Ronaldo's replacement is Dybala. 3 different coaches can't find a way to play those two together, now Ronaldo has gone, Dybala will be the main guy again. I think after 10-15 matches many of you guys will change your opinions. Dybala and Morata, if injury-free, would be a deadly duo together.
Yes Im fairly sure we can manage to fight for the title, even without a replacement. We got Locatelli to strengthen the midfield a bit, and most importantly of all, our competitors have all sold out. And IF we can find 1-2 key transfers in the next days, with that extra money from the Ronaldo departure, then for sure we can become a balanced team. But I will wait calling us a stronger team, before that happens. Right now we just lost our top player for the last 3 years.

Look, the Ronaldo era was over the minute after we got eliminated from CL last year. We already milked Ronaldo dry of the stature he brings and got the pr we needed.

If you can look aside the goals he would bring; the outcome of having him in the squad would be mostly negative from a sporting point of view. His attitude towards his team mates sucked. He works very little for the team. He is bat-shit expensive. And most importantly, he feels no emotional connection to the club or the fans. Juve was just a job for him.

Getting 20+ mil for a 36 year who doesn't want to be at the club - and was in his last year of a contract is VERY solid bit of business.

Agresti said it's 28m, not 23 (15+8). Even if it's so, it could be Ronaldo who gave up part of his salary. After all, he was very determined to leave.

We'll find out with the press release or financial statement but it doesn't matter now. >20m is not zero.

Dybala, aside from being levels below, is a worse misfit than Ronaldo, he only works in one position under favorable conditions. Had we built a team around Ronaldo with a good coach, he'd look even better, which is scary good
I think Allegri wanted to build our attack around Dybala and Chiesa rather than Ronaldo this time though. I believe Allegri knows what he's doing and think this is a good decision for the long term health of the club both on and off the pitch.

How do you guys think OGS will fit him in the lineup? And overall, do you think it'll be success both for United and CR individually? Their front line seems to be crowded now: Rashford, Cavani, Diallo, James, Greenwood, Sancho, Martial and CR. That is a lot!

Sad that we dont get to see him with a proper coach and midfield..I say legends section, cos 100 goals in 3 seasons is a legendary feat.. our target was CL but we were never gonna win with the mids we had over the last 3 seasons and injuries to our defenders and Tek as our main GK.. it was a lot for someone like CR to have to take in..
All that said, no player is bigger than Juve and as much as I like him, I love Juve more but he remains the GOAT, no doubt about that.. Good luck CR7, thanks for bringing enthusiasm to Serie A and Juve especially during pandemic..

Hopefully our management can use your freed up wage on better quality players and have our Juve projects restarted and improved with Chiesa Dybala De ligt Loca..

No idea. OGS is a meme coach anyway, there's never been such a mediocre coach given so much backing. He thinks it is still 1999 and United are just going to smash everyone with all-out attack.

It had to be united didn't it lol. Wish nothing but the worst for Ronaldo and United. An arrogant prick joins a scum arrogant club, perfect marriage between them two but knowing Ronaldo if shit goes bad he will frown over there too. Hopefully they lose their dressing room. I'm glad the Ronaldo fanboys can leave this club as well. How the feck a person can support a player like it's some tennis game is beyond me.

I agree on paper with that. The problem is that a very good coach like Allegri doesn't like CR7 in his team. Maybe he doesn't like that the team has a special spotlight only for one player, maybe he doesn't like that our team play is suffering just to accommodate CR7's style of play?

We have to trust the coach. For better or for worse we are not a Real Madrid team and perhaps CR7 was destined to fail in his goal to bring us CL glory. Let's hope that Allegri will bring back our true essence and help it evolve.

I came here as a Ronaldo fan but today I am a Ronaldo and Juventus fan. I hope that both he and Juventus find success this season. Hopefully we can add another solid young piece with his sale. Looking forward to seeing what we can do with Chiesa in a bigger role.
I suppose a lot of people will mock this stance. However, Baggio brought me to follow Juventus as a child and although he only stayed about 5 years, I like many more around the world followed the club ever since.
Ronaldo could have a similar smaller effect on a cohort of people.

Respect. Professional to the last minute. It was great having you here. I wish we actually had a plan. Hopefully we do the right thing and rebuild in the right way.

But if we end up facing each other, you'll be supporting Juventus, right? :heart:

SMS would be a great add. I wonder if we might consider playing Kulu in a central role? He's a good finisher, could pressure the ball but doesn't have Chiesa's or Cuadrado's speed to be as effective wide.
IMO this is the guy that will benefit from this. Kulu doesn’t have what it takes to play on the wing, too slow and not a good enough dribbler. His only chance to be a decent player is in a false 9 role

Fuck knows all I know is OGS will win absolutely sweet fuck all again this season and hopefully crash out of the CL early again.
