Hopefully Inter crash and burn some more.

Forza Juve!

Forza Sampdoria!

First game is against AC Milan too... hope we can demolish them.

Forza nerazzurri!
I think the top 3 will be the big 3 this season in all honesty or maybe lazio thrown into the mix. Juve have strengthened, inter have strengthened, milan have stagnated but still have enough firepower up front without ibra, lazio haven't sold any key players from what I know, lavezzi loss may be too much for napoli and roma are a season away from making the top 3 as they're still rebuilding.

Juve, inter, milan, lazio, napoli, udinese, roma for top 7 in that order.

Juventus/Napoli for the Scudetto!

Can't see the Milan clubs challenging for the title this season.

I haven't watched much Serie A over the last few years. I should really change that.

I have a soft spot for Chievo. I remember their first season in Serie A back in 2001/02 when they finished 5th and even led the league for a few weeks. Also, the Flying Donkeys is a great nickname.

Rumours of a Cassano-Pazzini swap between the two San Siro sides, while Juve are negotiating with Athletic re Llorente - latest bid is €18m. I think he'll go for just north of €20m, tbh.

Dunno how I feel about a Cassano-Pazzini swap. I love both players and they're my favorite Italian strikers. God, that glory period with Sampdoria in the CL and those two banging in all the goals? What a time for Italian football. Pazzini would probably be more suited to Milan's playstyle than Cassano... he's a quick target man but still doesn't hold a candle to Ibra.

But Cassano at Inter? Since when does Inter use Italian players? :mmm:

Nonetheless, there is the potential of Cassano-Coutinho flairy link-up play. I'd be happy if any of the Milan teams can challenge Juve's hegemony at the top. Heck, even Napoli, Fiorentina, or Roma for that matter.

One more week, guys. :sogood:

Cassano in place for pazzini, looks like inter bought the wrong player from sampdoria in the january transfer window. Cassano is better by far tbh, I don't rate pazzini although pazzini isn't fitted to the system and doesn't want to be second fiddle to milito. Cassano-coutinho with milito up front, they'll have to drop someone though, milito did wonders for them last season, doubt they'll get rid of zanetti and shuffle the team around, guarin has just come in and cambiasso is still quality and just forget about dropping sneijder. Maybe they'll just rotate around.
