If is true that they offered 4 year contract than im against it..I would offer max 2 with possible extension. According some Italian media CR was against this.
Maybe cos of length of contract, maybe cos it will bring some extra negative fire in dressing room..
One year contract with a option on one more year... the other 2 years is a work in our club not as a player.

Must say I like that contract

4 year contract but he will retire as footballer after World Cup and join the management according the media.

I am still waiting for his apology before his signature.

you can't be serious about that.

We get a former world champion, leader and super star FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!! Where is the risk in it?
You're risking the board considering him a starter, when he's not worth it. You're risking NOT bringing in the players that'll bridge the quality gap between us and teams like Inter. You're risking the board fucking us over like the last 2 seasons, where they brought in players for free, and thus concluded the transfer market under the illusion that they're the players that we need, and then finding out it was a terrible mistake!

Wow, it seems that the main argument for Canna move is that our defence could learn from him, than why we just don't sign him as a coach? And really how many of you guys watched Canna this season, he pretty much sucks and even he could be slightly improvement to our defence he definitly won't be solution for our defence.

I think he would be good in management. Especially if he has a bit of sway with Secco. Surely Cannavaro would have more brains then all of our management put together anyway.

Anyway.. lets lighten the mood a little bit and look at a Cannavaro compilation

Many of those who've voted for "FOR" were AGAINST Zambrotta coming back to Juve though if I had to choose between Cannavaro and Zambrotta I'd definitely go for the latter who was younger and could have solved our problems in the right back. It seems to be a done deal as Seven said but in my opinion, a reliable defense needs to be constructed in YEARS which we certainly don't have with Cannavaro. We're gonna have one year with him and by the end of the next season we'll have to replace him by another defender while we've already missed the opportunity to buy a good one during the year we're wasting with Cannavaro. If we could buy a decent defender with the price X this season we'll have to double that price to buy him in the next year and we also have to wait for a while for him to get accustomed to our team.

To me, Cannavaro looks like a pill which is reducing the pain (even here, I'm taking Cannavro being able to reduce our defense problems for granted) but is not able to help long term.

Exactly,all thats happening here is they are trying to find a short term solution & they are assuming that they are soothing the fans anxiety about the team.Signing Canna is a slap in the face to our defensive youth players & a step backwards in developing this team.In short,this is the easy way out to finding a solution for the defense.

Okay, WORST case scenario:

Molinaro --- Cannavaro --- Chiellini ---- Zebina
Crisicto --- Legrottaglie --- Mellberg --- Grygera
+ Ariaudo

We have Criscito, Ariaudo and Chiellini, who should be starters in the furture. They are guys that can be a long time with Juve. Why not put Cannavaro next to those guys?
At the moment, I don't see any better available, and with Cannavaro we don't risk another Andrarde case. This guy is FOR FREE!

Ariaudo will probably be loaned out, so ironically he wont learn anything from Canna. :lol:

exactly get Canna, bring back Criscito and we have a new defence for dree
we only need a right back and we are set, we would only have to pay for a right back
three players for the price of one, that's what I call good business

Its not about him being free,more about Canna commanding a starting spot & playing every game(if ranieri is still around)Having him play every match means Juve miss the chance to find a replacement,develop him & give him the much needed playing time to adapt.

It will be a Neddy situation all over again,except in the defensive department.:wallbang:

Don't let the "free" factor cloud your judgement. We have great examples of Grygera, Mellberg and Brazzo here already. We really dont need anything else free. Besides, after all the savings done due to these free signings, we should have enough money to buy quality players and not settle for rejects who ran out of their contract.

    Bah, it's different.Zambrotta said he'd said but he left for Barcelona...later on he said he'd return here but he signed for Milan so I'd still be against that transfer even though I do think that he'd improve our right side a lot.

    No, not long term for sure when we're talking about Cannavaro but even one year would help us a lot in this case.He'd work/play together with Chiellini and probably Criscito so I'm sure they'd just improve next to him.Our defense is pretty weak but it's not DC position really that's holding us back.It's mostly just Grygera and Molinaro who just can't do their jobs.I do think Chiellini needs someone good next to him and he'll have Cannavaro most likely (for one season).Don't know why but I think we're going to change our formation at the end of th season.4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1 doesn't really matter because we need 2 new players for midfield that would/will cost us around 35-40mln euros.We'll also going to sign some right back for let's say 5 so we don't really any money to buy a defender (except free agent Cannavaro).Maybe we'll have 5-6mln euros left from sales but I prefer having old/experienced Canna than some average un-known defender who can't help our defense at all.

    We don't necessarily have to double our money on that defender next season who's supposed to replace Cannavaro BUT we should.Our team will look much stronger next season with no so many holes to fix (with likes of Chiellini,Criscito,Marchisio...who have many years ahead of 'em) so we'll be able to spend even 30mln euros on some world class defender.

    why would you miss out on his experience
    he would be a great mentor for our defence
    Chiellini for one can still learn a thing or two from him
