Cesena is renovating their stadium. They are upgrading it to 25k seats and are currently installing real seats instead of the iron benches they had. It will be ready for next week. This is very good for them and Serie A, they have a decent stadium.

Milan
Inter

Fight for third between a shitload of teams, all the teams mentioned above, probably including Udinese too.

 

[Suns]

50m for guys like Bojan, Lamela, Gago, Kjaer, Osvaldo, Heinze, Stek, Angel(this dude is awesome) and Pjanic is great mercato by Roma. Got many young players and its clear they've got a project for the future.

Pretty much my list too, the only difference is Inter winning the league instead of Milan this year.

Those players cost €68m.

I also heard it's 50mln somewhere.

Look at these players! Any of them would be sold easier than cold water on a hot summer day no matter how much they flop. We instead go after unknowns that no one wants nor they want to leave.

 

[Azzurri7]

Gabriel Heinze? Wow, didn't know that. Anyway, not that I wanted him over, he's too slow nowadays.

Look at these players! Any of them would be sold easier than cold water on a hot summer day no matter how much they flop. We instead go after unknowns that no one wants nor they want to leave.

The values of Pjanic, Gago, Bojan and Kjaer have all decreased in just 1-2 seasons, it'll be the same again if they flop, and it becomes harder to sell. The benefit is that Roma didn't have a circus clown paying €20m for these players and giving them €3m+ wages.

 

[JuveJay]

Well actually I don't know if the latter is true, I could find out the wages I guess.

 

[Cheesio]

Well actually I don't know if the latter is true, I could find out the wages I guess.

Heard that Osvaldo's wages are 3,5mil could go to 4,5 mil

 

[jussr]

I think Palermo could be in trouble this season.

They survived their instability in the past by having a talented squad. They don't have a particularly talented squad this time round.

24/1 for them to get relegated.

Best bet possible right now. I think their is a very good chance they relegate. I am putting some money on this.

 

[Dostoevsky]

17.5M for Osvaldo?!

He had a very good season in Spain. Or two season.

I didn't like him before, though. No idea if he's that much improved, but I hear he is.

The values of Pjanic, Gago, Bojan and Kjaer have all decreased in just 1-2 seasons, it'll be the same again if they flop, and it becomes harder to sell. The benefit is that Roma didn't have a circus clown paying €20m for these players and giving them €3m+ wages.

Bojan's price didn't decrease. Kjaer's too, since he's still at ~10mln euros.

Heard that Osvaldo's wages are 3,5mil could go to 4,5 mil

With taxes maybe.

imo all range from good to great except for osvaldo

 

[JuveJay]

Bojan's price didn't decrease. Kjaer's too, since he's still at ~10mln euros.

Bojan didn't have an old price but I wouldn't have expected Barcelona to sell for €12m two seasons ago, this is a going rate for merely decent players around Europe now. Kjaer was also classed at €15m-€18m when Juventus were linked initially with Palermo and then at Wolfsburg.

I also think that on paper Roma's signings are good value for money. Whether they are good signings remains to be seen, Roma are challenging for the same as Juventus. Add in Borriello and they have spent €78m, so not a dissimilar budget to us either.
