I disagree. Del Piero has been inconsistent this season, but despite playing much less than Zlatan because of injuries and Capello he is still our topscorer.

Del Piero's scored twice the number of goals Zalayeta has this season.Alessandro scores crucial goals too,without them we'd be at least 5 points adrift of Milan right now.
I agree with both of u in terms of scoring crucial goals, and how DP's goal crashed Bayern in the CL and being the top scorer. Right now his present form is still ok to me. But u guys have to admit that Del Piero has quite a inconsistent form at the start of the season and he would be game over at the start of next season I'm afraid.
But 1 must not forget about Zalayeta's contribution to the team as a 4th striker as well. At times when he comes on the pitch only 2 minutes or even 90 minutes, he scores. Sometimes DP is benched becos of him as well. But compared to the total minutes played by both players, I have to say that Zala > DP.
I think that DP's fate might be the same as Zalayeta's.
