Time to retire old man. You've had your time, and we thank you for your loyalty and dedication to the shirt, but it's time to call it quits.

He reminded me of Baresi in that 1-6 drubbing we dished out to Milan when Vieri ran circles around him.
agreed. he's a legend and one of my favorite juve players of all time. but just like barzagli, it's time for him to start a new chapter with juve.

the way I see it:

pros
salary is proportionate to contribution on pitch
has shown flashes of good form this season
head and shoulders above everyone else in the team in terms of heart and intelligence
costs nothing compared to anyone we could bring from the outside as the 4th choice CB

cons
at times too reckless for VAR era
influence in the dressing room (probably) is not proportionate to his role

if Dragusin is ready for the step up and Chiellini is taking up his spot in the squad, I wouldn't have a problem letting go of Giorgio. however if we'd need to go out and spend money to replace Chiello with a lesser CB, I think we have other priorities we need to focus on. I saw a couple of matches from Pepe and T.Silva in CL this season and I thought to myself that I'd hate to see Giorgio next season putting in those kinds of performances for another European top club.

I would rather Bonucci retires than Chiellini.
Agree but won't happen. Finances is an issue and Bono ain't no spring chicken so logically should be the preferred choice to leave.

I LOL because some posters here think that players are crap because they want their money and won't leave until they get it like Sami. I mean in US sports if management signed (a guaranteed) contract they just pay it to get rid of the player. Over here you try to embarrass him to go, I don't know, you really expect the player to do the right thing and leave without getting paid?

So back up to Bono and maybe/probably (cause he's a POS) not leaving until getting his money. If it happens, don't forget it when posting about him. The traitor!

If you missed it I posted where Bono has only 4 more career assists than #3 and 3 came at Bari. LOL.

Debatable as Lukaku did have his hand on him initially which caused him to lose balance but they only analised the last part when Chiellini was hanging on to him... anyway, realistically speaking that would’ve been a goal regardless of Chiellini’s interference, was a good ball in and all defence was caught out by it.

anyway, hopefully we win this and that’s all that matters in the end!!!
