Andrea Pirlo (100 Viewers)

[Trequartista]

“This is the first campaign in which I haven’t played that many games. In 10 years at Milan I made 400 appearances, averaging 50 a year,”

I guess maths isn't Pirlo's strong suit.

I don't think Milan meant to throw him away like many here thinks. They simply are giving every senior player one-year contract, everyone accepted without Pirlo.

If they gave him three years, the likes of Seedorf and Ambrosini would want three years as well.

So Pirlo joins the likes of Davids and Viero of being one of the few players who played for Inter, Milan and Juve. Anyone got a list of all the players who played for both the Milan sides and Juve?

It'll be weird seeing Pirlo in Juve shirt, he's one of the last players Imagined who'd be playing in white and black. Always thought he'd retire with Milan.

Pirlo: "I chose Juventus because it is one of the most important teams in the world and because they want to win again "

We do??? Since when? So thats why we have signed Pirlo, conte and Reto? It all makes sense now...

Ask the question three or four more times with more analysis and facts so he might hear you and answer it.

One year contract is most polite way to say fuck off.

Pirlo leaving Milan had to do not only with the length of the new contract but the amount of money too - both Ambro and Seedorf had their salaries slashed big time in addition to being given only 1-year contracts. Pirlo, however, is 2 years younger than Ambro and 3 than Seedorf, so I supposed he believed he deserved a better contract than what Milan were willing to offer.
Another important aspect, and possibly the most decisive in Milan letting him go, was Allegri's realization that Milan can do well, and possibly even better, without Pirlo ... and the coach also seems to favor dynamic, physically strong players in midfield as opposed to players of Pirlo's type. This, combined with the contract differences between offer and demand, lead to Pirlo's leaving for Juve.

Considering the players on Juve's roster, I would think Pirlo is a clear improvement - just because Allegri prefers different type of midfielder, that doesn't mean Pirlo cannot be a quality addition to other teams ... actually, I thought Barca would go after him as an alternative to Xavi, who is about the same age but whose salary dwarfs the 3-4 mil Pirlo would be getting at Juve i.e. Pirlo would have been a "bargain" for them ... but I guess they are looking at Fabregas for that role

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

He was the only Milan player i would love to see in Juve in past. But i guess it's a bit late. He has lost his edge and desire. I think it's not wrong to say no club other than Juventus(excluding Quatar) offered him a long term contract.

In the long it is a clear downgrade, we are practically replacing Aquilani with Pirlo.
Pirlo has once been a greater player, far greater player, BUT Aquilani is always a decade younger and the decision to scrap u will hurt as in the long run, esp if we sell off Sissoko for peanuts in the process.
1-2 years for now the Pirlo-Pazienza duo will be worthless, while Aquilani-Sissoko will be useful, at least for depth.
And there is always the chance that Aquilani will grow better after he gets a permanent contact and fits in.

Also consider Pirlo's form, hes def not a starter material atm...
Its a clear downgrade for us, smart move from Milan!

Now I know you're taking the piss. Choquilani better than Pirlo lol.

Pirlo - "The chance to celebrate the WC 2006 five year anniversary at Vinovo, together with the other 2006 champions was a chance I couldn't miss. "

Dud he really say that?

What the fuck is the point in that?

Celebrate that shit on your own time.
