[ITA] Serie A 2012/2013 (40 Viewers)

YOu're looking at him from todays perspective, and if you compare him to the Zlatan of today of course he wasnt as good.

But he was a very young player then, still adapting to the league and developing, so just because he wasnt the player he is today doesnt mean he flopped

In his first season with us he scored 13 goals, which is decent, in the second he scored 7, which is too few, but like I said, his game is about much more than goals so to say that he flopped is a huge overstatement.

Zlatan didn't flop, I agree, but he didn't do good in his second season either. Capello was wrong to play him as much as he did during the 2nd season when Ibra was off-form for long periods of time.

If there is one team in Serie A (not the big teams) that is attractive enough for a Sheik to buy, which one would it be? Which team can you see become the new City or PSG in Italy? Maybe Sampdoria or Genoa? They have the stadium, great city, a lot of fans that show up and they are located in the north and not the crazy south.

The likes of Genoa have already been mentioned which were what I initially thought of. Torino would be interesting, with Juventus as their rivals. Would make some bigger derby games.

If Oil Money ownership were to come to Italy,i can see them taking over teams which already have a established setup like Napoli for example..It would make much more sense since they would take over a team with a great historical background and relatively well known all over the world.

Teams like Torino ,Fiorentina or Genoa i believe would be less attractive options imo as they would've to start from scratch..And their fanbase isnt exactly huge either..

I included Lazio and Napoli in the bigger teams, or I'd have said them if they were going for something easier. If they want a project and to bring a team from a bad place, Fiorentina, Genoa and Torino.

You're right..But this is Serie A we're talking about,nowhere close to the best league in the world ,unless its a renowned club in Italy i dont see "PSG kind of owners"(in other words heavy investment) stepping foot in Italy..Infact look at PSG itself for example..Famous club and city with great support which is why they've chosen them to build their 'project'.

Lazio and Fiorentina?

Lazio and Fiorentina?

Definitely Lazio..But clubs like Fiorentina,Genoa,Torino i highly doubt it..Maybe a small time owner perhaps but then again we have many such owners in Italy itself.

 

[ZoSo]

Fiorentina fits well, nice famous city and decent fan support too.

Fiorentina was huge back in the day too.

More like Batistuta and Rui Costa.

This whole news about Berlusconi resisting the PSG offer for Silva sounds like a publicity stunt for me to gain few points among Milan fans.

 

[X Æ A-12]

By saying they will "resist" the offer instead of reject he's just making it sound like they intend to put up a mild fight... before eventually spreading those cheeks.

This Milan front office will line up all lubed and ready for a dollar, let alone 50 millions!

None, because of huge taxes and overall bureaucracy involved. The sheiks might be loaded but even they aren't dumb enough to spend twice as much in Italy when they could do same things with half the money in Spain or England.

Fuck Maradonna\Messi and all that shit! This man was the best Argentinian player.
