He was actually preparing himself to face Cagliari while Del Piero was getting a standing ovation in Spain after getting one in Old trafford in the pre-season matche.

Like I said, its clear to me, you either did not watch Cassano or clear hatred blinds you. I would take Cassano here anyday of the week.

The obsession with Cassano on this forum is pathetically unhealthy.

indeed...

Myself included in that also. Was at that game. He owned Rio and Vidic numerous times.

No, then again alot of members would want him here I think.

 

[Ahmed]

Cassano? wouldn't even think twice, it his destiny to be a Juve player

 

[Azzurri7]

No, then again alot of members would want him here I think.

Majority wouldn't want him. That's the important thing.

 

[Nicholas]

Majority wouldn't want him. That's the important thing.

I agree, why would you not want him Rab? as for a quality side that is unquestionable and nobody can deny he has that. So what is it that makes people dislike him?

 

[bianconero]

Majority wouldn't want him. That's the important thing.

at the end of the day, if the management want him is the most important thing.

After that a few goals will soon change people's minds.

Del Piero got only outstanding fantastic goals last year in CL. No other random normal goal but fantastic ones only, starting from CL qualification ending up having Real fans bowing down for him. He outplayed Milan, Inter, Roma, he won several matches all by himself.

While Antonio Cassano was ripping Bologna, Chievo, Reggina, Catania apart? C'mon

Just to get us on the same page.

I am talking about last season, to be precise the 2008-2009 season. Cassano was superior to DP in the Serie A in that season. Actually the only attacker who was probably better than him was Zlatan.

Also i distinctly remember DP being virtually invisble in both Inter games. I remember the Milan game at the San Siro at the end of last season, i don't think DP played in that one. You can refresh my memory about the first leg in Turin, and about the Roma games, i cannot remember those to be honest. He was however majestic against Real in both legs.

Again, so that we are on the same page. I am not comparing both players abilities nor am i comparing their achievments. But i think the Cassano of 2008 and 2009 is superior to the DP of the same time period.

i was talking about his period at the biggest club he played...real madrid. All that i am trying to say is that he is more suited for a good team in which he's the only star..and the team will play only for him, not a world class (top 16 team)...his behave, his stats, his moments of sparkle clearly speak about my opinion.

His attitude ruined it for him in Real. Not his lack of ability.

 

[Salvatore]

Do I need to comment on this? Seriously what's wrong with some of you? Del Piero always stepping up in important big matches, Real Madrid, Milan, Inter, Roma, CL other matches....Cassano's record against Juve, Inter and Milan with Sampdoria, can anyone tell me please...

Antonio Cassano will never get to Del Piero's left foot nails let alone other things. Some of you are just incredible.

Why does a Cassano discussion always lead to a comparison with Del Piero?

Cassano will never achieve what Del Piero did. But there is a good chance that most of the strikers we'll buy in the near or distant future, or all of them, will never achieve what Del Piero did and will never be as great for Juve as Del Piero was/is.

It doesn't mean that we shouldn't buy new attackers.

For Your info guys, Cassano is not a big game choker. He scored many goals in his career against Juve, Inter and Milan (I remember him destroying us when we lost 4:0 in Rome. I remember he was 16-17 when he scored against Inter for Bari. I remember him destroying Inter last year when Sampdoria won 3:0, I remember his great assist last year in Turin against us). He was scoring in CL for Roma, scoring for Italy at EC etc.
Failing with Real doesn't mean he'll fail in Juve.

And even if he's a big game choker, which he isn't, and if he destroys only Bologna and the likes.....well, don't you think we can use such guy who destroys the smaller teams in serie A? Wins against these teams bring the scudetto and not beating these teams is what takes the scudetto away.

The question isn't if he's better than Del Piero. He isn't. The question is if he's good enough to play for Juve. I know he is. He surely has the quality.
Is he the guy we need? That I leave to the board to decide.

That is up for debate. If that is your argument against him, that would make a lot of sense. If we're talking about pure football ability though, thats a different story.

Question for you Alen, Do you think he would be the ideal Del Piero replacement? skill wise and style of play not temepremant.
