Nesta's heir

[Theenton]

Hello.
I am managing AC Milan. Season 2012/2013 is about to start and i've got a decent budget of 15-20m euros (I am able to boost it with 5-10m by selling not needed back-up player.)

We all do know Alessandro Nesta, a great player. I love him, I admire him, but he has got old and my squad can't rely on him anymore. As title says, I am looking for his heir, a good centre-back,
who would actually make an awesome partnership with the best centre-back in world, Thiago Silva.
I was thinking about Davide Astori, who in my opinion a prety good alternative , but I didn't have the funds needed to sign him in January 2012, so he singed for Juventus. (10m)

Can you help me forum?

Davide Astori - Cagliari
Paulo Cannavaro - Napoli
Mario Fernandes - Gremio

Jan Vertoghen - Ajax
Stephane Mbia - OM
Mamadou Sakho - PSG

Roderick Miranda, Senah Mango, Neuton, Prestia are also good young players for the future hope that helps!

Rafael Toloi from Goias and Ezequiel Munoz from Palermo are pretty good too (Raikan seems to have covered it all)

Isn't Cannavaro a bit old though?

Personally i highly recommend Dante from Gladbach. Has a slight issue with acceleration and concentration (8 each) but his other mental and physical stats seem to compensate well enough when i use him. Signed him in 2nd season for my Fiorentina side and has picked up a lowly 6 yellows in about 30 games so he doesnt make rash challenges and has a tally of 8 goals so can also be a set piece threat. To top it off he doesnt cost an arm and a leg unlike similar, slightly younger players as i got him for a bargain of 5.75m.

If he isn't your cup of tea and you don't mind a bedding in period, you could also try Guiseppe Belluschi from Catania who develops well and has the pace to cover RB when needed. Again won't cost an arm and a leg and i also got him for a lowly 2.8m

If you want a developing talent look at Guiseppe Prestia (palermo) and Michele Camporese (Fiorentina)

Dante has a lot of flair and low concentration or decisions (cant remember exactly) for a cb, he is decent no doubt but I would not get him!

Naldo is also a good defender

No one will ever match Nesta's elegance in my save i'm going to have him going for as long as possible Paolo Maldini style

 

[Lol_101]

let nesta play for how long he can but just get a replacement too at the same time.

Ryan Shawcross, absolute beast in my save. Lethal at set pieces too!
