Cambiasso is all about movement and vision. Its much more about knowing when to run, than the amount he runs.
Cambiasso, just like Pirlo last season, has been benched. Pirlo played for Milan, which is just as much our rival as Inter. Cambiasso would come to prove he is not finished. And I beleive he is far from a finished player. He'd bring quality, experience and leadership and he'd make sure one of the current midfield trio would not be missed when absent. He's a very complete midfielder, probably the most complete in his day, so he would do well in any of the three spots.
We;ll need a competent bench player, and especially with the CL coming up, i'd much prefer it to be a talented and experienced player. He'd give us much more from the bench than an average player like Padoin or a talent like Marrone. Players like Nainggolan or Asamoah would want to play and are just as much a risk, maybe even more so, considering Cambiasso has proven to be able to play at this level. Yes he would ask a big salary, but his transfer fee would be low. .
