    Pirlo to Juve
    Andrea Pirlo was at Juventus for a medical on Tuesday, and, as expected, he has signed for the Turin club on a three year deal. Pirlo announced last week that he would be leaving AC Milan when the scudetto winners were unable to offer him more than a one year contract extension. Despite the midfielder wearing the rossoneri kit for more than ten years, the club's new policy is to offer only one year extensions to all players 30 years of age and over, and Pirlo sought more security.

    What are everyone's thoughts on this move?

      It's a good policy by Milan, that place is turning into a retirement home.

        Most likely he was afraid of becoming a fringe player after Milan renewed van Bommel's contract.

              He wasn't apart of Milan's plans, and that showed by them winning the scudetto without him.
              As good a player as he is, I'm happy to see him move on, it free's up a spot for Milan to bring in a young creative midfielder, and Pirlo was asking for quite a hefty salary too.

                  He's my favorite player by far but I don't blame Milan for giving him a multi year deal.

                  Wish him the best @ Juve
