Italy have a wealth of talent and experience and AGE. Their strikers are in their late 20's and early thirties except Gilardino. Iaquinta, Del Piero, Toni, Rocchi, Totti, Di Natale, Di Michele, Del Vecchio, and Inzaghi are either in their prime or past it. Don't you think it's time they found NEW talent? Who are possible Italy strikers in the future?

yup i totally agree.. Aged players have lots of experience and that's good, but age also means weaker legs.. most of them oldies will have to hang their boots in a few years time so replacement/alternative strikers are due.. if not, this may affect how the teams will perform in the future.. perhaps the standings will then be in favor to clubs with established young players; from you're list of young players, most notably AC Milan..
young talented strikers are harder to accquire nowadays as most clubs will keep these players for their own future use.. most likely, many clubs will have to rely on new, relatively unknown lads found by their scouts..

i think that as long as the player still what they're good at they should stay. Bring in new player so that they can gain experience from the older wiser players. Just because they are in they late 20's early 30's doesn't mean they should retire, look at Cannavaro he is 33 and playing the best football he ever has.

Probably you're right.
And I want to suggest another Italian striker Filippo Inzaghi of AC Milan.
He's 33 and he's still one of the best player of our Championship.

Yes some of the players are ready to retire like Totti, Cannavaro, Materazzi but they do have an U-21 team that will be trained to play in the World Cup, players do get old that's why we have the younger player to back them up...there's always a plan in soccer!

hey i look at it this way if they are still good and continue to score they should keep playing!! and slowly italy will get some new young talent as well but i dont think that there is any reason to get ride of the strikers if they continue to be amazing at what they do! :)

They may be old, but they are talanted. Besides, I'm sure they will find new young people who are very talanted.
-Some U-21 players are probably coming. Including Aquilani, he is 22 years old and he plays for Roma. He is very good too.

Now the coach called Roma striker Aqulliani ( i think this the spelling ) and Gilardino is not 27 sasan he is about 24 .
Borrielo in Milan is very good but he failed a drug test lol.

Luca Toni is 30 years old. That's old? Gilardino is about 24 years old. So what age do you want them to be considering that they have one of the youngest players on their team.

There are many U-21 players that are good and with time they will be able to play in the national team.
