Juventus are broke and couldn't keep up with his salary. It's like nikkas that get a lil money and buy a Bugatti and a mansion without thinking about how their pockets ain't set up for the year around maintenance.

Ronaldo is still a monster of a player and what his influence and drive could do for the likes of Sancho and Greenwood is :blessed:



this isn't entirely true. the MAIN reason 'stiano was transferred was to do damage in the CL, they performed worse in that competition than years before his arrival and finished 4th !!! in serie A after winning it 9 consecutive times. He is the opposite of a team player, he's only at a club as long as it suits him to win individual trophies with the help of a team not the other way around. There was NO reason for Juve to keep him, he's a legacy act at this point, he's gonna do the hits but that's about it.

good riddance as far as I'm concerned, at least he didn't go to a farmer's league

But that tweet reads like he did some more fukkery whilst on bail but it was reported yesterday that he wasn’t going to be released.

Yeah apparently he was arrested before and out on bail and did more fukkery. Once again not gonna say anything definitive but there are alot of questions that need to be answered by the club. The Ronaldo fukkery was a good smoke screen for them but they have questions to answer about important shyt now.

Has Mendy played in the last year? :patrice:

Yes.

But let's pretend like he's a big contributor, and that we know all the details while taking shots at ppl.

The one lesson to be learned over the past day is not to rush to judgement. Yesterday some man we're crying rape, now today they say SSSSIIIUUUUU.

Juventus is far from broke and if you want to use car analogies they're literally Ferrari :heh:

Only place Ronaldo could drive youths like Sancho and Greenwood is to a blood bank for some 'Peter Thiel blood boy' reverse aging technology. Even in his prime the only ones that survived around him were the ones that sacrificed their careers/playstyles for him, like Benzema.

2 years at Juve

101 goals
2 leagues
1 cup

Ronaldo wasn't gonna stay put and struggle through another serie A season, and they ain't doing shyt in Europe. This was a good enough return for Juventus.

:manny:
He scored goals and can still score but they had to cater everything to him. Speaking of sacrificing playstyles, Sarri had to completely bush his whole football philosophy just to please Ronaldo :dame: And you know they went with Pirlo because what's the point of getting an actual manager if you have to play the Ronaldo way :hubie:
