Don't worry - Cannavaro hasn't. 😉
In all honesty, Niall, I feel sorry for him. Some may flame me for it, but I do. I think he got poor advice (or possibly self-seeking advice from his agents looking for one more payday from him), gave up on the best thing in his footballing life and regretted it from the moment he left. To me those who look at the trophies he went on to win are missing the point. He loved and was loved by LFC and the fans, and deep down he always knew that passing problems should never have driven him away.
Doesn't stop me enjoying all over again the spectacle of Agger lamping the guy with a forearm smash worthy of Mick McManus.

Nah. No chance he trades the trophies for Liverpool if he could back in time.
Fuck being loved and winning nothing
The mentality of captain cashout in a nutshell right here.
Yup.
Post of the Year.
“Captain Cashout” hahahahahaha
I fucking love this goal.
Imagine a Liverpool fan putting winning trophies first. What a dickhead eh?

Congrats. You've singlehandedly turned missing the point into an art form.
If I remember correct he actually walked on to our side when the teams came out after half time....?
Look, you mightn't get this, it might miss you completely, but he was loved at Liverpool, and he wasn't henceforth in his career. He deffo felt that, and I reckon he'd hand allllll those trophies in a trolly, hand them over to the gods, to play that game again where we battered Real Madrid. He would. To hear the stadium singing his song. That's fucking ludicrous to you Captain, but it isn't to me.
Same. Owen really hurt. I was 10 or so when he left and I pretty much had a shrine of posters to him in my room and I could never understand why anyone would ever leave Liverpool.
Torres took me back to that in some way. He was very polished in his interviews and really seemed to 'get' the club and have a connection with it. Plus there was that amazing song, the brilliant advert, perfect debut, goals against the mancs, amazing connection with Gerrard. He had everything.
With hindsight it's easy to say Chelsea looked the better prospect at the time, but he joined an aging squad towards the end of their dominant spending period and it all quickly fell away. His shite performances also didn't help matters at all. I do think he regrets not staying with us, playing alongside Suarez and making us a force again. Or even just leaving in better circumstances and not to a direct rival. He's also hinted that Liverpool were trying to push him out, but I'm still waiting for the real story to come out.
