I bet Keita can't wait to go from one shitty club to another.

Napoli are light years ahead of Lazio imo. :D They can also do good in Europe.

Napoli also plays quite good football and manages to develop players nicely. I think it's a much better choice rather than joining Inter who managed to develop only Icardi over the past 15 years.

I know people keep laughing and underrating our opposition in Serie A, but I really like the approach Napoli are taking, especially with regards to keeping their best players. I think, when eventually and inevitably we relinquish our Serie A crown, they will be ready to pounce.

If he really wants us, I suppose we really have nothing to worry about. I honestly think we should bring him in, as next season both Mandzukic and Cuadrado will probably be shipped out/leave, and Higuain might get fewer minutes.

The current level of their team is definitely better but I would not say light years ahead since Lazio finished 4th last season. What matters is that neither Lazio nor Napoli has facilities and a background of a top club. Just look at their stadia and training grounds, embarrassing. They are also both known for going on wars with their players. Therefore, I don't think that signing for Napoli would make much sense for Keita.

Stadiums in Italy are all shit bar Juve's.

Oh and btw I think Napoli are more capable of holding their top players, unlike Lazio who will surely fall apart when they lose Keita, De Vrij and SMS. Napoli manages their team quite well and spends money very smart.

Yeah, but apart of koulibaly what really top players do they have? Hysaj? Maybe Insigne? That's about it imo.

Hamšik, Mertens, Insigne, Koulibaly, Callejon, Hysaj

then again they lost Higuain and will lose Reina. imo it's not that they don't lose their top players, because obviously they've lost Cavani, Lavezzi, Higuain and some others over the years, but they don't let go of them all at once (like Monaco f.e.) and replaces them quite well

How is that an argument in our discussion that bar Juve all the stadia are shit? Keita can choose between us, Napoli and Inter while we have our own beautiful stadium.

What does it mean to be capable of holding team's top players? Napoli cannot offer neither top salaries nor being a constant contender for the trophies. All they can do is imprisoning their players. They make it ugly every time there is a talk about a player leaving, vide Insigne, Higuain, Coulibaly etc. Another strong argument against Napoli is that they fvck their players over image rights.

On Lazio's defence from the other hand, they have the ability to buy players with very big potential for cheap. Something that Napoli doesn't have.

Well, if Callejon is a top player then we need a category for top-top players. Callejon is a Cuad level player at most.
he's their most reliable player, plays almost every minute of every game while guys like Mertens, Insigne, who you've no problem calling top players, get rotated, there's a reason why Sarri never drops him

it doesn't make him a top player. And btw I don't think Insigne is a top player also.

Hamsik it's a perfect example of player who is very good for a good team, but won't make it in the great team.
