dhannanjay... he left Juve according to what he said to win the CL, right? I fully understand his choice if he wants to win the CL somewhere else. But what bothers me is that now he wants to come back since he failed winning the CL and since we are back to the CL.. it's like we are in a Piazza(market) selling and taking back.
Another question, no matter how much tight friendship there is between him and Ale but do you think it's fair for players like Del Piero, Pavel, Gigi, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Zebina to see him coming back? I assume it isn't.
I also assume they get over him and think of someone else. Even if it was Alessandro Del Piero himself that left the club 3years ago, I wouldn't accept him back. So I don't see why we should accept having Cannavaro back.
Rabbijaan, we're currently third in the championship, it may not mean a guaranteed CL position, but he's willing to face that with Juventus. Milan in all probability are primed for the CL, with all the experience they have, and were quite clearly interested in Cannavaro for a better part of the season, news and articles for which continued to do the rounds.
About it being fair or unfair, I think all of them know that they're missing his experience in the backline. And I know for a fact that Gigi more than anyone else would accept him with open arms.
Yes, they all have the right to feel hard done by, when they see they went down with Juve while Cannavaro went to Madrid. But when all of us see the context of the situation and see, that all our champions only have one interest at heart, and that is to see Juve back where she belongs.
If that means accepting somebody whose willing to return to the fold, then so be it. We accepted Lippi back when he ditched us for Inter in a season we were down in 6th place. Why did we do that? Because we needed to, for the bigger picture. This situation is not much different. And nor is the context. Cannavaro is a proven champion and has never spoken shit about us, when he could easily have, given that he was with us only a couple of seasons unlike Zambro and Thuram. But he showed more heart and loyalty for us, even in his time away. I felt really let down by his move away just like you, but I know he says what he means, and i think in returning to Italy, he wants to first fix things with Juve because he might in all probability feel that he's let us down. Even at 36, he's got a better chance to win a CL elsewhere than he does with a depleted Juventus, but he's chosen us in the twilight of his career even though he didnt need to. Let's cut him slack on that front and accept him and the situation for what it is. I dont think we'll regret it this time.
He's not our future quite obviously, but at this point, he's just the leader we need to raise our game. And help the youngsters in the mould to keep it there. Above all, he's free. That means we've still got our entire transfer budget to bolster that sorry excuse for a defense with a couple of stalwarts. Im sorry, but it's not about Cannavaro, it's about Juventus. And we should do whatever the hell it takes to bring the Old Lady out of the shadows. You're speaking of Alex ditching us and coming back and you not accepting him? If you keep it all in perspective, you'll realise that you would.
