I hope he doesn't go to Italy, I'd like to see him at another big club to see if he could form a machine like Juventus again before doing that

I'm not sure how I feel about Conte as Italy manager, he never did very well in Europe with us.

I think Conte was more focused on the Scudetto to be assed with Europe. If that was his only goal, I think he would do well.

Let's be honest, I don't think that Italy will have a team able to win a Champions' League in the immediate future. When your A-list players break or are tired and the second line is made up of primavera players or loans from the Società Polisportiva Minchiarotta you can't win the Champions and have at the same time a good result in the championship. Let's not forget that this year's Milan and Inter sucked dog balls. Milan's performance was so bad that in fact I stopped following football after February, and never really considered Juventus' title in doubt; I only followed some of Atalanta due to the fact that a few friends of mine work for Percassi and Atalanta is a pretty big deal here.

I think they'll do good. Napoli has some depth, but they always play like they don't give a gently caress. Who is Roma seeded against?

Roma is going to get a couple of players let go, one of which almost assuredly is Benatia. My money is on Destro for the other. De Sanctis even said today, and was retweeted by Roma's official twitter "Mehdi is a professional and it'd be nice to have him still with us, but sometimes a team needs to sacrifice something" In my personal, totally unbiased opinion, Roma is not going to do as well as last year, except they'll probably trounce us on game day one.

straight up brolic posted:Roma doesn't need to let anyone go and if they do they'll almost certainly reinvest that money in the team. They've bought all these players with the Marquinhos and Lamela money I thought the same, but in fact, the Marquinhos and Lamela and Osvaldo money was used to pay for pre-existing debts. They're way in the red at the moment.

I spent too much time trying to figure out where the gently caress some of the teams in Siena's girone are and somehow missed the news that Wanda and Mauro are expecting. While searching for more news about this blessed event I happened upon an Inter forum--an Inter forum where 10% of the forum denizens genuinely believe that Icardi will end up as an absolute legend of the game (there was a poll and everything). These believers were engaged in discussion with mild dissenters who believe he will now suffer from being pussy-whipped, but in the midst of all that was the following exchange:i due sapienti interisti posted:--This motherfucker better not leave.. I already bought an Icardi shirt. Vexin fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Aug 13, 2014 |

I actually think Hernandez would be pretty good, but probably not enough for Juve. Also, Panagiotis "Napoli Slayer" Kone has signed for Udinese: https://twitter.com/Udinese_1896/status/499626112268664832/photo/1

Conte's pay will be 3.5m euros, 2ish of which is paid by the sponsor, Puma. Tavecchio, our new FIGC (the italian FA) president during the electoral period: "You cannot demand 3m euros in a moment where the country is in the poo poo, if you are given a football association like ours a manager could even work for free. The italian press is worried cause on the 6th of September we have a friendly with Holland, on the bench I will send Rivera (if I have to). At 70, I don't compromise" canepazzo fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Aug 14, 2014 |

I would prefer Cuadrado to go to barcelona than Man U. A Cuadrado VS Ronaldo match would be awesome. Silly season is in full swing as there are now rumors that Rossi is going to Liverpool (laugh!) and that Khediras "girlfriend" prefers a move to Viola. Khedira would be a great addition, especially with Gomez and the new dude from Chelsea on loan who can help him fit in. Speakin of. I hope our loan dude does good. 5m buyout at the end of the season.

Seems all but done though, nice of Puma to prop up our FA  We've got a friendly against Holland in 3 weeks I think, I wonder if he'll be able to pull anything out of this side by then. If Rossi doesn't play Im gonna be mad as hell also.

Also: What does the average football fan think of Serie A in general. I know the prestige level has fallen a bit but is it really as bad as people make it sound? Like, "OMG I CAN'T GO TO ITALY IT'S SUCH A STEP BACK I BETTER PLAY FLURGENBERGENPLATZ" or some poo poo? If I remember correctly Visic needed to release a statement as to why going to Italy was not a step back in his career. I'm too biased to think Serie A is that poo poo.

Majority of the players signed so far are on a free, on a loan, or exchanges. Serie A is that poo poo. E: Cuadrado not called up for Saturday's friendly. Buena suerte Juan
