Gianluigi Buffon (38 Viewers)

Honestly, I'd prefer they dont, unless it's just in some kind of ambassador role.

I hate to see what happened to guys like Pirlo & Nedved happen to my favorite players. It rarely ends well.

Hell, look at what just happened with Bayern & Oliver Kahn. A bit of an ugly divorce between them.

I never want to get to the point where I'd want get angry at the job someone like Buffon or ADP were doing and want them to get fired

I know what you mean. Yeah, ideally they'd return and it'll all work out, but it doesn't normally go like that. Figure we need some real Juventini with influence in the club to help us regain some of that identity.

It'd be great if he, ADP and Giorgio can return to the club in some way.

You must really dislike both of them

All the best to Gigi.

I just hope he doesn't blow all his cash gambling and he has to play a year in Thailand.

 

[DanielSz]

really get a sense of his longevity when you see he played nearly as many games with Marchisio as he did with Thuram.

You wanna bet on it? Maybe Gigi will want in on the auction

All the best to Gigi.

Remember the sploogefest when Neuer fanbois creamed themselves over how Gigi was nice but the sweeper-keeper was GOAT-fooking everything?

Funny how that turned out....

Translation: I'd have been #1 if I didnt spend my career at Juve

Team success argument doesn't really work. Look at the teams Casillas played in.

Buffon could have left Juve in 2006 and essentially went to any club in the world and guaranteed himself a Champions League. That means more to his legacy (especially to Juve fans) than any Champions League would have if he went to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, etc.

As for the "GOAT" debates, they're so stupid. The Messi vs Ronaldo type crap is the worst. If you're in the same company as Neuer & Casillas, you did well for yourself. How you rank them, I dont really care. You can make an argument for any order.

I'm sure Real Madrid fans would take Casillas, Bayern fans would take Neuer, and Juve fans would take Buffon.... and I'd say all those opinions are correct

I'd even take Neuer over Casillas.

I'd even take Neuer over Casillas.

At least later in career Casillas was terrible in setting up walls for freekicks. For that alone he doesn't deserve the top spot. I don't remember much from his younger days.
