He was 28.

And had us light years forward from where we are today lol

We overpaid for Higgy by about 20mil imo. He was absolutely brilliant in his first season here and was a major reason for the near treble, and then had a very good second season, albeit without as many goals but was an integral part of our gameplay and our 95 pt domestic double. I disliked him...

How exactly was he on board with that? 17-18 was our highest scoring season of the modern era, a domestic double, and a high point total. Came up just short in CL with some obvious weaknesses that needed fixing. Unfortunately we went all in on the Ronaldo short term fix and ignored those...

What? We wouldn’t have fired Max, wouldn’t have brought in Sarri, and the team would have looked very different today. Probably much more well-balanced and well thought out. We’d probably have players like Barella now. And a proper Higuain replacement. I could see him signing one of Rabiot or...

Imagine the scenes here if he builds Inter into a CL winner. :snoop: 1639424478 Or Tootsie’s true masterpiece of extending and giving a raise to Rugani twice in three months :lol2:

:tup: We also have no idea what Beppe was planning for summer 2018, if we don’t go and blow our load on Ronaldo. Hindsight and all, so I’m not going to say Ronaldo was a bad signing at the time, as the cherry on top to get a team very close to CL glory over the top, unfortunately it failed as...

Also, who knows what he was planning for summer 2018 to rejuvenate squad if Paratici doesn’t blow our entire transfer and wage budget on Ronaldo. I love that Ronaldo played here, but I don’t love that we couldn’t surround him with a balanced and competitive squad because Tootsie’s incompetence...

Morata just works better with Ronaldo than Dybala does. And would work better with Dybala than Ronaldo does. He’s a better complementary player for them, willing to do more of the dirty work and pretty unselfish in terms of creating for the other forwards. I don’t mean we’d easily win it, I...

Morata had 13 goals-10 assists in the first ~55% of the season before he got sick. That’s on pace for 20-25 goals and 16-20 assists... which is better production than your boy has ever had. :P But no, I don’t want Morata creating and leading the line alone. He’s a better assist man than Dybala...

Glad you on the sell Dybala bandwagon now. :weee:

You calling out petulance is rather ironic. Why wouldn’t I bring Dybala into this? He has 5 goals - 0 assists in 17 Champion’s League KO matches and you worship him. That’s kind of pathetic. :boh: So if Beppe isn’t good enough to build a CL winning squad (nonsense imo given that his 14-15 team...

:disagree: Oh please. Marotta was 10/10 prior to the last year or two, given our budget constraints and starting place. He turned post-calciopoli, twice 7th place Juve into 9 straight scudetti, 4 straight domestic double, and two CL finals. Made us into a domestic superpower and top European...

7 straight scudetti, 4 straight domestic doubles, 2 CL finals and a CL top contender each of the 4 years Marotta-Allegri duo was here. But it’s all his fault that Paratici has literally fucked squad balance in the ass since taking over. We are losing the league, on the verge of two straight CL...

:lol: Max didn’t ask for Khedira and Matuidi. And aside from that, Khedira was excellent for us in 15-16 and 16-17. He got old and declined and we never replaced him adequately after that. 1596859153 Agree with this entirely, but we made QFs last year ;)

:tup: Spot on.

Agree. Current management has some issues they need to deal with, but they have also done some good things. I’m definitely willing to wait to see what they do this summer. It’s just bizarre to me to see such animosity towards a guy who built us into this 8 straight scudetti, 4 straight domestic...

Yeah, because Beppe has had so much time there to build a team to contend with the Juventus powerhouse (both on the field and financially) he built with our 8 straight scudetti, and four straight domestic doubles. Back to being ridiculous I see :baus:

Lol if this guy managed to sell Gabigol back to a South American club for 20mil. Looks like he has figured out how to sell unwanted players now. :scared:

:agree:
