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 .

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.

I don't have an issue with him signing as long as the wages aren't extortionate and he doesn't expect first team football as I think having someone who has experienced that level of success round the club can only be positive and he would be a great role model for the younger players but he's not going to be high in the pecking order and is unlikely to finish 90 minutes. Perhaps more suited to a player/coach role?

Come on guys… it's Del Piero.

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

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.
 
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!
 
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"
