Fire offered 1.5 million....

What do you think?

I think yes, sign him for rest of the season with a team option for next year. If it doesn't work out this year, then don't pick up the option. Nowak came in at the age of 35 in 1998, I think he did pretty good for us. Del Piero is 36, I think he's good for another year and half.

If he does sign who does he replace?

Is he a forward or attacking midfielder?

I think he could player either attacking midfielders or forward. If he plays CAM then you could move up Grazzini to forward or have him play uptop with Rolfe and have Grazzini as CAM.

At the very least looks like there trying, I wonder if it's FK or Andy trying to get Del Piero.

First off, I highly doubt it'd be Hauptman wanting to spend the money. It's gotta be from Klopas.

And I'm pretty sure that Del Piero would just take Grazzini's spot, and Grazzini would sit the bench. Unless we try some crazy two-AM formation.

Did he play for West Ham a decade ago or I am thinking of someone else?

You don't have a fucking clue.

Fairly certain he's been with Juve since the middle ages.

I must be thinking of someone else that was with them back in the early 2000s.

Yeah I was way off. I was thinking of Paolo Di Canio for some reason.

I'm not sure I want to see Grazzini benched... If this guy isn't effective enough we will be pretty bad, Grazzini is our best player by far IMHO, so I want to know if Del Piero is still capable before giving him Saba's job

Grazzini stays in as CAM and Del Piero takes Oduro spot uptop with Rolfe. You could bring in Oduro at 70th minute and run the hell out of the tired defenders.

^that doesn't sound to bad....if Rolfe and Del Piero stay healthy that is

I just got back from Raging Waves water park and there were two FIRE players there. Grazzini and Robayo were there enjoying there day off, my boys got to meet both of them. I asked them both a couple of questions. Are they going anywhere before the transfer window opens? Didn't get an answer from either of them, then I asked them what they think about the starting 11 (mainly Pause), didn't get an answer, but both of them did smile and laugh.
