Am i the only one who thinks cassano will merely be a waste of time and precious cash?
He isnt a playmaker or a proper midfielder...we have a plethora of striking talent, inlcuding potnetial youngsters, a ageing club legend who will fight for his place...is there any point in wasting the big cash on him??

No, u are not the only one who think this way.
I still prefer to sign a skillful, creative playmaker and a quality back up of Cammo, who can dribble and make nice crosses...
Aimar & Figo?! They are both very good and are kinda star players. We will have more fans, especially in Asia!
Probably, we need a world class defender who can step in for thuram or canna if they get injured. Samuel is a good choice, as he is the only world class defender available in the market!!
Trust me guys, I tried the below formation in ps2 game winning eleven...it simply rules!!!
Not a bad idea except that at this point don't expect an Italian team to dish out much money for Del Piero.
Whereas once he had a GIANT price tag attached to his head those days are gone. The guy is over 30, inconsistent and gets 'shaken' mentality rather easy.
The only teams that COULD cough up a large chunk of change for Del Piero would be Milan and Inter. Neither team needs a player like Del Piero on their team right now.
Outside of Italy Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barca are probably the only teams that would purchase Del Piero at a high price but even they can't use him but more importantly would not buy him.
Probably get a better chunk of change for Nedved and in my opinion they could WIN without Nedved.
I think that Manchester United is still enamoured with Del Piero, and they have plenty of cash. Del Piero, who replaced Baggio at Juventus, is becoming the new Baggio again. A creative, talented goal scorer that the big clubs don't quite know how to use.
Why do we want to sell a player that we will not get a high bid for him, but is still valuable for the team, not only in terms of football, but also for the shirts he sells and the publicity he generates????
sad, but this is becoming another DP thread already.....

You do know that with the money of Zalayeta (who by the way is far from mediocre) and Oliveira who can't even aspire to buy Aimar, Pires or Figo...
And by the way, from the list that you put, the only player that we could get is Pires, and he is not comming.
Aimar = He is staying at Vlencia
Figo = He is going to Inter or Liverpool
And like Eagle said, please stop it with the Cassano intead of DP people... FGS!!
Figo and Pires won't be regular starters, but quality subs~
Moreover, they will give us more fans~ both handsome and have STAR image.
Aimar, we need a player like him to spark the creativity...he is skillful, fast and can score frequently...he looks cute and will get us more fans especially in Asia~~ he is really popular in Japan!!
Include moaner + traitor, Miccoli, in a swap deal!!
The only reason why Inter and Milan would want to buy Del Piero off us is to remove the incredible influence he has on the pitch.His performances don't always reflect it, but the statistics are more than convincing.
Without him, we often look lost and results suffer.And of course, he is the most decisive player in Serie A...
The ideal end of this transfer campaign could be to bring someone a little more regular than Zebina ( like Miguel) and swap Chimenti for Pagliuca.And were done.....

According to Channel 4 Del Piero's goals were the key reason for a win in eight matches, making him the most decisive player this season. They didn't even include assists, so the most crucial game of the season against Milan isn't even mentioned. In my opinion Del Piero was a key reason for our Scudetto.

Not necessarily negate his influence on our team, but to boost their own off field statistics.
Although i dont agree, with the latter paragraph, I would say results may suffer in Del Piero's absence, but not as much as they did earlier. And to be honest, i dont think we're lost when Dp's not around. Statistics dont lie, and Dp may just be the most decisive player in the Serie A. However, I dont see how its going to get any better from hereon in.
