Ok. Nice avatar btw.

Also, this whole big fat paycheck thing is bogus. Please show me concrete evidence he demanded 15 million.

When guys like Rabiot and Ramsey are making 7+ I'd say it's well within his rights to ask for 10.
Fine, then cut the paycheck point if you want and the rest is still true. He hasn't been the constant worldclass performer his fans have made him out to be. He leaves a lot to be desired. Point is you don't need to be a Dybala hater to be unhappy with his overall performances.

While I agree with you on some points, his contributions in major moments for the club wouldn't be what I would refer to as "countless."

That's kind of the problem. For a player who wants a big fat payday, his memorable moments are VERY countable. On one hand, maybe two.

I am pro-Juve and that means I want all the players to be worldclass, I want all of them to suceed. But to act like Dybala hasn't been anything less than disappointing for the MAJORITY of his time with us is very short sighted. He has been the definition of a disappointment. Not because he hasn't contributed here or there but because for somebody as highly touted and as celebrated he has done very little. He has two seasons over 15 goals in Serie A for us. He has never started 30 games in Serie A for us. Ronaldo and Higuain started 30 Serie A games at least every year with us.

His problems are he is often streaky, often seems to be (I don't know him) mentally weak or shook, often easy to push off the ball, often losing possession in the attacking third, often out of sync, often in Juve Medical. He is not a straight up Striker, he is not a winger, he is not an Attacking mid so he's also difficult to place in ANY formation that doesn't have him in a very specific place. This is because of his physical attributes. He isn't large but he also isn't super fast. He isn't quick on the ball but he also can't hold up play great. He is very one-footed. These things all make him hard to build around imo.
Yep. Sums up everything that needed to be said.

I’m gonna be a believer though and hope this is his season. Allegri clearly sees him as a starter if he stays injury free so we might as well support the guy.

However, at 28 he really hasn’t become what I hoped he would when he came from Palermo and this is the last season I’ll do that.

Fair enough. However, what's the point of bashing him before the season has even started? Allow him to be inconsistent and then criticize him. Last season is in the history books - it's done and dusted. Sure, he isn't the most consistent performer, but logging in everyday to ridicule and/or criticize him isn't miraculously going to alleviate his flaws or render you a better human. Do some members get points for this kind of shit? :boh:

Also, my point still stands. When Rabiot and Ramsey, two gargantuan liabilities, are receiving the money they are, it is within Dybala's rights to demand 10 million. It also doesn't help you're giving a soon to be 37 year old over 30 million in wages, notwithstanding the fact that he's Ronaldo.

Yeah, agreed on the first point. Let's wait and see.

2nd point...Let's focus on that the turd responsible for that shit is gone now and celebrate it together.

A person's disappointment is relative to their expectations, those who thought he was magnificent will be more disappointed than the ones who thought he was a only a good player. Sell if Allegri can't use him. Bernardeschi is garbage but Allegri can use him as emergency LB, RB, LW, RW or playmaker so that's why we'll keep him. Liverpool bid £100M for Chiesa, if we're not going to use him then sell but I can see Allegri making him an important part of the team. I don't want him here if he isn't in the starting 11 because he's expensive but as I'm a fan I'd love to see him stay and play his best. This is an Allegri headache, not a Tuz one.

There's people posting duckface pics on IG and making millions as well. Then there's people saving lifes for living and they're making jack shit. That's how it fucking works, it's the reality and in reality, Dybala would never make the USA olympic team just because of the recent performances. Football is full of players that made a massive deal, then within 2 years turned into to a complete shit. You're worth what you're for now, not based on the past. Atleast play properly when trying to get a new deal instead of expecting some ski mask celebration making the deal for you. You're getting paid for kicking the god damn leather ball, that's what determines what you should make, not your own beliefs or what someone else is making. Football would go to bankrupt if we were bringing up these Lingards, Bale's etc who are making x amount and people with the same "caliber" asking the same.

Football and all the team sports should take a note from the individual sports, where you will make as much what you're. Lose on a first round, you get the money for a ticket you paid to participate and win the whole tournament and you make tons of profit. Nothing is based on what you were last week, it's all based what you're now. Football players and all team sports athletes are bunch of pussies for signing the deal and not showing up. fuck off.

There is no such thing as anti-player, there is only pro-Juve.
If Dybala can be useful to Juve in Europe then great. But he won't be.
I don't know about that, I'm anti-Suarez.
I mean, when the poll is split about 50/50 when it comes to selling him or not, might as well recognize that can't be all just Dybala haters.
This is Tuz, only extremes are allowed. Black and white, if you will.

4-3-something...allegri will figure out the something but clearly our three best are ronaldo dybala and chiesa. And morata kulu and cuadrado to rotate gives us a quality group for that final third.

Cuads should never just be a backup after the season he's had. Either RB or RM in a 4231, with Chiesa on the other side.

And even tough I'm far from a Morty fan, Dybala should have to do some convincing first before making it past him in the pecking order.

Don't disagree..cuads should be right back..but with danilo we can use cuads further up when we want or rotate chiesa.

Don't think allegri sees dybalq and morata fighting for the same role in the team. Im a fan of morata..think he gets too much criticism, along with many other players.
