No, it could even be a +rep.

The rep box is grey when they person who +/- reps you doesn't have more than +10 rep points.
So even if someone with negative reputation or with less than 10 rep points gives you a +rep, you won't get any pts for that and you get a grey box.
Thanks Alen.

Personally, I don't mind the Diego should start over Del Piero. I mind the Del Piero shouldn't play because he's old.
There is some undeserved bash towards Del Piero, I agree. But on the other hand the way some defend Del Piero is rather silly.

Personally I think we play much faster and we're making much more threat when we have Diego. But that's far from "let's bench him always" or "he should retire". Del Piero will again save our ass many times this season but it's time for him to play less.

Low post count is usually = not enough +rep points = gray box

Low post count but enough +rep points = green box or red box.

Use your head the next time :evil:
But not necessarily, smartass. :D

Yes, but what I mean is that it doesn't bother me right now that some want Diego over Del Piero(so long they're not insulting or bashing him). But I do mind limited people trying to convince us how a 36years old player shouldn't play saying he slows down the play according to them.

Now if Del Piero deserves a starting place later on or vice-versa is another thing. Lets hope the best formation is always fielded.
I understand the love for Del Piero (which is a bit creepy to be honest), but I have not insulted any of you, so I ask for the same in return. Yes, I believe Del Piero should retire, if only because IN MY OPINION he's on a great decline and I'd rather him retire as a legend rather than as a liability.

His play was frustrating and during most matches his skills were not there anymore last year and I'm not optimistic he'll improve but like I said, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.


Or finished.

When he is still our biggest attacking threat.
Honestly, I understand the fandom, but how in any way was he our biggest attacking threat when he gets dispossessed so easily and has no pace? His positioning is still good but that's only when we already have the ball up the pitch, counter attacks are difficult to pull off when he's involved because he's just so slow, I honestly don't see it.

I saw the Ajax game last year, it was a good performance but that doesn't cancel out the terrible year he had. And again, I don't ask you to agree with me, but I ask you not to insult me. It's not too much to ask is it?
With your rational, all players who played last season should NOT play for us any more.

Those two don't necessarily exclude each other, but it does say that we need to fix something else in attack before we replace Del Piero.
Since I still have hopes for Amauri and Vlatko will kill me I don't have big hopes for Trez anymore, nor Iaquinta, I'd rather we do something there first.

:touched: After the bernabeu, here's another two of Ale's best performances over the last 3 years:

geez, thanks for reminding me of those :heart:

in my eyes he still is the biggest threat to any defence...he and diego are the only ones who can do magic..creeate sth when things go terrible

No he wasn't our best player.

We never had good players last season.
he was the best forward we had.

Not necessarily, I mean, most of the ones that played badly had bad form or questionable tactical placement, but in Del Piero's case it was pace that failed him, I think that's the main difference, once you lose a minimum amount of pace it's tough to get over opponents and keep possession of the ball.

Del Piero Style said:
Go to the previous page, watch the two videos i posted and think...
This is what I object to. To imply that I do not think simply because I'm not a huge fan of the present Del Piero.

Anyway, let's agree to disagree. I don't think Del Piero has been anything particularly special outside of a few goals the last 3 years but that's the last thing I'll say on this subject, some people are not mature enough to handle this without -repping me and calling names.

Ah, so all our players played bad because they were in a bad form except for Del Piero because it was the pace?

Can I call you the perfect Analyzer?
