he is against the Barzagli transfer.
It's not that i'd hate it if we sign Barzagli, but i don't see him as an improvement in our defense.
If Barzagli was a great defender, a world class, he would have been head and sholders above everyone in Palermo. He would have been the one to organize and command their defense and he would have done it very well. But look at Palermo and their defense, watch Barzagli and notice how lost he looks sometimes.
Materazzi was such leader in Peruggia, even Legro was a leader in Chievo. Barzagli is not even close to this. He's not doing good in Palermo, how can we let him lead our defense then ?
People see him in the NT, people want an Italian defender and they're closing their eyes in front of the reality.
And the reality is that apart from Chiellini there isn't a single world class Italian defender younger than 30 and that apart from Materazzi, Nesta and Cannavaro Italians didn't have a single world class CB in 2006 and only that's the reason why Barzagli found himself with the azzuri.
Casiraghi talked about this problem few days ago. He praised Juve and Fiorentina for giving chances to the youngsters but he also said that he's having huge problems forming the defense for the u21 and how the problem lies in Italian football clubs that never give chances to the young Italian defenders and they go for foreigners instead. That's why there wasn't a single great Italian central defender between Nesta (generation 1976) and Chiellini (generation 1984), who still isn't great but is developing pretty well.
I don't want Juve to pick players only based on their nationality. There are a lot of central defenders who will surely be an improvement over Legrottaglie. Barzagli is not much, if any at all, better than Legro.
