juve has had hundreds of captains and i am sure they all have been loved, but we have moved on.
You are right!! and most of them I am sure finished their careers with juve.

and what does that prove? so has tachinardi, and montero and plenty others who have or will have to leave when they time has come
Del Piero gave the team more than the players you have mentioned..

thats not even an argument, the team won those with his and everybodies else contribution.
yes you are right, but he was a major factor in all of them.. Including this year's scudetto.

how many of those in the last 4-5 years ?
I agree not as many as before, but looking at statistics we reached the final more between 1993-1998 than 1999-2005 which means more games --> more goals.

and? i m sure there are plenty who are if not just as good, they are good enough
We are looking at a package here not just a single feature..

i m sure he gets all the credit for the goals. the team never helped him for anything
No, neither does any other player who scores a goal in this whole world.. it takes a team to win and it takes a team to lose. My argument was that he still scores a good number despite not playing as much games as, lets say Ibrahimovic.

i would say he was in our top 5 most crucial. we have had people more crucial than him
You are right, and I said one of the most crucial, not most crucial.

maybe. plus he can still be if he moves to another team in seria a
Why do that? Why not stay here.

how many championships will that get us. not that i am contradicting you, i am just saying that you are overrating that a bit.
That past one for an example. He didn't start a fight with Capello or the management because he has been subsituted. And when he was asked to play her played really well by scoring and assisting.

i personally feel that those money could be used better.
Thats your opinion.. but finacially he is bringing Juve more money than he is getting from Juve.

injury prone, one more reason to drop him. we have a younger striker who has as many, if not more assits. he gets the heat only because people rightfully expect a lot from him.
If you are talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic.. He is the future. He is a player Juve should not leave easily. I am a big fan of him. And I think our attacking forward is unstoppable when both Zlatan and Del Piero are onfrom, because both can assist and score.
Del Piero is a Juve Champion, a Juve idol. You just don't sell your idols.

old.
Not so old, he just broke his 30s.

Yes. I was talking about trophies collected as a player. But as said before he was a crucial part in all of them, inclucing Scudetto 28.

this is by far, the biggest bullshit i have ever heard on the argument. del piero maybe be many things but never that.
Hmm, if you think so then there is no point in continuing the discussion;
I'll just note something, during the last 1/3 of the season with many problems the team is going through, e.g. Nedved's injury, Zlatan's ban ..etc Del Piero did perform. He gave all his best during Milan's game which was very crucial for teh scudetto and was awarded man of the match. He played great games against many teams. against Roma both legs, against lazio first leg, against Fiorentina, against Siena, against Lecce ..etc I do agree when he came from the injury he was under par, but then he got his act together and finished last 1/3 of the season on the high. He did perform well, and he silenced all his critics. Thats just a fact.

so? thats the minimum a player can do.
Tell that to many team captain starting with totti.
I am not saying that Del Piero should get a starting 11 if he is not ready. He should play when he is ready. What i am saying that it would be unfair for Del piero and juve if we sold him. He represnts and era for Juve that is still going. its like saying we should have sold Ferrara, or we should have sold Conte ..etc.
