no baggio, our defence is just one problem right now. we need to fix the midfield and forward unit also.
the one thing that Zlatan has got is that CL experience and international experience which i believe is important for juve. Gilardino might be playing well for parma and in Serie A, which is great, but at the same time, i dont think he has the same experience which zlatan has.
on top of that, Zlatan has better skills and is more creative. in addition, he is a target man also, which gives us a striker who basically has all aspects in his game. Sure, he doesnt score as much as we would like, but at the same time, playing with juve in a different team structure with different tactics and so on could see that changed. i suppose the last striker at the club who had the same characteristics as Zlatan was Boksic. Boksic had great pace, great ball control, could dribble 2 or 3 players without breaking a sweat. but his finishing wasnt great and he didnt really score enough with the given opportunities. however, our general play with del piero partnering him and zidane behind really saw some great attacking football and boksic really helped create a lot for others in the team. This is what Zlatan is able to do and this is what we lack now in the team.
Gilardino's style is closer to trezeguets and this is a positive towards buying him, but i feel that passing up an opportunity to buy Zlatan could be a huge regret.
and lets think realistically now. Juve could very well walk away with nothing this season and with losses, money is going to an issue. players like trezeguet and nedved are wanted by others and if they offer us the big bucks, moggi will take it. so maybe getting a creative striker like Zlatan could be crucial for our attacking options.
