We don't have to build anything around Dybala.

Dybala can be a useful addition to the team but we don't have to build around him.

Dybala can be subbed if he's playing badly. Dybala can be benched if he's in poor form. We can take Dybala off free kicks if he keeps hitting the wall, etc...

That's the fundamental difference between Ronaldo and Dybala, and why I would rather keep Dybala than Ronaldo.
What formation/position though? We struggle trying to find the ideal position for him. Only Sarri seemed to be able to get the best out of him last season and before that was hot and cold for some time.

Per the subbing part - we've seen his reactions when he gets yanked. He doesn't handle it well. So, the big question is, how do we play him to get the best out of his skillset?

Exactly how we played him before Ronaldo arrived. His best season was 2017/18 by the way, under Allegri.

Regarding his substitution reactions, Dybala doesn't like getting subbed (no one does) but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter because he's not bigger than the team. He can have his sulk on the bench and we move on.

This is the last summer where we can actually cash in on him or swap him for a decent player. If he end up staying we will be stuck with him forever and he will leave at 33 with contract termination.
I have a feeling that we want to sell him but it all depends on the demand. If there are suitors for him we will jump in the opportunity to get rid of him.

If not, we are pretty much screwed.

Think he will still get a lot of interest and the club will accept offers even if they are lower than we all think they should be. Wont be the first time this has happened.

The team has been worse off with him sitting on the sidelines. While midfield is most important to fix I can't help but think we will fix the midfield and weaken the attack with cheap buys and expect ronaldo to play 90 mins 3 times a week and save our asses.

I never blamed Ronaldo for our exit. I just think that his wages are crippling the club financially and he's not doing enough on the pitch to justify them.
If the club budges to Dybala's demands, it could be the same thing all over again. A player that doesn't deserve 10-15m net can very well hold the club back too.

Tough decisions to be made by the club. The squad needs further rebuilding while the books look beyond bad at the moment.

if i didn't know any better i'd have thought dybala was some abysmal goal scorer for juve like quag or matri or zaza, not someone who has scored so many goals through the years.

You know there is other reasons bar footballing reasons why Ronaldo earns the wages he does ? he sells the most kits, he is the most followed guy on instagram and a juventus vs crotone for example does 7.2 million views on youtube while other big matches struggle to make even a million.Thats all great stuff he brings the club and league.

As for not doing enough on the pitch? only Lewa has more league goals than him this year and he's only just behind lewa and haaland in overall goals with less games over the other attackers like salah/mbappe etc. he is 3rd or 4th in juventus knockout round goals in history already and on like a goal per game since he's time here.

He was shit the other night and a pussy in the wall but lets make up rubbish that the guy has not been performing great for the club and forgot that in the other knockout games he more than pulled hes weight because then your no different then the other posters that say dybala has done nothing for the club.

Dybala has to go. Lost against Porto without him.. Rushed back against Lyon and played in one leg. Don't you see the pattern, he's the one to blame.

I would like to do a little venn diagram between those strong Paulo's haters and hard Pipa's supporters. I bet is pretty high the interception and that alone shout out loud everything you need to know about their opinion in general. Pointless
