I'm not even going to start comparing our current squad to Capello's. Our midfield and attack look quite strong, but remember that Capello had Zambrotta and Thuram, as well as Cannavaro at his best and Zebina un-injured (for what it's worth).
Defence wins championships, and I think even if we do sign Melo, we won't be competitive unless we improve our back line.

all but the defense is as strong or stronger than Capello's. Trez and DP were a whole lot younger the too as well, gotta take that into account plus we had Ibra. It is a tough one, lets wait til the season starts to make that judgment
Our midfield is a bloody Roman Legion ready to expand the empire.

I like your description of the midfield
I kinda agree with that post, In capello's time we didn't have Diego, nor we had Giovinco, our strikers that time were great, Mutu, Zalayeta, Trezeguet, Ibra, and Alex, but still our attack is similar to that, Our midfield is better, Melo> Viera, Sissoko>Emerson, Cannavaro was very good that time, but I think chiellini is as good as him (im talking about the past) De ceglie could turn to a great fullback even better than Zambrota, and Zebina could stop getting injured
Nah ... while I can agree on most parts of your post, I dun think Chiellini (07/08, probably being his best season) has come close to matching the Cannavaro of 2005/2006. Canna was an immerse force for Juve and Italy backline. Not even Nesta or Maldini can match Canna in that 2 seasons with us.
Canna was 31-32 yo where he become one of the world's greatest defender, there is still time for Chiellini to turn himself from a good defender to a great one.

Come on stop talking nonsense, We all know that Cannavaro was very lucky to have always great players around him, In juve 2005/2006 he had Viera and emerson as defensive midfielders, he had Zebina (not injured), Thuram and Zambrota, in the the worst scenario Buffon will save his day, the team was completed,
Unlikely Chiellini had only Buffon, when he had Sissoko in front he looked very good, even though he had Legro or Mellberg (instead of thuram) he had moli instead of Zambrota (or his self Chiellini) and he had as RB Grygera, So there is a big difference, between cannavaro 2005 and chiellini 2008! We all saw cannavaro when he had shit players around him in real Madrid he just suck!

I am not going to disagree with u on your points cos its valid as Canna did have better players around him.
My point is that the Canna of old is a better overall defender than Chiellini not only of his defending but his overall composure and confidence, something which Chiellini still lacks in his game.

You are just saying this because Canna left us at a tough time and you hold a grudge for him because of it
Canna was a golden ball winner if you just forget!
He was something amazing in those 2 seasons especially the one he won it and altough I do rate Chiellini he is a very good player probably one of the best central defenders in the world today but he still has to up his level in order to get to Canna`s golden years level.
Canna was amazing for us and you can say what you want about backup but just remember that he was amazing, won the golden ball which means he was the best player in the world in that same year (and it was justified)
Do you see Chiellini winning it or even be a top contender for it?! I guess not
maybe on of those days it will happen but right now he won`t win it

Tuttosport thinks that he will go through the medicals on Monday because now he is still in vacation in Brazil with his family! I don't know if its true..

We dont have to be as competitive as the old Juve, just competitive enough to defeat this new Inter...
Melo is not a bad tool for that, but our situation on the defense is still pathetic,
at least Melo is a player who may help them a bit and hopefully Ferrara will make them work more efficient too...
