You guys will literally believe anything DiMarzio says. The man can be pissing over you and tell you it's raining and you'll believe it. You guys swear like they aren't just trying to sell papers still.

And cmon to the people saying Bbilan are trying to buy more players need to get off your knees. I swear since Bbilan signed Silva this site has font to sh*t. There's nothing but panic all over the place. As if the marcato hasnt been open for even 3 weeks and people already need to back away from the Cyanide. We have a great coach. Who will put our lads in line. The other team in the city still needs their players to coexist and play together. As if an entirely new starting 11 is going to mesh well immediately. You people live in a world looking at paper and not the actual sport. Good luck to you all. It seems like you're going to need it to get through the night.

We are mad because "on paper" was the only place we were better than Milan. Now we can't even say that.

So there have been some links from the Juventus dressing room that explain the reason Bonucci and Dani Alves are no longer with Juventus. Some of you guys may have noticed some rumors popping up right after the CL Final about a halftime spat in the dressing room, well apparently there may have been some truth to that. It was also apparently way worse than was originally thought. The two main perpetrators? You guessed it, Dani Alves and Bonucci.

Basically there are several stories regarding the event, however they all seem to have the same general subplot. On the way to the dressing room Bonucci told Dybala to wake the fuck up and start playing, it's reported he may have even given him a little slap. When they got into the dressing room Alves joined in, basically telling Dybala that he was playing like a pussy.

Barzagli and Bonucci then got into it. It started when Bonucci made a comment to the effect of "Marcelo is dominating our right side", and then told Allegri he should sub in Cuadrado for Barzagli to push him back. Barzagli responded by blaming the center of defense for the conceded goal and it escalated to the point they had to be separated. Apparently sometime during the halftime Dani Alves also made some comments about Buffon and how the only thing Juventus seem to care about is protecting him. Allegri basically couldn't get shit under control AT ALL.

Below is one account of the events, supposedly from a kit man who was in the dressing room.

MIlan's team is look great on paper. They have made some excellent signings. Looks very likely that they will switch to back 3 which should suit their players.

Who would be their LWB then? Antonelli for the whole season is just :yao:

No he never played there, despite Wolfsburg playing 3 at the back

Remember Jonathan? WB and FB are totally different positions.

I remember Wolfsburg playing back 4, never back 3.

Even then it doesn't matter if he didn't play before. His attacking game is very good and will suit wing back role much better than full back role.

Also Moses, Walker, Rose never played as wing backs before but this season they played as wingbacks.

Dani Alves never played as wingback going by transfermarkt.

Edit: Looks like transfermarkt doesn't have wingback role at all. It says Moses, Alonso, Alves, Walker played as Right midfield rather than wingback.

Wolfsburg played a back 3 last year during the time Valerien Ismael was their coach. He always tried Rodriguez as a CB and never as a wingback. I think he lacks the speed for the WB position but since he hasn't played in that position before no one really knows whether he can play well as a wingback or not. We just have to wait and see.

Conti played as wingback last season but never as a fullback last season isn't it? I know he played as fullback before but for a Serie A noobs like me he made his name this season playing as wingback.

I didn't see them playing back 3 but then again I watched them very rarely but whenever I watched Rodriguez he looked very good offensively, thought he would be perfect for LWB role where he will have more license to attack.

Also don't think pace is that much important for wing back, Alonso played as Wingback and he isn't that quick.

Like you said it will be interesting how they line up considering they will have 3 very good CBs.

RIP Inter. Sabatini will probably announce more 16 year old boys signed.

I began to think that AC Milan should spend the loaned money quickly before the player value get inflated any further, it might be one of the terms given by the financial institution that loan them money. The new owner must had convinced Elliot that the money given will be spent in the market, not somewhere else.

200m euro now wont be the same as next year's 200m euro.

he was proposed to us but we said we aren't paying 6,5mil salary to a defender and a 40mil fee for a 30 old...

Just watch us paying 50 mln for 29 old Di Maria.

