To paraphrase Gary Linekar - Serie A is a competition where 20 teams battle it out and Juventus win.
It would be foolish to bet against that happening again. They’ve strengthened significantly bringing in Joao Cancelo and Bonucci at the back, Perrin in goal, Can on a free and of course Ronaldo. They’ve lost Caldara, Higuain and the legendary Buffon but they feel stronger overall.
But the quality in the rest of the league is steadily rising as there is more outside investment.
Roma had an impressive CL run and with Monchi pulling the strings in the transfer market they will be a serious force again this year. Pastore, Kluivert and Ante Coric bolster an already impressive attacking selection. How wel they replace Alisson will be important.
Napoli have Ancelotti at the helm. He’s like Pochs dad - class personified. He will get them ticking ...eventually. I don’t know much about Fabian Ruiz but Simone Verdi is a decent buy up front. Coping with the loss of Sarri and Jorginho could see them cede 2nd place ...
Milan are scum but have bought well. Still a joke of a club though.
Which brings me into inter ...
Looking like an embarrassment of riches for Spalletti to play with. They could line up
—————— Handanovic
Vrsaljko - Skriniar - Miranda —Asamoah
————Naingolan——Brozovic
Balde ———L. Martinez————Perisic
————————Icardi
And have De Vrij, Dambrosio, Dalbert, Vecino, Gagliardini, Valero, Karomah, Politano, Candreva and Pinamonti on the bench. And imagine if Modric ends up coming!!
Then thatd be a team that could have a go at the CL - with the quality and experience that side would have.
But we’ve been here before ....
Anyway... exciting season in Italy coming up ... 4th CL spot bringing in extra €€€€ could make a big difference.
