Mid-table teams are too good for Amauri too. 
I just think the whole long ball scenarios and krasic attracted to the corner flag never did justice to any of our strikers, most especially this man. His attitude was definetly awful, a wholeseome lazy approach, no desire etc. With conte's wingers and a right mentality we might replicate something like he had at parma.
2 goals in 14 apps. He's a beast! Amauri scored that many in AC Milan game back in 2008.
Amauri was a ghost when he played for us constantly falling to the ground and complaining to the referee. For such a big man there was times he added no presence and it was like we were playing with 10 men and he was extemely easy to mark even for the average Serie A Defender.
Toni on the other hand is also very limited but throws himself about being a nusiance, drawing fouls and has a better eye for goal than Amauri.
And yes Toni has contributed more in 5 months than Amauri has in 2 years.
Del piero is a legend, and you cant compare his situasion with anyone. Sissoko was good when he first came, but the last couple of years he was always horrible. He has some of the worst passing skills i have seen from a mid.
Sissoko is never miles ahead of piazenza as off 2011. And what does it mean that hes miles ahead of p. , atleast as a sub? either hes better or he is not.

What did I just say? What the hell did I just say? I said confidence is a massive contributing factor to form so can you really find any reason other than lack of confidence and injury why Amauri played incredibly at Palermo, well for us for half a season and well for Parma for half a season and all of the sudden played so poorly between the beginning of winter 2009 and his loan during winter last season? Did he just fall over in the tub one day and not realise how to play football? You play in an interrupted squad and your form becomes interrupted. Strikers make good scapegoats because the buck stops at them, they need to score the goals, but there have been players here making an equally poor contribution to the club that are still lurking in the locker room who have half the talent and ability Amauri has shown over the years and even recently for Parma. Its those players that contribute to the goals just as much as any striker. If the whole team isn't ticking, then why should the forwards?
