If you didn't fear that before Tudor left, you missed something. We never buy anybody in the January transfer window, so I don't think that it'll happen this year, but the loss of Tudor is not a big thing, IMO. He wasn't playing that well, and he's almost constantly injured anyway. Between Montero, Ferrara, Zebina, and Pessotto I think that we can get by in the case that either Cannavaro or Thuram gets in jured or suspended. It was far more likely that Tudor would get injured than either of those two anyway. At the very least, this move and Iuliano's departure shows that Moggi is finally getting serious about overhauling the defense. I think that this summer we will bring in a few players for the defense, I just hope that we get some midfielders too.
