And ADP, Trez, Buffon, Nedved, and Camo were all in Serie B when they were older than 27, no? Flawed argument. If im not mistaken, Padoin won Serie B with Atalanta, so shouldnt that alone prove he should be in Serie A? Blind hatred. He can also play LB, a spot that has been weak in our recent history.

He has tons of uses, even if he doesnt get playing time. It's the security of having a professional who is ok with being on the bench and only used to fill in gaps in the team.

Same goes for Esti, if he isnt starting, he is good enough to be a squad player.

Ofcourse the lack of good LBs has been taken into consideration. If you read carefully, you will notice I wrote, that if a quality LB cant be signed, we should stick with Esti.

Your comparing Padoin with Buffon, ADP, Nedved etc??? These are proven Serie A winners, world class players, world cup winners, Golden ball winners... and youre comparing them to Padoin??? When these world champions were wrongly demoted to Serie B, for NO fault of theirs and then showed heart-warming character to win back promotion without so muc as lifting a finger in Serie B.....and you compared then to Padoin? AND THEN you go on say that MY argument is FLAWED?! :lol!:
Wow...just wow... i hope for your sake you were drunk or high when you wrote that.

you want security bench players?? Ever heard of Marrone? hes a MUCH better talent than Padoin and deserves to be on the bench atleast. Even Buoy, Appelt probably deserve more bench time than Padoin and would be happy to play for Primavera, while warming the bench and playing 15-20 minutes when needed for the CM position which iswhere Padoin has been predominantly used. And how many times has Padoin meaningfully been used as a LWB? I can think of maybe one game...

You know how much critical I have been of Bonucci but he has started to really improve and I commend him for that. I would be very comfortable now, to use Bonucci as a CB and Chiellini as a LB (over Padoin) in an emergency situation if need be. Hell, Id even use Caceras as LB over Padoin.

Padoin = no use for Juventus. Average player belongs in an average team. I wish he is sold and enjoys the rest of his career in a team where he is a central figure and is regularly in the starting XI.

I was being sarcastic.... trying to prove a point that your argument is flawed.... Immobile is in Serie B as well, are you saying he doesnt deserve to play for Juve? Do you need me to look up every valuable player that has been brought up from Serie B?

We need more than one bench player, and Marrone is not as versatile as Esti, nor do EITHER of them cover the same positions AT ALL. We can obviously use both of them, it doesnt have to be a do or die the way you make it seem.

Padoin=more use than you can understand. Even in training, he is useful. Same goes to Esti if he doesnt become a start, same goes to Marrone. It's not all about who provides the assists and goals, there is more to the game than that.

Marrone will never be in CB role as Padoin is :/
