to all DP proponents, glad that this has resumed at a friendly level. The thread is really about DP's value to Juve as perceived by each and every one of us. Agree with Sparty that DP is not playing to the level of his talent and sadly, whatever is left of it today. If DP had as much faith...

sally inzhaghi, in case you do not realise, I do not disagree with your opinions. Do not have a problem with your beliefs on which journalists to believe, that DP is still of value to Juve. I asked for opinions and got them. Did not expect one way traffic and if you did actually noticed, did not...

eaglesnake, please kindly read the thread properly before shooting your mouth off. The matter of reiterating what the journalists had said about DP and what SallyInzhaghi had said about my purportedly weak arguments are two different matters. My message to SallyInzhaghi is one of form and...

sallyinzhaghi, befor u go respond to my comments, go find out what journalists covering the Serie A are saying based on their contacts in the game about DP. Am merely reiterating what has been said about DP such he is a one-trick horse and low in confidence. And i think you are far too...

denco, i think u have overstepped the mark here. for dp's infamous corner kicks, check out the first game he played in the 1998 WC, that being the second game Italy played. My point of comparing him to Henry obviously stings people like you who cannot accept that he is no longer in his prime...

good response by denco and others in favour of DP. Still, there are many who do not believe that he will improve nor is the great player that he used to be. Others have overtaken him and he is far from a big-time player, having disappointed so many during the CL finals and the 1998 WC. A truly...

Thanks Graham, glad to know that there are quite a number of people who do believe that DP does not help Juve's cause on the field too often. There have been mumours from people in Juve thinking that he is over-rated and not understanding why he has not been sold. Spot on with the "Del Piero is...

I think there are two camps here. Most if not all of us are Juve fans. We are divided on a couple of issues though. There are those who believe that DP is still of value to Juve and there are those who believe that Juve can only improve if and when DP leaves. Personally, I belong to the second...

a few things if I may (1) Fine, Serie A is tough, but DP hasnt excelled still in spite of DP fans claiming how great a player he is. Marco Van Basten, Gabriel Batigol, Hernan Crespo, Christain Vieri (a supposedly inferior player) have, scoring more than 20 goals a season 3 or more times each...

maybe some among us just dont get it. DP has not lived up to his potential due to certain physical limitations (i.e. lack of pace, physical strength) and his lack of mental strengths (he tends to doubt himself unlike his fans who believe in him faithfully even though he has been much more of a...

quite a few people have said that Henry will not do as well in Serie A. That is however conjecture - he was never given the chances DP had at Juventus, being bought to replace DP when he was out for the rest of the season. What needs to be said though is that Henry has destroyed Roma and Inter...

The responses for DP and Henry are reasonsable mostly. The one comment that DP is the greatest example of talent gone to waste struck home. DP is very talented, perhaps more talented than Henry. But, Henry has played to the best of his talent while DP has not save for the 97-98 season...

Definitely did not post the question in sarcasm. Not one bit. Those who said that DP was excellent in that 97-98 season are spot on, though I am not sure if Henry today is not better than DP then?. That was his best season to date. Those who compared him to what Henry is now are also right in...

Lets vote on this with our heads. Henry is better in finishing, creativity, free kicks, pace, technique, less injury prone, fitness and far far better in the big games. You agree?
