TBH, I'm not sure Camo has more assists than Zlatan, but it doesnt matter. Fact is that he is selfish, but not as selfish as you would like us to think. How many times has he passed the ball to Nedved, Del Piero, Zalayeta, Treuzeguet... for them to score? He is selfish, but nowhere near Ronaldo.
In the other thread you said you wouldnt give 1/2 Del Piero for 3 Zlatans. So you wouldnt give half of a 30 year old player for 3 23 year old ones?
Everyone is replacable in Juve, even Del Piero, even Zlatan even Buffon. In the end, the players don't matter as much as the club.
Sorry kthx but that is just too biased for my liking. If we are discussing player performances in totality throughout the year we must consider absolutely everything that players do and what their roles are at the club. Apart from some very good performances and a lot of winning goals Del Piero has been poor compared to other seasons and compared to what Zlatan has given to the team this year. The latter has been more involved with the matches and given us the tool of creating space with his ability to hold the ball up under the pressure of two defenders. Zlatan has actually been a must with the tactics we had this season.
And enough of this nonsense about Zlatan being the "most selfish player along with Ronaldo." If he was so selfish why does he have over 9 assists this season? That crap is just another worthless argument by Zlatan detratcors around here.

Andy, this wasn't the least bit biased and I'll show you how.
I did not say that Alex was our best player this season and I didn't say it was his best season ever, no ... nothing of the sort. My point was to show whichever Del Piero basher said they were the ones stating facts that their entire arguments were based on opinions. Were the numbers and statements I gave facts? Yes. Were their arguments opinions that could very easily vary from one individual to another? Yes.
What I said had nothing to with comparing Alex to Zlatan.
I believe Alex struggled this season, and he was a genius to be able to score such important goals to cover for his struggling. And I contribute this struggling to Capello's tactics, or lack thereof in many matches. There was just no creativity in our team. I also relate that to Nedved's lack of form and injuries. It's of no surprise to me that Juventus started playing much better-looking football when Nedved started putting in some good performances towards the end of the season.
Why'd you leave XT by the way, man? Used to enjoy your posts there. Come back

Very true. The majority of the arguments here get us nowhere.
Instead of being united in the celebration of Juve's scudetto, we're here discussing the-ever-so-controversial Alessandro Del Piero. It's sad really, but as long as people unjustly criticize him for pretty much everything, such debate will continue.

Those are indeed all facts, however I thought you were hinting at something else....my fault. But stating that Zlatan had a better season than Del Piero is more than just simply an opinion, I have to say.
As for the tactical explanation for Del Piero's performances I can certainly accept that, and this is part of my reasoning behind Del Piero being substituted frequently during the season. Like I stated earlier in some other thread Capello needed to subsititute Del Piero because of our tactics, which seemingly consisted of long balls forward in the final minutes of the match. As you know Del Piero struggles with high balls with his back towards goal, so Capello brought in a more able player to handle the late match "tactics," usually Zalayeta.
I didn't leave per se, I was banned. Or perhaps I did leave and wanted to get banned. I don't know.
Perhaps I will come back sometime later on....right now I don't have much time during ths summer. We shall see. All I have to say is read up on your Greek Mythology.
