His strong physique, has a good sense of positioning and great aerial ability.
All add up to a possible 20 goal/season striker.

His most was 15 in 2007/2008
Potential means nothing if it's never achieved
Enough. Can't remember exactly the number. I don't say that he is useless. But he just can't score.
To be totally fair, during the first half of 2008-2009 season he used them a lot. But then he just stopped. Without a reason. Anyway, I don't see him leaving us in January. Probably during the summer transfer period...

Amauri is better technically but that only means so much, he has fear every time he gets around the area and zero confidence. Iaquinta on the other hand is an old school Italian striker who has played at the lower levels and he is always fighting to prove himself, he isn't scared of anything and doesn't lose that directness his game has always had.
There's nothing to prove that though. Amauri had a long, long run last season as other strikers were injured and still couldn't do anything. Iaquinta, even though far from being a good striker, still manages to score goals here and there. Amauri might find form else where, but he has done nothing in the past year and half to suggest that he'll succeed at Juve. You should also consider that Amauri was brought in as a close to first choice player. Iaquinta is just a sub. And as a third/fourth choice striker I'd prefer Iaquinta over Amauri any day.
Yeah, twice he was completely onside, in fact, with a Lazio player physically holding him onside, and yet called the opposite. Ridiculous calls. Speaking of which... Those two corners the linesman "didn't see", or that throw in he didn't give us (giving the Lazio player a foul...somehow, despite falling down on his own) also irritated me. The ref really showed his true colours with that bullshit (going so far as to match their kit in the first half, too)!
