Roma and Napoli finished with 87 and 86 Pts last season, if they continue to improve they (one of them) might push for 90 Pts provided they dont have major injuries. Winning anything less than 90pts at this point is a no go
Napoli will almost certainly get better. Diawara, Milik, Rog, Zielinski, Hysaj and Jorginho all have a lot of room for growth. Napoli aren't gonna get any worse any time soon.

The CL has to become our obsession for next season. #redemption

I'm willing to sacrifice a Serie A title for that CL crown. I've been waiting for 21 fucking years!

Why is the CL thread closed? :( :moan: :sigh:

We need to treat the CL less like an obsession. Well, not us the fans, but the club. We should treat it like how Real, Barca and Bayern do: it's an objective to win it, like all other competitions we take part in, but don't put the pussy on a pedestal. Even though we all know that the CL means more to us now than anything else.

Enough with all the over-hyping it and creating such a huge build up. "It's Time"... Just prepare for it in a calm and confident manner.

It was kinda Napolesque the atmosphere around the club in the build up to the final.

Some interesting developments already!

Stefano Pioli to Fiorentina:
This will say that Fiorentina will play again between 5th and 7th place. Pioli is a good coach, but he can't let his team 'overperform'. He just always does what the possibilities with his squad are and that is 5th - 7th.

Spalletti to Inter:
I think Spalletti can do it better than De Boer and Pioli. 4th place is possible, BUT Milan is also improving the squad so I think it will be a fight for the 4th place. Since this year first 3 spots are direct CL and 4th is play-off ofr Champions League. Spalletti can make it, especially with improving the squad with a good left- and rightback.

Di Francesco to Roma?:
1+1 = 2, Di Francesco to Roma is expected and I think it's true. Good manager and I think he will take Pellegrini (Sassuolo) and Berardi with him. Pellegrini is only 8m since Roma has a buyback-clause on him. I think Roma will fight for 2nd / 3rd spot with this squad.

Milan squad upgrade :eek: :
Seriously they already have 150% better squad than last year. Rodriguez (Wolfsburg) completed his medical, Kessie is a great talent and the Mussachhio - Romagnoli combo sounds 2nd / 3rd place level. I still think they are a little bit worse than Merda's squad, both coach and players. 4th/5th place I say.


Tomorrow 20:00 (Italian/European time) is Benevento - Carpi for promotion to Serie A. All cheer for Benevento. Carpi is such an awful boring club like Chievo ...

Based on what do you see Inter third?
They will have 4th for sure because Spalletti is defenitely better then Montella. But 3rd is not favourite for yet because Roma are still better, unless they get a disastrous coach.

Luciano Spalletti has landed in China ahead of being confirmed as Inter’s new Coach.

Spalletti was welcomed by a group of Chinese Inter fans at Nanjing airport on Wednesday and is set to meet with Suning Group chief Zhang Jindong, before signing a two-year contract worth €8m.

The former Roma boss will then return to Italy on Thursday and be officially unveiled on June 12 at La Triennale di Milano.

Spalletti is a good coach in my book, Inter have a good squad and I expect him to rack up more points than Di Francesco (if he coaches Roma) or Montella
Did they sign anybody yet?

I also think Spalletti is a good coach, at least for them at the moment. However, I don't think Montella is a much worse coach tbh. It's player names that make a difference and I don't know what Inter is going to serve for the next season. IMO they'd be quite shit had they sold Icardi. He's like 95% of their team.

I think they will surely get Di Francesco. Dunno.

my top five prediction:

1. Juventus
2. Napoli
3. Inter
4. Roma
5. Milan

top scorer: Icardi
Totally pointless to predict right now. Lets wait and see what happens in the transfer market. If Milan keep spending money they could end up getting that CL spot.

Milan has to spend ALOT more just to get the kind of quality Icardi offers, so they defenitely in disadvantage. And I disagree with Douchen that Montella and Spalletti in similar level, the latters work for Roma past season is not something I see Montella acheiving, made roma quite excellent machine, Montella has nice pleasing style but lacks stability and consistency in his approach to coaching. Yes even less so then Spalletti.

Spalletti is a good coach but that Inter team have no leaders or characters in the squad.

That is why they fail miserable every year and when Icardi is the captain it just spells disaster.

I think they will surely strengthen their team once Spalletti arrives and tells them his wishlist. Inter have many good players with bigger potential than they've shown like Kondogbia, Gagliardini, Perisič, Brozovič, Handanovič, J.Mario, Miranda, Gabriel and Candreva. Which of them Spalletti is going to use and who is going to arrive remains to be seen, but as a coach he knows how to rack up points, Montella and di Eusebio both strike me as a bit naive and that is what I think will make the difference.
