Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)

I heard that one as well, but it was from your friends, friends brother

Don't mock me!  I have serious intel! 

He's got enough money I think.

In terms of ambition, he has spent his whole career in Italy watching the Premier League become the best league in the world. Maybe he views this as a chance to play in the Premier League for a couple of seasons and to show what a great player he is to everyone, on the biggest stage.

And he's only got one Champions League winners' medal.

Sorry but I think he's old by Serie A standards! That renders him useless as a player in the Premier League. I wouldn't mind brining him in a player-coaching role though.

quality player unsure how true this mite be though!

if the deals right and in our interest, theres no harm in having an older top pro at the club. I remember people questioning Houllier when he signed Gary mac, and we know the rest! And of course thats if there is any truth in it.

Considering that picture was supposed to be of Del Piero in Liverpool, I was kind of expecting more news on this.

If he's not making a move here then I wonder why he was in Liverpool.

I still hope.  He's closer than you think.

Don't want him.He is too old.

seeing as noone rates dossa getting a Legend as part of the deal can only be a bonus, lets see now, quality player can unlock defences last twenty against stoke anybody? 

Don't want him.He is too old.

He's younger than you think.

After watching Manure sign up Owen, i think if we picked up Del Piero Fergie would be seething
As old legends go, even if Piero has a few years on Owen i can see him being much more of a threat than Mr Operating table please Owen.
As the first warm up game gets closer and seeing no signings the thought of Piero is warming on me, wouldnt mind him as long as he accepts he will be a squad player, not a regular.

id love del piero to come to Liverpool, doubt it would happen, this website this article is from isn't actually that reliable, i mean its not a big paper, or the good ol' beeb.

I think if he came he'd accept being a squad player because he seems like a genuine type of guy

What about Batistuta ?

Obviously one of those stories made up by forummers in hope of somebody @ the papers seeing it . Just like the heraideson one on RAWK .

There is still hope he can join

No because Batistuta is a ridiculous suggestion and Del Piero is actually feasable.

Erm, hasn't Batistuta retired now?

And I don't want an over-the-hill Itie either.

I read today that Juventus giving him an extension.

Hasn't been spotted on a night out in Liverpool for a while...

This would be one of the most surprising signings from the past 4 or 5 years. Would certainly welcome him at the club, somebody that wouldn't cry everytime they are left on the bench, wouldn't complain about wages and would definitely help us win the league. Work your magic Rafa

Del Piero extends Juve contract to 2011

Juventus's 34-year-old captain Alessandro Del Piero has extended his contract with the Serie A club by a year until 2011.

"I can only confirm my happiness and pride at this agreement," the striker told a news conference on Friday.

"I'm happy to be here for two more years to write more important pages in the history of team, which I believe is the most important in Italy and one of the most important in Europe."

Del Piero has become Juve's all-time top scorer since joining them in 1993, helping them win five Serie A titles and the Champions League once and scoring more than 260 goals in all competitions.

The forward, who holds the club's appearances record with 603, is also adored by Juve fans for staying in Turin and helping them climb back after their relegation for match fixing in 2006.

Del Piero, who has scored 27 goals for Italy in 91 appearances, added that he hoped to win back his place in the national squad in time for next year's World Cup after being overlooked by coach Marcello Lippi last season.

Oh well, another one off the table.

Cheers for the heads up, sonicgeeza.
