I'm gonna take a stab at how I feel the season and near future will go. I've been watching the league long enough and well enough that I feel I can have a fairly accurate estimation.
The league is improving this season, and that can only be good for Juventus in the long term (if this is a trend for future mercatos). If other clubs are improving, they are putting pressure on our management and ownership to improve every transfer period as well. That being said, it's important to not take our opponent moves in the market or their remaining players lightly. Players like Kaka, Gomez, and Higuain have potential for huge years in the Serie A, but they have potential to flop as well. Juventus has made significant moves as well, and I can't express how good of a signing Tevez will most likely turn out to be. Add in Llorente and Ogbonna, and we have added quality depth as well.
Juve will most likely win the league again. We have what appears to be the best starting 11 as well as players who can both make a difference off the bench as well as fill in where injuries leave gaps. They are in great form and will roll through most of the competition until injury or fatigue cause problems.
Milan will finish runner up, but will be contending the majority of the season. Balotelli is World Class and El Shawaary seems to be a tricky customer as well. Kaka, if he can find his form and stay healthy, will make them a tougher opponent as well. There team is definitely not on par with Juventus this season, but they are no scrubs either.
Napoli will finish 3rd. Higuain will be good enough to fill some of the void Cavani left, but he probably won't score more than 15 goals. They will struggle against most of the bigger clubs. Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, Juventus, Inter and Milan are no walks in the park and they don't have a ton of depth on the bench or true quality across their entire starting 11 to challenge unless
I think Lazio will snag 4th away from Inter and Fiorentina, who will finish in 5th and 6th place, in that order. Roma will finish 7th in a disappointing year. .
I just figured I'd throw my two cents in. I try to be as objective and fair as possible. I'm interested to see what many of you say. I have a lot of respect for some posters on this forum and know you are extremely knowledgable. You can tear my prediction into pieces or agree with me. All I truly know is, it should be a good year to be a Juventus fan. There are big games to be won and history to be made. I decided to follow this club 4 years ago and have loved every minute of it. Sports can have such inspiring, motivating, depressing, awe inspiring, heartbreaking, heart wrenching, and ecstasy filled moments. I've ridden the roller coaster with the club over these past four years from the bottom to the top. Hopefully there are even greater moments to be a part of this year.
Forza Juve
