He was delivering fridges at 28 years old. Went up with Crotone last year and impressed slightly (Crotone were relegated).

Apparently, Pioli and Maldini wanted him as well.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but has anyone else seen Juve's All or Nothing documentary series on Prime? I watched the first episode. It's well produced.

by BarrileteCosmico Fri Nov 26, 2021 10:09 pm

I watched the city and spurs ones. The production value is very high but you gotta eat a lot of company propaganda along the way. I imagine the juve one is no different.

Once again Juve is scapegoat for something everybody else is doing

That Pjanic-Arthur deal you could smell it was some shady stuff going on. They made it too obvious. Paratici could not even fraud correctly ffs

by Lord Spencer Sat Nov 27, 2021 2:31 pm

That's an obvious shady move by both clubs. Probably should get a fine and stern warning.

Nothing to see here.

I'm on the last episode atm,

Word around the street is that Ramsey had more of a prominent role when they were producing it, but after his recent comments and falling out, they had cut him out.

Juve are shocking, like Barca shocking.

So did Pirlo made Juve bad or Juve made Pirlo look bad? hmm

by Warrior Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:00 pm

Juve was a bad team and Pirlo was a bad coach. The result was very bad

So, someone want to give some context? Anyone knows what's at stake here?

by Warrior Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:16 pm

We sell Pjanic 60 millions it counts as +60 in the books. We buy Arthur 72 millions but we can delay the payment over many years. So we make a false profit and Barca also.

Almost every transfer is inflated so i wonder why even bother, one year after the facts...

What is at stake, idk, probably a slap on the wrist.

Ronaldo made them look better than they were

Sure, they "could" have equalized in their moment of dominance. But Inter "could" have scored more in theirs as well. Yet, it should be worrying for Inter that they obviously look much worse in the final minutes of these matches (True against Juve, Milan, and now Napoli).

In the end, for 67% of the match, Inter were the better team, and this bears out with the stats with twice as many shots and more corners.

Inter didn't dominate anything in the first half, you just imagined things. Their biggest chances were three wimpy shots from outside the box, while Osimhen was close to scoring twice from close range.

Probably the second. Sarri and Pirlo weren't given any real support, so they can't be blamed. Allegri is the one who made Juve bad, it started four years ago.

This would be true if Juve were creating about the same as last year, but they're not, not even close, and the reason is not Ronaldo since he's not a creator. Plus, by his own standards, he was bad last year

You're just blind. Past Napoli's goal, the game's was exclusively being played in Napoli's half with the occasional counter attack.

A couple of "wimpy" chances Laughing

Inter had streets to run into, and bar some poor decision making, would have scored at least one more before half time.

Hell, Spalletti himself admitted as much.

Other three golden points thanks to this man paid 0 euros .

Some of the first, more of the later. Justice for Pirlo.

It also shows how dreadful it is to go from Ronaldo to Morata as they main expected goal threat.

This
Pandora box came out after him
Inter lost Hakimi and Lukaku but they have a better structure

by rincon Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:20 pm

It should silence the absurd narrative that Ronaldo was damaging the quality of the football. Same as now for United.

by Lord Spencer Sun Nov 28, 2021 2:18 pm

Four offside in 15 minutes.

Diaz wastes a glorious counter attack chance.

by Lord Spencer Sun Nov 28, 2021 2:25 pm

Romagnoli with a goal :yay:

by Lord Spencer Sun Nov 28, 2021 2:27 pm

Sassulo with an immediate equalizer after a massive mistake from Bakayoko and Saladmaker.

by Lord Spencer Sun Nov 28, 2021 2:34 pm

The kind of back passes we make are suicidal without Tomori's speed bailing us out.
