I'm going to speak for myself, as I am in no position to speak for anyone else.
Here is what concerns me.
Its obvious that his retirement is inevitable, there is no disputing that. Whether it is this year, or he holds out until the new stadium is complete, it appears that our Captain is now "on the back nine".
I just don't want him going out being a shell of what he used to be. And I'm not talking the Del Piero of 10 years ago, I'm talking the Del Piero of the past couple of seasons.
It would make me very happy to see him out there, but it would hurt really badly if he is no longer the player that he was even 12 months ago.
I don't want to see him out there being 2 steps behind everyone else, and in constant frustration. If he's going to go out, let it be with him near the top of his game.
And I only hope that he realizes that if he can't be the player that he is accustomed to being, then it is time to walk away. There's nothing more disheartening than seeing someone you've followed all these years being reduced to that.
