[ITA] Serie A 2012/2013 (59 Viewers)

[Bianconero81]

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it Suns. We might be able to change our approach somehow, whereby we entice players from other leagues by offering them a better pay package, or raid other teams in Serie A for their talent (think JoJo, Cavani, etc...) and hope they stay with us long term by offering them a stable and competitive environment. Moreover, by performing well in Europe, and playing attractive football we can aspire to be the flag bearers for Serie A, and hopefully attract more talent to the league. Hence, buying someone like Jovetic is imperative this season, and possibly Cavani/Higuain next year. We then won't have to worry much about the rest of the league, as long as we can afford to keep our stars.

Do you think PSG are that attractive as a prospect? The players are only going there for the money; that's why Ibra is trying to milk them for as much money as he can get. The French league will never be a better option than Serie A, and PSG can't possibly buy everyone, as there are squad limitations. As for La Liga, and the Premier League, teams like Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, and Man City will continue to have money, and we can only hope that FFP rules and regulations bridge the gap somewhat.

Don't expect Milan to stay crap for long. They'll be back. We just have to make as huge a gap as possible now.

playing 3 CL finals in 12 years hardly seems like a hindrance to me.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Of course I can't! Don't get me started on them meeting the agents of Tévez and Şahin

Tevez, Sahin and Dzeko?

Week league equals a less competitive league, we ought to be testing ourselves against tough opposition as much as possible. Being a big fish in a small pond is not a prospect that we should relish in.

yeah, because it hurt barca and real madrid so much ?

pretty much every point about the league being weak hindering the single top teams is debunked by the status quo of the leagues that only have one or two good teams. so how is the lack of star players outside of real madrid and barca hindering both of dominating in the champions league ? you are right, it is not hindering them. they're stars score plenty against the peasant clubs and can save their energy for the important games in the champions league. even if serie a becomes a strict two horse race i don't care because it wont be worse than right now and with FPP rules reaching the date that sanctions may get handed to those rich arab overspending clubs it can only be good for us. so psg is signing many players on high wages ? no problem, they will be the ones with the problem trying to balance their books.

everybody cries about how the youth does not get a chance in italy and now due to the sale of a few good players there will be clubs like milan that have to put their money on the youth, so what's the problem ? either it works out, then good for them, if not, we don't need to care, because it is milans problem to replace ibra and silva with quality youngsters.

i don't care if we win the next 5 scudetti because the other teams fail to compete. better for us, we get the secured champions league spot and the revenue of that will only make us financially more safe.

the argument "test your skills against strong opposition in the league" did never hinder bayern münchen to be competitive in the champions league. weak opponents will make it easier for the team to gel together and be in top form once facing international competition in the CL.

cant deny the quality in serie a has been on the low though, say compared to late 90s or early 00s.

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

I wonder why Berlusconi doesn't just sell the club? The club has a worldwide following and massive marketing appeal so I bet if he put it on the market there would be a lot of suitors interested.

Late 80's until late 90's Serie A was supreme

Atm, Genoa with Cassano is probably a better team than Milan with Cassano.

 

[Gian]

I doubt that.

 

[Xperd]

It means he wants to return to Sampdoria not Genoa.

I doubt that.

Milan right now is a seriously mediocre team (with Pato being constantly injured, he even just got injured again). Many teams have much better squads right now.

Unless their is a huge surprising overperforming team next year in Serie A, I would think they could still get a top 3 spot, the competition is simply too weak.
