Why can't we find young strikers that scan score 25+ goals a season? Why can clubs all over Europe discover them but we can't?

That is for Tici and the scouts to figure out.
Also we could somewhat compromise in attack if we had goals coming from midfield but we don't have that either.
When we reached 2 finals, we had Tevez and Higuain carrying the goalscoring burden. They gave you guaranteed amount of goals. With Morata and Dybala, I just can't trust them to lead the line as effectively as we wish to.

I love Cris, but all I know is that Bernabeu would boo the shit out of him for the whole rest of season for a performance like last night and you know what? he would actually work his ass off to make it up to them.
Thats why you either perform for them or GTFO. Thats how theyve won so much. The more we keep putting players on pedestal instead of demanding top performances all the time, the more mediocre we will keep being.

I've highlighted every midfielder we have signed post-Ronaldo
Can - free
Rabiot - free
Ramsey - free
McKennie - 18m or something
Arthur - the big transfer fee was a money laundering scheme with Barca, in reality we only paid like 20m tops
It's pretty clear that we are penny-pinching hard in midfield to accommodate for his wages.

Rabiot - free

Those players were not free. Can's sing on fee was 16m or something, cannot imagine Ramsey and Rabiot were (much) lower.
McKennie and Arthur were more than 40m together plus huge wages for Arthur.
And midfield signings only do not determine that.
We spent 40m on Cancelo the summer we signed him, then 80m on De Ligt, 18m on Demiral, Chiesa and Morata not on cheap loans, gave money to Matuidi, Higuain, Mario and Khedira just to leave etc. Kulusevski for 44.
We changed 80% of the team in two years ffs, this is not a team that is penny pinching. We were never the richest, but there is no way we could not have spent 100m or so on midfield. We just decided not to and spend it in other positions.

You don't care? Well I'm afraid that as long as Ronaldo is around you gonna live with the fact that other areas will be neglected, I mean that has been the case so far - why should it suddenly change?
And who should buy these useless players? There's a reason they were useless and free in the first place
Getting rid of Ronaldo might seem like a wrong thing to do and Ronaldo is also not the overall reason for Juventus being poor but he is also not a solution when you wanna rebuild. You really wanna rely on a 36-37 year old Ronaldo?

The neglected areas were neglected also before CR came here. If you mean the midfield, then buy Pogba.
Give them for free, pay out their remaining contracts.
Absolutely rely on this guy, his career and numbers speak louder than anything i could say. His mentality and work ethic is uncomparable. 36 year old with a fit body that could last to 39-41.
It doesn't get in my head how fucked up the gameplan yesterday was. Just pass the ball to Ronaldo, that can't be that hard.
Just be honest you want Bayern to get Ronaldo

I can understand this to an extent and in general I agree that Ronaldo's purchase has hindered our ability to invest in other areas.
But even with 'limited' funds, we have managed to squander most of it. Money has been spent carelessly. There are millions of agent fees involved in those free transfers. We paid €16M for Can and god knows how much on Rabiot and Ramsey's agents. The wages we paid for these duds and the agent fees would gave easily covered for a Barella for example who earns a measly €2.5M net at Inter in comparison.
It just so happened that once we got richer, we became lazy and stopped scouting for quality talents.

For free? Sure, why not. Paying for him? Absolutely not
You see, he has to fit in to the team and style of play. And I actually think he would fit in perfectly because of our midfield with Kimmich and Goretzka he would get all the service in the world from them, also from our wingers
But like I said, Ronaldo is as well for us a "nice to have", not a "need to have"
And as crazy as it might sound, I wouldn't trade him for Lewa as things stand right now. Reason being = Lewa is 3 and a half years younger, he's just as fit and dedicated as Ronaldo, never really injured, reliable and fit so well into our system. Apart from that, he seems to get better and better all the time, he as well can play at the highest level until his mid/late 30's, I'm very sure about that
Lewa fits perfectly into our current style of play
No I'm not saying Lewa is superior or better than Ronaldo throughout their careers, of course not. But as right now is he by far the best choice for us
And as we won't pay a hefty fee for Ronaldo would he not come here. And should a 37 year old Ronaldo play wing? No, he has to play as a striker and well we already have the worlds best striker
