[ITA] Serie A 2014/2015 (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
Season ticket sales so far (Juventus already sold all available season tickets and data for Chievo and Inter are not official).
Not bad considering how much more expensive our tickets are than standard ones in Italy.
The winners and losers of the summer transfer window so far

WINNERS: Nazio
In truth it has been a miserable summer for Italian clubs in terms of incoming transfers, with Serie A moving further behind the big-spending Premier League and the Clasico giants in Spain. But two clubs who can be happy with their work in the market so far are Roman duo Roma and Lazio. The former overpaid on Juan Iturbe, but have strengthened their squad and thus far retained their star players. If Mehdi Benatia and Kevin Strootman remain when the window shuts, they will do well in the Champions League.
But it is rivals Lazio who have done the best business in Serie A, albeit at a lower level. The Biancocelesti signed the highly rated centre back Stefan de Vrij, who enjoyed a fantastic World Cup with Netherlands, and also snapped up Marco Parolo and Dusan Basta, as well as prolific Nantes striker Filip Djordjevic on a Bosman. Most importantly, they kept hold of their three star men; Miroslav Klose, Antonio Candreva and wonderkid Keita Balde Diao. They could return to the Europa League this season.

And get knocked out in the group stage.
As for the summary of our mercato so far it's the same old story. Everyone expect us to bring some big name for some serious cash but it ain't gonna happen. It's not even a Marotta thing because we have never spent big unless we sell big. Moggi was also waiting for some opportunities as he signed Vieira, Cannavaro and Ibra relatively cheap. Marotta's moves can be judged after some time. No one was expecting such big things from Barzagli, Licht, Asamoah, Vidal, Pogba, Tevez or at least they performed much better than one would expect from a player bought for certain amount. Who knows, maybe Morata, Coman, Perreyra and Romulo will make those critics change their opinion after six months. They have the potential to do so but we'll see.

Did you see this part?
"The Bianconeri have completely failed in their objective of signing a top class winger who would allow them to switch seamlessly to a 4-3-3 formation, missing out on both Cuadrado and Alexis Sanchez - the latter of whom was very buyable before the World Cup."

i also like how they bash juve for not improving their starting 11 but also praise dortmund who weakened their starting 11 significantly and only paid 20m to do so
