With the current season coming to an end, and the mercato on the horizon, i would like to talk about what will be the future of our current strikers. Ill give my personal input and see what are ur personal opinions on the matter.
One thing is sure, the upcoming mercato will be decisive for our ambitions if we want to step up in quality and some decitions have to be made.
Lets take a look a our forwards: Del Piero, Matri, Quagliarella, Vucinic and Borrielo.
Del Piero: I admit that im being a blind fan and delusional, but i want him to stay. Not only for what he means to all of us, but for what he adds to our game too. It has been proven this season that when DP is used after 45 mins or so, he has proved to be decisive and has changed our attacking display completely in most of the cases. The first game he played fully, which was a coppa italia game, he performed fantastically. His last achievement was that first touch assist to quagliarella in the napoli game. He is still our most talented striker, at the age of 37, and his only limitant is his ageing body which we dont know when will definitely hamper him.
In the DP case, we cannot even talk about him being a negative influence on the team. Unlike previous seasons (the capello era specifically), Del piero has been totally silent about his constant benching and has responded with goals and assists when called upon.
Verditc: The only thing we know as of now... is that Del piero is going out in the end of the season unless something happens.
Matri:Our most prolific striker this season and he just signed a new contract until 2017. While he is no Trezeguet, this guy has been our most constant goal income on the season. Lately, his form has been affected physically and mentally. Some of the opinion against him is that his lack of ball control affects our team too much. Personally, i think he is an OK striker. Not WC, but can definitely contribute to the team when given the chance.
Im not into contractual matters, and i dont know if he can be sold in the mercato, but for now, it seems eh is staying with us.
VerdictÇ: it seems he will stay.
Quagliarella: A player who started a promising career with us but was devastated by an injury which he is still trying to let past. In my opinion this guy is a complete striker. He can pass he can dribble he can score headers and has a wonderful shot outside the box. He has been limited by injuries this season and the playing time he has received seems to be not enough for him to get into form. His last show against Napoli suggested that he just needs more minutes to show his worth, but sgtill, like del piero his future is on the stake.
Verdict: IMO i would like him to stay and be awarded with a full season to judge, but still his position is an enigma.
Vucinic: Our current mobile striker and first choice of Conte. This guy right here, is the key factor in our mercato in my view. Why?. Ok first ill tell what i think about him. He is a good player who can create yes, but IMO his lack of scoring instinct and his lack of consistancy is what detriment his gameplay.
He was brought here in the summer after we failed to sign the WC striker we were desperately looking for. he is not bad but im not convinced if he is what this team really needs. I think that an on form pairing of Matri and Quags can be more useful than using vucinic. Has been Conte´s number one option.... but not because his own merit, but because his competition has been an ageing del piero and an injured quags.
I personally think that if we sell him and get a more talented WC striker, we will much better.
Verdict: future unknown.
Borrielo: His sole presence on the team has hampered Matri´s and quags chances to perform. IMO it was very unwise to bring him here, after all the prolems he had in the past with his previous teams. Conte´s new favored striker, Borri has done few to warrant an starting place in the Juventus team. He has "amauri " written all over him. A player who lacks composure, decition making and skill...and on top of it, is unlucky. From all the forwards, my sincere opinion is that borrielo is the only one who definitely needs to leave to make room for a much better option.
Verdict: No place for him at Juve.
So, this is it. Our current strikers and my view on them.
I would like to know ur opinion on the matter, who you think should stay or leave...and who you think can come to replace who.
