With Morata we would have won the final last year. We would have had a deadly counterattacking outlet in the second half when they started pressing us. And one who doesn't choke. Mandzu and Morata on the pitch together in that CL final would be so much clutchness.
100%

He would've replicated Mandzo's goal and we would've been leading 2-1, then 2nd half he'd assist Dybala after making a run reminiscent of that run vs Bayern. Then he'd kill them off with the 4th goal with a replica of Zizou's legendary goal.

Then Beppe would have sold for 220mil same summer. :beppe:

His CL knockout record speaks for itself :p

Plus, imagine him and Mandzu together in a CL final. There is so much "clutchness" there. :tuttosport:

And lack of fat, out of shape, choking. :cry:

The starting 11 is slightly weaker. But the squad is definitely stronger overall.

Last season we had guys like Lemina as our first options from the bench. Now we can choose from Bernardeschi or Douglas Costa. Unfortunately, our business model at the moment dictates that we have to sell a starter every season to strengthen other parts of the team. It’s a simple reality we all have to deal with for the time being.
:tup:

For some reason it’s hard for people to wrap their heads around this.

Good posts up above :tup:
How is that our business model, guys? You think we would have sold Bonucci, if he hadn't been a bitch and demanded out? Same with Pogba, we wouldn't have sold him if he hadn't wanted out (but I figure Raiola was engineering a move right from the time Paul signed on a free).

Just because that has happened for a few years doesn't mean it's our business model. It means that when you're a team like Juventus, most of the time pretty much the entire starting 11 - bar one or two positions - could be considered 'stars'.

Arturo was acting poorly, the other guys asked out. If anything, the business model is to sell players who don't want to be at the club. And I'm fine with that, if players don't want to be at an historic giant like Juventus, in a team that has been stacking trophies and continuously challenging for Europe's biggest honour the past few (or 6) years, then fuck 'em.

Anyway, I don't think it's true at all that we 'had' to sell one of our stars last year, given the insane CL revenue that was earned. In my opinion, no way.

Correlation is not causation.

Pls. Guy is 1.90 and goes quicker to the ground than Giovinco.
It's just that his root chakra is blocked or underactive. Fear especially blocks the root chakra as well as negative family dynamics, not feeling safe, low self esteem etc. To unblock the root chakra you must connect and ground with the earth and really feel and believe that you belong on this plain. Also working on your personal issues such as family, self esteem, having trouble connecting etc . Do the research and put in the work on the root chakra and you'll be surprised

Yeah, well I don't get that, that's probably the difference why I saw PSG as a more logical destination for him. He didn't start anything at United, he didn't get the chance to. If I got treated the way he was, Manchester would be at the bottom of the list of clubs I'd want to play for, while for him it apparently was top of the list. Bizarre.

And United might have won more cups last season, but lets not kid ourselves, PSG are still 3 levels above them, EL will possibly remain Pogba's biggest trophy from his time there. Fingers crossed
I get where you're coming from. But he loved it at ManU, and I don't think he ever truly wanted to leave -- I think he basically considers that club the biggest team in the best league (I feel filthy just typing that). In his mind, it was unfinished business, and he wanted to prove that he could excel there, and take a massive club back to the top. And I hope he never does.

I don't think PSG are 3 levels above ManU at all. I wish I thought that, but I don't. :D I would say that they definitely have a better squad right now, PSG have returned that star power after last summer's ridiculous expenditures, but until they do anything outside of France I'm not going to give them too much credit.

I hate ManU, but I also hate the teams that are blowing up the market at an insane rate. :D

So players wanting out is all coincidence?

We are not able to keep those players because we can't pay the salaries they could earn elsewhere. We were reluctant to pay €6M for Vidal. We obviously couldn't afford Pogba's wages. Bonucci is among the highest earners in Serie A at €7.5M net. All left Juve for much higher salaries.

If we could match player's demands, why would players want out ? Heck how come PSG have latched on to their best players for so long? It's because they're well paid.

Soon Sandro and Dybala will follow too so are we going to make up excuses for their sales too? There's a big reason why we are unable to latch on to our key players every year and it's invariably linked with money whether you like it or not.

Our revenue is not spiking up any means compared to elite teams who have more money and can pay more so it's always going to be difficult to keep our stars. So in essence he's right. It is a business model we may have to follow for the time being because financial resources have exponentially increased elsewhere in different leagues.

Eh, I’m not sure you and I disagree?
