Zlatan doesn't have to be closest to the box, as he does like to drift outside to the flank to take on defenders. We need one targetman in the box at all times during an attack, and Trezeguet will most likely be that man. I mean he's still our most lethal finisher, and with the trident attack he will be getting more service than usual.
I said it?Alex was an important player for Juve last season.ppl bash Ale because of the number of his injuries but you don't judge Trez because he was injured?Alex was BETTER than Trez(an injured one..yes)and only the most inform players should play.Ale?Trez?Zlatan?Cassano?Zalayeta?I don't care.only the best ones.
you've been emotional my brother.. i never judge alex because of his injury.. instead, i waited for 7 frigging years to see him like he was (1998). but that doesnt seem to come... but that's ok.. i appreciate for what he's done to juve... he's the icon, yes... but with his high wage and below par performances, it will undermine juve if he's still in the starting line and and still cannot perform.. and worse, some think that he shouldnt be benched... so what is the use of rotational system and backups if it cannot be used...come on, you people shoud built a club name FC Del Piero..

Diego Armando Maradona visited Roma’s training ground yesterday and reveals he had some advice for the fiery Antonio Cassano.
“I have always been very impressed with Cassano,” said ‘El Pibe de Oro’ as he left the Trigoria complex. “From a very young age you could clearly see he was a quality player.”
Maradona flew in to the Peninsula for Ciro Ferrara’s testimonial at the Stadio San Paolo, but stopped off in Rome for a visit to old friend Bruno Conti.
Francesco Totti also met with the legend and confessed, “My legs were shaking when he walked in. It was an incredible feeling.”
But the ex-Napoli hero only had eyes for Cassano and was given a tour of the facilities by the young Italian international with the notoriously fiery temper.
“He has to understand his own path,” revealed Maradona after counselling Cassano. “Above all, he must realise the importance of mutual respect within a team. It’s key to be respected by the group and this is what I spoke to him about.”
Cassano is expected to leave Roma this summer, as he only has one year left on his contract and renegotiations are not going well. The arrival of Monaco’s Shabani Nonda on a free transfer also suggests he will be pushed out.
Juventus and Inter are battling for the ex-Bari boy’s signature and it’s reported the Bianconeri have offered £10m plus the loan of Adrian Mutu. The San Siro giants are said to have countered with a joint £20m bid for both Cassano and teammate Amantino Mancini

A number of us DP fans know that Alex will never regain the form that made him one of the world's best in 1998 but that doesn't mean that he's completely useless. He has made telling contributions in Juve's last three Scudetti which all came after his injury and his salary is hardly a problem considering his marketability and how much his sponsorship deals bring in. Just last week we got 3m for going on tour to Japan, thanks mainly to Del Piero. He's more valuable on and off the pitch than many give him credit for.
