Late.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Pato injured?

That's shocking!

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Does it seem that the smaller teams have been less active than usual in the transfer market? Not really hearing of many new names incoming to the league.

Viola have done great this transfer market.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

But the Parmas, Palermos, Genoas, etc. who usually bring in the young, foreign talent seem to be saving their cash.

Palermo signed some South American players. Arevalo Rios who people seem to rate highly.

Parma signed a greek/albanian talented winger who's supposed to be the next big thing coming out of his country.

[Gian]

You've seen him? I read on some forum that he must be similar to Veron

 

[Klovn]

He is. Finally someone noticed him.'

I saw him play for Uruguay in Copa America 2011.

 

[El Santo]

He was a beast for Club Tijuana last season.

 

[Trequartista]

He was also good at the last world cup.

Did the league give any particular reason as to why they're allowing 12-player benches now? I figure it's an attempt to give more opportunities for teams to play youth. Usually teams would leave their young players in the stands knowing they probably won't be in the situation of a comfortable enough lead to use them, so when the opportunity actually does arise, they often don't have the youngsters on the bench to bring on. Now with the 12-man benches, we may see more young players coming on at 3-goal leads.

I think you just answered your own question

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Nope, I didn't answer whether the league gave us their reasoning for the change

 

[PedroFlu]

hahaha

u guys are kidding, of course

Arevalo Rios is already 31 or 32 yrs or stg like that. I've seen this guy play in Brazil and he didn't last more than 6 months. Average at most.

Anyway, I think small clubs are doing a good job in Italy. Parma had some interesting moves, Bologna as well. Genoa has resources, Sampdoria and Torino are back.. Pescara got good young players. Atalanta had a decent team. I see almost all clubs improving, apart from Milan. Almost all small/medium teams are hard to beat at their home. The 2 only real shitty teams I can think of are Chievo and Siena. It's a tough league, definitely.

I think with Juventus back, Serie A is going uphill again. Roma is investing in the future, clubs like Udinese, Genoa, Palermo, Parma are well directed, Napoli is growing a lot. Lazio is steady, Fiorentina seems to be ambitious this time. Fuckin Shinter is improving.

Milan is in a huge fucking crisis, but they shouldn't take too long to get back. I guess in a couple of years we'll see Serie A getting back on its feet.

 

[CAPITANO]

RAI Italia(international) have added a couple of Sunday games on their schedule but nothing on Saturday.

Well we all know how much they love Juve over there at Rai

 

[Salvatore]

Pescara signed Vukušić, who is supposed to be good.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Nigel De Jong 8 million pounds 50-60%--> Milan
Alvaro Pereira 13 million euros 80-90%--> Inter
Cerci --> Torino

 

[ZoSo]

Yeah its $20 a month, an absolute fucking rip off for third rate (if that) picture and sound quality.

Good news is, they show plenty of Juve games. I only remember having to stream 3 or 4 games last season. Now that were playing in the CL, we'll get plenty of Sunday morning games, which is good for me as I have a fucked up working schedule during the weekday

Is that on top of foxtel or whatever too?
