Don't renew Ronaldo, and don't take up that option on Morata for 55 million --> extend Morata's loan for an additional season, and let Ronaldo's contract run out (no one is going to pay mega bucks for a 37+ year old - once his contract is up - even if it is Ronaldo. Go all in for Haaland in the summer of 2022, if he's still available.

Regarding midfield, do everything possible to move Ramsey and Rabiot (unjustified huge contracts - bad value for money - minimal output). Bentancur can stay, unless we get a very enticing offer in the region of 35+

Retain McNuggets and give Arthur next season to prove himself/his health. If he becomes another liability, move him in the summer of 2022. Promote Fagioli full time and see what he's capable of.

In defense, it's time for Chiellini to retire. Buffon can stay for another year I guess. Bonucci will stay, whether we like it or not. Keep Demiral and De Ligt, but I fear we might be tempted to sell Demiral if an offer of 40+ comes in. Promote Dragusin and recall Romero (or sell him for Plusvalenza). Danilo has been solid this year - keep him. Keep Cuads because for all his brain farts, he is a solid contributor and one of the few that can make things happen. Sandro has until the end of the season to prove himself worthy; otherwise, move him for 20+

Tek and Dybala to stay. Chiesa and Kulu must stay of course, and Turdeski must be disposed of at all costs. Don't really care about Frabotta, Portanova or Pinsoglio.


If, and it's a big IF, we somehow manage to do the above, then we can reinforce the midfield with both Locatelli (10 million loan + 35 million obligation over 3 years or something) and Aouar (or someone of that level). One midfield acquisition is nowhere near enough. Also, what we currently have in midfield is nowhere near good enough.

After that, try to find a quality FB and a decent backup striker.
Get rid of CR7? and renew Dybala? lol

What shit are you smoking??

Why do we need 2 more quality defenders when we have Dragusin and Romero to fall back on as backups. Demiral and De Ligt will be the partnership for years to come, they are a quality partnership that will get better with time. Chiellini and bonucci can retire whenever, bonucci the sooner the better imo.
We don't own Romero. He was loaned to Atalanta with the option to sign, and they will surely sign him. Anyway yes, we aren't missing CBs, we are spoiled for quality in that area.

It's a really good strain - it's called "Real Talk." Maybe you should try it. It's definitely better than the "Hater's Delusion" batch you're currently puffing.
If you're not careful, you might end up getting that "Nasty Ban" strain. No one wants that.
So many suggestions. Noted!

The "Pink Snowflake" strain seems to be hitting hard. I'd only use it on long weekends.

Talk about taking a step back.

Ideally we should hopefully keep both and keep our attack the same and add a backup striker.

We need at least 2 really good CMs so I have no idea how we manage the finances to be able to make those additions. If we sell Dybala it won't be close to what he was worth a year or two ago.

I don't know, I hit the Pink Pussy pretty hard this weekend.

Ronaldo earns 35 million, and he'll be 37 by the time his contract expires. I'd sell him if we get an offer of 50 million, not because I don't value his contributions, but because we have regressed as a team since his arrival. We're in year 3 of "Project Ronaldo" and we're nowhere near competing for a CL title, let alone winning it. Of course, it isn't his fault, but we're no longer a team and the money from his sale and wages could help us tremendously. Maybe if Covid hadn't happened, we wouldn't need to consider such drastic measures, but we might need to now. Of course, if we can somehow keep both Ronaldo and Dybala and sell Rabiot, Ramsey and the like, then great.

No one will offer 50m for CR7now, let's be realistic.

For Dybala you could get such a fee though. One year left on his contract is an opportunity for many clubs.

We were a better team when Dybala was the main player.

With Dybala out injured, we are on our way to losing our first scudetto in a decade.

That’s the harsh truth.
We were a better team when we were a better team. Dybala was part of that for most seasons, but only one player.

Ronaldo is far superior and always has been, but the point of my post is that we have no idea what to expect from Dybala next season, if he's going to be fit or a shadow player. With Ronaldo you know you get 30 goals per season. The issue with Ronaldo is that we signed him on a wave of optimism that he was going to bring the CL, which is always a difficult task no matter who you sign, but it shows that you need to build a team and not just add one key player per season and throw the rest together.

agreed. no team has won the league in the last few years or been a serious contender for CL without having at least 1 super forvet in their starting line up. bayern, madrid, barca, chelsea, inter all had super forvets in their teams when they won CL and of course a well balanced team. ours in 2012 till 2014 was exception to the rule.

LOL imagine selling Ronaldo and relying on Dybala for next season. And I don't even like Ronaldo in this current Juve team, or at least how he is utilised.
What if hypothetically speaking, selling Ronaldo means bringing in Haaland?
