Gunners link to Del Piero (4 Viewers)

[Byrone]

Arsenal have reawakened their interest in Alessandro Del Piero after the Juve forward once again expressed frustration with his situation. The Azzurri striker fears he is becoming known as a 'super-sub' in Italy because of the way he is used by Coach Fabio Capello. According to Tuttosport, Del Piero is thinking of demanding a move from the Old Lady this summer with the Premiership his favourite destination. “I feel I have five or six years in me yet,” he said. “Who knows whether I will spend it all with Juventus but I can’t see me staying in Italy.” Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a big admirer of Del Piero and the Frenchman sees him as the ideal replacement for the retiring ex-Inter flop Dennis Bergkamp.

The mind games have begun.

5-6 years left in him?i think that going a bit overboard.

 

[Byrone]

not if he leaves Juve (which he shouldnt) but teams like palermo & siena would definitely make him play till he was 36/37.

 

[HelterSkelter]

im talking about the toll his body can take.he IS injury prone.

 

[Byrone]

yeah i know,but as i said the smaller teams tend to stretch the careers of former heroes ie Zola,Baggio etc.

 

[HelterSkelter]

true.zola is an exception imo.he played at the highest level with chelsea till about 37.

And let's not forget that the Premiership isn't as physically demanding as the Serie A. And with the way they defend over there, Alex could play some of his best football till he was 36/37.

Wasn't Alex linked to Liverpool ahead of the Pool game last year?

Yes, and we were interested in Raul before thr Real Madrid game last season.

 

[Maher]

this is all false rumours

 

[Geof]

tsss...Wenger, this is childish. Just because we bought Vieira? oh come on....

and btw, if you try to get DP, we'll try to get Fabregas. How 'bout that, Arsène?

 

[Azzurri7]

Screw Fabregas. Ale is staying.

Some topics definitely deserved to be locked

This is nothing new, Man Utd have been linked to him before as well as a host of other Premiership clubs. If there is an interest from Highbury it wasn't concieved yesterday.

 

[Espectro]

je,je,je,je, this is funny

 

[Sadomin]

Tell me, where in that article does it say that Arsenal is interested in buying Del Piero?

 

[Il Re]

i smell something............bullshit

but if he wants to play until he's 36-37 he'll probably have to leave; since Capello is also thinking about extending his contract
