I will be so happy to see him back in action, and i hope he starts in florence. As RED said in another thread, the Vincenzo steamroller could have a dramatic effect on our fortunes, because whilst he is not the finisher of Trez, the skill merchant of DP, or the hairstyle of Amauri, more than ANY of his fellow strikers, he has the ability to totally irritate a whole defensive line, due to his sheer determination, heart, pace and strength. This counts for a lot...Playing against an extremely flimsy DP, and either the unfit Trez, or the Amauri, who despite his decent physique, seems far too easily muscled out of challenges, is a walk in the park compared to facing The Beast which we know as Vincenzo Iaquinta.
Its childish to expect that he will be our saviour, but it is reasonable to hope that he will add much potency to our ability to not only put the ball in the net, but also, to keep the opposing defence on constant alert.
His work rate is phenomenal. Only DP comes close on that score...

Vincenzo Iaquinta believes his return from a long spell on the sidelines will help Juventus get back to their best this season.
The 29-year-old has been out for over four months after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.
He is now fit again and might even appear from the start against Fiorentina this weekend.
“It has been tough, at times maddening [to be out for so long]. Above all, when I saw Juventus doing badly and I couldn't give my teammates a hand,” Iaquinta explained.
“It was a bad time. Also because the longest stop I'd had in my career up until then was just a month.
“Finally I have returned to train with the group. I couldn't bear to be at home anymore, also because I was a little nervous.”
Asked about Juventus's crisis, Iaquinta simply said: “It's been bad, very bad. Fortunately Zaccheroni has arrived and we have started to win, apart from the last match against Palermo.”
