Saviola should have stayed at Barca for far longer. He did so well in his first years there. What a poor decision by Barcelona.

We changed a manager after 'poor' season. I dont see why would selling Dybala be an issue.

If Agnelli left right after the terrible 2010/2011 season we wouldn't be where we are. I'm not comparing the two's importance, far from it (it would be ridiculous), but one bad season is too small a sample size. Too quick to pass judgement

The worrying part for me is that not in a single Serie A game I have seen glimpses of former Dybala. Even last season he struggled in big Serie A games and rarely was on a scoresheet. Imho if there was 100m offer on the table, he would be gone. But I doubt any club will be looking to offer as much.

He did have an assist for Higuain in San Paolo, two assists against Inter in San Siro, a goal against Milan at JS, two assists for Higuain against Milan in San Siro, big Scudetto goal against Lazio. This is off the top of my head.

Would we really weaken it, based on his performance this year?

There’s obviously the problem of age of our forwards.

Mandzukic - 33
Ronaldo - 34

Also, Mandzukic has been abysmal in 2019.

Ronaldo is here for alteast another 3 years. By the time we are ready to build around Dybala, hes gonna be 29 (Kean will be 22). And hes not that good to build your team around anyway. Cash in while his value is at its peak and get the midfield fixed. There is guys like Felix coming around every now and then, im sure we will be able to pick someone up if we want a Dybala type player. But for now use Ronaldo with wings

What does this mean?

You want Ronaldo to play as a 9? Ronaldo cannot and won’t be able to play that position effectively.

You either use him with a target man (like Conte, Max, Zidane would/are/were doing), or you play him as the lone forvet with 3 mids and 2 wings behind, like Pep would do. There is no role for a Dybala in a team built around Ronaldo. There was no role for a Dybala in a team built around Higuain. There is a role for a Dybala in a team built around Dybala, but for better or worse, we moved away from that when we splashed 90M on that useless piece of meat 3 years ago.

Of course he can. He's a predator in the box and he's not that young anymore, so his winger-like position is artificial.

Ronaldo needs a 9 like Benzema to pull defenders away and create space for him. Ronaldo is ineffective when he plays as a sole striker.

Ronaldo: I will never be a striker

Dybala is not that though. SMS would be more useful for CR than Dybala

This is the only correct thought possible regarding Dybala.

Yep

I have serious doubts about dybala's ceiling.

Saviola

I only started watching Juve this season and only a handful of games at that. Dybala never really stood out that well to me in the games that I did watch. How much production would we lose this upcoming season if we sold off Dybala and signed Felix?

I am curious. Why did you decide to just start watching Juve?

Long story short, my son has really taken to playing football and I found out that CR7 is from Madeira, some of my family moved from Madeira to Hawaii over 100 years ago which is pretty cool as it is a small island not unlike the one that we are from. For this reason along with his obvious skill, my son and I became Ronaldo fans. We watched him win his 3rd consecutive CL crown last year and then watched him in the World Cup and then for Juve. Obviously being this far from Europe we don't have a "home team" so we followed CR7 to Juve and as I've posted in the Felix thread, it'd be cool if he signed with Juve so that we could follow his career as Ronaldo's eventually ends and we could become lifelong Juve fans.


I'll also add on that Football has never been a huge sport here in the US and until I started to see the level of skill, dedication and hard work that players have to put into the sport I did not have the respect for it that I do now. So I try to learn what I can to teach my son about the sport on off days from his club team and I am in turn becoming a fan of the sport.
