[ITA] Serie A 2013/2014 (36 Viewers)

[Salvatore]

I'm not sure if Napoli and Milan have enough for a 2 front battle. Napoli in 2011/12 just couldn't play on two fronts and today they aren't that much better than back in 2012, when they had Inler and the Hamsik-Lavezzi-Cavani trident.
That's in regards to the scudetto battle. But playing in CL and serie A might also endanger their top 3 chances, so one of the other teams might take advantage of that and sneak into the CL places.

Quality wise, though, Napoli should win the 2nd place with ease, while Milan are 3rd best.

I think it would be reckless for them to copy the 2011/12 attitude and put everything into the Champions League again, but a rough calculation suggests they could build a squad good enough to manage both responsibilities. ~€50m left I think, a few Marotta signings in there still.

i would be very surprised. he would cost a lot.

 

[Lion]

rumors are he could go for 15m. 20m max

napoli have the money and they are in dire need of a full back.

I think it's a good deal for them, I must be the only one here . They get a fine replacement for Cavani and have 23M left from his sale. His wages are on the same level as Cavani's and more importantly they needed a 'top player' if they want to be CL for next season(s). With Higuaín they have the potential to be a structural top 3 side imo. Gotta spend money to make money.

I don't think Napoli are aiming to be challengers for the scudetto, they aim to be a structural top club in Serie A and I think with a new RB their squad is good enough for that. They were in B with us not too long ago, their management must be fine hence the recent results and CL qualification.

Its because you dont get it, that ur the only one.

Napoli replaced their only player capable of holding the ball, and distributing it, with a player that absolutely doesnt.

This means, they spend ALOT on a player that currently isnt worth that much, but that they'll struggle to make the play against ant team thats good at pressing.

they basically got a good counterattacking team, but not the defence to back it up. Thing is, in the serie a, you need to be able to make the play against the right half column teams who go like "lol, sup mate, lets just park the bus here".

In that regard, milan and fiorentina are significantly better equipped, and roma also has a surprisingly good team for that.


Getting a new forward thats less expensive, but spending the money on other positions that didnt cost THAT much, would have been a better idea

they cannot afford him.

After 5mil wage to higuain, and just 50% portrait rights, they absolutely cannot tolerate much more wages, let alone what coentrao would demand

FACT !

Watch them sign Martinez for 35mln with 4-5mln wages and blow Zach's head.

Indeed.

I've just read that Palazzi demands -6p for Lazio and -3 for Lecce & Genoa for the matchfixing in the 2010/2011 season. Mauri, Milanetto, Cassano, Gervasoni, Zamperini, Benassi, Ferrario i Rosati could have major consequences. Mauri can be disqualified for more than 4 years and Cassano for 1.

 

[Gian]

I rate Mauri as a player, it would be sad too see his career end like that.

Lazio -6 lol, inter has a chance for the EL now

And now you can see paradox. Lazio will get only 6p for match fixing of one of their players but we were relegated inspite the absence of the same. Genoa few years before even worse as their president was involved. Palazzi :facepalm2:

Seems like the Serie A teams are changing their approach in the transfer market. Instead of trading players with each other like one hundred times they now go sign foreign players which seems to be a very good way to excite the fans about the new season. I mean, you can't trade guys like Borriello, Gilardino and the rest of them Serie A journey men around so many times without the fans getting bored.

 

[Red]

I think it's because quite a lot of teams are in pretty strong positions to build from, so they are willing to take the risk of signing a youngster or a player new to Serie A, rather than just going for the safe, Serie A proven options.

Wow seems like Napoli are very serious about Jackson Martinez, already agreed personal terms with him.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I hope that is going to become our strategy as well. I'm sick of Beppe and Paratici having to overpay for Serie A players (mainly Italians) and having to deal with the stingy, greedy club presidents.

that's about right.

 

[Fr3sh]

It's gonna be a monstrous season.

 

[Fint]

Wow seems like Napoli are very serious about Jackson Martinez, already agreed personal terms with him.

"I am happy to be here at a club like this," Martinez told Radio Renascenca. "I am enjoying the opportunity to play here, I want to repeat what happened last season and win more trophies with Porto."

That's a very good point.
