Hell, we could field Giovinco as the other striker along with either Iaquinta or Trezeguet. We could have kept Palladino and actually tried him in his actual position even though he does look like a Dingo, plus we have Pasquato who has in some ways outshone Amauri at his own game.
So, what would we rather have? Amauri, another top class defender, or another creative midfielder?
I'll tell you what, Amauri is the last on the list.
