Agnelli wouldn't try to force Del Piero out, he just messed up by revealing it. That should have been Alex's right. He's only on €1m per season so it makes little odds whether he stays or not from that perspective. Alex himself won't moan because he is a top man, but he has to play at 37. He has also said more than once in the past that he would be happy to play abroad one day, including to MLS.
Montreal purveyed an offer to him like 2 weeks ago

I can't wait til he comes here :weee:

He said he wants to play 4 more years until the age of 40. That was last year.

So how can we know if Ale really decided that this is his last year? What if he had in mind to play one last time in CL or be part of it?

Agnelli didn't mess up everything, he did it on purpose. If you mess up something you don't go on insisting that this is Ale's last year, and like Del Piero said couple of weeks after Agnelli's idiotic conference "That's not how things work".

Del Piero is forced out. Simple as that.

If we win the scudetto I think he's 100% going to leave, with a big 3 star celebration.
If it were up to me..I'd find the fountain of youth and health and give it to Del Piero so he could stay and play for us for ever! However that will never happen...since he has to leave eventually I want to see him leave with a scudetto. That's the very least we could do for him, saying arrivaderci with our first tittle since Morratipoli.

In your opinion. He also said he would like to play in LA last year. Agnelli gains nothing from forcing Del Piero out.

Love is blind, Mr Azzurri7.

That's not clever, unless you can provide an example as to where Agnelli benefits from forcing out the ultimate legend of a club, who doesn't cause trouble and is on a low salary. In this case he would not only not benefit, but would suffer from Del Piero's hardcore supporters, such as yourself.

For the same reason Milan don't want Paolo Maldini in their management according to Paolo himself.

Some patrons feel inferior to club legends and symbol. I wouldn't be surprised if Totti face the same dilemma. Del Piero didn't say "That's not how things should be done" for nothing. When you take such a decision on behalf of player and not any player but Del Piero then this what you should call "not clever".

Ale obviously does not want to leave. It was/is andrea's decision and i dont think anyone can come up with an acceptable answer for why he wants Del Piero gone.

Seems too ambiguous to say such definite things. Of course Alex doesn't want to leave, as Juve is his club, but equally he wants to play and has always been open to the possibility of playing elsewhere at the end of his career.

Havent seen Ale complain on being left out this season. There is absolutely no way he would want to leave because he is not getting playing time.

Sure he is open to the possibility of playing somewhere else but if given a choice to play another couple of seasons with juve and end his carrer here and he won't look elsewhere. Or maybe he will, but give him a contract to play another couple of seasons and he wont say no, there is no denying that fact. He/we knows he will own MLS or arab or Japan at 45.

I don't agree, certainly not enough to say 'absolutely no way', you have nothing to back such a definite claim up. He's in the twilight of his career and the option to experience something abroad in contrast to sit on the bench at Juve is something that anybody would consider.

You're doing just the same, saying Ale wants to leave when there was no sign for any of this.

What if he wants to play next year abroad and not this year?

I didn't say he wants to leave, I'm not talking in definitive terms, that's the difference.

Still, my initial point was that Agnelli deserves criticism for both his timing and making a statement that Alex should have been afforded, but not necessarily for 'forcing Del Piero out'. Which to me still seems ridiculous.

I feel delpiero would want to feature in this juventus team especially it is back on the rise and a CL presence once more would satisfy his appetite for success.
