I don't know Obodo, but he is doing very well in Florence if i am right! but i also can't imagine that we need him, Emerson is untouchable in his position while Appiah and Blasi are battling for the 2nd place! so IMO there is no need for another player at this position!
Ok Obodo might be young, but he would never play that is for sure, and so i would more prefer to bring back Maresca!
and Panucci.. I would more like to play with 10 men (incl. Buffon) than having Panucci in our team, we do NOT need him!
