Personally, I think Lippi brought him here to form a better partnership with Chiellini for the WC next summer.
It's either that, or it's that bullshit of, "he will help the youngsters learn how to defend" that some people spout. Well, it doesn't seem like Criscito is coming back, De Ceglie was just given to Napoli, and Ariaudo may even go on loan. So what friggin' youngsters is he going to help when they're all gone, idiots?

Or we brought the defensive leader, that has won a Scudetti, two La Liga titles and a WC in last three years to his team's. And if italian stayed at the Real coach spot, he would've won even more and would be in better physical shape, which he probably will rediscover because of the extra motivation. But i still find it funny that you don't rate him as a player and search for conspiracies 
Name me one aspect where Mellberg is better. I think it's certainly a good deal to replace him with Fabio.

Juve sell Mellberg

Olof Mellberg will be playing for Olympiakos next season as Juventus have agreed a £2m transfer fee with the Greeks.
The Swede only spent 12 months in Turin following his move from Aston Villa. Despite an overall good season, the Bianconeri decided to cash in on him for several reasons.
Mellberg is 32-year-old and would have been relegated to the bench next season considering that Juve have signed Fabio Cannavaro. Also this transfer allows the Old Lady to make a clear profit since the Swede joined them for free last term.
The defender made 27 appearances in Bianconero colours, scoring two goals, and earning himself the appreciation of the fans, who will be sad to see him leaving the Olimpico.
Another player on his way out of the club is Tiago Mendes although Juve claim he is still part of their plans. Reports suggested Alessio Secco had offered Tiago’s services to Atletico Madrid but a note from the club denies such rumours.
“These rumours are absolutely false,” stated Juventus.
“The Portuguese midfielder is part of our project and will be a member of our team next season. He is not on the market.”
