Del Piero!!! - Page 3

Del Piero is the icon of Italian football and probably one of the biggest names in world football, used to love watching Serie A years ago when it was on channel 4.

If for some absurd reason he came here even for 1 season I would be truely privledged.

I'd be willing to put aside all rationality for such a move.

It would make absolutely no financial sense, and he'd probably be shot to bits. But yes. Just yes.

I have to say I agree with this.

It would cost us a fortune, but would be great to say we had a player of his ilk and reputation

Considering you rate Beckham more than Del Piero than I'm not suprised you wouldn"t be inspired.

If we did pull this off it would be a massive talking point around world football, no doubt we'd get people from Italy who worship him coming over every so often and then people who are undecided whether to get a season ticket or not would no doubt be persuaded with all the hype.

He was still good for Juventus this season and would probably do more than the likes of Ji and Gardner.

Juve have spent the season unbeaten, won Serie A and Del Piero has played an important part in all of that.

Yet he'd be shit for us. Fucking hell man.

This. Legendary player.

I still think he could make an impact in the Premier League, but I think he's almost certain to end up in London.
QPR, Fulham or possibly West Ham.

Is there any footage of the friendly game vs Juve? Was on holiday at the time. Personally think we should have more of these type of games at the SoL pre-season.

he'd be worse than aqualung at l'pool he's too old and wouldn't be able to deal with the pace of our game, its why hes never done very well on international or european stages-in recent years