Milan progression (source: Milan fans themselves):

2017/2018: Scudetto.
2018/2019: Champions League.
2019/2020: Eccellenza Lumbardy (regional league) as "1899 Rossoneri Milan".

Bonucci on instagram said "in bocca al diavolo" it's done.

I honestly hate the guy and wouldn't have wanted him here but can't believe Juve didn't ship him to England.

So there have been some links from the Juventus dressing room that explain the reason Bonucci and Dani Alves are no longer with Juventus. Some of you guys may have noticed some rumors popping up right after the CL Final about a halftime spat in the dressing room, well apparently there may have been some truth to that. It was also apparently way worse than was originally thought. The two main perpetrators? You guessed it, Dani Alves and Bonucci.

Basically there are several stories regarding the event, however they all seem to have the same general subplot. On the way to the dressing room Bonucci told Dybala to wake the fuck up and start playing, it's reported he may have even given him a little slap. When they got into the dressing room Alves joined in, basically telling Dybala that he was playing like a pussy.

Barzagli and Bonucci then got into it. It started when Bonucci made a comment to the effect of "Marcelo is dominating our right side", and then told Allegri he should sub in Cuadrado for Barzagli to push him back. Barzagli responded by blaming the center of defense for the conceded goal and it escalated to the point they had to be separated. Apparently sometime during the halftime Dani Alves also made some comments about Buffon and how the only thing Juventus seem to care about is protecting him. Allegri basically couldn't get shit under control AT ALL.

Below is one account of the events, supposedly from a kit man who was in the dressing room.

Sounds a lot like the Lazio game that derailed us under Mancini right? Might explain why they sucked so much 2nd half.


:eek::eek::howler:

Lol at Dani Alves being a cheeky cvnt and taking a dig at Buffon :howler:

I am still not totally convinced they had this meltdown at half time and were not more united.Maybe the nerves got to them or the expectation or something :howler:.I do find the Dani Alves transfer a bit murky tbh.Seemed strange why they would just rescind his contract but if this is what happened then well done to Juve although they could just have put him on the market and sold to the 1st bidder.Unless they wanted to make a statement and rescinded his contract.:howler:

According to Calciomercato, it had started long before the CL final:

Exclusive: Why Chelsea, Milan target wants to leave Juventus

Leonardo Bonucci’s reported to Milan isn’t a sudden development, but the result of ill feeling between the Italian star and Juventus.

As we can confirm, the Chelsea and Manchester City target had told Juventus back in January that he wanted to try something new.

The Premier League is a big magnet, while an improved salary would also help, as is the wish to prove that he’s the best even outside of Juventus.

With his agent talking to Milan, Bonucci isn’t expressing a new feeling, but a tension with Coach Max Allegri, with whom the rapport never truly took off.

When the two were found bickering and yelling at each other at the end of the February win over Palermo, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Things came to a head as Juventus were thrashed 4-1 in Cardiff by Real Madrid, with Bonucci arguing with his Coach at half-time.

With the rest of the locker room (Andrea Barzagli) also glaring at Bonucci, the Bianconeri are going to have to deal with an angry icon, but also the youngest member of the BBC.

milan's total squad salary is in the sky now. Dollarumma and Bonucci earns 7+all the newcomers are above 2 million. that's at least 60 million gross plus the existing squad and no high earners left them.

They are going to sell players soon, im thinking they want to make one huge hit more, Belotti or Auba and then Fassone will open the 'supermarket'(or shittymarket).

They have done excellent deals, Serie A is alive and kicking again with Milan back with squad upgrade and CL hunt. The summer is in the middle, we will make deals too. Lets put focus on Roma since they have a newbie coach , new ds who sold 3 key players. Roma is on our level atm, despite the points difference from last season. As it stands, Juve and Napoli are still locked on first 2 spots.

The Bonucci saga is so weird. Was Milan the only suitor in Italy? Why didn't Roma, Napoli or us go after him? Seems like he only wanted to go to Milan. Strange things happening in Juve with Alves and Bonucci. Let's not forget Conte exit also.
