Fabio Cannavaro (11 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

It's a known fact that Italian defenders are better than Spanish defenders because they have Italian blood. German defenders are better than Spanish also. But Spanish defenders are better than Portuguese defenders because they are closer to Italy and consequently French defenders come in second place because they are closest to Italy among the whole lot. The worst defenders in Europe are the Swedish, the Norwegian and the Finnish.

Outside the continent it is a known fact that the best defenders come from Tunisia and Libya for obvious geographical reasons.

Based on this, imagine if Samuel had Italian blood.

Don't forget the Argentine exception though - they have similar blood to Italian. Just look at Krazy Camo.

That is true but still the pure Italian blood is superior.

Walter Samuel is Jewish so he has the purest blood of all.

To be fair, Samuel was very poor in La Liga but is very solid again now.

What kind of example is Samuel? He isn't that good anyway.

Difference between Trez, Camo and Canna you ask? That we kept the two former against their will because we couldnt find tempting enough bid as we did with Cannavaro. Plus, even if I didnt like how he behaved (not as disloyal, but as dishonest), we wanted to get rid of him in a way too because he was old, with a huge salary. Plus there were ample enough offer. With Canna there were little to no interest, serious ones, and Trez we wanted to keep against his will, and didnt get any big bids for. They wanted to leave just as much as Canna, the difference was we actually find satisfactory bid to sell him for, while even if we prolly wanted to keep the other two to not lose more, the main crux was we didnt get tempting enough offers for them.

Now, hows that for loyalty? Market values and demand for the players is what defines loyalty to you???

Okay I should have thinked twice before having Trez and Camo as examples, but the point is that they contributed and helped us even if they partly was forced to do it. If they really did want to leave, I believe Juventus would have no choice but to sell them since they would cause disharmony at the club. I also suggest you re-read (if you even read) my first post since I brought up more reasons than just his loyalty to the club.

Why do you want a player turning 36 years old as a player? Juventus isn't Milan. Like I said, yes for staff member, no for player.

He'd get into our starting XI, both when he was at Roma and now that he is at Inter. It's just at Real where he played badly.

I think Fabio would be a great addition for a season or two. Outside of Chiellini, the Mellburg - Legro platoon thing we have going doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

So, add Fabio if he's cheap enough, bring back Criscito and the defense will be much improved.

Pepe has been fairly consistent this season, i'm surprised you even compare Cannavaro to Pepe. Pepe has been Real's best defender by a country mile, even cleaning up after Canna's mistakes. I think Pepe doesn't get the credit he deserves because of his poor start with Real and because of his price tag, but for me he is a top class defender.

You say Puyol does well because he grew up in the Spanish system? Fair enough, but how about other defenders like Marquez, Pepe and even Gonzalo?

Yes Cannavaro would do better in a more tactical system where midfielders offer defenders more protection. No it doesn't excuse his poor performances for Real, because if he was still good enough, he'd be able to hold his own.

I must not watch as much real games as you but from what I have seen of Pepe he does not make me think he is very good.

Marquez has been in spain long enough and Pepe coming from portugal deals with that type of run at defenders football more so that Canna would in Italy. Canna is good in organized defenses. I think some players are more tailored for different leagues. Anyway my point was that Canna would be better here than he is at Madrid even if only for a year (he is still a good defender at Madrid overall too)

He is great

That's like saying I'm only going to shoot somebody in the leg instead of the head, so that I don't kill him and won't have to spend as much time in jail.

Which would make sense.

i dont get it.
Canna > Leggro > Mellberg.
that is my reasoning for him coming here

but if i was to shoot someone i would prob shoot them in the leg. for future reference.

What do you mean with purest blood

I'm proud of Juventuz when I see that this thread has reached 33 pages in less than two days.

I bet it has even more replays than j1897.

Forza Juventuz.

 

[Vinman]

You can look at one name on there to settle this entire petty argument.

Look which vote Vinni has chosen.

Case closed.

with the exception of Chellini, he's better than anyone else we have right now on defense......and we know how this board doesnt like to spend money, but rather grab guys on free-transfers

I'm not too happy about the way things went 2 years ago, but he is a short-term solution

 

[slayback]

Just a side question, anyone know any estimates of how much we have to spend on the summer transfer window? Including the earnings from the Champions league?

i know its goal.com, but their editorials are not bad and the author actually knows a few things about football
its a good read and in my opinion very accurate

We will have around 40-50mln euros.
