It's impressive on paper no doubt, but it doesn't hide the frailties that we had last year.

Cafu is our most attacking right back and he can hardly run now, so he won't last being first choice. None of the back up right-backs offer enough width, pace or attacking options which is why we are looking at Oddo.

At CB Maldini is the same as Cafu in that he doesn't have the pace or the stamina now to last a whole season as first choice. Costacurta could hardly run last season so i don't see how things will have changed there. Kaladze is inconsistent, he plays some great games at CB and then some awful ones. This is why we need a new CB partner for Nesta, which should be Gallas.

LB we are fine at and have a good blend of attack & defensive minded players.
