vOnAm, you're missing the point. When i say Dp has held us back, yes its because of the lack of his ability to perform and stand up and be counted when it mattered most, but we continued to be emotionally attached and held on to him hoping, he'd recover past glory, which never happened. And that...

I dont think you can compare Sheva's role to Dp's at Juve, or Owen's at Liverpool. Sheva never had to carry the team on his shoulders, even though he does. He had way too many people already doing that on the team.

Remember we too have done that with Del Piero, and that has held us back. Liverpool let go of Michael Owen at the right time, and see where they are today.

Dont you get it? Why would you want to sell Trezeguet, Zambrotta and Emerson, when you could make the same amount of money selling Zlatan? It would crazy to sell three of your stalwarts for 1 potential superstar. Think about the amount of adjustment we'd need if we shot ourselves in the foot...

@Vonam: Its not the positions of those players, or the role of those players that are being compared. Its what they bring to the team: a certain balance and consistency. The fact remains, when Zambro is on the pitch, he brings a balance and versatility that could allow us to switch formations...

Yea, I'm going to use that money to fund my next world trip. :rolleyes:

Well, lets just take the example of Real Madrid for a minute. Ronaldo, Raul, Morientes (at the time) Zidane, Figo. Probably as good an attacking line up on paper in the history of the game. So what could be wrong? Well, if you people just go back in time, and remember the name Makalele. Not half...

Yep, i guess some of us just forget to look at the bigger picture Sal.

Whatever works for Luciano.

I dont think Zambro has peaked yet to start with. Having said that, i firmly believe he still has five years to give to this team. Selling him alone, cannot fund our requirements. Zlatan's sale on the other hand, would fund everything from a defender to a decent enough replacement in attack...

Who knows what the future holds one way or another? Like i said, Zlatan may eventually want to leave for lack of vibrancy in the city of Turin or because his girl wants to be by the sea, or just maybe that he has a fallout with Moggi. On the other hand he could be the best player to have graced...

Too many ifs and buts. Let him go when we've not yet based the foundations of our team around him. He's a fantastic player, but i think if we can find even a half decent replacement (which we can in Cassano or Gila), with a well bolstered midfield, we'd be more complete than we are now with...

That's the point im trying to prove. Out of 4 finals in 7 seasons, we've won just one, that too on penalties. Even though we had the likes of Vialli, Ravanelli, Del Piero (in his prime), Inzaghi, Zidane (the greatest player of the era), Deschamps, Vieri at some stage or the other. Incase you...

You need to reach the final to win it. ;) Irrespective, anyway. The point remains, that every player has a price. And with the Zlatan & Emo deal, i think we've been presented with an opportunity that we would be foolish not to consider.

Yea, well i dont see Adriano's Inter, Ibra's Juve, Zidane's Madrid and Ronaldinho's Barca in the final.

Inter infact, have lost their chance and they will regret it in the coming seasons. Just remember Adriano, may at this point of time be better than Zlatan, but as we've seen that doesnt guarantee jack. Im a firm believer, that players dont win you titles, teamwork does. Come to think about it...

Zambrotta is less expendable than Zlatan if you ask me. As much as i love Ibra, ive got to say, it'll be foolish not to consider our options if 70 million is indeed, the price on the table.

As the Nike tagline would say 'Just do it.'

Its unlikely we'd sell Zlatan as long as Capello's around. However, personally, it makes perfect business sense to do so. The fact of the matter remains, Juve does not yet have a squad that has the depth or the talent for that matter to challenge for the Champions League. Holding on to Zlatan...

Sell Zlatan and Del Piero, buy Cassano, Giladino, Aimar/Riquelme Chivu, Barzagli, Meghni/Pizarro and Mancini (and switch him to d). Cassano, Trez, Gila, Mutu, Zalayeta (Thats a Champions league winning attack) Chivu, Mancini, Cannavaro, Barzagli, Thuram, Kovac, Zebina (Thats a Champions...
