You don't have to leave the field if there was a yellow card for the tackle.

Surely if you're an "expert" paid to cover a sport, you should know the rules?

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@espen_ts 2/2 Juve are looking for a partner to start next to Bremer. Then there’s Kalulu, Gatti, Cabal & Savona. Rugani & Kelly aren’t needed anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

3.5 years later, the point still stands. Depth is only depth if the player is good enough to play. We're now talking about a 31 year old who we KNOW isn't up to the task.

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

“Ah Rugani is ok as a 4th choice central defender”

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@espen_ts Different Juve sporting directors & coaches have sent him out on loan because he isn’t good enough. None of those teams signed him because he wasn’t good enough. But you know better? 1/2

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@espen_ts Until he doesn’t & we lose in CL games because of it. This is the issue I mentioned in my original tweet, every player in the squad has to be able to contribute when it matters. He can’t. We know this.

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue Given Juve need a partner for Bremer, there’s Kalulu & Gatti so Cabal or Nicolò Savona is a better 5th choice CB. See how easy that was?

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue All that is true. And then he’s called into action and hurts the team. That’s why he can’t be in the squad at a serious club trying to win. Maybe Allegri will take him to Milan

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue “Sent away due to being really poor”

“Before his mistake against Villarreal”

The defence rests your honour.

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue So you’re citing a season without Europe where he wasn’t called upon in a big moment to argue that in very specific circumstances he can help Juve finish 3rd while playing no role in winning the Coppa Italia? That’s not exactly an endorsement.

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue And the flip side of this is that if he was such a perfect 4th or 5th choice, why do wildly different Juve sporting directors & coaches all think he isn’t?

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@MrDannyBlue If he was good, why do you think every team who loaned him has not taken their option to sign him?

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@espen_ts No, he isn’t & we have a decade of evidence that proves it. Watch the games & you can’t miss it

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@ITruth98 @MaksJuventino Agreed

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

For @ForbesSports I ask if Dusan Vlahovic is the worst transfer flop in #Juventus history https://t.co/prdQAoL3bR

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

For @ForbesSports, a look at why #Juventus made Jonathan David their first signing of the summer

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@FilialJuveFan @emaxstatman I'm talking about Kean the first time not second

[Adam Digby @Adz77]

@ITruth98 Agreed. Arthur, Bernardeschi, Costa, Melo, Pjaca all way way worse. Vlahovic contributed, he just never lived up to the promise of his last 1.5 seasons in Florence

Our top scorer in 1994/95, a champion on the pitch, but above all a man with a legacy like few others... ♾

Gianluca Vialli was born on this day in 1964 🤍🖤
