^^ it might be a bit early for that...I would stick to the same 4-2-3-1 and bring on Ale as soon as the game is reasonably safe

The 4-2-3-1 without Del Piero is working very well.
The 4-3-1-2 without Del Piero doesn't work.
I have no doubts that a 4-3-1-2 WITH Del Piero will sooner or later start working well, at least as well as the 4-2-3-1 without Ale.
Now, it might take some time, some 3-5 matches until the 4-3-1-2 with Ale starts working (Diego and Ale will need some time to gel). These 3-5 matches might mean more lost points and eventually missing out on the scudetto.
I'll take the risk. Many might lose the patience if we lose points with the 4-3-1-2, but i'll still take the risk and play the 4-3-1-2 with Diego and Ale.
I'd do it because it offers something that might prove huge in the CL and next year in Italy. After a long long looong time it will give us two equally deadly formations that we can use depending on the opponent, or sometimes even in the same match. The opponents won't know what to expect from us, as they did from 2004 till now.
Being able to use different formations and having the players for that was one of the reasons why Lippi and Italy won in 2006.
Capello couldn't do it, Ranieri couldn't do it. We were bad in Europe and suffered in Italy too with Ranieri.
If Ferrara can do it, then we can achieve big things. Taking a risk in order to achieve that, is a risk i'm willing to take.
And then again, there is a chance that the 4-3-1-2 with Ale, will start working instantly. In that case it's even better.

Who knows? maybe Alex will be used in 4-2-3-1 just like the 2002-03 season, when we reached the final of CL against Milan.
we were like this:
Tachinardi - Davids
Camoranesi - Del Piero - Nedved
Trezeguet
and this year:
Sissoko - Melo
Camoranesi - Diego/Del Pie - Del Pie/Giovinco
Trezeguet/Amauri

I don't know, I want him to play full match against Bordeaux, I wouldn't risk him playing against Udinese full match, and can he play another full match 3 days later when he was months away? I don't want to see what happened exactly with Diego to him, when we played Diego when he wasn't fit, and he struggled many matches for that.
I agree with snoop here, it is seemingly essential that Del Piero plays the enitre match against Bordeaux, del piero can hit a goal in at any time during any match no matter how well or bad he is playing at the time, however with players like Amauri if he's having a bad day and missed loads of chances you know he won't be scoring a goal.
