Sometimes overpaid and underperforming players need to be forcefully removed, happens everywhere, in our case the previous management is who made the mistake and the current one is trying to correct it, if he does not fall in line or is not being reasonable then he is up for sale, and the lack of any serious offers tells us all we need to know about why we want to get rid of him.
Otherwise it’s hard to disagree that we probably rushed into it when there should have been other pressing needs on our limited budget, but can’t say they didn’t have solid reasons to act in this manner either.
Ok lets see...
You are reffering to a "Juventus problem" not a "Szczęsny problem"..
At the moment Szczęsny has been reasonable, he agreed the will of the club that wants to sell him and said "Ok, find me another club"
Now.. he has 1 year contract with a salary that JUVENTUS agreed, old or new management its not his problem.
Juventus is the one that wants to sell him, Juventus is the one that has to find him a solution that is satisfactory for the club and the player.
And before any of you come and try to compare this case with the cases of Chiesa and Mck... dont even try.
Szczęsny IS NOT asking for more money to be sold or a bigger salary.
Szczęsny HAS NOT turn down any offer for him so far.
Szczęsny has agreed to be sold, now that doesnt mean he has to give up money that was signed and accepted by the club.

Woj really needs to read the room. He won't be starting here. I'm sure there's a solution that doesn't involve moving your family to Saudi Arabia.
The fact that some of these players are holding out and refusing to leave is proof there's no respect between the management and players.
If you respect the club, do what is right.
Szczęsny its not refusing to leave, Juventus havent found him any solution or a true offer for him.
P.S If you your answer is "Thats becouse no team wants to pay him his salary"... once again thats a JUVENTUS PROBLEM, not a Szczęsny problem, he did not put a gun to the team to give him that salary and he does not have to give up money that he is owed.
Stop asking players or coaches to give up money because of a mistake made by the club, if a player or coach does agreed to lose money, thats an exception and not what it should be done.
Ask yourself If the company where you work, for which you have worked very well, came one day and told you that it wanted to fire you, would you be willing to give up the millions that they owe you by contract just to "make things easy for them"?

I get your frustration, with current hindsight it obviously looks like a mistake whatever way we try to paint this, but truth is there was actually one very serious offer from Saudi that occured around the same time that we were wrapping up the DiGregorio deal, just didn’t materialize because of Tek himself primarily and it got us to this point, context is important when you also consider him previously refusing to reduce his wages and then refusing to leave to the only other place that would’ve matched his wage demands.
Either way, lamenting about it on a daily basis won’t change what’s already been done, hopefully we will manage to find some sort of lucrative solution to move him on soon.
Again... not true, there was NOT any serious offer from Saudi, there was an INTENTION, but they didnt present any real offer to the club.
There was an agreement with a Saudi club and Tek agreed on personal terms with that team however, there was never an offer from that team, some say it was because the Saudi club didnt want to pay Juventus, some say it was because the Saudi club expected more "enthusiasm" from Tek to the talks they had with him but the truth of the matter is that there was not any formal offer presented to Juventus for Tek.
Szczęsny has not refused any offer so far.
