Thats why I don't believe when he said that we have no one to fill Zambo's place. We have one who can probably fill even more.

Zambrotta at his best (during the Lippi era) was better than Chiellini now. Mind you Chiellini has yet to develop who knows if he can be better or not.
Truth has to be said, Zambrotta used to play RB and LB, LW and RW almost as good as each other which is something you cannot find easily. His forward sprints, which we did not see during the capello times, was one of our most lethal offensive weapons.

that is just opinion. Chiellini can be better than him or he canbe worse by what he is now, it all depends on him and the coaches..
one of the Best ever Left backs I ever saw, along with Roberto Carlos at his best, maybe he was better than the later.
you got me wrong, I am telling you when Zambrotta was young 22, 23? he was another regular midfielder that plays in Serie B. he wasn't anything special. He improved a lot lately, I am telling you that that logic was wrong when someone compared these two. and you are wrong, I saw him playing at that age, when he was at Bari, along with Cassano. and I also was watching Camoranesi at his time at Verona..

Me too. He seems too rigid i.mo to b the kinda fullback required in modern football. But as a centre back...I c the future
It's only a shame Balza is being released though. That left back position is one of the most difficult to prpoerly fill imo. And we'll wanna have some reasonable players to challenge 4 the coppa

After reading the pots on here, it just kinda makes you wonder. I have always said Chiellini would make a decent centre back because as far as I am concerned he sucks at left back and nothing anyone says on here would change my mind about that. he is awful going forward and as for his performances last season, well, even I with my ill deserved brag of being knowledgeable in football, I have never heard of the following teams in my life, Albinoleffe,Crotone,Spezia,Frosinone,Triestina,Mantova,Rimini and Arezzo. If he that good , he should be brilliant against such teams not just good. Comparing him to zambrotta who is currently playing in the best league in Europe is just foolhardy.
I hear Balzaretti is leaving to Fiorentina, shame because I liked him, he cannot defend, but he is good going forward. People laugh at my suggestions of Makele and especially Roberto Carlos, mainly because of their ages. well guess what, it does not matter how old you are but how fit you are and noone in our squad is fitter than Roberto Carlos, maybe Nedved,but Nedved is no spring chicken either
Lets analyse this age thing for a second, our 2 best players this season were Nedved and Dp, without doubt and they are above 30. Milan won the CL with Inzaghi, Maldini, Nesta and co over 30. In fact the youngest member of that backline , Jankulowski is also the worst player. Cafu went to Milan at 33 and has won the Cl twice with them, the league and the Italian cup
The French national team that got to the world cup final had so many 30 somethings as well who all played well. Roberto Carlos and Makele would not only bring experience but also improve the dressing room morale which is very important as they have won everything in the book and would be highly respected. They still have at least 3 good years in them as they are fit and thats what matters. I was reading we have zanetti, so what, they guy has only completed something close to a full season once, and that was Roma's championship winning season. He is not even that good. Which young player would come to juventus solely because they wanna learn from Christian Zanetti? Makelele and especially Carlos are world renowned and youcan easily attract great prospects from Brazil and France because of these players. Whats the point in paying 10m on Sissoko, just because he is young, when we all know that if he does not shine in his first season, he is offloaded like Thierry Henry, Appiah, Miccolli, Maresca and so many others. Just for the record Roberto Carlos helped to set up the potential title winning equaliser in the dying minutes, not bad for a 33 year old in a league which is quicker than serieA. Pity he is going or gone to Fenerbarche really, not to worry we can console ourselves witht he purchase of the much younger and world beater Almiron
Get tried and proven alongside exciting prospects and making sure they all gel is the key to success. How many times i have read the amount of ridicule bestowed on some players on this forum for me not to take opinions on here seriously. Beckham has been ridiculed but he is proving catalyst of success for bot club and country and he is 32. Cristiano Ronaldo is continually besmirched and he is a great player so are the likes of Ronaldo of Milan.
At this point in time we have a squad consisting of Zebina, Boumsong, Grygera and Salihamidic, yes , great reasons for optimism there. I neglected to include that I won't mind having Cordoba and Grosso from Inter here as well

As a left back even at 40 he would always be superior to Chiellini in my eyes. I did not see any serieb matches save for the first against Rimini and I do nto believe in highlights at all but I saw italy versus England under21 and he sucked at left back, his crosses were just pathetic. He how old? 23? and he still playing for the under21's? Always a good indicator of a player who has not fulfilled potential of earlier promise and perhaps would never do so. I am sick of reading how good some pretty average players are like Bonera and Brighi before him. It just seems as long as you are a Juventus player and you are young an Italian, you get undue and totally undeserved praise. I mean how is Chiellini as a full back better than Zebina? The guy can defend I give him that but he is no good at left full back
