Del Piero is 34, Giovinco will/should take his spot next year.

No offense, but Giovinco is nowhere near Diego at the moment! In 2 years maybe, but at the moment, Diego is a differencemaker, and Gio isn't.

Giovinco has clearly made a huge difference to our previously slow and uninventive attack. we are scoring more goals with him in the team recently that we have in a very long time.

Both players will be important for Juve.

Good to see Diego still "raping" Bundesliga with 5 assists to his name and Werder 10th on the table. This guy is not worth the money mentioned, so not what we need and is so gonna flop.

Hope to God I'm wrong.

Gimme a RB first please...

 

[V]

A CB would be better. We have Zebina.

 

[Enoran]

Can't bank on Zebina being match fit for an entire season. A younger, better and more offensive RB to replace Grygera with Zebi staying as back-up.

 

[cimenk]

RB is our first priority now.. CB second and then creative AM

 

[Sadomin]

A CB would be better. We have Zebina.

It's all about Zebina's fitness. I'd much rather have a season with Legro in the middle than Grygera on the right.

By signing Diego, that surely means we plan on using a trequartista, in which case we already have Seba. Diego is a great player, and I certainly wouldn't be angry if we signed him, but spending £20m on a player that plays in the same role as Seba is not very economical.

They could definitely co-exist. You know, like Ronaldinho - Deco at Barcelona couple years ago. Giego

Yeah .. who cares about Ka-Pa-Ro when u can have Am-Gio-Go

in Bundesliga i can make some difference too.Also Giovinco has turned a few games for us in Serie A.

Diego is a good player but he isn't that great champion we are waiting for.

yeah or Seedorf and Kaka at Milan.

Or Xavi and Messi at Barca right now.

It is not that big an issue to put more than one attacking superstar into a team. Especially given how good our midfielders are defensively. Barca Manage to get by with just one DM but they have good CBs.

If we get Diego and invest in our defenders I think we can easily pull off playing a team with both Giovicno and Diego in it:

With Momo and Marchisio in the mid and if we had a backline of say:

Criscito-Chiellini-Kjaer/Zapata-Zuniga

I think we could be very competitive.

 

[Cronios]

Because of the insane amounts Napoli and Valencia ask for Hamsik and Silva,
Diego is probably our most realistic target right now, unless of course if you would prefer someone like Dawning...

 

[Enoran]

I will take Diego over Hamsik any day. With his hairstyle, u will know he doesn't like heading the ball.

 

[neurosis21]

in all honesty i think diego can be our kaka
i always liked him as a player, although admitetly he hasnt always shined
hes a very dynamic player with a good drive though

 

[Juventinoo]

heading the ball done by forehead not by the hair umpkin:

i hope Diego will come, it's my dream since our comeback from the Dark Times

but DP's position isn't the best for Giovinco...... and we will easily see the same story of gio-nedved this year....

god damn it... we realy lack the defence quality......

This is always a possibility, but I don't really see it happening; I genuinely think our league suits his skill set... and goddam did I ever love watching him rape AC Milan right out of the UEFA cup. 2 fantastic UEFA assists that game.

Plus, that assist number you gave of 5 for the season (Bundesliga, not UEFA) is relative to his support - if his teammates don't convert passes, there's nothing more the setup man can do... and those 10 goals he has would be, what, second on our team right now?

You also left out the most important stat relative to those numbers: He's only played 18 league games this year to accrue 10 goals and 5 assists. That's pretty impressive, IMO. It's obviously quite difficult to find a rhythm when recovering from injuries... continuity is crucial.

It all comes down to how much $ we're willing to give up. I say in the range of 20M + Tiago, or 24M Euro straight cash would be a reasonable deal for a player who in my opinion is second best in the Bundesliga, and hugely marketable...

I've always been all about Silva, but Diego would be a pretty HUGE signing for us. I think in a lot of ways it would signify to the fans - and players around the world- that Juventus is a top class destination once more. As long as we change up the formation, bring back Criscito, and sign a top class RB, I would definitely be on board for this move.
