    Yeah, I'm more disappointed on the fact that we didn't build a proper team around him for the past 3 years and kept hiring chumps to take us to the next level and failed miserably than actually losing him at this stage. I think this move will benefit both parties and I think it was always going to happen as soon as Allegri returned and once there was a club interested in attaining him eventually.

    Sad story all in all in the end, could have been much better surely, but I think we'll be fine. We can actually start rebuilding now instead of 3 years ago.

    I was curious and checked the number of goals we scored in three seasons prior to Ronaldo joining and the three seasons with him (15/16 - 20/21)(Only the league. I don't expect the CL numbers to be very different either) The number of goals we scored ranged between 75 and 77 for all seasons bar one, where we scored 86 goals. We had Dybala, Higuain and Mandy in the front line that year and Higuain was not even his prolific self. If we look at replacing Ronaldo with a player who'll score 30 goals a season, we won't find one. But we can surely spread the number of goals around in the team. We have done that in the past and we have the players to do that again.
    What needs to be checked is the number of assists midfield provided before and during Ronaldo era, as he had to play whole 3 seasons with absolute donkeys.

    Despite winning 2 Scudetti, these last 3 seasons will soon be forgotten. Be it covid, all the mismanagement, or never meeting expectations after getting Ronaldo. This is probably for the best for both parties. Hopefully we can now start building something towards the future.

    far from it.

    fan favorite and juve legend moggi NEVER was honest with the media. i bet he enjoyed the shit out of trolling journos left and right.

    nedved can't go out and say "ronaldo wants to leave, we have zero leverage besides his contract". and i can also imagine that ronaldo/mendes didn't say anything on their intentions to the board before the opening game. i'd throw some shit on the goat this time as he was utterly unprofessional and disrespectful lately.

    ronaldo is the only one to blame here. he got an immense salary, endless respect, support in the rape case, his own covid rules, everything. and he leaves us when the season is literally ongoing. if conte was a cunt for leaving us at the beginning of the pre-season...
    I think the club knew he wanted to leave this summer. It’s on mendes to find a destination for his client willing to pick up his salary and get Juventus a deal so the move can happen.

    The # of destinations were limited bc few clubs can afford him. And those clubs had other targets prioritized.

    once other deals fell thru mendes was able to get traction. the timing of it all is a shock to fans but not management. It’s all fair game since it’s during the open window. If this happened mid season then I’d consider it unprofessional.

    Ultimately I see it like this- the pressure is on Mendes who has to satisfy his top client. Cherubini and arrivabene are in position of power to set the market price. Otherwise he stays per his contract and leaves for free next season. To which he will get less salary and mendes will get a smaller fee anyway and we will get nothing if this doesn’t get done this summer.

    We are sitting in the power chair and our new, competent mgmt team along with max were well ahead of this.

    Funny how our management was behaving and what they were saying about this guy in past few weeks. They were kissing up tom him. Fuck it, even Allegri did it.

    And he just went the other way and left the club. :lol:

    Well fuck this primadona, I can tell you that much.

    There’s an open investigation about City’s finances by the EPL, which recently became public. It would be funny if it results in sanctions now
