    He will be able to play until he is 40 no doubt , what standard is another question , marketing value alone at £15,000 a week is a no brainer , sign him .
    The issue is Liverpool now want him and will offer more .

    This is true, also along with Sion and Sydney FC it looks like we have already offered a contract so we are one step ahead.

    No they have rabid fans furious at a new regime over lack of signings , not a good way to start .
    Put yourself in the shoes of Del Piero , Liverpool will offer more as well , the thing that goes against them is Henrys letter to the fans saying they will build from the academy .

    It is #SaintsFC or Sydney FC for Alessandro Del Piero, according to Italian journalist @dimarziotweet. Decision expected soon.

    So we're still in there pitching. Would be a great boost!

    If he is coming to saints doesn't he have to be registered by 5pm to be in the final 25 prem league squad?

    Looks less likely. Seen lots of Twitter traffic saying he's gone to Oz after all. Shame if true.

    If a club is unable to name 25 fit, over-21 players, in their squad they will be allowed to submit a list with a number of open positions that can then be filled by free agents at any time. However, clubs who do have 25 fit and over-21 players cannot deliberately leave players off the list in order to fill them with free agents between now and January 1.


    Hope that helps.

    No, as he's a free agent as long as we have free spaces in our squad after registration he can be registered at any point.

    I'd take him at St Mary's in a heartbeat - he's got creativity by the bucketload, & as others have already mentioned, his potential influence on the squad would be superb. Aussie press are saying that he's signed there though, so ho hum :/

    Don't feel like we need him to be honest.

    We have enough firepower.

    I don't think it's about firepower, it's more about a wise head supporting the youngsters and someone who can be used say in the last 20 mins of a game when we are 2-1 up and trying to keep hold of that. Ring any bells? Would that have helped on Sunday?

    He could do for us what Scholes is doing for United!

    May not be for del Piero, but it's a good point. An extra space gives us flexibility.

    He was a great player. The key word here is Was.

    It would leave a bad taste in my mouth that we got bid of Billy Sharpe to make way for "OldDellPiero"
