oh yeah? I thought we had a 5 year plan? Well, that's what the board or Ranieri are telling us.
Thats why im against Canna besides his downward slope in terms of form,also selling an established striker(Trez) to overpay for Cassano & giving less time for a rising star like Giovinco.

Hopefully we get a new coach that can use all the strikers to their maximum ability & focus on defense & midfield.:xfinger:

Hate him all you want, but the fact is, he didnt discredit Juve like Thuram and Zambro, and more importantly he knows he's going to get a lot of shit from players and fans alike for coming back, given the way he left us. But, he's still willing to do so. It's not easy and that has to go some way to redeeming his move away. It definitely counts for something. He's older and slower now which warrants his pay cut, but is by no means a pushover. His game is better suited to the Serie A, and I dont doubt his quality. Quite frankly, Canna is going to be the Del Piero of our defense. And I'd be more than happy to have that at this point in time. So no point denying it.

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.

Well that's the greatest point i've ever heard. Don't accept him for all i care, but there are obvious reasons why we do need expierenced defender. I don't think Camoranesi or Trezeguet would sat in corner and keep it silent if they were against this (actually i think they are starved for success), as Secco is making this deal loud enough for anybody to hear. No need to make unnecessary drama of how it is unfair against the older players if they are satisfied.

Define experienced defender please???

If you mean by experienced defender to be over 35 then that's a whole different story. If you mean by experienced defender to be capable and able to command our back line and organize them and AT THE SAME TIME capable of passing then you don't need a player who is hitting his 40's.

You need a bit of cash but at the same time you'll know you have someone who can play for 3 years minimum without worrying before going to bed.

Some of you make it like, we either get Cannavaro or we're screwed next year/season.

I agree this sin't the case, but compared to what we have available now, Cannavaro is an upgrade.
Also, he is a free transfer which means we would be able to spent a bit more on another quality CB since we only have Chiellini as good CB at the moment, while we need 3 good CB's and one 4th decent one (Legro or Mellberg f.e.).
Assuming we have that at our disposal, I would fele much more confident with our backline going into next season.

It's not like Canna or the mercato is over, but i see it as a good deal. By expierenced defender i mean guy who has played over 120 times for Azurri and still is the captain of the team, capable of leading the best defence in the world. And we don't have that "little" cash to spend on such CB you described, we won't buy starting defender for 3 or 5 millions.

Lets purchase Paolo Maldini then.

Gallas would be a good example of someone who would be great to get.

well i know that some of the people here does lack logic and big part of them are brainless gloryhunters, but i thought you are not one of them, and its worth making a discussion with you. seems like im mistaken :shifty:
Re-read your post again.

You said you want an experienced defender, a player who has player over 120 matches for his NT and is a captain and can lead a team.

I replied saying Paolo Maldini according to your logic there.

So it's either you doubt what you want or you're simply unsure of what you want.

So you are seriously comparing Maldini to Cannavaro? That's like comparing Maldini four seasons ago with Maldini nowadays.
You very well know what my point was, Cannavaro is captain for Azurri (of course if you know what the word from your username means) now, and he still is the leader under a great coach Lippi in Italy NT now, like it or not. This was my logic and don't try to hide your fail under captious posts, while you still haven't responded to main argument. Another post of how we should sign every single veteran defender out there, and you are joining my ignore list. Just informing. ;)
