I don't get the question.

I'm simply saying that both left in their (later) prime years, after spending a bigger part of their best years in Juve.
Prime isnt determined by age neccecarely, some players peak earlyer and shorter then others


Zidane had his best years at juventus, when he was at madrid, he never really got to the 100% he was at juve. Only with France, he would.

When Zidane left Juve, he was only 10 months older than Vidal is right now. Both joined Juve at 24. Zidane stayed for 5 seasons, and this was Vidal's fourth season. Similar situations.
Neither Vidal nor Pirlo nor Zidane are Juventus legends.

Zidane is a Real legend, Pirlo is a Milan legend. Vidal is a great footballer we had. Not all great footballer are legends, especially not those who go to a rival in their prime.

Sorry Zach, but I disagree with this. Zidane's last 3 seasons with Juve were (below) average and some of his seasons with Real could actually be considered the best in his career.

Now why is Zidane a Real legend and not ours? He spent 5 years there, 5 years here. Indeed, the average fan remembers him in Real's jersey because it was the first Galactico team and he finished his career there. But in that case, I'm pretty sure that in the future many will have Juve's colors in mind when they think of Pirlo. And the beard, of course :D
Imo it's possible a player to be a legend of more than one team. Like Maradona, for example. Both Napoli and his first team in Argentina consider him a legend of theirs.

Juve legends don't try to lure Juve's best players to Real, while working at Real as youth coach and fully identifying with them.

By putting players like this into Legends section you are belittling the likes of Del Piero, Trez, Buffon

Can Pereyra play in Vidal's role, albeit a little differently. But without Pirlo, we can afford it maybe.


Pereyra Marchisio Pogba
New ten

OR get one or two good wingers. We should seriously consider playing a different style without Pirlo and Vidal, the engines of the team the last years.

Hmmm, so will Pirlo lose his legendary status in Milan if he becomes a member of our board in a couple of years?
Like I said, a player can be a legend of more than one team. I'm sure that the Juve men would proudly put photos of Zidane, Baggio and Pirlo in Juve's museum. Those are players who helped making the club as big as it is world wide.

Sounds like it's all concluded then.

Bye Arturo, this is pretty heartbreaking, you were one of my all time favs.

What section? Depends on the details. If we sold him because the club decided to, then probably legends. If we sold him because he wanted out, rookie.
