Because they told you so?

Majority of people says he'd be bad in 4 man defense. Yet most of the clubs play 4 man defense formation, so why would they buy him.
But even if we're not willing to sell, which I doubt, that wouldn't prevent other clubs from making offers and it seems that no one is interested; we're stuck with him, unfortunately, just hope he gets moved to the bench next year.

One of the biggest reasons why I'd love to see 4-3-3 is seeing him benched. I'd love to see wingers and wide play, but seeing him out of starting XI would be just as fulfilling for me. Not even Grygera used to annoy me this much and he REALLY used to annoy me.

And if we move to 4-3-3 then I don't see any reason whatsoever that he keeps starting simply because both Chiellini and Barzagli offer way more than the useless Bonucci.

Hopefully MU buys Miranda and City goes for Benatia. Then Barca comes after Bonucci :p He'd suit the with his defending and ball skills :D

Seriously there are some movements for defenders this summer and there's no interest in him? None?

Has there been any indication that the board or Conte is willing to sell him? Has there been any real indicatation that we want to transform towards a 4-man backline permanently? There's some talk of a "Plan B", but as it stands now, for everything we know we are planning to rely on the 3-5-2 for our primary formation.

As it stands now, the foundations on which one might argue that we are looking to sell Bonucci are the same as when arguing we want to sell Chiellini or Tevez. Pure speculation.

I feel ya bro. That Benfca game when Conte pulled him out for a straight swap for Giovinco, was one of the most fulfilling moments of last season for me. I honestly didn't give a fvck if that would've worked or not, just seeing that turd off the pitch for an attacker filled me with immense joy.

There never is or else they'd create an awful atmosphere within the club.

We always have some garbage players who never wanted, so they stayed here for a long time. That doesn't mean club wants them to stay -- but clubs are not interested to buy. We had many those cases, players who are described plain bad, yet were here for a long time.

I'm not saying that we won't sell, or even that we shouldn't sell him - just that as far as anyone of us knows, there are no plans whatsoever to sell him. Of course I don't expect Marotta to come out and say that Juve wants to ship him off, but normally there are a couple of indicators or credible sources (Di Marzio and the likes) suggesting if a club is offering a player on the market. None of them exist in this situation.

On top of that, there are no believeable sources reporting any negotiations or offers concerning Bonucci, and it would surprise me very much if he indeed gets sold in the summer.

What the hell are you talkin about?!!! Do you see any personal reasons for me wanting him out? When someone is a liability and is obviously blocking the progress of your team is a whole (at least in my opinion), wanting him out is hating on one of "Our" players? like that's something sacred?

You basically said that you'd rather see Juventus lose without Bonucci than winning with him. If we assume that you're a Juve fan, and would like to see Juve do well, then you would willingly sacrifice your joy if it means misfortune for Bonucci. If this doesn't classify as hate, I don't know what does.

:lol2: You keep telling yourself that. If I wanted to engage into dumbass arguments with people like you, my post count would've been waaaay higher than what it is now.

Atletico Madrid CEO Angel Gil Marin has warned the rest of Europe they do not need to sell any of their star players for financial reasons.

A host of Atletico's key men have been linked with moves away from the Vicente Calderon after an impressive season that saw them win La Liga and reach the Champions League final.

Despite boasting significantly less financial muscle than league rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona, Marin says they have no need to sell their prized assets.

He also hinted there could be new and improved contracts for some of their better players - with the likes of Diego Costa, Miranda and Raul Garcia all reported to be on the radar of some of Europe's top clubs.

"Our club does not need to sell any member of the first-team squad to improve the balance sheet," he told Atletico's official website.

"We understand why other clubs are interested in our players, as it is normal after the season we have just had that the most powerful clubs in the world are interested in them.

"We also understand that the players that have been key to our great season will want to improve and we are ready to improve their contracts within the possibilities of this club."

Costa has reportedly been the subject of close interest from Premier League club Chelsea after a season that saw him score 36 goals in all competitions.

Speaking about any players who wish to leave, he stated Atleti would not be rushed into cheap sales.

"For those who do not want to continue, we can only point them in the direction of their release clauses," he added.

"Those who want to leave the club must do so against the wishes of Atletico."
