We have many more important problems than him, he's the least of our problems. Give him a team with great midfield and defence

Talks of cashing in is just frustration culminating in regards to him, he's our best player and we need to keep the best

Beppe will sell only if Dybala want to go. If that happens that's fair game

Otherwise actively wanting to sell him is wrong
It's not wrong on people to speculate his potential sale when we have actively followed the policy of selling our best players. You can't blame them.

I mean, why don't people understand that it's just media posturing.. It's all strategic. We want to be called an elite club at the same time don't want to sell an image of a selling club so throwing players under the bus and putting it all on them when they leave is the best way to keep our 'reputation' and the fans will buy it.

This all just boils down to one single factor: money.

Either the club sees selling players as a market opportunity they can capitalise on or the players think they can get paid better elsewhere.

Just business.

I mean that's totally possible he's bullshitting us but I'm not going to assume that's true by default. There's no reason to think that he's playing games even if that's possible

You can believe conspiracy theories, as long as there's no proof they are not facts

Dybala is no superstar | Football Italia

The debacle against Real Madrid left Emmet Gates wondering whether Juventus should build their team around Paulo Dybala going forward...
It’s difficult to know what Paulo Dybala made of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exquisite overhead kick last night. Most likely he wanted to applaud the Portuguese superstar, much like the 40,000 Juve fans inside the Juventus Stadium who did. Just two minutes later Dybala gave his only memorable contribution to the game, clattering recklessly into the midriff of Dani Carvajal to earn a second yellow. Off he trudged, head down towards the tunnel.

It only served to heighten the difference between the greatness in Ronaldo and the supposed greatness in Dybala. While Dybala has never been directly compared to the former - their styles are completely different – Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the measuring sticks for footballers a rung or two down on the ladder. And whilst those are once-in-a-generation talents that have soared above everyone else for so long it’s almost difficult to imagine the game pre-Messi and Ronaldo, Dybala is thought of as a player in the next band of superstars ready to take over the mantle.

Dybala is not even remotely close. His red card last night encapsulated his night. It capped off a poor, at times even cringe-worthy performance that begs the question: should Juventus build their team around him?

Without the presence of Medhi Benatia and Miralem Pjanic, many wondered what tactical scheme Max Allegri would conjure up before the match. In the context of the game and the result, it must be argued that he got his choices right. Juve did remarkably well for a majority of the game, but it was individual errors, a facet Allegri can’t control, that contributed to the seemingly one-sided result.

Dybala was the worst performer from the Juventus front six. On the ball he was ponderous, lacking any real zip or drive. On the occasion that he would attempt to slither away from Madrid defenders, he was easily dispossessed, or would throw himself on the wet Turin turf, arms outstretched, looking towards the referee like a sick dog. Indeed, his first yellow card was for simulation.

There is a genuine question to be asked about the Argentine’s big game temperament. In the Champions League, particularly, he has struggled to assert himself in the way he so often does in Serie A. The 3-0 victory against Barcelona last year aside, when has Dybala put in a performance to warrant his burgeoning reputation? You’re left to trawl the darkest corners of your brain to remember, and ultimately you’re left with nothing.

The mythical 'half-time fight’ between Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci in Cardiff in last season’s final reportedly stemmed from Dybala – again - picking up a silly yellow card early in the game and letting it affect his performance thereafter. Whilst last night wasn’t a disappearing act in line with the Welsh capital, it shows a severe mental weakness that Dybala needs to overcome if he’s to be considered in that next group of players to supercede Messi and Ronaldo.

Dybala is now at a precipice in his career. He’s 25 later this year, and can no longer be thought of as an up-and-coming talent. He needs to take responsibility on the pitch. His six goals in 23 European starts isn’t exactly the tally of supposed superstars, and allowances could be made if the performances were telling, but they aren’t.

The late Michael Jackson was once asked for insight on how to become successful in your chosen profession. Jackson, without hesitation, remarked, “study the greats, and become greater.”

It’s advice Paulo Dybala could do well to heed, starting with re-watching last night’s masterclass from Ronaldo.

I honestly don't know which game this dude was watching.

Perhaps. But Dybala is getting ripped from all directions

Dybala had a decent game and was extremely unlucky with the second yellow card. There have been lots of games when he deserved a lot of criticism. Last night really wasn't one of them. Dybala, along with Costa, was one of the few players trying to make something happen for us.

Maybe the criticism is a good thing going forward.

We all need to stop throwing terms like 'World class' around with the likes of Dybala. He sometimes goes missing in the travesty of a league that is Serie A. And his CL performances against Madrid are something that i'd expect from a nobody. He ain't World Class and has a long way to go. That title is reserved for players who even on bad days don't go missing completely and fuck everything up.

The 2nd yellow was a horrible call.

But what I can’t stand is simulation like he got caught red handed doing.

"Trying to make something happen" Lmao is that what constitutes being a World Class player for us


Yeah he made something happen alright, spoofed two great FK chances by hitting the wall twice, threw himself over in a goal scoring position trying to milk a PK for a non-incident against a team everybody knows has refereeing favours in big games and then gets sent off unnecessarily.

Bravo, definitely deserves no criticism at all. Easily our best player on the night.


Any non Juventus forum would fucking roast people for being that delusional.

Yeah, the simulation was annoying. And it wasn't the first time this season either.

You don't like him. And apparently you can't be objective because you don't like him. That's unfortunate.

I don't like his ridiculous inconsistency. And I don't like that we're pushing him as the face of the team and the focal point in attack when he can't even consistently pull off a decent first touch and struggles to make simple passes.
