Sadly though someone is going to be have to be sacrificed. Unfortunately, I havent seen much of Toni, but if you're saying he's as good as he is, and given that barring injuries, Totti, Cassano and Vieri are almost certainties on the flight to Germany. Who is Lippi going to have to leave out between Gilardino, Toni, Del Piero, Lucarelli, Montella (whose also been consistently exceptional last season), Iaquinta and DiMichele? Surely, both Gila and Toni wont go through because of their similar characteristics to Vieri's. And then there's Lippi's love for Del Piero to contend with. Quite a selection headache I'll say.
