Novellino in Del Piero call Wednesday 24 August, 2005
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sampdoria boss Walter Novellino has invited Juventus enigma Alessandro Del Piero to join him in Genoa.
The Bianconeri captain is seemingly no longer assured of a first team shirt at Juve, leading to stories of a possible departure.
Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti stated at the weekend that he wouldn’t turn down the chance to sign him and Novellino shares the same view.
"They can give him to me," the tactician told the Turin-based Tuttosport newspaper on Wednesday.
"If Juventus want to be free of him, even if I think that is unlikely, then I would be delighted to have him in my side."
Novellino, one of Italy’s most promising tacticians, rates Del Piero’s current club highly and insists they will retain Lo Scudetto.
"They are even stronger than last season," he added. "Patrick Vieira is their best buy, while Emerson is a frightening leader. Zlatan Ibrahimovic? He is worthy of the Golden Ball.
"Milan are more spectacular than Juventus but they are less concrete at times."
Sampdoria finished fifth last term and Novellino is optimistic they can enjoy a similarly successful campaign this time around.
"The battle for fourth will be tough," he stated. "I respect all of our opponents but I would bet on Samp."

Samp would be a good club for DP imo. They're in the Uefa Cup, they have a quality team, a good tactician, they're ambitious and most importantly Alex would play regularly. I honestly believe that if Del Piero plays a lot of first team football this season he'll be in the Italy squad for Germany 06.
No I dont think he'd be there anyway. Vieri, Totti, Gilardino, Cassano are all miles ahead of him as far as I'm concerned. And with the likes of Toni and Carriacolo knocking on the doors of the senior squad, I think Dp is going to need serious playing time if he has to be on that flight to Germany. And that is why I see it imperative for him to leave Juve as well.
Im not sure he will. I mean 1 International call up in a year doesn't suggest a guaranteed bench role. But a move to Samp would be ideal for him,a solid squad with hopes of 4th place.IF he has a good season(injury free aswell) then Lippi would have no choice.I would much rather see him in Genoa than Milan.
This really is the end of an era :down:

He's faster, bigger, a center forward, got a better strike rate on the Nazionale than Dp and as things stand is in all likelihood going to get way more playing time in the Serie A than Del Piero. There is no way I can see Dp get the nod over Vieri if it comes down to that as far as the Azzuri go, even with Lippi at the helm.
i think currently,montella has the best chance of making the squad ahead of both vieri and dp.i doubt wether vieri will make the squad if quality finishers like gilardino,toni and montella continue their good form.it could well be cassano,gilardino,toni,montella and some other low profile forward who might have a great season this time around..
the only way dp might be drafted into the squad is as cover for cassano,or unless he has a great season.

Vieri is bigger than Cassano ,also,but not better.The size doesn't mean much.Faster...how fast he is exactly ,he looks to me like a grandma on th field.
One thing is sure,and I agree with you about that,and that's the playing time in the Seria A.I think that Vieri is going to be the startng line up solution,and that Gila will be the sub.From the milan's friendlies(both games against Chelsea,and some others) we can conclude that Vieri is going to be next to Sheva.
