    Why are they wearing basketball shirts with a tshirt underneath? Fener ran out of football ones?

    We dont own Serie A, no one owns it, its a football league. Why the fuck are you writing that and tagging me?

    Massimiliano Allegri

    We have had the largest revenue and the largest wage bill for about a decade now, how is that third financially? Wtf? 1705603786 How we use our finances are up to us. If Atalanta decided to raise Carnesecchi's salary to 7.5m/year, Toloi's to 6m a year and then had to sell a player every summer...

    We're not in peak financial situation compared to the past Juve. We're still in peak financial situation compared to rest of Serie A.

    Soule is coming in next season (if coming in at all), this season adding a winger in the Winter mercato would allow us some tactical flexibility in the 2nd half of season

    Winter Mercato 2024

    If we intend to switch for a front 3, Insigne could be a decent shortgap bet. him packing his bags to MLS at age 30 never made sense to me, it's not like his production had dried up at Napoli

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Over the years we've terminated Marchisio, Matuidi, Higuain, Ramsey and gazillion others in our darker years, Ramsey is no exception. And his injuries actually took away the only viable leverage a club has - to permanently bench the player and thus end his career.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    We rescinded Ramsey, didn't pay every penny and he was by far the most hopeless of all of the overpaid bums we had. Of course it's an option. Regarding being past it - does it make sense to you? We still have the largest wage bill in Serie A. Either it's still fucked and our squad sucks or our...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    but we are, we have the highest revenue in the league and no one bar Inter is even remotely close to ours, how we spend it is our choice and we make those choices every year. after Pirlo's season or at the very latest after the first Allegri season the obvious solution was to rescind every...

    Wojciech Szczęsny

    fbref posts this opta stat called post-shot expected goals minus goals allowed per 90 minutes, which is probably the closest data point we have to what you're suggesting. Woj is positive at 0.02. Last season 0.00. That suggests the balance of play regarding Woj is normal, in line with the...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    My point is 70 or 72 or 74 points is not an acceptable finish for a team that's the financial powerhouse of the league, it's just not, you can't finish with a similar tally to teams that have 20% or 50% of resources you have and be content. It can be down to multitude of things and different...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Right, 68 points with 2 rounds to go or smth like that. Doesnt change my point, the fact that we're no longer a contender in Europe doesnt mean we should accept 70ish point seasons as a decent result lol

    Massimiliano Allegri

    In 2008/09 Ranieri was fired for 74 point finish with a 50/50 team of golden oldies and mediocre players and everyone thought that season was a disappointment. Allegri is a master of lowering standards, winning isnt important, top4 is all that matters

    Serie A 2023-24

    With Mourinho the risk is similar, a new coach usually gives that fake boost at least for the first month or two :D

    72 point league season + CL group stage exit isn't a half decent result for Juventus, I think you've mistaken us for Roma

    that avatar undermines everything you say. you could claim that the ball is round and I'd still be all suspicious
