Think that's all you need to be honest, just not sure what position you guys could try and upgrade since you have really good players all over the pitch. Juve is pretty complete to challenge in all fronts and comfortably win Serie A again next year. Maybe a new GK to groom for when the inevitable happens.

I agree, we could have won CL this year if things had gone a bit differently.

Is James rumored to be leaving Real or something?

James is nowhere to be found in important games, he's heartless. We need veteran players with tons of experience if we want to storm CL.
Meanwhile, Juve bought out Lemina and signed a 4-year contract. And still no word on Morata, Real indecisive as usual, they'll not decide on him until late August. Then Marotta will hurry and panick and buy some Puciarelli to replace him.

James has scored or assisted against

Barcelona
Atletico
Juve
Liverpool
Sevilla
Roma
Bilbao
Etc.

Even on the tie against Juve last year, he had the great assist to Ronaldo and drew the PK at home.

Now on the Morata front. I think he's not too eager to go back to Madrid. I think he's fallen out of love with the team.

They would break James' leg in matchday two in Serie A. Not a good fit for Serie A.

You make Serie A sound like a rugby leg or something. I'd like to see the number of injuries there as opposed to other leagues.

It's a physical league, but it's a very technical leagues. James has played in Argentina, France, and CONMEBOL which is by far the dirtiest football on Earth where guys bite, spit, and even finger other players.

Serie A is a great league, lots of technique. To me, the EPL is a more physical league and I think that, just like many Colombians before him, he would struggle there

Inter will finish the league ahead of Roma for sure though. I called it way before anyway. Inter's midfield is as good as any team in the world. More importantly, they have the most winner mentality player, Felipe Melo. Inter will probably win the league and Melo will be the MVP.

This might be one of the most brutal 'put on blast' posts in soccer board history.

What is really brutal about it? I don't see anything else other than three people who had balls to take the bet. Everyone saw the bet when we were talking about it and only treiz and turco took the bet. So you should put your money where your mouth is.

In fact if you wanna see something brutal, you can look it up Spurs' history lol

Also congrats to turco and treiz who had balls to go against me. I am waiting for the sig. Football is like this sometimes. Heck even Real Madrid lost to 3rd division team

At least Madrid didn't lose the league by ten points

Too bad turco found a way out of this bet since they lost the lead precisely when they were healthy

Miranda and murillo are good

Midfield of melo, guarin, kondogbia is good

They have jovetic and Icardi are good too.

Talent wise, they are pretty good

So I thought Inter had a decent squad and? I never made any outrageous claims. Are Miranda, Murillo, Icardi, Jovetic not good players? That midfield was a mess though

But yeah, Barcelona sure won by 10 points...
