Personally, I do not think Cannavaro is all he is cracked up to be. Having said that, I find it a real problem identifying top class defenders, especially centre-backs. I just don't think too many exist anymore. It's a shame Germnay's once plentiful supply of class centre-backs has dried up, much like Italy's has. The only nation I think with any decent, fresher defenders is Argentina. If a proper CB was to be found, I think I would probably advocate Samuel, taking everything into consideration.
