I don't care enough about this to argue this out much further, but you're taking that post slightly out of context. I orginally responded to a poster saying It's extrememly difficult to prize top teams players away, I said Juventus have far more of a history of selling important players in their prime years more-so than the likes of Barca and Real. I mean Real in particular, I can't remember... ever selling one of their superstars that they've wanted to keep.
Not to make Juventus out to have the mentality of a Southampton, but they have more a history of being ready to part with top players if the price is right than some other "top" teams, I think they will sell Pogba too this summer... lets wait and see.

The point is just like us, they let go of Zidane in the same circumstances we let go of Ronaldo. Just like us, their other star players have left cause they didn't want them anymore. You cite Baggio, they let him go cause Lippi didn't want him as he felt Del Piero was ready to take over. It wasn't a big transfer debacle as he'd had a moderate season after suffering the effects of the pen miss. Then you have Vieri there who they just didn't fancy, he went for a moderate sum. They sold Inzaghi as they had both Trezeguet and him, sided with the frenchman instead. The mid 00's exodus was cause of the scandal.
They like us have sold most of their big name players in their prime cause they didn't want them and in those situations felt they had better. They've had their fair share of untouchables.
Barca(Ronaldo, Figo, Rivaldo, Romario). The former 2 they wanted to keep, couldn't, and the latter two they just pretty much let go. As for Madrid, they don't get bullied into a sale(they do the bullying) and they're pretty much the only club that hasn't been put into that situation.
Juve has probably sold only 2 players in the past 2 decades that they wanted to keep. Everyone else they sold cause they wanted too. You make it sound like that's not the case, while that actually is the case.
