I don't think that would work out. Camoranesi cannot hold the ball for as long as he likes to in the middle of the pitch. Just would not work out.

yes,good supporters who see beyond winning and decieving scorelines.

It seems that not only you dont like the way we are playing, but have a more profound problem with our team, bullshiting results and trophies that has been won with lots of effort and, yes, also nice football.
Frankly, you dont sound like a juve lover...go support Lecce.
Alex didnt really play that bad given that he just return back from his injuries.. Did lost the ball a couple times and miss a golden opportunity after a neat 1-2 play with Zlatan..
The difference of his performance is just that he didnt manage to score that goal...
with his injuries proneness, I can see where chxta is coming from, time is really not on Alex's side anymore

IMO our first team is still short of probably three players.
Buffon
Zebina
Thuram
Cannavaro
Zambrotta
Emerson
Nedved
Zlatan
These probably being players I consider to be world class or at least reliable (Zebina)
Now that shows that our goalie, entire back line and holding midfielder are pretty much the cream of europe, you can't get better than that.
Unfortunately in the creativity department we are clearly lacking what the other big guns have, and we also have no proven quality wingers or help for Zlatan up front, which is gonna get worrying later on in the season if he gets injured. Kapo and Olivera might be the answer but they just aren't playing regularly, whereas Camoranesi is consistently inconsistent and infuriating in possession. Appiah Blasi and Tacchinardi are all solid players but they're not a patch on Emerson and basically do the same job anyway.
Up front Zalayeta is doing the business right now but doubts have to be raised as to whether he can maintain this over a season, he's never really broken into the team before, and he's not really "young" in football terms anymore either. Delboy is pretty much past it and Trez is a useless lump.
So yeah basically the initial hypothesis is correct.. we NEED something badly.. in a word creativity! Lets look at our rivals for top team in europe
Chelsea ... Duff, Robben, Tiago, Lampard
Milan... Seedorf, Kaka, Rui Costa, Pirlo
Barcelona ... Giuly, Deco, Ronaldinho..
US... Nedved
Buffon
Zebina
Thuram
Cannavaro
Zambrotta
Emerson
Nedved
Zlatan

Creativity is not always something required in an abundance. We have some, but there could always be more.
I think you are underrating Camoranesi thus far for this season. He has been consistent and looks miles ahead of last year's form. He could be added to the list of creative players, as surely Mauro is more creative than Duff.

I completely disagree that Camo is more creative than Duff, unfortunately. Wish he was. All Camo creates with are his crosses, Duff is a much more multi dimensional player and scores a fair few goals too.
I know you don't need shed loads of creativity, I was using Milan and Barca as examples.. its not necessary to have Rui Costa Kaka Seedorf Pirlo in the same side but its worrying that we have only one "creative" player in Nedved who isn't really that creative anyway
