Happy to see the right choice was made in putting his thread here rather than the history section.
What can be said about this man? He was arguably the biggest reason for our resurgence. Always gave everything for this shirt for these past 4 years, even perhaps with age catching up to him towards the end. He is and always was by far one of my favorite players along with Buffon ever since I started watching the game. Back in the day this was even the background on my computer for the longest time, even with that horrid badge:
I remember reading the first rumors about his move, back when I first REALLY started getting into the club side of the game and supporting Juventus. Goal.com India, of all places. Of course I knew nothing at the time, so I thought this was an extremely credible source, a virtual 100% guarantee that it was going to happen based on that alone

. Then I joined here and saw everyone doubting him, claiming that he was washed up and would be a terrible signing. I knew they were wrong, I knew he would prove everyone wrong. And now I once again see the same comments here. That's he's too old or too slow. Once again, he will prove everyone wrong and continue to dominate, though now in MLS.
Though perhaps the time was right, I'm still incredibly saddened to see him leave Juve with all he's done and what he symbolizes for us. That said, I absolutely cannot wait until I get to see the man himself play in person.
Fino alla fine, Pirlo, uno di noi per sempre.
