Juve's top 3 all time attackers

thegutterpoet wrote:I was slightly too young to see Platini play, but I suspect he would have been first choice. In my morning haze, and from what I have seen in my time, with my own eyes and felt with my own heart...undoubtedly roberto Baggio, Trezeguet and Vialli.

I can't see how Nedved could ever be classed as an attacker, even though his game was tremendously offensive, and if he is an option, then I Zidane has to be, so I would have Zidane/Baggio/Nedved...but this is extending the parameters...so I will stick to those deployed in the final third, and say R, Baggio, Trezeguet and Vialli.

I have always respected DP, but never found the love for him which so many others have. A wonderful ambassador for the club and game, but lacking the tenacity and grit which I always include in my measures of Greatness.

Blasphemy about Del Piero
Probably the first Juventus fan I've seen that didn't rate Del Piero
I wholeheartedly disappear, numbers alone replace that grit/tenacity. Showing up in big games and winning every possible trophy after spending nearly 20 years at the club and staying through it during the worst of times (scandal), while at the same time showing a lion's heart as the team's captain, places him in his own list of special players.

Never will we see another Del Piero
Never will we sign a 19 year old and bring him from relative anonymity to super-stardom

Even in his late years he magically went past players with pure skill no matter what slowing pace he had left. You knew when he stepped up for a freekick that something special was going to happen. You knew that as he dribbled in from the left side to right, that his special one of a kind shot would curl into the top corner, amidst the screams of joy from millions of Juventino like ourselves, as we chanted his name. You knew towards the end of his career, as he recieved less playing time, that we all would anxiously look at the clock and exclaim , "Where is Ale?". He is the number one and indisputable player at our club . No doubt. His passion, pure skill, talent, never give up attitude is what made him better than any other forward in our team.

an unsurprising response, devi, although I suspect you didn't mean disappear!

I am not criticizing Del Piero. Clearly...he has simply never really grabbed my heart and soul and spirit the same way other players have, such as Cantona, Montero, Buffon, Nedved, Rooney, Zidane, Cannavarro, Moller, Kohler, ballack...the common thread there is a manly tenacity which our beloved 'sandro never had. Indeed he was a wonderful player, just not one of my favourites of all time, which doesn;t lessen my support for the club or make me any less of a juventino, it simply means that I have a special reverence reserved for a kind of character which DP was never going to be.

So there we have it. A wonderful player, and ambassador for the game and club, but never one of my favourite players...

It could just be the case of people of being more vocal in their affection for Del Piero but that doesnt mean their support for the club equates to being lesser or something.

Every Juve fan wants the team to win and do well at the end of the day.Thats all matters.
