Before I type this post: My disclaimer
I don't hate Del Piero, but I'm tired of the blind defending of Del Piero. Just because he's our captain and a Juve icon is not sufficient grounds for paying him millions to be injured and put in mediocre performances.

There are some clear reasons why juve bosses have maintained Del Piero in the team, despite is multiple injuries:
* he is one of the most precise and versatile players in Italy and the world
What exactly does precise mean? If you're talking about his ability to sprint at precisely 1km/h or dribble the ball precisely into defenders' feet, I agree

*he has developed, togheter with the juve society a strong feeling of representativity
I agree with you there, but I'd rather have a strong, consistent attacker than a strong feeling of representativity

+ he is an intelligent man with a sense of leadership
See above.

able to work for juve once he leaves the field.
Maybe that's what he should do...

i think he has "love for the shirt". Dont you?
Again, I'd rather have a brilliant, effective attacker than a gentleman who loves Juventus.

no way for rid Del piero ..
although he dosen't play well this season but there are many players have not give Bianconeri any thing .. Like Appiah , Iuliano , Legrottaglie , Thuram . why you didn't think about rid these players ?
We did think of getting rid of Iuliano, but come on, Appiah and Legro are in their first season and you can't blame Thuram for not playing well this season; our whole team is playing shite. Plus DP's the only one of those players who can get us enough cash to rebuild a whole squad

Juventus without our Hero nothing .. his heart is JUVENTUS .
That's rubbish, Juventus can and will succeed without Del Piero. I'm sick of hearing Del Piero is Juventus and Juventus is Del Piero. No player is or ever will be bigger than the team
