Well, if we were being honest, Del Piero hasnt been much better in buildup play, which is his job, while it isnt Trez's. You need a strong, tall poacher like Trez, and I agree that it can be a technically gifted player like Adriano but those arent easy to find, so for now I'm content with Trez.

Pardon but let me be the one who ask this time.....

R u statisfied with his working rate during matches???

actually yes....in fact i rate his workrate better than zlatan and del piero..his level of concentration...dont just see what the tv want u to see...try to focus on what trezeguet do in every situations..where treseguet is when camo have the ball on the right..what do he do to make it easier for nedved to pass to him...thats how he always become Juve's top scorer...thats how u rate david trezeguet....

u cant just compare what david trezeguet do with juve what other strikers do with others teams..it not the same dimention...but what u can compare though is the end product..the goals...Trezeguet is one the most efficient strikes in europe...a guaranteeed goal getter..the goals are cold hard facts....any other things are just subjective..

We go over this subject so many times its ridiculous. Trezeguet's job is to score goals and hold up the ball for the rest of the attackers to come up the field; that is what you call a targetman. He is not the player to come back and help the midfield with buildup a la Del Piero, he instead focuses on play around the opposition box. That in part is what makes him one of the worlds deadliest finishers. What we lose with his inability to create chances we gain from his adept ability to be in the right place at the right time and score goals. He is a world class goal-mouth predator.

With the tactics we play with it is imperative to have a striker who is tall and can finish off chances within the box at a consistent rate. Since we play a straight 4-4-2 most of the chances stem from play on the sides and the wings, usually turning into crosses played into the box. Since most of the chances come from crosses we must have a striker in there that can hold his position against the opposing defenders and finish off air balls and half-chance passes. This is one of the reasons why Capello favors Trezeguet to Del Piero, simply because we need tall, strong forwards to be commanding in the opposition box and scores goals. Trezeguet is perfect for this role.

Can you honestly say that Del Piero in the years 2001-2003 (since you've said it was his best years) that he was better then any other player Juve could of brought, was he one of the best in the world, and the kind of player who would of made Juve 1/2 the team (attacking-wise) that they were if he was to get injured? I dont think so!
Actually, I think you could say that, yes.

Get your facts straight, I never said anything of the sort. I have always maintained that DP has been off form since 2003, and that the form he lost was not even near the pre-1998 form.
Come on, Andy, there's no need to lie about things like this. You've always said Del Piero has been worthless over the past five years.

Again, you are trying to make up crap Seven. Just jog on.

Yea, seriously, I have known Andy for at least six years, and in the first 4.5 years he had nothing but good to say about DP. It was only over the past year about that his views changed, and rightly so, he IS worthless, and he IS out of form.

Anything said to the contrary is just a bold-faced lie.

Yes, because they have no quality up front with Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Saviola, not to mention Larsson :rolleyes:
Don't underestimate Del Piero's maestria, he could be very useful and would probably be stellar there...
