If only Ciro gives some faith to Seba, then just then we'll have our 10-years-ago-Alex back :cry:
Are you implying that Seba is as good as Del Piero?

I wish that were true. I know that the company line is going to be "Well, he hasn't had sufficient playing time"

well, neither did Alex when he first burst upon the scene, but young Alex was pure magic the moment he first stepped onto the pitch in a Juve kit. Absolute magic.

that's true, but seeing Ale's performances since WC 2006, one can always be optimistic

Of course you can be optimistic, but you have to throw a dash of realism into your recipe for Del Piero success.

The bottom line is the team needs him. Its prety obvious. You can't have a 4-3-1-2 formation when neither Amauri or Iaquinta have the skills to be a support striker.

Only Del Piero has that right now. Giovinco seems to have found a home (I hope) playing on the wing in a 4-2-3-1.


Not to bring up this guy's name again, but one of the reasons why I wanted Giuseppe Rossi here was because he can play the role of a support striker, he has the characteristics for it. He would have been the perfect understudy to Alex.

Right now, the strikers are too identical in what they can do and cannot do. It was blatantly obvious when Iaquinta and Amauri were paired together. Either they were playing too far wide from each other to make an impact,or they were getting in each other's way.

But you can't place the blame totally on their shoulders. They are being asked to do what the coach wants them to do. Problem is, one, or both, cannot do what alex does inthat formation

Please don't tell me Giovinco or anyone else can replace Alex

Personally I like Gio on the wings coz he's got great skills for assists, but not much good at finishing, I also would like Cassano as a DP sub and successor

No two players will ever replace each other. We just have to find someone who will make an impact like Del Piero.

And Cassano is never a sub for any team in the league.

Man, I'm already bored of hearing people speak about how sad they'll be when Del Piero retires.

I love the guy, but life goes on.

Man up or just kill yourselves now.

I'm just saying.

The last thing that youwould want to have happen to you is if people actually take your advice and off themselves, and the incriminating evidence is right there,for all the world to see.

especially if the people who are quoting you end up geting pissed off by you in the future, and would love to see your downfall
