In my perspective, I would retire those "not-so-famous" numbers in betwwen 1-23. IMO numbers from 7-11 r "untouchable" since there r many legends and fantastic players that wore those shirt numbers b4 and it would be ridiculous to retire them. And these 5 numbers r mainly with amazing players who r fabulous and r mainly attackers. When I think of this, I think of the FIFA and European Footballer of the Year, when the candidates awarded usually wear these shirt numbers.
If I were to retire a number, I would probably choose a number that belongs to a defender, like Milan intending to retire the shirt number #3 after Maldini's retirement. Personally I feel that Juve should retire #2 for Ferrara and #6 for Scirea after their contributions to Juve, to make everybody know the importance of defenders as well.

Would like to se the numbers 1-11 on the starting 11. Bringing back the status in the numbers. Instead of as it is right now.., trez 17 for example.

I think CONSIDERING retiring the N° 10 shirt is enough of a recognition.
Actually withdrawing it would stain Del Piero's legend (it would be yet another polemic). There will be many other 10's @ Juve but none will ever wear it the way Del Piero did. Therefore, no need to withdraw it to highlight what facts & memories already do...Plus, it's not in Juventus' philosophy to do this, get over it, not in a million years. We will have other greats in our squad. We're not Napoli, nor are we Livorno. Del Piero shines all the more, as competition is stellar: Platini, Baggio...Need I say more?
I'll add that Maradona's case is VERY special. To me, he's the greatest football player ever, maybe ronaldinho will reach this status soon. Maradona was a pure number 10. Ronaldinho is the only player able to fill his shoes. Zidane & co simply cannot.

That's how I've always seen it too. It doesn't seem to fit 4-4-2 sensibly, but I imagine it made total sense in the old days.
10 is traditionally the deeper-playing forward, like Del Piero. Call that a playmaker if you like, but Paul is referring to attacking midfielders a la Zidane.
An elderly formation. What 4-4-2 means for us, W-M meant for old men. :biggrin:
