for financial reasons, i might, if he were 33/34.... but 30 is a peak age for proffesionals.. theorically we are taking him at the time he perform at his best level.. and a dose of his best level for the next 2-3 years would very well help us add to the 27 scudetto and 2 champions league title.. you dont have to be in the club for 8 years to be significant... a single champions league winning season would do....
other than that, i dun see player's age as significant as people make out to be...either they perform or they are not... Christian Vieri and Fabio Cannavaro are way better then anyone else out there... old or young...we are not some unmotivated club who have the luxury to culture young players.. young players should only play if they can perform.. becoz of proven ability, not same imaginary potential....
