IMO i wouldn’t disagree with that policy either as it got us some really good players over time that contributed a lot to our overall success, however it does need to be a good balance between bringing in some hot prospects along with some of the bargains that we could eventually pull off because i do also think that we might’ve finally learned our lesson when it comes to getting players that are on high wages, with no resale value and on high sign-on fee’s, it would again be really short sighted.
I guess time will tell.

Why rookie section? The arguments are missing. Sounds like we have some butthurt fans. He offered 120% till last minute and what do we REALLY know about the timelines and when he uttered his wish to leave and how he did so. For all we know and have seen over the last 5-6 years, our management have sucked with transfers and planning, so its more likely them to have messed up once again.
Regarding his legacy being forgotten, then its probably just wishful thinking of you. His period will most likely be remembered and talked more about, than half of our current club legends. His output was among the bests here, and simply having had the top 3 player of all time if not THE best, is something that will be remembered by many people. I dont really understand what more we could expect from Ronaldo, I would say he did his part, he believed in us and the project, but the project shattered and we fell far behind the competition. Its childish to get butthurt and blame it on Ronaldo. The club failed to convert and now we have a lot of work to do to get back to where we belong.

CR7 fanboys campaigning for legend status on Tuz 
Being a legend is not just about the numbers you put up. It’s about embodying the Juve spirit, connecting with the fans and loving the club. Ronaldo showed with his abrupt departure that he never really cared for the club or for the fans.
Which is why Simone Padoin will be more highly regarded than CR7 by many Juve fans.

Yep, fair enough, that its a lot about how likeable a player is.
But for Padoin, joining Juventus is also the utmost he can accomplish in his career (and ever got close to). Ronaldo is a player on another level, coming from consecutive CL wins. He has completely different ambitions and expectations. The personal sacrifices he MIGHT have made on a sporting level (not talking monetarily) by staying here 3 seasons and enduring Sarri and Pirlo!?, one can argue that they are at the level of the "sacrifices" of players like Padoin and Marchisio who had a very comfortable time here and were probably more okay with status-quo. Anyway, the fucker is gone and we need some fresh blood coming in. Will be an interesting season with all the changes in Serie A.

The amount of people crazy about Ronaldo is huge. Lots of them blamed Juve since Allegri's last term for not providing a good team for Ronaldo to win. I don't blame the team as I know sometimes we had bad management. Shit happens. I never like Ronaldo too much. I admitted him and Messi are GOATs before he played for us.
With all due respect, talk for yourself.
The only thing many of us will remember is the first season and the Atl.Madrid game , i tip my hat to that, then the next relevant thing that comes to mind aside from the goalscoring stats is how we got the most expensive player in our history with wages higher than 10players put together and still interrupted our Scudetto dominance while almost missing out on the Top 4 in Seria A, reaching the UCL spots in a game that he decided to sit out with Chiesa bossing it from start to finish to win us the game and luckily we’ve got a Farraoni guy from Hellas Verona to save our ass in the Napoli game. That aside, ofc his goals tally will be remembered and nobody is complaining about that, however solely blaming the coaches, management and rest of the players for our shortcomings is exactly what defines a CR7 fanboy in his entirety. Ofc we are gratefull to have had him here with us and the management could have made some better choices regarding building the team around him but there’s no denying that many real Juventus fans have been disappointed with his primadonna ethics and are just as happy to finally see him go so we can start to rebuild a real team under a real coach, his contributions will never be forgotten just as much as the way,timing and state that he decided to leave us at.
I don’t know how you and others dont see that it is not normal to have a player that decides himself when and not to play or who to play with or when or not to come off against all tactical decisions, unless he fricking wins you games all by himself ofc, which wasn’t the case here either other than a few exceptions where for example among others the hattrick against Atl. Madrid has been just as much of a perfect match by the team as a whole as it was a CR7 masterclass, let’s not ignore tho that each and every game that he didn’t score or wasn’t in the center of attention he had cost us points with his poor dribbling and bad first touch that continuously kept us on our toes and susceptible to quick counters, while his attitude on the pitch when things didn’t go his way has made sure to ruin any team harmony and cohesiveness that we migh have been working on.
So yeah, it’s pointless because there’s always two versions to the story, and stats don’t always show the whole picture, i am happy that he chose us when he did and i admire his work ethic and proffesionalism in training but that’s just about it, he was supposed to be the cherry on the cake and he eventually wasn’t, maybe it was the cake that wasn’t put together well but what remains in the end is that he ended up contributing just as much to our downfall and there was no point into keeping hold of him at this stage.

Ronaldo's stay was magical. I enjoyed the 'Siuuus' every time he scored and his performances. However, he did not achieve what he brought to do; the CL. For this reason, he cannot be a Juventus legend. Tevez on the other hand felt more like a legend because he dragged us all the way to the CL final back in 2015. Not that I am blaming Ronaldo or saying Tevez is better.
