As I said before, look for a player who looks for the goal, not the ball. We don't need 3 good SS and no reliable scorers.
We need someone who knows how to position himself in order to score goals, who can run off the ball, get the easy goals, who can head in a cross when Isla, Armero hit them, who can run in the right time when Pirlo hits one of his passes, who doesn't run after the balls that Vucinic/Giovinco go after and most importantly who doesn't need waste plenty of opportunities before scoring 1.

Alex became the consistent goal scoring threat when he was 27 years old.
And before anyone thinks that I am even remotely trying to downplay the career of my 2nd favorite footballer of all time, let me just state this.
From the time of 2001-2008, Alex scored in double digits in every single season that year in Serie A except for one. Prior to that, the last year that he scored in double digits was the 97-98 season, when arguments could be made that he was one of the top 3 players on the planet.
Alex was 23 years old when that season was 2 months old.
It's very easy to say that JoJo doesn't have the finishing skills that Del Piero had when you have a whole body of work to look at from del Piero's point of view.
However, what you can look at is that both of them had success in Europe on an individual level very early on in their careers.
There are more parallels between these two players than people want to give credit for.

You're right, and I feel like I've been repeating myself rather excessively about this. We've had a season under Conte and we've learned that the team creates a lot of chances and our top scorer turned out to be a centre forward that scored 10 goals. And he had a habit of missing some easy chances.
Juventus haven't even replaced Trezeguet yet, it's been two years ffs. Put some effort in, Beppe.

Here is something else to consider, and I don't think this can be overstated.
You have to look at it as not only a move for on the pitch, but for off the pitch as well.
think about this.
When these teams are brought up, who is the first player that immediately comes to mind to not only the most ardent of football fans, but even the casual ones as well.
barcelona
Real madrid
Milan (Now PSG)
Man City
Man United
Arsenal
9 times out of 10, the answer is going to be Messi, Ronaldo, Ibra, Aguero/Tevez, rooney, and Van persie.
In fact, for Juve, you have to go back to the days of Platini when a forward was not the names on the lips of football supporters when talking about Juventus.
It's always the forwards who are the face of a club, the bandiera, the shirt seller.
I don't think that this aspect has not crossed the minds of everyone involved at juventus from a financial perspective
