I know that what Canna did to us was pretty dirty, i sure as hell wouldnt have bought him if i was in charge, but now he's here and what are we suppose to do? After all, he is currently a Juve player and ofcourse i want him to perform well with us. Not becouse ive forgiven him or anything like that, but becouse i want Juve to do well. I know i dont live in Turin (sadly) and i know im not a season ticket holder or anything, but i live and breath Juve everyday trough the internet, media and i watch every single match i can with them (only missed 2 games these last 2 years), surely i have some say in the matter.
This desire to divide the Juve support through country of abode and origing is pointless. If we all support Juventus, we all support Juventus. Its simple...and it doesn't matter to me whether a fan has just began following them or has followed them for years. If juve is in their heart and soul, thats enough for me. And there is irony in telling people on an INTERNET forum, that their support isn't of much substance because they follow their team mainly on the INTERNET...
A chap in Nairobi, who catches the Juve games when he can online, who has no chance of ever seeing a game live at the stadium, but who loves the club, and learns what he can about them, when he can, is as much a fellow supporter as a chap born and bred in turin, holding a season ticket, and attending every match possible. The turin chap feels closer to the action, and his city is affected more intimately by the fortunes of the club, but he remains a fan like the nairobi chap. and neither has the right to criticize the other...
I don't harbour any hatred for Cannavaro. he gave us tremednous service in his last stint here. Fair enough, he may well have preferred to go to Napoli. Still, that changes nothing. The fact is that he is here, with us, part of us, and if he puts 100% effort into his game, what kind of supporter would I be if i abused him? If he gives his all for OUR shared cause...that is what I want from every one of our players. When he left us, he was one of the best centrebacks on the planet. True, he has lost pace, and form, as age has caught up with him, but he remains Lippi's choice, and I wont go against Lippi.
The plan is clearly to add experience and class to our back line. To help Chiellini improve. To spread some tactical nous across the whole backline. I mean, who did the players have to look up to when Chiellini wasn't playing??? Legro??? Molinaro??? grygera??? Nobody...and who did Chiellini have to look up to when he was playing??? Not legro, thats for sure. Friends maybe...but i doubt that any of the defence has massive respect for Legro AS A PLAYER, as a man though, i hope so.
The confederations cup was appaling for the azzurri. Not just for Cannavaro AND Chiellini. But...at least we beat the yanks. That was the bare minimum we needed, which we achieved. Forza Rossi...hohoho!

Thanks a lot.
I agree with the points you make, but you don't have to be such a douche because some people don't live in your beloved Croatia, other parts of Europe, or South America, where they can go and watch "real football" in "real stadiums."
