Wow, ok, I've read some more of the rumors. 40mil flat???
Insane.
Kinda speechless now if true. The club must have a massive problem with the drinking incident if this is true, there is just no way he goes for this little elsewise. That, or we simply have no spine.
There better be a proper replacement. Not Cuardrado, definitely not Jovetic, the only way this club can come close to making up for this is by purchasing a young, close to world class player. I'm talking Gotze, Oscar, etc. But this shit is still crazy. wtf man.

Vieri was a bigger player then vidal is

Vidal is the same age as baggio when we sold him, he could be equally done, and baggio was at that point the biggest italian talent in history

Zidane was much more important to juventus. He was the main drive that got us in both finals, and when he didnt perform, it was most of the reason we didnt make another 2.
dude stop revisiting history i really doubt you actually watched us play if you say vieri was bigger than vidal :)lol:) or that zidane we also how instrumental he was in 97 when del piero dindt start as for 98 heck we wasnt even our best mifielder in that final. Zidane's time here is like pogba now, lotsa potential and moment of magic but no way as instrumental as vidal

Zidane was the best player in the world when we sold him. Undisputed. In an era when the competition was Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Figo, etc


He was way bigger then Vidal.
no he was not, he got the 98 world cup hype but thats about it, all those people you mentioned were better in that early 2000s era

Vidal is more important than Zizou was??

we don't need to sell to buy
Which begs the question then. Why?

In name and profile, yes. In efficacy, and impact, it was debatable. Vidal has been one of the single most focal points of the team in the last four years other than Pirlo. Zidane was never that. He was so much more for his national team, but he never impacted Juve in the same manner, and it could be for the fact that he had a David's and Descahmps next to him, with a magical Del Piero.

I would have accepted 80 mill for pogba , LONG before a 35 mil Vidal sale, and i recon the management should do the same.


Pogba over the course of an entire season, has yet to be as good as pirlo the first 2 seasons, vidal the first 3 seasons, and Marchisio last season.

quality wise, not that big a loss compared to vidal. A fit vidal, defensively speaking alone, is unique
This is exactly what people don't see. Pogba is gone next season, and therefore Vidal should've stayed at all costs, even at the expense of him wanting this move and us blocking it. Pogba should have been sacrificed coz he's not part of the bigger plan anyway.

He was a better player, not more important though.
Zidane was the main reason of '98 and "97 finals

Zidane's performance in the 1-1 semi final of "99 needed a miracle to not have juventus win that game 0-5 and we unbelievably trew it away in the return, should have been 3 finals there

Strikers performing bad had us finish 7th that year, so in '00 there was no CL final


In 01' zidane getting send of with red in the crucial group game, saw us eliminated from europe




Zidane, was juventus.

I was distraught when Zizou left. That time was Real Juve. Not this pony shiit we have now. Back in the day before most of you even had internet.

Business studies in Macedonia hasn't kicked in yet.
Maybe they are kicked from where you coming from, and I have an "utmost" respect for Beppe's unreal capabilities for selling our best player for buy likes of Quadrado or somebody like him.He just can't sell Vidal at the same time when Tevez and Pirlo went.You just can.Not a smart move.

After Juventus sold Zidane, we made 1 CL final before calciopoli. We underdogged our way to that final past barcelona and madrid


the years with zidane, Juventus was the top team. The big team nobody wanted to play against. 2 consecutive finals with zidane, and a miracle elimination in the semifinals in the third.

Never has a Juventus team after zidane been so potent in europe. Capello's 2005/2006 juventus could have with all that talent, but somehow underperformed quite alot in europe.

Agree with your every comment, but by the time zizou was sold, he showed more then just potential, having a WC, and ballon dor under his belt

If we are talking about who were better players, then certainly Baggio and Zidane were better than Arturo.

But if we are talking about importance to the club at the time they were sold.

Baggio had just come off an injury plagued season and the club were looking for a reason to sell him. Offering him a contract at half of what he was making was the nail in the coffin


Zidane already had one eye on the Bernabeau the season that he was sold.


Vidal has more relevance and importance to this club right now than when the aforementioned legends left Juve.
