The ever reliable Tuttosport (  ) suggest a return to Juve for Cannavaro for 9 million (euros i'm guessing). I wonder if his return would be welcomed, i'm not so sure it would be. He would surely be seen as a less than honourable player for leaving the sinking ship that was Juve and then returning as if nothing had happened once they've got promotion. I think for 9 million and with all that on his mind, we could move in for him and give him a great alternative.
So for something like 20 million we could end up with Buffon, Cannavaro, Suazo & Pizzarro. Not too shabby  |
Most Milan fans would sacrifice Gila for Buffon, but no Juve fan would sacrifice Buffon for Gila. The thing is - noone's asking us.
With last years Juve menagement no way such swap could have happened, with current one - everything can happen.
Although i still see these reports as pure speculations. Journalists know about Buffon saying he might have left Juve for Milan if there wasn't for the scandal, they know Gila was a Juve fan, they see Gila underporforming and losing his place to Ronnie - they have a story.
If Buffon rejects the next contract offer from Juve, then i guess such swap is possibile but it's still very unlikely. Juve needs money atm. Secco says they have 35 M Euro for transfers. If Juve gives Buffon just like that in direct swap with Gila, then Juve gets nothing because Trez can't bring the money Buffon can . And finally, Juve's losing Trez+Buffon for Gila+money which will be the worst thing they can do.
But i repeat - without a transfer guru like Moggi, this stupidity may happen !
As for Cannavaro, you will be suprised if you read the Cannavaro thread in Juventuz.com. Apart for 2-3 members, the others see him as a God, as a lost son or smthg and they'd sell their mothers to get Canna back.
Personally, i don't care much. Would welcomed him if he comes back, but if Juve really has 35 M Euro only, then everything above 4-5 M for a 34 years old is way too much.
