Yep, well def pay his 10m wages and he'll def want to drop down to our level after being an undisputed starter at the club that's clearly the best in the world.

Why this season? Why so quick to throw someone who did so much for the club under the bus? Have you considered the possibility that someone else at the club is the one at fault here?
TBH we will never know what went on behind the scenes. But the truth is Bonucci showed sign(s) of insubordination. First is when he argued with Allegri about the substitution. Why'd he have to do that? He's not the coach, and why didn't other players complain? The manager's in charge of tactics and players should follow instructions. The second one is a rumour, the incident in Cardiff. I can somewhat understand if that kind of incident happened in a relegation playoff, but it was the champions league FINAL. It was 1-1 at half time, we hadn't lost yet at that point. Why make an unnecessary scene?

Bonucci is one heck of a player. But if he is insubordinate, he can go. The truth is he was clearly involved in the argument with Allegri and was rumored to cause trouble in the final. Both involved him. And not other players (well maybe the second one involved Dybala and Barza but rumor has it that Bonucci started it).

The problem for me is how much we will sell him for.

can't understand how RM can pay Kroos 10m/year while our best paid player is at 7.5

how come they pay these amounts?
if it is Tax issue, why media keep publishing gross salary while for us net salary?

Let's assume your reading of the situation is correct, arent you just treating the symptoms instead of addressing the problem? Whos next? Dybala? Pjanic?

Manolas the hottest name if Roma are willing to sell him after Rudiger.
Matuidi next.

- Curva
All names just convincing me not to watch us play next year

We will get Manolas if we sell Bonucci. Mark my words...
When his agent said 'Juventus could be an option too' , I definitely thought to myself that we're selling Bonucci and getting him.

But never in a million years I thought we'd sell him for peanuts to Milan.

Now watch Roma play hardball with us and we end up getting De Vrij or some jabroni like that :baus:

I don’t know anymore. Honestly until yesterday we didn’t think Bonucci would be gone and it seems he is so I don’t doubt anything anymore. I honestly see him as more likely than Mbappé
