No, you're wrong.
We had a young defense that actually needed experience. Is Canna the quality defender we needed is another question, but there was nothing to laugh at adding experience in our defense.
Milan on the other hand had a 40 year old and at least 10 +Thirty year olds and yet they were adding more +30 yo guys to the team. 3 oldies left them last season (Ronaldo, Cafu, Serginho) and three new oldies came in the team (Zambrotta, Beckham, Abbiati....even Ronaldinho, who isn't in his 30's yet, is way past it).
