Who is the douche wearing nr3 at LAFC that wasnt willing to give up his number? Chiellini has been nr3 for nearly 2 decades

1. Retarded "system", even for a futile exercise like rating individuals in a team sport across decades and different competitions. 2. The choice of topic might be okay for a random, slow day in the summer when nothing is happening in the mercato, but its as distasteful and out of place as it...

My favorite defender of all time, brains, strength, discipline, leadership, but above all an endless stream of grinta. The first all time Juventus legend I got to see from his very first minutes with the club to the very last.

so from 12 seasons Buffon competed with Juve in CL you pick one game in his 12th year when he was what, 37 yo?, and label him CL choker? or do the previous 11 attempts still count here? sorry, a bit hard to follow your logic here.

hard to agree there. too lazy to do one for Chiello, so I'll do only Buffon. 02/03 we lost the final, 0:0 in 120 minutes, 2:3 on penalties, enough said 03/04 we went out against Deportivo 0:1 and 0:1, we scored 0 goals. Their goals were through no fault of Buffon 04/05 we went out against...

https://www.juventus.com/en/juventus-tv/chiellini-and-juve-continue-their-journey-until-2023 We don't need to renew his contract this summer, last renewal was for 2 years.

I dont see why thats a problem. He's still comfortably among our best defenders when fit.

Based on their contracts Chiellini next year, Bonucci the year after that. Although I can see Chiellini pondering retirement now that the WC ship has sailed. The guy must be fucking sad and angry

Disagreed, Chiellini didn't have his best year. He was good in Euro's and still is a top top defender in Serie A, but he's not the same invincible bastard he used to be + he obviously has trouble adjusting to VAR. Just take a look at Chiellini of old, f.e. in 2017/18 he and Benatia had a...

Not cool from a captain

I wouldnt give him 5m for two years. This is a Scottie Pippen & Bulls situation, the fact that Chiello has been underpaid for years and we have overpaid other guys doesnt mean we have to overpay him now when he's clearly in decline. He shouldve asked for more 5 years ago not now when he's on the...

not that ancient apparently, but a cool story nonetheless :D I'd bet on Dybala teaching him that, remember him shouting it to Vidal. Kiricocho was in fact a fanatical supporter of Argentinian first division club Estudiantes de la Plata during the club’s golden era of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. So...

Its not a shame to be pocketed by Giorgio, its quite a club down there

Thank you legend, all the best. Been watching footie since 2002, Giorgio is one of the few players I've seen the entire career of and for me Chiello is one of the 2 best CBs of his generation

the way I see it: pros salary is proportionate to contribution on pitch has shown flashes of good form this season head and shoulders above everyone else in the team in terms of heart and intelligence costs nothing compared to anyone we could bring from the outside as the 4th choice CB cons at...

He could still play a role in a major European club if he feels that he's up to the task physically, just look at the importance for Pepe in Porto or Thiago Silva in Chelsea.

None of that besides injury prone is true. Maybe the part about it being the time to go I can agree on

What he seems to lack most is match fitness. He's always been a defender that plays as "illegal" as possible without breaking any rules, it's a thin line to walk and nowadays he makes quite a few miscalculations.

If only he could stay fit, he's still starting level material for any club in Europe, but age catches up to all of us, if he feels it's time, then it's time. Would be wonderful if he could return to Juve in another role right away or a couple years down the road, besides being a club legend he...

Do renew him. Don't play him twice within 4 days, that's on Pirlo.
