I actually dont mind this swap, i think we need some new blood in defence, and he is only 24 years of age.
I have great respect for tudor who was one of our best defenders in his prime. Injuries has destroyed his career, so has decisions in playing as a DM. but that is another story altogether. I think Tudor leaving is good for both juve and him. Juve doesn't seem to be the lucky place for him.
We have:
Kovac - old and really shouldnt be around anymore.
Boumsong - ok, does deschamps know something we dont? Sell or swap, if any team is willing to.
Legrottaglie- is he with us anymore? if so, sell, swap, whatever it takes!
Piccolo - i i think he has a future with us, we should keep him.
Rumoured:
Samuel - i really hope he joins, he would be perfect
Barzagli - he would be very much welcomed.
Criscito - I hope he returns, he has great potential.
Samuel, Barzagli, Criscito and the american wouldnt be such a bad group of central defenders. Keep in mind Piccolo and Chiellini as the other options.
Has anyone noticed we are not rumoured to any right backs as eyt?
