He did well 2 seasons ago IMO and had a bad season last year. But everyone except for Zambrotta had a pretty lousy season. So based on this I wouldn't say it's that long ago since Del Piero played good games.

Oh, but I never said Del Piero still is a world class player. I said he was a world class player and Miccoli will never be one. And I said that all this Del Piero-bashing was hardly fair considering Miccoli never achieved the things Del Piero did.

Oh, I knew you got it. But if I explain it you don't look that smart anymore. :D

Yeah Bolton = end of career :cheesy:

Class, Miccoli lacks class. Miccoli wouldn't have won the game against Real for us. Miccoli has everything that Del Piero has, but less of it. He's just a tad bit less talented. And to be Juve's no.10 you need to be the best. Which Del Piero was and Miccoli will never be. If you have to chose...

He ended Hierro's career with that move.

Yeah... the penalty he earned himself btw. And he played a great match in which he gave three or four sitters to Trezeguet, who missed all. You simply CAN'T blame Del Piero for that game.

Well he had brilliant moments and he had less brilliant ones. And if you're going to compare him to the Del Piero of '98, then no he didn't have a brilliant season.

I guess there are just a lot of people here who hate Del Piero. Yes, I'm thinking of you Tom. They just can't see the good things he has done.

He played better than Miccoli ever did.

True, but I find it strange how all of this gets us to criticise Del Piero in a largely unfair way. What on earth has Del Piero got to do with this? Is he just our scapegoat when something doesn't go our way or something?

Exactly. But that's what Miccoli did and IMO that's hardly professional behaviour.

Well, to be honest I think Miccoli is just a small ignorant bastard. How could he seriously think Juventus would choose him over Del Piero. And he shouldn't make it look like Del Piero is the one to blame for his departure. Del Piero used to Miccoli's colleague and you treat colleagues with...

Oh and complaining when two nations play a strange 2-2 tie when they need to is disturbed? Yes, THEN you're a conspiracy theorist, right? Come on, do you even believe what you wrote?

That's hardly fair. He had one bad season, a season in which everyone sucked by the way. As far as I know he did score 16 goals in the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 championship. He shone a couple of times in the Champions League in 2002-2003 as well, being our best player against Newcastle and Real...

It means: "Return? I don't know"

Well, they made the right decision. But in a year or two, possibly even next year, it's time to get on and ditch Del Piero.

What surprises me is that Miccoli makes it sound like as if there actually was a possibility they would sacrifice Del Piero. Which would mean this really is a new Juventus.

But I'm not sure why one of the two had to be sacrificed in the first place.
