I moved him to history section. IMO such player doesn't deserve a legendary section. If anything it would be pathetic. Not only he was awfully bad for the 3 years here but he did shit here, possibly messed up a CL final in the dressing room and left to Milan.
I'm not bitter. I don't even care we sold him if I'm being honest. What Bonucci did here was good regarding the performances over the past years, but what he did later on is nothing but disgusting.
If others move the thread to legend section I won't bite. I don't care. I know how I see Bonucci with my own eyes and that's enough for me. I'm glad Juve got rid of such attitude.
Watch bonucci score past us and then whirl his finger around his face as to say, " see this, see this, yeah I hope your stuck with it for the rest of your life " @piottr
We wanted Pepe and that's a clear sign we want a new CB. Rugani will play either way seeing that Chiellini is not getting any younger while Barzagli is rather a grandpa, so he will take his spot.
So bonucci wins with his pay packet and gets to finally please his miserable wife. Milan wins as they now got a WC player for fucking peanuts. We win and lose. We win because we got rid of a trouble maker but lose big time on making big money on this move, oh and strengthen a rival.

Man, I'm not even gonna say that. Like I said, I don't mind Bonucci leaving. He did shit and it's sad to see players pull shit like that. But I won't even mention a City move and last year, I for one felt like shit seeing how his kid got ill. That's why he didn't leave and meh... he had like the strongest reasons to stay for a year here.
He did shit in the dressing room, wanted us to sub off Barzagli. Maybe it was exactly him that made us lose the CL final because that's when we fell apart. He also had troubles with Allegri. If we're to believe Tanu, he says veterans wanted him out. I guess they had a very good reason for it. Not everything goes public and into media. IMO it's crystal clear we had issues with Bonucci.
Just a reminder folks on how FFP works. It works on Accounting profit and loss.
So, when you look at the Bonucci deal. His cost on our books was zero in terms of the annual amortizations given how long he was with the club. From memory his wage was going to be around 4.5m NET which equals around 9m gross cost per annum to the club.
So, the effect on the P&L for the FY18 P&L is a GAIN of 40m + 9m in wage savings = 49m
Douglas Costa was a loan where there is no clear Obligation to buy. So his cost for FY18 is the loan cost of 6m + his gross wage ~12m (think it was 6m net) = 18mpa. (note that if we executed the right to buy at 40m it would only cost the club an additional 2-3m a year in terms of the P&L as we don't pay the loan fee but substitute it with amortizations of 8mpa)
Schick deal was 30m but was going to be a 5 year contract and his wages are low - so he would have cost the P&L 30/5 = 6m + gross wage of 3-4m (Im guessing ~1.5m net) = 10mpa.
So far it would be 49-18-10 = +21m. If the Schick deal is abandoned its +31m
Bernardeschi if done at say 45m on a 5 year contract with wages of 4m net would cost the club EU16-17m per year.
Now I am probably missing a whole bunch of stuff relating to Coman (but I think that was booked last financial year) and also some of our youth investments etc. But the bottom line seems to be that we can easily afford Bernardeschi + another 40-50m transfer without necessarily selling another player.
24mln pounds actually. Transfer fees were high in that period too.
One year left but look at his numbers at Arsenal. He was a monster. And it was 30mln euros for one of the best players out there. But people expected over 60mln for Bonucci.

but he didn't move for the money. Sure, yet he asked for double wages.
100% we will get some generic professional line, but it's clear that there was a break down when a player like Bonucci suddenly leaves. It happens and we will get over it.
