I agree witht this post,but I also heard you saying the opposite also (I could be wrong thou).
anyway,we tried Del piero as a starter all these years,and he wasn't performing that good,no matter how many stats you show me the goals the ratings etc..
People were scared that Del piero Leave,I remember DP fans saying,he should stay, he will be a good sub,when Zlatan was performing great last year.but now you all complain why he isn't playing.I said this before,would you prefer to start with a player who had a great career behind andnow is 31,and wasn't performing good the past years?or you would start with a player,23 year old,that has a great future waiting for him?and he has great talents?If you say the first,that will be not professional choice,because Zlatan will never accept to be a sub,and will leave soon,many clubs waiting the opportunity to sign him,just like Trezeguet didn't accept to be a sub of Pippo.he wouldn't also.If you chose the second option,that's professional, we just can't start with a player,because he has a big name,and a big career behind him,that's very amateur,this is a big club,no player is bigger than this club.
