Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (220 Viewers)

I think he's got a point about Ibra. Though we can't know for sure. Ibrahimovic hasn't been much better than Del Piero this season, yet we want to get rid of Del Piero and build a team around Ibra? Doesn't sound logically to me.

Seven Zlatan was not better than DP? Oh please. If you don't believe me or the other fans who say that at least believe the journalists who all gave him a better season rating than they did to DP. I actually had saved the stats somewhere and will bring them forth if you guys want

I said Zlatan was better. He just wasn't better by a mile.
Del Piero was one of the most influential players around the whole 12 years he has played with Juventus including this past one. There aren't many players out there who can be as influential for a long period of time.
I agree there are games where he played carp.. But remember he is human. When he comes from an injury you don't just expect him to play 100%. He has to play alot to gain back him performance and touch to the ball. Just look at nedved. He was injured and when he came back eh played few games in a very crappy performance. After that, he regained back his performance.
The only two seasons that Del Piero couldn't be helpful for Juventus are:
1998-1999: when he had that damned injury which finished his season
2003-2004: When he had a series of injuries which stopped him from playing.
Looking at it: those two seasons Juventus didn't manage to win anything. I am not saying that Juventus are only Del Piero. Not at all, we have a team of champions and Del Piero is surely one of the top champions we have.
It is good that we get younger players to build our future but we shouldn't neglaect the older players who are currently are playing well. Those young players should learn from the older players.

Girl, you really need help with this one.
Del Piero makes Beckham consistent? Perhaps in your Manure-Roma gloryhunting wonderland. I doubt you have seen Beckham in Madrid, and if you have you wouldn't have made such a claim, sparing yourself the embarrasment that every other misinformed person has to endur. Beckham, apart from a few good performances in the past two years, has been quite disapointing if you ask any sane Madrid supporter. He really has not added anything to the team apart from some good freekicks, something they did not even need with Figo and Zidane in the team. Then if you look at his performances as a whole throughout the past two seasons you will be left wondering what happened to him since moving to Madrid, cuz as one Spaniard put it frank "there are 10,000 better players than Beckham." That is stating the truth, and it's much more believable than the crap you posted above.
The fact is Del Piero has had a good season this year and was the most decisive player in Serie A, something that can be interpreted in two different ways but still illustrates that he's really not as inconsistent as you make him out to be. Another fact for you- Del Piero is the captain of Juventus and is the epitomy of class when it comes to behavior and professionalism, unlike Totti who could use some lessons from Ale. Despite what you think, everybody can see Del Piero is a true professional, therefore it's a fact....if you want FACTS.
Sheesh, I can't stand fans of other clubs bashing our captain......especially when they have no clue what they're talking about.
