Tbh, I wouldn't place him in our legends either, but not for those reasons.

Zidane was a legendary player, even if he's more of a Madrid legend than Juve.

Pirlo, on the other hand spent the best part of his career with Milan, but enjoyed himself more in our shirt and was instrumental to our return back to the top, as same as Vidal.

But, Vidal left us the same way Zidane did - for a wealthier team in hopes of winning the CL.

We have had so many great players in the past that it's difficult to be regarded as a legend after only 4 years. Undoubtedly if he was playing in Roma or Napoli he would be considered all time greats.

He isn't. He said what was obvious before (Bayern > Juve), and he's saying what's obvious now.

You expect players to sugarcoat things and say what he did in a more tactful way, but he was just being real when he said Bayern > Juve and that Bayern being a top-3 team provides a greater opportunity for him to win the CL. That's just the way he is: straightforward. Never thought he has any ill feelings towards fans or former teammates. Disagreement with Juve mgmt was the only possibility.

Zidane was a legendary player, even if he's more of a Madrid legend than Juve.

That's not why Zidane left. Zidane left because his wife wanted Madrid and because we were glad to see him leave for the large lump sum Real offered.

And he's definitely a Juve legend too even though some here disagree. View at 1:00:


And the club also picked him as one of the 50 legends of course. Not doing so would've been unthinkable.

Well, it seems Vidal definitely played his best football while at Juve and like Zidane, it was Juve who launched him to being regarded world-class.

Pirlo, of course, was a star before he came here, but I think it's debatable whether he played the best football of his career for us or Milan.

He played his best footie for both clubs. Pirlo 2011-12 and 1st half of 12-13 was as good as the best Pirlo at Milan.

And he's defo a Juve legend. He himself identifies more with Juve than Milan now. His book reveals he doesn't hold Milan (and esp Galliani) in high regard anymore. A lot of Milan fans are also pissed at him because of that.

Yep, that's why I wouldn't mind him getting a star on our stadium after he retires. Especially considering the fact he was easily our best player in the undefeated season.

Zidane identifies himself with madrid and madrid alone

He wont speak of juve unless asked specifically

He left juventus and made it very clear real was his dream club





If such player is a legend, you are a small town / poor league club.

:tup: perfectly said. He's more of a Juve legend than Vidal will ever be that's for sure.

Legend :lol:

He was our worst midfielder in our best season and $#@!ed off when we wanted to confirm our return to european top, and he was finally returning to his former form. A period in wich club and fans kept believing in the return of king arturo

His "thanks for your support and patience" was leaving to "a big club"

$#@! him, $#@! him sideways and with a chainsaw. "Juve legend" please what the $#@!
He was injured.

If Allegri leaves, he too will leave for "a better opportunity" during a time where Juve want to reassert themselves in Europe. The same applies to Conte.

Is there an alternative to staying your entire career at Juve, ofcourse other than the club forcing you out?

I don't really care for labels like legend. He gave his all while he was here and was fucking tremendous for us and a huge part of our recent success.... spoke a lot of good things about the club and turin and then ditched to Bayern. i was upset to lose him when we did but at this point i just take it for what it is have no bitterness.
