That's not an answer to his question.
You are talking about your personal affections.

Juventus have seen greats leave. The Club is still Juventus. The aura of Buffon will be missed in the tiem just after, but it won't take long and then we'll only miss him 'cause affections; similar to any other Juventus footballers that have touched us.
Last part is spot on.

Report : Buffon to retire
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has reportedly decided to retire from professional football at the end of the season.
According to Corriere della Sera, the announcement should arrive sooner than expected so that he gets a better send-off than fellow legends Alessandro Del Piero and Francesco Totti.
However, the newspaper notes he “wouldn’t have liked” recent statements made by Italy caretaker Luigi Di Biagio, who said the 40-year-old deserved a better farewell than being part of the Azzurri team that lost to Sweden in the World Cup playoffs.
This would be because the 2006 World Cup winner “doesn’t want to take the place of a younger player.”
Buffon could yet end the season with a treble as Juve are still in with a shout of winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Champions League.
I hope he gives all he has in the forthcoming CL games.

He asked if Juventus suffered when Del Piero left. We sure did, the bigger part of the club staff, players and fans surely missed his presence, many still do. Did it mean we stopped winning or did it majorly affect our performances on field? No, but that doesn't mean we didn't suffer. Same for Buffon, saying Juve won't suffer when he retires is foolish, of course we will, I already feel a bit empty inside thinking that he might play his last game in less than 3 months.

I wrote that because it's officially his very last attempt in CL not in an attempt to mock him or something but by all means continue being an emotional fool and misunderstand arguments like above. You dint even understand in what context i was referencing to that 'suffer' comment but i suppose pretentious smartasses cant be helped.
Buffon more than deserves to play the season out even with the slight "hiccups" on his part over the season. The Pole has played well but who knows how his play would be in a really BIG match? Oldies but goodies like Licht and Barza have come through so I expect (hope) Gigi will do the same where a loss won't be cause of his play. Or more appropriate a win would be cause of his play like so many other times in his Juve career.
