Hey this is my first post here so go easy on me. Great forum BTW.
I'm a Juve fan by way of my dh who is from Torino. But I am also a rabid Azzurri fan.
I've been through every emotion possible regarding Canna leaving Juve. I'm been making myself crazy over this as he is my absolute favorite player. I've done the disbelief, denial, anger, and sadness. I'm trying acceptance but it's not working. Rationally, I totally understand his reasons...like others have said...he's older and does not have much time left in his career to capture Championships. And he is a champion and deserves the opportunity. But REAL? I am now torn between wanting a favorite player to be happy and do well and the reality that I cannot possibly want REAL to do well. I just can't reconcile these emotions.
On one hand I feel betrayed by Canna and his leaving Italy and on the other hand I have to think that maybe HE feels betrayed by the Juve jerks (Moggi, Giraudo) who put his team is sooo much jeopardy and caused all of this to happen. I do believe that Canna left with a heavy heart I just wish he didn't do this so quickly but hey maybe his window of opportunity was small. What do I know. He has to think of his family and his own life and a player's career is short.
I do thank him for leading my Azzurri to the World Cup and I think he is a natural born leader that will be very much missed at Juve. At least I can still follow him on the NT. Ultimately, I believe he will end his playing days at Napoli...where he is the most loved.
Anyway, just my 2 cents (or euros

)
