Read that Emre Can has made only 3 starts for juve this season. I think he was injured a little bit, but still, almost feel bad for him, he was never getting in ahead of Bentancur, Matuidi, Pjanic, Khedeira and even Dybala who sometimes drops into midfield.
The grass isn't always greener, but at least he will get a league medal in the second most, one team league, in Europe.

He’s not at that level yet frankly. It’s annoying signing a player young and full of promise and losing them for nothing, when they were starting to get better and better. His saving grace may be khedira and matuidi are getting on but he really needs to start more games.

Come on Benny. It can't be only about medals? Don't you remember that one of the reasons he left (supposedly), was about not having Klopp's full confidence and more game time?

But he played near enough every game when fit!?
Honestly, i wish him well, time will tell but fab could turn out to be an inspired signing.

I just don’t get it. Why would you join a club not to play. I’m not saying he should of stayed at Liverpool ( I never actually rated him ) but it does make me wonder why players that can be deemed as having potential, would go and sit on a bench.
I think too many players this day and age want it all, immediately. When I was playing, the buzz knowing you was starting every week kept you focused, if you made mistakes you knew you could learn and put it right at the next game. All the training in the world doesn’t replace a competitive match. Only half way through a season, maybe he will turn it round.

I honestly just never liked Can all that much as a player. He had his qualities but he never had the intelligence to apply himself as he should of done. He was a great dribbler, but he never seemed to dribble anywhere other than down a blind alley into the corner of the pitch. He was big and strong, but that never seemed to translate into him being much of an intelligent defensive player or strong tackler. He never showed much of a great passing range either. He was never really tencious or nimble enough to play under Klopp. I honestly just didn’t know what his best qualities were and where he should of played, Oxlade was a better attacking midfielder, Wijnaldum and Milner were better box to box players, Henderson was a better holding player. I could never see where he fitted in. Having said that i do think he will be fine at Juve in the end, and i am not spiteful for him having left. As Ed002 says, players are transiente employees of the club.

Another one who will slip into the abyss. Nobody watches Juve unless their in CL and if he's not playing, then he'll be forgotten about.

{Ed0333's Note - Emre Can has a Thyroid nodule. This is an extremely serious situation which will probably require surgery and may worst case scenario end his career.

Emre had an operation around October, due back training soon. Emre never really developed into the player he threatened to be, however still wish him luck and hope to see him get back in the team.

In all fairness Ed he's actually had the surgery and is now available to play again.

{Ed001's Note - only just back.}

Spot on, Ed333. To be fair, I found it strange that he was not playing as much so thanks to the Ed for dropping that piece of knowledge. Sadly, It seems some where dancing over his grave for not playing that much w/ o actually bothering to know why he was not playing. I personally do not have that much time for players who don't play for us anymore cos I am more about them having great careers even if it is not with us cos playing for us, is just a phase in a career and nothing more.

As for people having issues with him leaving, I propose we focus on the good things he did for us and the role he played in getting us to where we are now esp. in the 16/ 17 season where he played for weeks with a calf injury cos we had no depth and Klopp needed him. His superb goal helped us get top 4 that season vs Watford. I wish him well going forward and I wish others will just do the same and let the other bitter stuff go.

No problem with Emre Can, gave 100% every time he pulled on the red shirt and was a model pro.

Best Wishes to him 👍.
