A twitter rumour that De Rossi's agent said he is in London and will sign in a few days has Chelsea fans in a stir, cant find anything else though. Doesn't seem likely.

Inter is bound to have a much better season this time around due to Cunter Merdzarri. Say what you want about him, but he's a very good coach. When you win silverware with garbage town and turn "good" players into the world stars they became (Cavani and Hamsik most notably), then you know what you're doing. The signings of Belfodil and Icardi are great, so I expect inter to challenge us like mad for this title. What I'm damn sure of, though, is that we won't see them fail week after week like last season. They'll be up there, definitely.

Maybe not in his 1st season, If they get top 3 it would be a great job from him. I agree with u he is a very good coach and we will see a much improved Inter squad.

Inter suck donkey balls. Fuck their over-rated shitty squad, and their loser, sour puss, cunt of a coach Mazzari. I expect them to finish 5'th, and that should be the limit of their ambitions, seeing how mediocre they have become. Fuck them; may they forever rot in the pits of hell.

:agree:

I don't count them as a challlenger for the Scudetto [currently]. But I'm confident Mazzari will make a good team out of the current squad. Will surely challenge for a CL-spot.

Looking thru the market developments so far this summer; I see a weak top in Italy (There's only Juventus) but a very strong sub-top. Viola, Roma, Inter, Napoli and Milan will all contend for 2nd and 3rd.

Hope you're right about how far ahead we are!

Gotta admit, I'm starting to do some nailbiting over here :shifty:

And it's not just inter. I agree with all your examples, all of these clubs are conducting some shrewd business these days.

Pretty much. We don't have a team on paper who look like our equals, but there is danger there if we are complacent. That strong second tier could cause all sorts of problems, and those games are always harder for us than they will be between each other (derbies excluded).

It's not like the PL where there is probably going to be a top tier of 3 and then a second tier of 2-3. We are expected to win, and in some ways that is harder.

I think these new 'big' signings might distort the overall look of the league early on, as teams take time to work those players and each other out. So I wouldn't get too carried away earlier, proclaiming early frontrunners as the team to beat. Around Feb we will see who is in the running, and then by the end of March the men are separated from the boys.

The only team that can beat Juventus is Juventus themselves ;)

its only about you are still hungry or not.
You hit the nail on the had with that one. I think Bayern were so good last year because they had the hunger to keep going till the end. They spared nobody and finished off every game. Hunger is a bag part of winning.

its was not hunger my friend, it was deep pain and a feeling of payback. winning the scudetto 3times in a row for juventus is only about not becoming too complacent.

Listen to these idiots on Milan forums, Montoshitto better than Vidal how delusional can they be?

agree with chiellini and peerlo, pogba too but you are massively underrating vidal imo. Yes i remember those two games against us, where both boateng and monty owned him, but he has been just as consistent overall last season. There is a reason why jube finished first and he certainly played a major role in their triumph. I think he is juve's best player along with chiellini and peerlo but as far as the whole league goes, i would still put him amongst the top 5. He has been influential for juve, similar to the way monty guided milan. I personally rate hamsik, borja valero, hernanes and montolivo in no particular order higher than vidal but judging by last season's performances, vidal would be third at the very least. Anyways fuck vidal, he is good for jube, but we have balo, we will see what happens this season.

Borja Valero, Montolivo? Come on. They don't come even close. Their fans are deluded.
