Juve legends Gianluca Vialli and Alessio Tacchinardi are at odds over whether Nicklas Bendtner is a good option for the Serie A club.

The out-of-favour Arsenal forward joined the Bianconeri on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day.
The 24-year-old Denmark international spent last season at Sunderland and Juventus were reportedly keen on bringing in Bendtner's former Arsenal colleague Robin van Persie at the beginning of the summer.
However, with van Persie joining Manchester United the Italian giants had to reconsider.
"Bendtner isn't a bad player per se, but he won't allow the team to make that step up in quality," Tacchinardi told Sky Italia.
"He's certainly a decent striker, but as a fan I'd have preferred to see a different forward join Juventus."
However, Vialli was more positive towards the Bianconeri's latest acquisition.
"At times Bendtner can seem like a phenomenon, as he has great self-belief and tries very difficult moves," he said. "In Italy he can make the most of his courage and physicality, but if he wants to stand out for his quality, then he's chosen the wrong league.
"I believe Antonio Conte will know how to use him best. Besides, even without a top player in attack, Juve can still win the Scudetto again."
