Hard to say with Inter.

They did okay with their transfers this summer. If they have another couple of decent transfer windows, they could have an alright side.

Their best players are now getting on and in a year or two they'll be finished it also seems like they have little money to bring in good enough players to make them competitive on the Euro stage.

Napoli financially are very well run and their best players are rather young, same with Fiorentina who had a great summer and if they manage to keep Jovetic I see them challenging us next year for the title.

Them doing well doesnt change that they are financially limited

Its not like they'll be bringing in great players without selling.


if they are our main challengers, i'd feel quite good tbh

Viola will be good as long as Montella is their coach. I think Lazio is an interesting team. They're doing well in Serie A and actually are good in EL while ynter and naples soccer are embarrassment for Italy. I'd like Lazio to take CL spot tbh. The second one I don't care as long as it's not ynter.

Id like Napoli and Fiorentina in Europe(Champions League) both would do very well in my opinion. Inter would embarrass Italy.

i think merda would do good , especially if they change straminkioni , don't think the same about napoli , they will play the same old way with counters . I am totally with you about fiore through , montella has very effective and pleasing to watch football . I think they can go far and in the same time make great publicity for italian football

Italian teams are even worse than English teams in Europe. The EPL is in decline, but things are not rosier for their Italian counterparts.

Its all about the Liga teams the past few years.

Napoli did well in Europe last season.

Fiorentina are nice to watch, but don't see them as a team capable of playing in two tournaments, they do not have that much depth. Plus imo they're too soft for Europe.

Again Italian sides embarrass the Serie A in the Europa Leaague.
Really ?

udinese knocked out. In a group with liverpool and ahnzi. remember this is a much weaker udinese,as they sold their flanks to help us top our CL group.

Napoli : qualified

Inter : qualified

lazio : qualified as leaders



I say its quite excellent. udinese had a far to tough group anyway

Discounting Juventus, as they will comfortably beat anything in England this season.

Wow, not to fast about that one

spanish teams, supposed to be better then english teams

italian teams, supposed to kill spanish teams


Just let spain kill the epl, and then play them with deep defence and murder their asses on the counter


this excludes barcelona, real madrid and juventus

I think it's difficult to argue either way, because they're clearly building to get into Europe and not to compete in two competitions. Different to Lazio for example, who have been close for a while, and have done well this year.

Would go for Inter and Napoli if thinking about performance in the Champions League though.

Personally I'd prefer to see them all in Serie C, to hell with all of them :stuckup: the coefficients can go suck Zebra dick

Let them do well, let them all do well.

More viewers to serie a, is more cash to juve

and while they do well, they are less challenging for teh title
