Inter will have a good run, I sort of expect them to finish 3rd. Milan will struggle IMO. Napoli should finish top 3. Roma will improve but they won't do anything meaningful, top 6 probably.

I believe they will be. But they just got to get their shit together first.
Such a chaotic arrival to North America. :lol:
That was a horribly planned plan. Have the customers write emails to their providers so they can add beIN sports on their channel lineup. So far only on dish and directv. I really hope they give up.

And Inter's doing a nice job in the summer mercatto. I hope all their players get injured.

I hope you're right when it comes to Strama, Melo, but I doubt it. I said before the end of last season that I think he's gonna turn things around at Inter, and I still believe that he will. I see Inter and Napoli as our main rivals for the scudetto, with Milan and Roma being "dark horses".

You know it only gets worse after the honey moon period (or sometimes it gets better when the coach has more time with the team). Anyway, I remember inter conceding a lot of goals too when he began to coach them.[h=2][edit][/h]

Yep. I know about that record, but I'm telling ya, that's not bad at all - all things considered. We must remember what shape Inter were in before he arrived. Before he arrived, they held relegation form. 6-2-3 ain't all bad when you step into a sh*thole like Inter was at the time.

I think the biggest problem with them is that they have too many assholes in the squad and their locker room morale must be a mess. If it was about the tactics, they wouldn't have done so badly with Ranieri and Benitez. Can Stramdude change that?
did everyone forget udinese
Did they sign anyone of note?

The very reason I fear Stram has little to do with tactics, but has everything to do with charisma and personality. He's one of the most charismatic coaches I've seen, and he did transmit positives to the Inter squad after he arrived. The only coach in Serie-A more charismatic than him is Conte. Obviously, tactical prowess also matters alot, but it's not like he's completely lost in that departement either. All in all, I think Inter have themselves a fine coach in Stram, and with the signing of Cassano, who is a quality player, I see them challenging.

Don't forget Inter is close to Europa League participation. Milan qualified for CL, Udinese CL (EL already secured if they don't survive the preliminary's of the CL), Lazio and Inter also preliminary's of the EL. Napoli secured Europa League also.

So only Roma atm is free from midweeks.
with Zeman at the helm, they're also free from brains.
