I still think Cavani is a bad idea. He's a physical player, and physical players decline early. He's already 28. He's got, what? 2 seasons at peak form, which he hasn't reached since Napoli? Paying 40-50m for a physical 28 year old who has less creativity in his body than Lichtsteiner. And he...

Cavani is way too expensive for just an upgrade on #9 position. If 40-50 million are spent, you want a player who can also create for others, in addition to scoring. Higuain is money much better spent. About a year younger and much more versatile.

It's about spending smart not just about earning. Juventus also have the prestige teams like Liverpool and Arsenal don't have at the moment.

Cavani has 1 assist in the league, Lichtsteiner 4, Higuain 7, Tevez 7, Benzema 10, Suarez 15. Cavani plays in the weakest out of all the leagues. Even if you believe that playing in the wing (which he only plays a part of the time) is harming his goals. What's harming his assists? Tevez is a...

Lichtsteiner has 4 times the number of assists Cavani has in the league. Enough said.

Higuain went to Napoli because of CL and Benitez. Both of which are faint possibilities next season. Juventus and Arsenal are frontrunners imo.

Too many people have a world class image of Napoli's Cavani in their head. Go on the PSG board's and see how much they want Cavani to leave. The guy went like 3 months without scoring in the league. Guy can't deliver day in and out for a top team.

Benzema in a hypothetical world, but if Napoli don't make CL, Higuain is leaving. Higuain can create for others, unlike Cavani.

Both Cavani and Lewandowski are overrated and wasteful as shit. Their performances don't live up to their names. Lewandowski is a better passer than Cavani, but Cavani provides more tenacity and physicality. It will be next to impossible to find Tevez' heir. I think snapping Higuain from...

Letting Pogba go without getting Verratti is pure stupidity. If Juve can get Gungdogan, it's different. But without having a one for one replacement, that money's not worth it.

Modric out, Benzema out, Bale injured. Take Ronaldo out and Juventus is a better team. With Ronaldo it's even.

A bit weird this match up. If juventus sits back on the counter, they're not making great use of their midfield, which is arguably the strongest point. But making use of their midfield, would mean a more attacking minded approach, and will expose the individual quality of defenders in comparison...

Yeah, you're right. I was using estimates for winning CL/EL rather doing the raw calcs. By that account England would still have about 0.8 points ahead of Italy after this season.

Well I meant if you discount the 11/12 season. So if the latter happens, we will start 15/16 season with Italy in 3rd place and England in 4th.

I think the guy above was slightly wrong. Without 11/12 season it looks like: Spain 79.928 Germany 63.463 England 62.034 Italy 58.105 Italy less than 4 points away from England. And the league has this season and the next to make up for it. We're already 4.5 points ahead of England this...

$ in football is getting ridiculous

Coefficients Spain 18.357 Italy 18.166 Germany 15.571 England 13.571 France 10.916 I think with Napoli's win we could have tied Spain. Idiots.

Wait a few more minutes before update. Fucking stupid Napoli. Serie A needs every little point if they are to overtake EPL. How do you blow a fucking 2-0 lead in 2 minutes...

Lol 2-2. Napoli are such a loser club. This was a chance to increase coefficient points with another win, they blow it in 2 minutes.

Does anyone remember the first half vs. Bayern in Turin? When Conte told them to press Bayern, Bayern was exposed, and Schweini was taken out of the game for 45 minutes. That was with Vidal out. The 2 goals came because the team pushed so far forward and left spaces behind. Imagine if they had...
