I'm sure plenty of us care. This is the summer mercato thread not the Bonucci thread.
90% sapped out of any excitement for new signings for yet another annual sale of our best players.


The remaining 10 is because I don't rate Matic really.

Ok so this has to do with the summer mercato and indirectly Bonucci

Basically Marotta and Co along with management have decided that Cardiff was the end of a cycle. They are now making moves to change the team and direction for further success and Champions league wins

Fair enough. Don't want to give people hard time as I understand the frustrations but there are other Juve related things to talk about besides the Bonucci business.

I think we should start saying goodbye to Bonucci - If it was Chelsea PSG or City Id say it could have been invented but Milan - It makes no sense linking him to Milan.. So if they do link him to Milan it is probably true..
I think Bonucci will be missed but it is also not the end of the world as we are pretty much covered in defense...
De Sciglio - Not his biggest fan but for 10M he`ll be ok
We are now linked with Matic along with our usual Bernardeschi
I must say Matic has strength in him and many here really rate him (not among them) so I guess he makes sense but I see nothing special about him
Bernardeschi - At first I was - good prospect it will be a good signing but now I want us to get better than him especially if we lose one of our best players..

If we sell Bonucci the only way to make amends is Mbappe (or Verratti)

The guy had a mental breakdown and asked us to leave. It wasn't our choice, it wasn't a good moment to sell him.
Skinny legs is incredibly overrated among the Juve fans, he has psycho issues and we were there to support him and created that hype, yet not everyone outsides Juve shares that hype. Not everyone is willing to surround him defenders that can defend and only let him to do the passing. And his wife demanded to stay in Italy because of his son condition.
The Italian football died in it's desperate effort to take us down, the team that invested the most this year, took mostly 15-20mil mediocre kids and this is as far, as they can go. Don't present like it was our choice, cause it wasn't, obviously...

Gonna have to agree with most said here. Not our choice and Bonucci has some issues. Some bit of his doing some of his own making.

I’m sorry but mbappe makes no sense neither positionally or financially. We don’t need him upfront and especially not for 100+mill on an unproven entity. Talk about buying into the media hype

It’s not blind. This forum has a meltdown every year when we sell someone and yet we keep getting better and rising up the ranks. Marotta always fixes the team
Sell bonucci.... problem fixed in your books??? Yeah ok....

End of a cycle? More like given up on winning full stop

Sell bonucci and start benatia over him? Whilst strengthening your rivals for a cut price. You cannot defend that sorry but anyone who can even justify that is down right deluded

Maybe we will change our formation and use less CBs
When you have 3 CBs, it is mandatory that one of them can pass and keep the ball, if you have only twο, it is mandatory that both can defend and Bonucci wasn't pretty good at that.
We still have Barzagli and Chiellini as starters and Rugani is at an age that should be starting more and more, as Barzagli gradually fades out...
