Absolute bollocks.
'Apart from a few silly moments'? The guys is the anthitesis of sport, the epitomy of cheat to win at any costs, the absolute worst diver in the league the last 7-8 years. He was the guy that 'alerted' the referee to yellow card Lukaku after the penalty in Turin like a snivelling vermin, then proceeded to punch our captain in the face after the match. That was in one match. The Perisic stuff is enough in and of itself, and instead we choose to embrace the cunt.
He is, without a doubt, the most unlikeable player in the league (above Theo), and the most unlikeable Juventus player since Chiellini - maybe worse. Comparing him to someone who I'd honestly never heard of in Giannichedda smells of being contrary, because "well, you stomached Conte so this should be just fine
", which I'm sure this is.
The dancing gif alone is and was enough to want to punch your fist through the screen.
In one window we've sold Brozovic for small change, chosen not to renew and icon like D'Ambro (even though he wanted to stay) and let a legend like Handanovic go (maybe on his own accord) - and we turn around a pick up Juventus' trash (and he is just that) whom they for sporting reasons couldn't bother to renew. Let that sink in.
Renewing D'Ambro, who knows the locker room in and out for one more season would make perfect sense, and instead we buy someone who's even fucking older and who's made a mockery of that same locker room for all his time in the Zebra shirt. Marotta is trying to work with what he's got, but there is zero sense to this other than "I've worked with this player before, and he's a
safe (whatever that means) choice". Ah ah. Not good enough. We don't piss on our colors
A) Because you as a sporting director aren't an Interista and see this as purely business.
B) Because you can't be bothered to think of anyone else.
Comparing this to Acerbi is just not getting what's at stake here.
