2015-16 Italian Serie A Discussion

Digne would be great. As for Mbiwa I found it strange that they'd sell him when they clearly need backup CBs but if they get those two it makes sense. I read they did not sell him for a million more than what they got him for, though. Maybe there are bonuses also, idk I didn't really look into it.

Dzeko is easily the best true striker they've had in a while. Doumbia and Destro aren't even half the player he is

Torino want Belotti after already getting Baselli and Zappacosta this summer. Gotta love em for trying to build a team of young Italians.

I like what Torino are building, and really like their signings. They definitely need goals though, and hopefully Belotti can provide some for them. Don't know how much longer Maxi Lopez can be productive, and Martinez isn't ready yet.

Dzeko looks set for a good season. He and Pjanic already have chemistry from playing together with the Bosnian national team, and he knows how to finish the chances that the Roma midfield will create for him. Wouldn't be surprised if Roma challenged for the title.

Lol Inter selling Kova to Real, significantly hurts their european challenge since he is their most creative player and from what i can tell, they are selling him only to balance the books so they wont be getting a replacment.

Maybe they did well to get 35-40mil for him, I've never been too fond of the kid. I think Mancini promised a couple new additions after their fans booed them during the AEK friendly 0-0 draw

Handanovic
Montoya Miranda Murillo ?
Guarin Medel Kondogbia
Hernanes
Icardi Jovetic

Not a bad lineup but Kondogbia will really need to perform, which I expect him to, and Hernanes certainly needs to be better than he was last season. I think Nagatomo is their best bet at left back but they seem to prefer selling him. Santon and D'Ambrosio are rumored to be on their way out too. They definitely need to add a full-back or two, and probably another midfielder and striker for when Jojo gets hurt

Looks like A.Sandro to Juve is a done deal.

Doormatt · Post #68 » by **Doormatt** » Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:52 pm

would be a great signing but they still need a #10 more.

Inter will probably sign an attacking player and a full back, perisic and coentrao are the most likely. This would make them better than previously with kovacic but still lack creativity.

Doormatt · Post #70 » by **Doormatt** » Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:50 am

Coentrao would be immense but I don't see this as likely, not to mention he's made of glass, as good as he is.

Wolfsburg haven't seemed willing to part with Perisic either.
I'm really glad about Juve's Sandro deal though

Perisic is their best wing player. They shouldnt part with him.

Dybala comes in and changes the game. beautiful goal by him, and Mandzukic also getting his first official goal for the club

Morata really changed my mind last season, but Dybala-Mandzo should be such a sexy partnership that the young spaniard could have a tough time remaining first choice.

Juve better have a plan up their sleeve too. A left back and center attacking mid are still needed

We made a profit on him, it wasn't little. Considering he would never ever be a starter it's a good deal, he's got skills but he's just way too inept tactically and inconsistent. All things considered making any profit on him is a win. There's no way we go into the season with only 2 real CBs, rumour is we are looking at Sakho and rudinger who are both upgrades to Yanga-Mbiwa. We've obviously been linked to digne for what feels like months so that could happen as well.

Also it was just a friendly but Dzeko seems to fit in perfectly. We've always created lots of chances but lacked finishing.

Rudiger is a big talent, and I can understand why some see Boateng in him, but he's still very raw and needs a lot of work before he gets there. Though I could see him thriving in Rome, I also won't be surprised if he has to return to germany in a year, the way Boateng did.

Anybody watched Inler recently?

Has he still got it?

looks in good shape at training in Leicester.

DD12 · Post #76 » by **DD12** » Fri Aug 21, 2015 2:28 pm

not a big fan of him. i think he is pretty overrated but for your team he is a good signing.

Post #77 » by **magik9113** » Fri Aug 21, 2015 4:07 pm

yea he started slowing down a bit but still has plenty to offer. Benitez didn't prefer him as much to the other CMs on Napoli but Benitez is also an idiot so who knows

Juve should just buy Gabbiadini because rumor has it Sarri isn't going to start him either for Napoli. Dude is too good for that nonsense

Juve sold their 50% of Gabbiadini, coz they don't think he'll improve much. Also, they just loaned Llorente to Sevilla (0$ fee, 100% wage contribution), so they definitely don't need another striker. There are strong rumors that Vasquez from Palermo is coming to Juve.

Now that Inter has sold Kova, I don't see them making Top4 at all. Gonna be Juve, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio, in this order.

Since Dybala made a huge impact in his first real game, I am not surprised that Juve is going for another Palermo player.
