Anelka should play he earned it I think but Conte...

Peluso and Padoin on the wings ...hmm lets see how we'll look after this. Tbh Peluso in the recent games is better than Asa

padoin doesnt deserve to play before isla

Yup on 30th March but we'd have Bayern in 3 days after that though.

Personally i'd rest most of our starters in Inter game if you ask me.We have a healthy lead in Serie A and hopefully we win tonight as well to keep that lead intact.

isla needs some time to adapt, and imo isla is a better hard worker than padoin , padoin is so "stoned"

I see.

Devi, how can u say Padoin has outshined Isla? Padoin is kind of weak in defense, not good positioning, doesnt add anything in attack and doesnt shoot, just doesnt have any kind of spark.He is what he is, a bench player. If we paid 9 mil for a player we need to nurture that talent not give minutes to a bench player.

For me in the summer one of Padoin, Giaccherini, De Ceglie or Peluso has got to go.

Padoin is an adept player thats always to the coach and plays lots of position, has a bit of grinta but its like a poor's man Giach

Giacch is the man with most created chances after Pirlo in this team and I won't speak about his contribution anymore.

De Ceglie needs to leave here I agree.

Peluso in the recent matches was far better than Asamoah ( since his return)

Padoin in defense never ever lets a cross or a man pass if you notice him good you'll know, in terms of hard working he outshined Isla in my eyes. In terms of quality ofc Isla > Padoin but so far Padoin showed more and has great tech tbh just watch him.

btw Giacch said today that Conte told him he ( giach) won't leave until Conte is manager in Juve

i didnt say Giach has to leave, i like Giaccherini a lot. but to improve the squad we need to up the overall quality, hence, one of the weak players (even if giach is the best of these players) has got to go


and personally i wouldnt sell De Ceglie....
