And really, Ogbonna has underperformed so far. I dont care about ranocchia's price.
I think that many would be surprised of how well Ranocchia would fit in here. We (those who watch football games and not waste time with off topic bs to mask their ineptness) are aware of his good characteristics and what he could bring to this team. Inter's defense are disorganized and individual can hardly take a blame for the mess they're finding themselves in. For a reasonable price it would be a good buy. I really liked the partnership he formed with Bonucci during his Bari days, very decent side back then as some might remember.

I'm not native english, and this is not a spelling test. I had my final training of the week yesterday, i'm on schedule with cutting back weight, whilst my Wilks coëfficiënt keeps improving.

And at the start of the season, teams are usually in decent to good shape mentally and physically, wich is going to be a huge improvement togheter with the gelled in strikers and desire to not make the same mistakes again.
it's not my native language as well, but it's pretty dumb to keep confusing such things.

so basically you're saying that the team didn't learn from their mistake against Nordsjælland last season when they faced Copenhagen this season?

Some highlights of Marotta's interview for GdS:

This year's losses quite possibly will surpass last year's, therefore we'll try to find players capable of occupying multiple roles, and that will give the possibility to utilize more modules.

Stadium won't be expanded, as the actual capacity is adequate.

It's necessary that Serie A is reduced to 18 teams, quality gap is significant and players are fatigued.

From 2015 we'll be able to invest more.

I am totally on board with him statement regarding Serie A being too big. It really is just insane how many games the Italian clubs play. Talent is too diluted too.

@ALC Top 5. I am including Ligue 1 in there, considering they have PSG and Monaco :D

La Liga, The EPL, The Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 are commonly referred to as the Top 5 European leagues.

Serie A to be expanded to 20 teams

MILAN, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Italy's Serie A will be expanded from 18 to 20 teams next season after a deal was finally struck with rebel second division clubs who had boycotted the start of the current campaign.

Serie B will return to normal on Thursday after the clubs agreed to end their protest, the Italian Football League said on Tuesday.
Clubs were angered by the decision last month to expand Serie B to 24 teams, with three relegated clubs given a reprieve and Fiorentina promoted.
None of the opening Serie B fixtures took place, while only two matches were played in the scheduled second round on Sunday.

An Italian Football League spokesman said the deal would mean five teams promoted from Serie B this season and three relegated from Serie A.
A playoff will take place between the sixth place side in Serie B and the team finishing 15th in Serie A.From next season Italy will therefore have an expanded 20-team Serie A, with Serie B reduced to 22 teams.

The controversy began in August when the Italian Football Federation readmitted relegated sides Catania, Genoa and Salernitana to the second division, along with Florence club Fiorentina.The move came after Catania won a legal action against their relegation.

No Griezmann's or Di Maria's, but Biabiany's & Crapola's instead. We wouldn't have it any other way.
