Maybe Secco can sign Canna for free & use him as bait to get Ribery if Bayern really are interested.

Juventus, argues Antonio Labbate, are about to make another transfer blunder if they do indeed net Fabio Cannavaro
Have this Juventus hierarchy learned nothing? While inexperience and naivety went some way to providing an alibi for their past misdemeanours in the transfer market, following a string of shoddy signings and questionable sales, the understanding that they’ve agreed to re-sign Fabio Cannavaro is an act of self-harm.
A World Cup winner and a Calciopoli-stripped Scudetto winner with the Old Lady he may be, but Cannavaro is coming towards his 36th birthday and no more the insurmountable Berlin Wall which the Azzurri’s German success was built on.
Seemingly no longer good enough for Real Madrid – who signed him in 2006 when Serie B football was not up to his level – and of no interest to hometown club Napoli, one has to seriously wonder why a club such as the Turin giants are even contemplating a move of this kind.
Juventus will argue that his Bosman status, his acceptance of a reduced wage and his vast experience will serve the team well, but this is an outfit whose aging stars have for the second consecutive season failed to mount a serious title assault on an Inter team which continues to dominate the Italian scene with far too much comfort.
Granted, there are a lack of central defenders available on the transfer market right now, but La Vecchia Signora are misguided in thinking that re-integrating a player from the past will guarantee the glories of old in the future.
The reality is that Cannavaro would, in some ways, weaken this Juventus rearguard. A player of his stature would expect regular action and that could be bad news for the Bianconeri.
Already susceptible to counter-attacks, as we saw in Turin on Saturday night against his former club Inter, it’s hard to see how a slowing Cannavaro can adapt to a defence that plays ludicrously high at times. And what exactly has Nicola Legrottaglie done wrong this term to deserve his likely ousting?
Juventus need to start clearing out yesterday’s heroes. Pavel Nedved, much to the disappointment of some at the Stadio Olimpico, will quit at the end of the season and that is to the club’s long-term benefit.
If they sign Cannavaro now, they’ll then have to replace him in a minimum of 12 months or a maximum of 24. Can one player, this present player, really make a telling difference in that time?

see the thing is that Canna was never the paciest of defenders, his reading of the game was always his strength,so his age really should not diminish his ability, however his athleticism in the tackle was the dual foil that made his the best in the world,that,i am afraid could be where he falls short nowadays.
that said we have an immensely talented young Cb in GC who is ferocious in the tackle but sometimes a little naive, if canna can teach him while part of a partnership and also do some coaching with Giorgio, then i reckon this could eb a great move and the future would look a l0t brighter with an improved Chiellini

Meh, I change my mind somewhat. Recalling Criscito, signing Cannavaro and buying an RB would be cheap and would definitely improve us.
Cannavaro's declined, but like Nedved he's a player who's desperate to win the CL before his career ends. He also has no legit Scudetto to his name. Such a figure can be needed in the dressing room.

Every team goes through a cycle & unfortunately Juve had to come to it very early on.This Canna addition is undoubtedly a good signing but long term the club is failing.There's no long term vision with the signings so far.Personally im not worried about trophies & beating Inter,the main priority is stabilising this team,grooming the youngsters & getting star players to replace our fading stars.Let Inter have all the glory now,i can assure you if Juve do think long term,inter will be back where they belong,lagging behind Juventus!
Long term?
Diego, Criscito, Marchisio, Giovinco, Sissoko, Chiellini
This should be the base for the future. These should be the players we should count on in the future.
IMO the best team is always a mix of young and old. So add leaders like Cannavaro, Del Piero, Buffon, Trezeguet and Camoranesi, some squad and depth players and we have a very strong squad.

man we're soooo bocoming pre-2006 inter
success starved and disgruntled fans expecting success handed to them on a plate?-check
buying big money players who spend more time on the treatment table than the training ground?-check
big mouthed "fans" wanting a new manager,since the guy they have bad-mouthed for the last 6 months is starting to bore them as he does not deliver instant success?-check
people writing off every major signing they don't agree with a failure after about 2 games?-check
club directors that appear completely out of their depth?-check
club directors that while undoubtedly incompetent,are busy tapping everybody's phones so that they can gather enough circumstantial evidence to get bribed judges and officials to hand them titles they never merited? -
sorry man, we are NEARLY Inter 2006 but we aint that desperate yet
OP
It is a long term, but it's just going slowly...look,
Season 2009/2010
Buffon
Zuniga-Chiellini-Cannavaro-Criscito
Sissoko-Marshisio-Asamoah
Diego-Giovinco
Amauri
Zuniga-Chiellini-Cannavaro-Criscito
Sissoko-Marshisio-Asamoah
Diego-Giovinco
Amauri
marked ones can play for at least 5 more good years.So in season 2010/2011 we could invest all our money in let's say world class defender and top class striker.Having the money required imagine this team with someone like Kjaer in defense and Benzema in attack.
