Sad state of affairs

Hateful small club, plastic fans, I won't miss them

Not sure if I watched Atalanta or Juve 2018 grind out a win

Very well played by Torino, better team, yet couldn't score without Belotti who was on the bench due to fitness.

Atalanta scored at the start due to Muriel's brilliance and at the very last minute. Very un-atalanta performance.

Encouraging signs for Juric even if they lost it at the end.

Most undeserved victory ever by Atalanta under Gasperini, anyway 7 Atalanta starters missed

Hakan is off to a flying start.

At this moment, it is worth noting that players transferring across the Milan divide more often than not manage to excel.

Yes, but it's usually players going from Inter to Milan, not the other way.

Top 6 predictions this year?

Just Pirlo and Seedorf, but because they were special players
Historically players who pass from Inter to Milan  or Milan to Inter tend to flop or being average ( even Vieri at Milan was flop), we'll see if Hakan will be exception
Certainly he 's not became Zico now, or we shouldn't expect what we 've seen yesterday as standard, but I sign now for an Eriksen 2021 -esque efficiency   ( that Eriksen in January-May. I mean, not exceptional, but surely useful for the team). He has to substitute Danish

Juve
Inter
Napoli
Roma
Atalanta
Milan

Juventus leave Ronaldo on bench

There might be a chance at this scudetto after all

Apparently he asked for this, as he wants to leave.

If there is no significant replacement, this changes the Juventus favorites tag quite a bit. A level playing field suddenly.

We have Allegri. We should be fine.

Ronaldo is staying, confirmed by the club. Max using him as super sub for the first match does not mean he asked to leave.

Anyway...

Cristiano Ronaldo will be on the bench for Udinese-Juventus. Official. #Ronaldo

He’s NOT starting - it was a precise request from Cristiano because he hopes to find a solution on the market in the next days.

But Juventus have received NO official bids yet for Cristiano. pic.twitter.com/sQ0z3rO1Bk

I don't mind if he leaves either.

We have missed being a 'team' for the last 3 years. It's impossible managing that with a superstar with a big ego and someone who is hurting the balance of the starting eleven as well.

CR7 wants out of this dead league ffs

only City or PSG would be a realistic destination

Have to love how Inter is a mess and everyone is laughing at us, while we actaully might just be okay, and Juventus was all great and now their best player doesn't even wanna play for them.

Ffs

You got your answer in the post: Juve received ZERO offers

I also don't mind if he leaves for all reasons i've said since his arrival

It's just a bad timing and Allegri confirmed yesterday or the day before he is going nowhere

Problem is the time I suppose
What it irritated me about Lukaku
You can go away , but in Agust , when league is going to begin...
But especially , where can he go ?
I wonder if he got nervous after that Messi transfer

Gooooooooool

That’s absolutely the reason. It’s because he knows now that Messi is at PSG he’s going to be stat padding more CL’s and Ballon d’or which will make Ronaldo look worse in comparison. His only hope to match up is to join a super team himself. That’s why he had Mendes hitting up City and told Aguirre to tell the media he’s talking about a potential return to Madrid (which Ancelotti hilariously shut down).

With Messi winning Copa America, moving out of Barca, and about to win his 7th ballon d’or Ronaldo knows he needs to leave to maintain the comparisons.
