I am not so sure that Trez will be our fourth choice striker come the start of next season. The two players we have in attack whose usefulness is more GOALS than CREATIVITY are Trez and Iaquinta. Vincenzo is a handful for all but the most robust defenders, but his finishing is not of the standard of the frenchman. he has unwavering heart, drive, determination and admirable strength. However, Trezeguet is pure class when it comes to scoring goals, against all levels of opposition. While Iaquinta muscles his way into goal scoring opportunities, Trezeguet ghosts into them, often completely unmarked.
I can only assume he wasn't given a start by Ciro at the end of last season because he had zero match sharpness, whereas Vincenzo was ready and rolling. Those last two games were incredibly important to both club and coach, as we all know, so it made sense to go with the sharpest players.
The optimum mix up front, is creativity, pace, goal scoring, strength in the air, positiong...Trezeguet gives us an extremely high quality dose of Goal Scoring, Strength in the air, and positioning...Del Piero is probably still the best bet for creativity, but Giovinco has shown that he could steal that crown, not years into the future, but perhaps this season, if he is given the chance. I love the idea of a Giovinco/ Trez partnership...
It seems Trez is staying put, and of that I am glad. If Acquafresca is indeed coming in, then someone else is leaving, and I can only assume that would be Amauri, who did not impress me much last season. Yes he is good on the ball, decent in the air, but not particularly strong, or blessed with typical brazillian flair, or and out and out goal scorer...so what does he bring????? He is the 4th choice striker as far as I am concerned.
Who knows, perhaps he could show far more, with far better service, which he failed to receive last season...Its possible.
However, if someone is to leave, it should be Amauri.
Then by all means, bring in the youngster.
But I stick to my suggestion, that Giovinco and Trezeguet would give us the strongest mix of Goal Scoring, Positioning, Strength in the air, Pace and Creativity.
