Nah, that's way too easy. You can clearly see from his play, that he is desperately looking for that 200th goal. His play and the team's play is suffering from it.

Hi there and welcome to Juventuz!
In response to your post:
When the next superstar comes along, I think it's important that we have the no. 10 jersey available. Del Piero has done extremely well for this club and he is a legend, without a doubt, but no one is big enough to have the no. 10 jersey retired in his honor. It would put this person above the club.
I understand your sentiments, though.. I know why you'd like to see it happen. But I just think it would be a silly thing to do in the long term, and I'm sure even Del Piero would agree with that. After all, he is someone who has always wanted the best for Juve.
A great club always aims to field a side with great defenders, great attackers and a marvellous no. 10!
We have been able to do that in more than just one era, something we should take a lot of pride from, and long may it continue!

i know that he is a legend in this club.But this club has great history and prestige in Italy and Europe, we can't just retire a jersey.
Before Alex the great Roberto Baggio wore that no.10, and Alex knew that and took that responsibilty and became a great player himself. Lets give another player that chance in the future.
Also we dont want to live in the past after Alex finishes his career, we will need to look to the future.

He definately did more, but like sateeh said: "We must look to the future". Living in the past can be harmful in many ways. This club was founded on the principle of excellence, being the very best, and if thoughts like "There will never be another Del Piero" manifest within the club I think we could be heading for some kind of a downfall. Juventus is all about breaking previous records and constantly improving, and the day we stop thinking we can achieve this will be the day of our decline.
