Funny that they sold Inler to Napoli for €15 mill+ and still finished above them.

Arsenal - Braga - Juve - D.Zagreb/Nordjaeland would be the most "easy" group on paper.

I never realized Braga would be seeded into pot 2. Wtf...higher than us?

It's only a couple of years since they went to the Europa League Final, so they're bound to have amassed a decent amount of points.

Juve have pretty much done fuck all in the last few years.

Still Braga? oh how far have we fallen...

Time to redeem ourselves this year.

I'm glad Udinese got knocked out. If they exist simply to try to make CL without ever looking to improve their squad become more competitive, they deserve not making the group stage.

Im glad too, them being there is pointless.

 

[Red]

Well, that's probably the end of Udinese's extraordinary run of the last few years anyway.

The lastest crop of players they've brought in don't look anything special and Guidolin won't go on much longer.

They'll gradually start heading back to their natural place in midtable over the next year or two, I'd imagine.

While I admire what they've managed to do, I can't really wish a team well who has no ambition to try and do anything - which is precisely why, towards the end of last season, I was hoping any one of Lazio, Inter and Napoli would manage to overtake Udinese and get the last CL spot.

 

[Trequartista]

Agreed.

Muriel will be great imo, though.

 

[Joe]

Udinese are finished.

They're only bright talent right now is Muriel. Fabbrini and Benatia look good too. However, those players are nowhere near good enough to put the team on their back. I think Guidolin will be stepping down soon, especially after his comments tonight.

The CL spot was really theirs to lose in both these past two years tho. This one, they were obviously the better team but made dumb mistakes.

Last year, they could've beaten Arsenal had they been better organized, they played better imo.

I've just read that, damn, someone put an arm around that guy and tell him that club is doing nearly all the work for him when it comes to not being good enough to qualify.

 

[Trequartista]

I like Guidolin, he deserves better.

 

[Joe]

Udinese would have been a solid team if they didn't sell all their players over the last couple years:

Di Natale - Sanchez
Armero --- Asamoah --- Pinzi --- Inler --- Isla
Domizzi - Danilo - Benatia
Handonivic​

However 5 of those players have been sold. Mostly the ones that can actually make a difference in a game.

I think they'd definitely would have been competitive in Serie A and would have for sure gotten to the group stages in CL.

 

[Salvatore]

Don't forget Zapata and Pepe.

I agree, although I don't want him to go to Milan.

Zapata I don't think Pepe would make it into that team. Maybe a super sub.

And if Guidolin ever went to Milan...

 

[ALC]

He'll make them play better but their players will still be shit. It's not like he'll have all the selections from Udinese's scouting program.

 

[mukumsplau]

feel sorry for guidolin. seems like an okay guy.

 

[ALC]

I just saw what Maicosuel did. What a retard.

 

[Lion]

You mean by finishing above them?

yes. let's see if cavani will stay there then.
