They JUST starting to utilize CR for Ferrari. I think he is staying and gonna be the face of Ferrari as well.

He can be the face of Ferrari without being a Juventus player. Don’t see why he necessarily has to stay with us to remain their face. Yeah it’s probably a bit easier with Elkann around but without that I don’t see any advantages for being Ferrari’s face

And btw what a shitty situation if we keep someone because he’s the face of some other company. In that case we should sign Hamilton to be our face.

Goodbye. Thanks for everything. We're moving on with the Max Revolution!

Thanks

Sky saying that CR7 will leave regardless of Allegri. Dybala to stay now.

Some VS guru said this months ago, no?

People will still say it's because of Max not wanting, if that happens

It's just clutching at straws, some members refuse to believe the rumors. First those were dismissed because of shit sources, now that we keep getting more reliable ones, they stay in denial.

Let's face it, with Allegri on board we don't need CR7 to win the league. You can give him Dybala - Morata/Icardi forward line and we're winning it easily. As it comes to Europe, we need to improve as a team and get the right pieces to fix a few holes that we have. Either way we're not winning CL next year, regardless of Ronaldo.

The real questions is whether CR7 finds himself a team that will be able to take him. My bet is still with PSG and swap for Icardi.

You're last sentence is the point. Doesn't seem he's in high demand. No one wants to pay his wages. So maybe a swap is our best bet

 

[IlCapitano]

Ronaldo will decide if he leaves or not. I do not believe one bit we want to get rid of him and I do not believe anyone will pay him the wages he wants.

 

[DanielSz]

I do not believe one bit we want to get rid of him.

why not?

 

[IlCapitano]

why not?

Because he's a top player who does his job on and off the pitch.

he’s also a 36 year old (on a team with an objective to get younger) making 30m per season, and tactically inflexible.

 

[Adrian]

If he leaves he will need to adjust his salary expectations no doubt. I think he leaves..joins psg...plays in a new league again...breaks more records...meanwhile juve moves on in a positive manner.

He has been a beast for us...100 goals in a few seasons is ridiculous!

 

[IlCapitano]

He's by far our best and most decisive player, age does not matter.

Disagree on tactics. Due to his relatively good speed and athletic ability he can move wherever on the pitch and do well. Left, right, central - he moves and scores from everywhere.

A player like Dybala for example cannot since he doesn't have a right foot and doesn't have the speed to play wide all the time. He occupies very specific areas.

its not a question of ability, he has NO interest in playing anywhere else, otherwise he would’ve adapted into a classic 9 by now. No manager would put a guy with zero defensive contribution out wide voluntarily.

He cannot play as a number nine. He doesn't have the back to the goal game for that, he relies on his speed and jumping on far-near post for goals. As a number nine and main focus he wouldn't be as good.

Neymar, Mbappe, for years Ribery and Robben, Bale, none of them had much defensive contribution.

His game at this point is solely in the box aka a 9. It’s embarrassing watching him try and dribble past guys at this stage of his career. Not every 9 needs to be some monster in hold up play either. He could do enough, he’s physically stronger than most guys he goes up against. He just has no interest in doing any of the dirty work.

 

[IlCapitano]

Anyway, Bears guru from VS says CR asked to leave, told Mendes already. I still remain skeptical he will find a home, let's see what Allegri thinks.

Dybala negotiations and relations completely blocked and cold too.

 

[zizinho]

Last two transfers of his he left early, I don't think we will have to wait all summer to know. Either way it's all on him, if he wants to stay you bet Agnelli will keep him forever

 

[Adrian]

I have no doubt if the coach told him to play in that cf role he could do it. But he will naturally drift out wide..that's his game and it hasn't changed in 20 years.

The older you get the more stubborn you become and I really think we saw a side of him towards the end of the season that didn't look good.

 

[Snobist]

He gone yet?
We could be playing 4--2-3-1 without him.

Ronaldo has absolutely dictated our tactics. You simply can't fit him in most tactical schemes because he doesn't do the off the ball work to play the role of a winger and he isn't comfortable playing as a centre forward either and thus you need to build the tactics to fit around him. This basically means you play two up front when defending. We've had three different coaches and all of them have played 4-4-2 when defending. So he's definitely not tactically versatile at all.

It's another matter whether his attacking production is worth the sacrifices you need to make in order to have him in the team. Anyways I'm sure Allegri will be able to build a good team with him or without him.

We can play that with him.

It saddens me that management purposefully sabotaged 2 years of this mans career bc they thought Sarri was a better coach than Max
