Same goes for Chiellini tbh. Almost the whole team was rubbish back there.
Still I can't understand why people boo him when he didn't even prove his worth or bad-mouth Juve at all. He is not Ibrahimovic nor Zambrotta neither is he Buffon or Nedved. Thus being neither he doesn't deserve to be worshiped nor jeered. The same people who do either of these should grow some balls and stop judging something by it's cover if they want to be called 'Juventus supporters' without the phrase being an oxy moron. :rolleyes2

There are a hell of a lot of intangibles that go into being a successful team, and Cannavaro has a lot of quality in areas that contribute to a winning football environment (even if his performance is continuing to diminish).
And yes, we need another CB ASAP, once the money is available; no doubt. I've always been in agreement with that.
Still, he will help the defenders. Does he not train with them constantly? Travel with them, attend all team functions/meetings, etc., etc.? He'll be with these guys for part of damn near every day. Leadership is a valuable commodity, and I think this player will set a very good example for a lot of his teammates, when it comes to being a professional.
It's always a good thing to have a veteran presence with a winning background amongst any team's defense. There are plenty of subjects that are more easily breached with a teammate then a coach, different comfort zones, and he'll be another positive, less formal, accessible figure for the youngsters to bounce ideas/information off of.
Like I said before, it's too bad that he's likely going to be depended on as heavily as he is, and I AM worried about his actual performance on the pitch. Hugely concerned.
As for taking the playing time of the youngsters, Canna doesn't play LB, he won't play ahead of Chiellini (he'll play beside him), and Ariaudo is only 19 freaking years old. I'm certainly not counting on Ariaudo for very much of anything, this year. He needs to practice hard, play sparingly, and acclimate himself further to being with the big club full time. Right now, the only person that Canna will really be taking consistent minutes from is Legro, and I don't have a huge problem with that.
If Legro is playing better, he should start, same for Cannavaro, or hell, even Ariaudo (in the small chance that becomes the case THIS year).
I like the passion mate, but the comments about Figo and Raul miss the mark. I appreciate the sentiment about Pavel, he could have been a good squad player for us, he will be sorely missed in the locker room.
Last I checked though, we have a great deal of experience amongst our strikers. Last I checked, we have guys like Zanetti and Camo in our midfield. Last I checked, a unified, experienced defense is crucial for the cause, and it's definitely a good idea to have another accomplished veteran back there, to help guide the way. Other than Cannavaro and Chiello, who is quite young, there are no real leaders, and certainly no accomplished leaders, on this defense.
Hopefully it's very short term, hopefully we get another quality CB to partner Chiello, and Cannavaro spends the majority of the time on the bench. In the meantime, Fabio can provide a little more direction and advice, especially during training.

dude, I understand, but lets look at a few facts here:
-he didnt leave us for another Serie A team, like some other scumbags did (think Inter)
- he NEVER bashed our team, or the former management like some other pieces of shit did
- he was one of the only former players who stood up and defended the last few Scudettos we won, which were unjustly taken from us
- he came back here knowing he would face the music, where he could have went elsewhere, or even stayed at Real
this guy is a Juventino at heart

For us,europeans,that live and breath everyday for the game of football,he's a traitor and you're a typical american dumb-ass and only thing keeping me from stereotype you all are guys like Andy and Burke.....even if they don't know,they try to understand.

2 - yea he just said I ain't leaving, then was holding a Madrid shirt a week later
3 - None of them said they didn't earn their Scudetti
4 - he came back because we offered him really good wages for a 35 year old
If he was a Juventino at heart, he would have stayed with us...all he is and ever will be is a Mercenary at heart
1) He still is a very good player and after coming from Madrid to Juve he will prove it just as he did after his move from Inter
2) Ok don`t get over it keep whining and see if it helps but the reality is that he is here and booing him won`t help him nor the squad it will just disrupt the morale and harmony its not as Ciro would here it and say hey the ultras don`t want him here so I`ll leave my proffesional set of mind and be their tedy bear

And i respect them for it, you see he also insulted Napoli throughout his entire career, he's like i would like to end it all one day in Napoli, not i would like to live my best golden years with Napoli, or i would like to win with Napoli no i would like to end it at Napoli implying that Napoli are such a small team that does not deserve his best years it's just a place where he will go after he's done with Real football if i was a Napoli fan i would be fucking pissed.
Juve fans battle over Cannavaro Sunday 12 July, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a battle brewing between Juventus fans and those ultras protesting against Fabio Cannavaro and Jonathan Zebina.
The role of the ultra’ in Italian football has always been a tricky one and there is set to be a deep split within the fanbase, which is already evident in pre-season training.
Cannavaro’s return from Real Madrid three years after he walked away in the midst of the Calciopoli scandal is the focus of the trouble.
The World Cup winner and the other Confederations Cup players do not begin training in Pinzolo until Thursday, but ultras already chanted slogans against him during this week’s sessions.
‘Madrid dumped you, Napoli repudiated you, only your avarice brought you back to us,’ read one banner, while others declared Canna ‘a traitor.’
Zebina was also targeted for abuse, but he was never a particularly popular figure among the Bianconeri fans.
Unusually, the majority of supporters turned on these hardliners with their own chants and jeers, but the situation is set to escalate when Cannavaro actually joins the squad.
The ultras have already been using fireworks and smoke bombs during the training sessions to make their protests clear.
According to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, the deep split between the sets of Juventus supporters could blow up next week with Cannavaro’s arrival.

This could really hurt the team. But hey, atleast the hardcore "fans" will show how tough they are

Let me ask you guys I question... lets say that the bashing continues, lets say that this makes a hole mess and Cannavaro decides to leave, after watching the players comments on Canna they are behind him so, how do you think the players will react to this?
Do you think they will be happy to see Juventus fans insulting and bashing a teammate?
I can see next week Del Piero comming and asking our fans to stop bashing Zebina and Cannavaro.
