dont go to Sion Ale, sounds too much like Zion.

I still hope he retires and becomes one of our directors like Nedved. Those two again working together would be great.

I would not like that. He has plenty of time of being Juve's director,Ale's place is on the field and I would love to see him playing for at least a couple of years. (even if he plays elsewhere.)

He was the best free kick taker.

Maybe the swiss option isn't that bad...

He'll be only 130 km away from Turin. Maybe he can drop by sometimes. I would like to see him on the stadium.

 

[Del Piero Style]

I was just joking, it's a terrible option. I hope Malaga will qualify to the CL tonight. They'll get enough money to sign Ale. Who knows...

 

[Alen]

He'd not accept Sion if other teams were offering him options.

I think the problem comes down to guaranteed playing time. I think he's asking for it and teams from big leagues can't offer him that. Otherwise I see no reason not to go for this gold mine that is Del Piero. Free agent with low wages, who'll be selling thousands or millions of jerseys.

He is Gold. And he's so good. How come he can't find a team in the big leagues? I don't get it.

 

[I am John]

He's old, probably most teams dont want to gamble on him.

Teams from the big leagues obviously won't offer him that. But, if what we read is true, there's barely any interest from (for example) American teams as well.

I don't get that.

 

[Del Piero Style]

Fucking idiots. Teams pay 20-30M on shitty players and won't pay less than 1M for Ale.

I'm not really familiar with the MLS. I don't know the teams from the east coast and how they operate. If there is real interest I'd expect it to come from there, since he'll have huge popularity with the Italo-Americans.
The other MLS teams would go for a veteran if he's famous from the popular EPL, not some guy from Serie A that they never heard of, even if his name is Del Piero.

I don't think it's possible that someone who is into football (even soccer) doesn't know who Del Piero is. He's just one of those stars with truly universal fame.

No, what I meant is that the public in the US won't be attracted by Del Piero, unless they are of Italian heritage. Beckham was a pretty face from the EPL, Henry was from the EPL. The majority of the small number of football followers in the States are EPL followers, I guess. The Latinos would be attracted by La Liga players and a serie A stars would attract a crowd only among the Italo-Americans.
Just a logical assumption, which might not be true at all, I guess.
