I'm generally against retiring numbers but it's different when it's about Alex. No player can ever come close to him and his status, no player would ever mean much to the team and the fans, he's an exception, his number must be retired when he retires.

But of course our sorry board won't do that. Imagining Rossi with the #10 jersey :yuck:

raz, no offense but seems like you havent been following juve since the the baggio-alex days. not making this discussion about who is a bigger fan and all but you have to realise there are some people who grew up watching ale destroy the world with juve.

so you should probably stop trying so hard to make whatever point you are trying to and just accept the plain simple fact that ale is a big part of juve and that juve wont be the same without him. the club itself accepts this fact and so does each and every professional player. you just come off as one of those who desperately carve attention or a one who knows shit about juve history.

No we shouldn't. And I guarentee Del Piero would not want that. Only number ten can produce something close to DP for the club in the future why would you anyone want to take it way?
there will never be anyone like him ever again, the man has shattered every club record in existence.

that is the least we can do for our greatest ever player.

one more year extention, then a statue and retired no. 10, then a curva name, then he as an onorific president if he doesn't want to coach, then his name for the name of the stadium after his passing and it will not be enough for what he did for this club

I know older Juventini who holds Scirea in higher status.
i know juventini (you) who are balotelli fans, i know juventini who put padovano as the greatest juve player your point?

I started watching Juve when Moller came here, and i have stayed with Juve because of Del Piero so I'm quite old fan with regards to DP since I have been from almost the beggining of his career with the team.

And I have never said that DP is not a big part or whatever. He is the biggest part of Juve I have seen and will stay for long time as the biggest legend of the club. But suggesting he is equal to club is nonsense. Suggesting retiring #10 is nonsense too. Our club has produced many legends and will produce many more after him, I bet 20 years from now new generation will think their legend is the biggest. The club never retired numbers because it is the institution that makes these players legends, that it gives them a chance to shine and become fan favorite, and to take away the magic #10 imo is inconsiderate and just plain stupid.

I'm really happy that we such people running the club who keep the tradition to not retire jerseys.

Name a stadum, build a statute, construct a fucking theme park, or give one curva to DP, like Scirea has.

As did the guys before him. Look I'm not saying he's not the greatest. He even is statisticly now. But the thing is that every generation has its own legend which they say is the best. So i'm quite sure after 20 or so years there will be a new legend with the same impact as DP has today, or others had before him. At least I hope Juve will have others legendary players after him.

It will be too much and would be very disrespectfull to legends that came before him.

That it's subjective I think. Though Now DP is statisticaly biggest Juve player. But I'm sure that will be broken some day and people who are this generation will never agree that that new player will be bigger then DP was.

Lol, are you suffering from a mental disease? You ask Salvatore someone from history who would even come close to Ale and I point you towards one and you say what's my point?

You better learn some history about Juventus, smartass. Scirea isn't any Padovano. He is one of the greatest players on & off the pitch in the history of Juventus.

Statistics? you wanna rank just legend by their stats? that's just pathetic. apart from the huge stats that ale has, look at all the things he has done for juve apart from those stats

You don't have to be more than 16 to know about Scirea. I hear stories about him from my uncles all the time. In fact, I told them that it's a shame the next generations won't witness Del Piero, they said that it's a shame my generation never got to witness Gaetano Scirea.

And my bad, I shoud have written "He is considered one of the greatest players on & off the pitch in the history of Juventus."

"When Juventus won the Scudetto in 1975, Scirea made a rare exception by going out all night with the lads. He got home at 6 a.m. and - still giddy with excitement - he popped out to get a paper commemorating the Bianconeri’s victory. But as he walked out the door, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. The newsagent was next to a tram stop, which took workers to Fiat’s factories.

“I was ashamed of being seen dressed up for a night out at that time in the morning when people were going to work,” he said. Scirea turned around and decided to go without the paper.

Such a gesture is rare in the modern game – nowadays a misguided sense of entitlement is more common among footballers than empathy, let alone humility. Asked to reveal what he missed most about his former team-mate, Zoff would reply: “The silence in this world full of noise."

Learn to read. I said that it's subjective who you think is the biggest legend. While DP now is statisticly the biggest legend in Juventus.
