He is right about the Buffon story, Buffon confirmed it himself. Was close to sign with Milan.
Camoranesi was flirting with Valencia, and Trezegol was at the time demanding out over some contract beef with new management.
Only Nedved and Del Piero didn't entertain any offers, outright rebuffed them.
But in general don't need to be cynical to realize some of those who stayed club realized we can't sell everyone so stopped listening to offer at some point. Someone like Zambrotta is much more of Juventino at the time then Camoranesi who was allways close to leaving at different points.
Zambrotta isn't a traitor because they sold him out of necessity, it was more of the cold statements he made afterwards. Was confusing times, and it wasn't as harsh as what Thuram said, but was still there.
Professionals and mercenaries being sold/wanting to leave etc. It happens. Like someone like Ibra is never a traitor, he was allways complimentary about his time there. But also because he is someone who would left regardless of calciopoli. Only difference was it was to Inter instead of overseas etc.
For me the true traitor of them all is Cannavaro. He wasn't some typical professional leaving a sinking ship. He is a snake who talked and pretended like he is a loyal bandiera who loves the club. Denying he is leaving even while on airport on his way to Madrid. He is a weasel of the highest order. I hated it when we signed him back.
Only 2nd to Thuram for being total douche.

Greatest fullback ever? What rubbish.
He is by far the best fullback we ever had. There's no contest. Cabrini closest competition, but Zambrotta more dominant peak and considered the best at his position for a time. Thuram more of a CB, not complete enough as RB.
