cannavaro appealled for a new partner in defence during the summer and was ignored,it is now painfully obvious that thuram is not up yo the task anymore and we need cover. kovac is a descent defender but we need more options

    Why is Thuram not up to it?

    Up until the Milan game we had conceded 2 in 9 Serie A games, one game doesn't mean he isn't up to the job.

    But yes, we will need a replacement soon as he is getting old.

    But I don't agree that he isn't up to it anymore.

    at the moment chivu is a very exciting option, maybe we could offload chielinni and another fringe player for him

    aye i forgot about gladstone,i think capello has too

    i am not out to bash thuram i just think that we need cover and since he moved to cb he has not been as steady, calm, cool and effective and has never really looked comfotable

    gallas would be pretty expensive.and his wage demands would be very high too.
    Well if you'd rather we got someone that wasn't up to the task on the cheap, you'd likely be making a foolish mistake

    Thuram is good enough for this season. Let's take the time to make a sensible choice and not buy the current top hyped player, as we did with Legrottaglie.

    Thuram hasnt been his best for a while now, and his return for les Bleu has basically cut short his long term career imho. He hasnt been himself for a while, but he has still been world class. If he didnt play as many games he would be fine.

    Thus canna was right.

    i think kovac and thuram should do the job for this season, and both played very i have to say.

    For the future we could have Gallas since he is looking for a new experience(i read that somewhere a while ago).

    Barzagli is looking very good, but i dont think he is mature enough to play for juve yet.

    Chivu didnt convince me at all this season.

    we should wait and see first.
