Delpiero or Trezeguet? (14 Viewers)

Incorrect. He was horrible in all but one Champions League match, and in more than half of the Serie A matches he was completely nonexistent. Take away the tap-ins, and he has done almost nothing.
His goals are fine, nothing wrong about that. But when people say Del Piero has done more than Zlatan, I have to tell them he hasn't. Without the assists, there would be no goals. Zlatan has created more goals than Alex, either scoring them himself or giving the pass for the goal.
That is not an excuse for the lackluster performances, whether it be true or not.
You think Alex will get any better??? His performances have just been getting worse and worse, and you tell me he still has a lot to give? He is finished in my eyes, bring in a replacement, now. He might want to give a lot, but he is not capable of doing that anymore. You just have to accept it.
The reason why he subs DP all the time is because he usually is playing horrible. Any player who is not doing anything on the pitch should be subbed, no question. Again, another excuse that does not work for Del Piero. We have had enough.

Believe me Andy, you have no idea how many times I started writing a reply to a Del Piero fanatic, only to tell myself that I cant bother. There's no point really, they see the world through Del Piero colored glasses, and you cant change their mind, no matter how many constructive, intelligent points and arguments you make. So I stopped trying. Cant bother anymore.
-he has not had one bad game, he has had several bad games, and a few (inculding the Milan one) God damn awful ones. He isnt involved in the buildup, doesnt contribute to the play, loses the ball more times than not, and is generally uninterested in contributing to the team.
-and I personaly am not saying DP is finished because he's 30 (altho that is one of the reasons), but because he's too weak, too injury prone and to scared to take on defenders. He gets musceled off the ball to easily.

We need one fast attacker. I think that Zlatan and Trezeguet isnt fast enough, same with Del Piero and Zalayeta. Our midfield isnt fast enoug either. We lack pace in our team. Bring in a fast forward, a creative midfielder and hmmm..you do the thinking Capello

Just bring in Maldini and let him run around up top, he has barrels of pace.
He was incorrect but your reply was just as wrong. DP played four CL matches and was good against Ajax and Maccabi. Away to Bayern he was ok, the home fixture against the Germans was the only game in which Alex really struggled. In his 11 Serie A appearances he excelled against Siena, Roma and Lecce. He was reasonable against Brescia, Reggina, Lazio and Sampdoria. That's seven games and you'll have to tell me about the Bologna match because I didn't catch that one. Five goals (one tap-in, one penalty) and two assists in 11 games (9 of them starts) is nothing?
Del Piero hasn't done more than Zlatan, that's a foolish argument, I'll only say that the latter has seen alot more playing time.
He can still be useful imo, whether it be off the bench or from the start when he's playing well. Whittle down his salary, relieve him of the captaincy and see how things go from there. I think that's the best option because we won't get alot for his sale.
Capello's decisions make it very convenient for you to make that statement but wasn't DP offering more than Zlatan when he was replaced against Roma, Siena, Lecce, Ajax and others? He failed to play the full game against Maccabi after scoring, at who's expense I wonder? If I'm pro-DP then Capello and yourself are definitely pro-Zlatan and one thing you can't deny is Don Fabio's favouritism towards Zlatan. Ibrahimovic is the better player right now, but it's not fair to Alex that he's only played one full game all season when he has outdone his strike partner on quite a few occasions.
