Forza Cann...Forza Cannava... Nope, can't quite bring myself to say it.

I haven't voted. I can't say whether I am in favour of the Cannavaro deal until I see our whole mercato. Too many unkown factors to make a proper judgement at this point.

Juve = fail Cannavaro = fail Therefore: Juve = Cannavaro

Given your views, a person you consider an idiot is likely to be of sound judgement.

The deal suited both parties at the time.

First goal was partially Cannavaro, but the problem was that no-one was marking the guy that played the ball to Mata. That meant that Cannavaro had to step away from Mata, which gave him the half yard he needed to score. Second goal just wasn't Cannavaro's fault (unless you are someone who...

Saying Milan will win is fine. Saying that Juventus cannot win is a bit different.

No chance of that happening.

:tup:

That's what usually happens.

Absolutely. Like I've said before, I would only sign Cannavaro if we only have the cash to get a Nedved replacement and a RB and we don't think Criscito or Ariaudo is ready to step up and play CB. WW VII

My point is not that any defender would do better in our system. My point is that he will do better in our system than Legro or Mellberg do in our system and, therefore, he may be worth signing as a short term improvement to our defence.

Yes. Cannavaro, as bad as he looks at times at Real, will do better than our CBs, other than Chiellini, do in our system.

But you have to consider how he will fit in with a teams defensive unit.

I agree. I will be pissed off if Juve sign a free CB instead of a really good one and don't improve other parts of the defence.

Don't accept it then. Time will tell who is right anyway.

Tactically he is better. When he is in a tactical system and league that suits him more (exposes him less), he will still be able to perform at a reasonable level.

And therein lies the key. I predict Cannavaro to still have one good Serie A season left in him.

I promise you, Cannavaro is still a better defender than Legro.

Andy, if our budget is only enough to cover a Nedved replacement, a RB and free/cheap CB, do you not think that Cannavaro would be a decent option for a one season 'fix'? That is the only circumstances under which I would really back this move.
