I forgot to mention this post. In such a trivial discussion, we do have some bright spots shinning through the utter pile of crap. This is one of them.
This post by Shadowfax is one in which we should all think about and take to heart, from the Del Piero haters to the Del Piero lovers. Stop for a moment and read these words....perhaps trivial arguments like this wouldn't have to take place.

The former coach of Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he always knew the Swede was going to become a star.
Johnny Gyllensjo, 52, coached Ibrahimovic as a junior at Malmo and said: "He had a light in his eyes. A special light that only those who love football possess.
"I saw that same light on the weekend when he played against Bulgaria.
"I coached Zlatan for two seasons. When I first came across him, I knew he was an exceptional talent. He lived for football. The only drawback for him at the time was that he was physically behind the others, but you could see he would become a great player.
"He loved football and always dreamed of being a success."
Gyllensjo added: "He improves every year. If he continues I can see him becoming the world's best.
"I read an interview with him where he said Capello called him into his office and showed him goal after goal of Van Basten's days at AC Milan. It seems to me, his Juve coach is telling him 'watch, study and learn' from the very best - Marco Van Basten."

Not to dismiss a great post by Paul (which it is), but there is also a dark side here. That "the history of juventus is about heritage feeling, love of the game.... Respect...." sure doesn't jive with much of the rest of the league, given insinuations of referee scandals, doping convictions, etc. And there are more still who will claim Juventus has historically played unflattering, workman-like football for the sake of winning and less for the love and enjoyment of the game.
Before we start chugging down the Kool-Aid together, let's be aware that we have a pretty frigging biased opinion about all this.

Particularly for offensive types, the thought being that teams learn how to play against new talent the second season around ... making it a lot harder for them to repeat their first season successes.
I just hope Zlatan shows patience the way Capello can teach it. He still needs an attitude adjustment from time to time.
