"Zambrotta and Cannavaro remain in our hearts, and I would love to see them again in a Bianconeri shirt, but it would be too complicated to bring them back here." Cobolli Gigli could not disguise his admiration Fiorentina hitman Luca Toni either, despite the Viola claiming earlier this week there is no way they will be letting their talismanic striker leave. "His name is one that everyone dreams of, but it will soon be time to initiate talks."

So Coboli-Gigli dreams of Canna & Zambro returning to us? Good, hope they are an indicator of the level of signing we need next season. We really will need 3 or 4world class players to be anywhere near the European places next season. I know "world class" is a term used with frequent ease these days but it holds very true when you look at our current squad. Without wishing to offend anyone, our only current player at this level is Buffon. You could argue the case for Camo & Trez but its not so clear cut. With both these asking to leave on numerous occasions & our only signings so far being freebies, I hope Coboli-Gigli & Secco have some aces up their sleeves, otherwise I see difficult times ahead. Zambro is probably the worlds best full back & so can only serve to make us better. I've said harsh things about Canna since he left, but with the exception of Barzagli, no defender we've signed or been linked with would improve our defence markedly. We need to check our emotions at the door, & do whatever is nessacary to put the tricolore back where it belongs.
