Cannavaro has been crap during the past two seasons. Don't blame that on his partners in crime at Real.
We should be building for the future, not bringing back old has-beens and imbeciles such as Fabio Cannavaro. All it is is nothing more than delaying the inevitable and not fixing the long term problems we face. Instead of wasting time and salary on him, we should be looking at younger options.
I dont care about this traitor crap as you noticed with arguing about the other players, so in that regard its not a factor for me (though I find it hypocritical Canna is somewhat worshipped, when he lied to our face, only one to have, before leaving). But as you said, even if he is experienced (stabilizing factor), he is not far from 37 and is NOT good enough at all individually. I regurarly watch Real and Italy, and the amount of times he fvcks up is ridicolous, this is FAR from such a useful Canna, he screws up so much its frigging ridicolous.
Finding better options then him is very easy if we just invest a little (I mean seriously, the Gallas we were criticising is way better right now, and 4-5 years younger).
