Yes of course. No Eriksen for example.
Matuidi and khedira will still be starting at 70 years old with a cane so he will still be on the bench. Also not forgeting lord bernardeschi too very hard to replace him.

- - - Updated - - -

lol so much commotion after a few bad games
-where there is video of him showing discomfort/asking for a sub
-Where Sarri clearly states what the injury is, straight from the medical team
-Where Ronaldo HIMSELF said he has not been 100%
-anyone watching can tell you he isnt 100%, even for Portugal where he was scoring he was not his usual self, but its easier to score against Lithuanian Cobblers, Locksmiths and Ice Cream men
0 reason to believe anything has changed motivation wise, look at the other top teams, nearly everyone is shitting the bed, bar maybe Pool every other top team is dropping point left and right.
No they would rather believe the sun newspaper than Ronaldo,Sarri and juve medical team.

Per wiki:
Ronaldo: 57 app, 34 goals: Goal every 1.67 matches
Dybala: 196 app, 83 goals: Goal every 2.36 matches

Ronaldo so far has carried more weight in his short amount than Dybala has in that same amount of time IMO of any amount of his time here.

Per your point you're trying to make: in the last 4-5 years I would put my money on Buffon/Chiellini or most of our CBs that have been here that long

Buffon had that record breaking run of zero goals conceded like 974 mins or something crazy like that. I'd put my money on someone in defense.

Also, NONE of Buffon, Chiellini, Barzagli or Bonucci have completely tanked for an entire season, either. So there's that.

I disagree. Freeing up €30M per year in wages could allow us to change almost the entire squad and get the players that we need. A whole new midfield :tuttosport:

EDIT: Oh wait, don't we pay €60M total? :lol:
the squad could easily shed ronaldo with golzalo in top form and dybala around.

problem is we need ronaldo for brand building.

That’s also better than Del Piero’s goal per game ratio. That does not make Ronaldo more influential than Del Piero for Juve.

None of them have been played out of position by the manager for an entire season either. Let’s play Chiellini as midfielder for an entire season and see how that goes.

Also, Bonucci was a total bust last season, despite playing in his actual position.

No, but they also played equally well in either a 3 man backline or a 4 man backline and performed well without blinking an eye.

We had arguably the best defense in Europe for years. Those 4 carried the team when our attack was firing blanks. So, to your initial argument as strange as it was, there have been better players in this team the last 4-5 years than Dybala

So if you take away our amazing CBs of the last 4-5 years, remove Buffon, some CMs that were here at the end of their Juve careers during that time frame then that leaves you with I guess Dybala considering Tevez left in 2015.

So, after dismantling our midfield then its easy to say dybala was better than anyone else, however, both Pirlo and Vidal left in 2015 and no way is Dybala better than they were for us.

Forget about these rumors from shitty sources, but why would he stay another season here? If we win the CL then mission accomplished for him. If we don’t then it’s obvious we won’t for a while, we had our best shot last few years.

What else can he do in Italy? He already won the league, best player award... He ain’t getting any younger and it’s not like he’s gonna be banging a thousand goals here. Not saying he’d go back to England but why would he stay?
Ronaldo is staying until WC2022.

He needs to stay at the top level to be in shape for the World Cup in 2022.

Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me if he signs an extension.
