QUOTE Milan To Make Last-Minute Cannavaro Swoop? (IMG:http://revistainvicto.uol.com.br/imagens/materia/cannavaro01.jpg) There are growing rumours in both Italy and Spain, that Azzurri skipper Fabio Cannavaro could be sold to AC Milan before the end of the transfer window closes this Friday. The 33-year-old centreback has repeated on many occasions already this summer that he has his heart set on staying at Real Madrid, but according to the latest reports a last-minute transfer cannot be ruled out. Chelsea and Juventus both failed to make much headway in their bid to secure the services of Cannavaro, but AC Milan are said to hold the best cards despite having entered the frame late. Real’s official line is that the World Cup winner and current World Player of the Year is not for sale, but word is that an offer in the region of 7m euro could change that stance very quickly. http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=397518 He'll be 34 in 1 month. And I think if he returns to Italy he'll go to "his Napoli". Many rumours are linking this to the one of Alves-Madrid (Ramos would go to the CB place). I dunno... I'd probably take him. What do you think? |

I call dibs if we do take him. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
He's the right age for Milan. That said, the sentimentalist in me wouldn't at all mind seeing him play for Napoli. But if the opportunity is there to have him at Milan for a year or two? I say go for it. |

Yeah i agree, he still has one maybe two years left at the top level, we can get him then later release him to Napoli or wherever he wants to go |

Sign him! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
A two-year contract... then let him decide if he wants to retire at Milan or go to Napoli... |

I wouldn't say no to Canna, he and Nesta played great together for Italy and he still has 2 - 3 years left in him.
Oddo--Canna--Nesta--Janku That would be a good backline and Paolo can play when he is ready and not pushed in and aggrevating his knees with too much games when someone gets injured |

With Maldini and Nesta, it is really hard choosing which one to bench (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Sure he is old, but Maldini isn't young either and if Costacurta could play till 40 at the highest level, then I believe Fabio can do the same too (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) |

I'd love to see Cannavaro in Milan.
We need some more defenders and Cannavaro would be really great (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) So just sign him!!! But I don't think Real will let him go... |

If so, we would need to release Simic and I don't sure if Kaladze will accept being 4th choice. So i don't think Milan will go for it.
We need someone world class who can replace (try to. nobody can) Paolo next season in a long run (relatively young). Canna will be 35 next summer and in the best case will have one good year left in him (as a starter). This post has been edited by mishale: Aug 29 2007, 06:07 PM |

Agree 100%,..it would be the ultimate Azzuri defensive line-up of the last decade and more,.. Same goes with me - somehow I want Napoli at least to be a mid-table team cause of their great history, and of course Fabio fits in as their captian. If Riqueleme too would join them,.. But then again,..Fabio is 34 and still wants some CL success. He has not much time left, and Milan is probably the only place he would litterary get time for that,..

What Warchant said.
I'll admit that a part of my reasoning for wanting to see Cannavaro in Milan is to get him OUT of Madrid. That place does horrible things to good players and the Captain of the Azzurri deserves better. |

Carlos, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, McManaman, Casillas, van Nistelrooy all played well for Real in my opinion. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Just shows how high the expectations are at Madrid, score 2 goals every 3 games and it's still not good enough. |

Canna would be good in Milan. I mean he's better than our central defenders except Nesta if you ask me. He has serie A experience. And he is a iconic player for Italy. It would be nice to see him come but its really the media trying milk this transfer ordeal before the window closes.
