Full Version: Cannavaro to join Mulan in January?

QUOTE
Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro is today being linked with a shock January move to Italian giants Milan.

Cannavaro, now 35, may be available for transfer next month seeing as talks over a new contract could not see him extend his deal which currently expires in June.

Although strongly linked with a return to hometown club Napoli over the last 18 months, Cannavaro may be a short-term answer to the Rossoneri’s defensive problems.

With injuries affecting Alessandro Nesta and summer signing Philippe Senderos, Cannavaro is potentially the defensive rock that the San Siro giants need to mount a Scudetto bid.

Reports in the peninsula today suggest that Milan, a club known for the high age band of its players, could offer him an 18-month deal or a year contract if a move occurs in the summer.

Cannavaro, who guided Italy to World Cup glory in 2006, joined the Liga giants in the same summer after Juventus were demoted to Serie B for their part in Calciopoli.

They think Galliani could choose Cannavaro for resolving our problems in defense. It's great idea, isn't it?

P.S. Fabio to Napoli
CrazyMilanFan
i wouldnt mind this at all we need a defence leader in absence of nesta and maldini while there are no real option in jan if we can get canna then we should go for him
Jack Sparrow
Yup..definitely a good idea. He could play a season or two for us. But it is Milan I want him in. Not that Chinese club you've mentioned in the title Riv. tongue.gif

Canna may be helpful for us right now and then may go to Napoli

Looks like we're more obsessed with collecting washed-up Ballon d'Or winners than opening our eyes to our real needs. a 35yo defender? don't we have enough of these OLD players who can't consistently perform at a high level due to their age?

This is pathetic.
Fillipo Simone
Whoa...! That was expected. I don't belive in it's gonna end that way, but...

Best short-term January solution we could find. And hey, I wouldn't mind Milan to have captain of the Azzuri team once more.
Locke Lamora
Not going to happen. Cannavaro wantsw to win the Champions League now, and this is probably his last chance.
mishie
he will see the season out with Real and then come back to Italy but not to join us but to go home to Naples wink.gif

He may be a good option for six months but RM wont let go on loan. If he joins permenantly and a younger option is ignored i will commit suicide outside of Milanello

Lol, yeah both are more than welcome. 96.gif Then again, maybe Mulan can defend better than Cannavaro. He's been one of the very greats, but is getting a bit old. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him here, but not at the expense of another, younger defender.

Let's wait and see what happens, though. For all it's worth, it could be a big rumor!

Galliani on Radio Radio denied Milan would make a swoop for a defender this transfer window and pointed out that there was no truth in Cannavaro-Milan or Mexes-Milan for that matter. But he did stress that Thiago Silva will be playing an important role from next season and that Milan will be looking for a left back and a midfielder in this winter transfer window.

Thiago Silva is important to the team but dont forget that we need more defender replace for maldini - kaladze - yanko - zambarota - nesta they all in mid and last 30's dry.gif so exactly we need a major revelation in the defense and the mid-field but the 2nd (mid-field) could give you more @ this time... Silvi we dont need big names we need good players that are helpful.

i believe that good team that gain money from wining titles not from selling shirts of famous player.

This is pathetic.

I agree about the whole Ballon d'Or thing. Galliani just likes to attract the attention by saying we have this many Ballon d'Or winners on our team, it's the same thing as the whole 'most titled club in the world thing' It really makes me want to smack him upside the head and tell him to shut up when he mentions it.

But as for the whole Cannavaro thing, I personally think it's a good solution as a 1 year maximum 2 year fix, but only if he's not the only quality defender coming in, we need someone that can give the team not just a good year but a good decade. With Nesta and Paolo both being so injury prone Cannavaro would be a short term replacement for them, given that we are in the winter break and no club will sell their good defenders now, there aren't really any top quality defenders out there that we can buy in the summer given the fact that they are already with big clubs and won't be sold.

Imo, getting Cannavaro in the winter break would be a really good deal for us, concidering the timing and the player's quality. I know he's never really been great for Real, but he's always been his usual solid self for the Azzurri. I think bringing him in and someone younger for the defence is a must concidering our situation atm

Madrid will lose him for free in the summer so this means we might be able to get him for peanuts in this window. I'm certainly positive for this move. I also think he can perform at the highest level for one more season. The thing is, if we get him now, I doubt he's only going to stay for a year and a half... unless he himself wants to go and end his career at Napoli.

Galliani, Carletto and even Cannavaro said this transfer - only rumors

Come to think of it, why would Real sell for peanuts ? I mean they don't need the money, they need a world class defender like him. If anything, I'm thinking next summer.

man if cannavaro will come to ac milan ... the team would look like a ''old players charity'' ... heh .. we need young players ... and defenders specialy...holla ! biggrin.gif

Mostly Real gives away what they need most. So,..
