former inter fan here..

too bad rafa is there!

meh...

100% Inter gonna retain the tittle even Rafa is their manager now

Seria A used to be 2nd favorite league after EPL. Now they fall 4-5 place because no competition for 1st place anymore. I don't know why Ac Milan and even Juve didn't spend money for new player

Juve did spend for a few player dis season liao. Refer my thread

red part - calciopoli dat hit serie A in 2006 did affect not only Juve,Milan,Lazio,Viola etc but the whole serie a to be exact. Dats why right now Serie A battling with German Bundesliga for the
4th UCL spot due to their co-efficiency points. The reason was the point from 2005-2006(where italian league did well in europe + Italy won the WC) was not count due to calciopoli..

no..

look what rafa have done to liverpool..

i want ac milan to be new champs

AC Milan because they aren't Man City. They lack funds to purchase new players. Thats why they are loaning players or just simply selling players off.

They just got Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan if i'm not wrong.

lol

i thought podolski join ac milan..fake?

Yeah they did spent for new player but

How come Inter can be a lot richer than Ac ? Is it because of Ibrahimovich transfer ? Any Seria A fan

moratti is italian mafia..

joke2

coz Milan dont have any debt in the club but lack of transfer fund because Berlushit do not want to spend more.

Where the hell the money from selling Kaka and Fly Emirates sponsorship?

Btw,a well known agent predicted that Milan gonna struggle just to finished this season for the fourth places.

nice explanation there by muhd syukri.

As for Juve, the reason why were having limited transfer fund...or in the simple sentence..."our transfer strength was not as strong as like 4-5 seasons ago".... bcoz were in recovery step by step since dat horrendous 2006(a year to forget not only to Juve fan but serie a fans also).

Another reason was were building our new stadia(on the same old Delle Alpi ground) dat scheduled to open during 2011/2012 season.

Hi Agx you seem to be a die hard Juve.

Can i know what's your verdict on Iaquinta? is he still the main man for Italy National team because he was not selected in the recent friendly.How does he fare during the recent world cup? Just wanted to know more about this player..

hi beandy

regarding vicenzo...i think during the start of last season he's quite ok though, score couple of goals for juve & (he did score twice against Bulgaria during the WC qualifier). But since returning from his long time absense/injury...dat man was the shadow of his former self.. Poor season remainder with juve & poorer season with italy in WC.

last season i think there's more juventino here at footy lounge to be exact... Maybe some of em grew boring with the juve disastrous
form last season and decided to rarely pay a visit here.

anyway its good to see Serie A fan here in LYN unites under one roof dis thread

Another Juve fan reporting in!

Big Vince now easily getting injured

Juve still lack squad depth compared to other teams. There's some very debatable transfer decisions so far...

Currently, I'll say the 2 Milans are the favourite to win the title.

Ic ..so his not as great as i expected
I went to the jersey shop last night and they have Italy with Iaquinta print so i thought of getting it becos it looks special.But sounds like his career with the national team is shortlived.

About this thread the purpose is to gather the Serie A fans bcos we know each of our thread is not as popular as the English club one.So together we make it big
Hope to have more people drop in to give a view now onwards..

Added on August 19, 2010, 10:45 amDont play down Juve chances.. before Inter dominance it is always Juve at the top.
Probably the team then all got old and no similiar class being replace.
Im talking about Nedved,davids,treze,buffon,cannavaro then..Class team!

ur right, but snowfish right also. Its not dat us juventinos did not expect our club to did well @ challenge for the scudetto.

our current squad right now are far from being the player u mention above.

Nedved >>>>Diego>>>> Lanzafame/Pepe/Martinez
Davids >>>>>>> Sissoko/Melo
Trez (before 2008) >>>>>>>>> Trez(now)/Amauri/Iaquinta
Buffon >>>>>>>>> Maningger/Buffon(now)/Storari
Cannavaro (before 2007) - Chiellini might came close

But its the rebuilding period for us right now. If Juve can clinch UCL spot during this season serie a i'll be more than happy
already..but if...IF they win scudetto.. Well i dono how to describe dat feeling eh

All the best players in the world played in Serie A..but not all the best plays in Premier league untill Chelsea money came in.
This says it all the prestigious and class of Serie A in Europe.
Maybe the league going downhill at the moment due to money factor but remember, Class is permanent!

Added on August 19, 2010, 11:12 amI quite like Maningger ..what you think? is he a capable Buffon replacement?

This post has been edited by beandy: Aug 19 2010, 11:12 AM

personally as a milanista i hope they win but i'm eager to c other teams like lazio,napoli,genoa,etc...they've made excellent signings & dat can only improve serie A.can't wait to c hernanes & rafinha in action...

Manniger is quite good actually. I feel he's a better backup compared to Storari.
