I don't care about the money and his salary. This guy is a very good player and can play at least as long as Ibrakadabra.

Sell 10-12 players who are useless and save some wages but releasing Ronaldo would be very naive.
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'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.
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.

I never blamed him or criticized his performances and i'm not blaming him tongiht but, sometimes, its hard not to wonder if relying so heavily on this guy to bail us out at times has actually allowed decline around him to fester unnoticed and unaddressed
Are we relying on him or is it him demanding that we give him the ball each time just to stat pad his career? I almost feel like he only plays for himself and never for the team.

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

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.
You just need goals, it doesn't matter who scores... just add how many goals and assists Ramsey, Benta or Rabiot, Berna and CR7 have and find players to generate the same amount. I'm lazy but I'm guessing that you put a SMS, Gosens, another young winger and an-10-Goal-Striker would generate a similar amount of Goals per season and maybe compensate the drop in Goals with a little more assists

We wouldn't be good enough to win the UCL like we have done last seasons but what can you do

why have we suddenly got jerk offs like capello and cobolli gigli opening their mouths?

Capello oversaw the most underwhelming European campaigns with the strongest Juve team in the past 20 years.

and Gigli? he fucking hired zaccheroni and ferrara and got dicked on by fucking Fulham in the uefa cup ffs.

At least Gigli had the excuse of no money. What was Paratici's excuse for getting dumped and dicked out of the CL the last three years?

Just shut da f up crapello! Again, another irrelevant fossil of footballing world with boring dirty Italian football running through his veins. Has been a slob since 2010. Please shut the fug up and watch your pedo porn with other dinosaurs line Pele!

Anyway, I kinda hope CR7 leaves us. Will pain me to see his legacy being tainted anymore by our dumb third world Italian mentality organization. What a useless club. Might as well disband and turn Juventus into a pasta business.

I’ve been a Juve fan for 20 years. But if Cr7 leaves Juve without winning Ecl (very likely,) I will stop supporting Juve. I never want to be associated with a footballing organization with such low capability and foresight that they could fail to win an ECL with a serial ECL scorer in the team.

Fossil is a good way to describe Calcio indeed.

No Money??? how much was spent on Diego, Iaquinta, Tiago, Almiron, Amauri and Melo? What about the wages for Cannavaro, Grosso? No money? Bullshit Gigli entrusted that clown secco to spunk it all on shit, and I haven't even got to Sissoko and Poulsen!. And guess what? These players still got dicked on by friggin' Fulham! who don't even compare to porto or any other European team that have knocked us out.

If Gigli was still here we'd be fighting for Europa league at best still. Nothing but a big mouth who thinks he has the right to weigh in on matters which he was even more guilty of

You still defending Tici? We've been in constant decline since he took over

If we offloaded ronaldo ramsey and rabiot that would actually be €88m on salaries, is that correct?

Really is a no brainer considering we are completely fucked financially.

Ronaldo is a legend and no one will deny that. We were lucky to have him.

Will he get that salary in europe elsewhere? What would we get for him?
no one tells you Ronaldo won 3 UCL Finals without juve but Its Juventus who has actually stopped Ronaldo from winning !!

Another benefit apart from the salary savings.

Let me put it in simple terms. Of all the players Tici signed last summer, how many would you consider a flop so far? to a large degree perhaps with the exception of kulusevski who in fairness has been playing out of position for a long while, all the signings have been crucial this season.

Want to start comparing notes with secco? I don't recall 1 good secco signing. Ever!
