He has played that position before.. Lippi once stuck him there as a forward when we had injury crises during 98-99 season. You know, Lippi played Tudor just about any position beside GK.
to be honest I have more hope in Tudor not getting injured and playing well than Del Piero. Even though the latter seems to be in decent shape so far, he always seems to be on fire at the start of the season and then repeat the whole DP story over and over again. Tudor on the other hand, could really be useful to us if he doesn't get injured; I'd take him over Legro or Montero any day, and with the large number of matches we'll be playing, we really need him to be fit
Tudor played a fantastic game against Sweden in his NT. He was covering the back lines so properly and playing the ball forward, almost efficient all the time.....I would like to see more of him with Juve...this guy can give

In first thoughts I thought that we have too many CBs, but then I realized that Montero's and Ferrara's influence in the team is probably very important for the youngsters, after all they are legends around here... But Iuliano, I just can't understand why is he still with us...

Yup. He started last season with three top quality performances but then got injured and never returned to form. The key for Del Piero is to stay healthy. If he can do that I'm confident he will start stringing good games together.
our current defence line should be 4 only and these 4 that by dar deserve these spots are zambrotta ( irreplaceable) Thuram (buffons most trusted defender) (cannavaro he works hard and we just got da damn boy) he 4th spot goes to zebina koz we bought him for a reason to play not to be sub for montero or tudor.... if we hav to put a defender from last season ... then it could be iuliano or ferrara... i just think the are alright but never put more than one of em on the field...

If Tudor plays very well, I think there is a possibility that Capello might play 3-4-1-2 formation, and play him as an organizer. Even if our right hand side might be a bit suspect, I guess we can get away we with in certain games.
However, Tudor will be likely rotation player, and if he can stay injury free there is no doubt he can productive. And given Thuram and Canna's age, we do need extra cover to give that extra insurance and keep them fresh.
