,you need encouragement for a out of form player not this shit.

^ lol facepalm

Krasic started from Jan till may and didn't have a good game.
Moggi is 100% right here. So damn predictable.
Krasic won't hit form again unless u call form 1 good half which was like against Catania. His first half was so bad.

Pepe is important don't worry, u don't believe me? Ask lippi, conte , prandelli, del neri, guidolin why they all picked him for there side
