Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[blackened515]

Nemanja Matic have landed in Italy ahead of his contract with AS Roma. The Serbs defensive midfielder will look forward to sign a one year deal with Roma and with a option for further season.  AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho is really interested with his former teammates. He has previously worked with the player in two English teams, when at Chelsea and United. Now at Roma, they will make a good pair in the team. Matic will undergo medical today and Roma fans are getting excited because they will witnessed one best defensive midfielder in their team.

^ Pogba is a great player, I don't care what the others say because I believe he did not perform in Manchester United because Manchester United failed as a team and it was not just because only one player is playing badly.
 

Reality is that over the span of 5 years, pogba is on the tables of underperformers in that team. The team is poorly equipped, yes ofcourse. Yet Bruno has done more than Pogba did in 5 years in just 2 years without any form of media complaints. Bruno raised the bar and the performances of the average teammates to 3rd, and 2nd placed in the league, and also helped Pogba to be on form for consecutive weeks (first of such in Pogba 3-4 years at the club). Pogba did not perform because he does not put efforts every match day. No sugercoating

It is still not clear whether Romelu Lukaku is going to stay at Chelsea or join Inter soon. I started to see the possibility of him to join Inter is bigger now. Because he has been not very contented with playing for Chelsea for some time and he already insinuated that his intention was to go back to Inter some time ago. We can't know whether he would play like while he was playing before leaving them again. Martinez and him were doing great together and maybe this duo can maintain their performance again in that case.

Milan are trying to bring a centre-forward now and the biggest candidate for this position is rumoured to be Gabriel Jesus. I don't know if they will manage to bring him here though as there are some Premier League teams that are after him at the same time. This is a big disadvantage for Milan as Gabriel Jesus has been playing here for a long time and his performance has been really satisfying too. Milan are just hopeful to sign a good striker before the new season starts. Because it is important to make the squad stronger taking the Champions League into account too.

Milan have to compete with several big clubs to get Gabriel Jesus, one of which is Chelsea and Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus is widely rumored to be leaving Manchester City but for now several clubs have started to establish communication with Jesus agents but there is no certainty where Jesus will dock in this transfer season. if milan is really interested in jesus i think milan should move fast to send a proposal at a higher price than chelsea and arsenal bids.

Because in this case, big teams from other leagues clearly dominate, so it is very difficult for Italian teams to compete there.
Some teams are good like Milan, Inter and other UCL teams but they will only be a complement because as you say, they lack consistency and their strength has dropped a lot now compared to a few years ago.

Italian teams have to learn how to win consistently if they probably want to achieve the Champions League trophy. The last Italian club to win the Champion League title was Inter Milan during the 2009/2010 season. Although, AC Milan also been a Italian club has won the trophy seven times making them the second most successful team in the Champion League after Real Madrid. Therefore, Italian clubs can do more better in the UCL. Truly, they basically need to sign more talented and experienced players.

But indeed this is very difficult to happen, now Apart from Serie A, which is currently in a financial crisis, they are also having difficulty maintaining consistency.
Serie A's era in the Champions League has seemed dim and is getting more and more so which makes this difficult for them.
I think it's still not possible to achieve something like this anymore, especially if you look at last season, only Inter and Juventus were able to compete until the knockout phase.

taking Pogba would be a great master stroke
if Juventus takes it good for them he is a great player

Pogba's playing style is suitable for Serie A, perhaps if he returns to Juventus it could add options to the game. Before playing at Man United with Juve Pogba performed great, in fact he became the best central midfielder at the time. In addition to that option perhaps Juve will need to add their preferred striker option after Dybala leaves. Dusan Vlahovic doesn't seem to be able to show his best performance yet. Although I was amazed when he debuted and made a goal. He is also young at Juventus, it seems that he is quite good, he just needs to play a lot to add to his experience.

But even then it is clear there will be readjustments because indeed he has been away from Serie A for a long time now and indeed this clearly requires re-adaptation. even though at that time his game was suitable, it is not necessarily like now it will be like before.
Actually I prefer other players like Di Maria who does have a good range and passes that spoil the Striker but it seems Juventus are still sticking with this French player.

However, we know that he had a good Juventus experience in the past. A country he knows will play with a team he knows. This is a big advantage for Pogba.  Likewise for Juventus. I think he will easily get through the adaptation process. He will quickly adapt to Serie A and show his top game.

Pogba will have a good experience again in Juventus because he knows well Juventus and its game style. Sure, he will be easy to adapt to Juventus because he ever played there. Pogba is also already familiar with most players in the Juventus squad, so he knows the nature of Juventus players. So, no doubt that Pogba seems to be successful at Juventus.

If we think back to Pogba's performance from 2012 to 2016, Pogba at that time managed to score 34 goals from 178 matches. And also Pogba
managed to help Juventus win 4 Serie A trophies, 2 Coppa Italia trophies and the Italian Super Cup. Knowing all of Pogba's success with Juventus,
of course there is no doubt that Pogba will adapt very quickly and can even rediscover his best form. Moreover, Pogba also told Football Italia that
he wanted to be himself and enjoy playing football, because according to Pogba enjoys what he is doing, it will make him happy and can perform well.
Knowing Pogba's statement, Juventus are not worried that Pogba will be taken by another team, and also Juventus are very sure that Pogba will make
a big contribution and can achieve success with Juventus again.

Juventus are very close to signing Paul Pogba now. They seem very confident about this deal and Pogba is also likely to go back to his old team. I think that this deal would be really good for both sides. Juventus have been playing with an average midfield for a long time. Paul Pogba is just the player they have been searching for. They must be thankful for him to have problems with Manchester United and leave. Pogba is a midfielder who can have many kinds of roles and he can lead the team to success.

I think Juventus need to reshuffle some of the players on the current line-up. I do not deny that they were part of the success of Juventus in the past. But now the situation is different, if they can't improve their performance then they will fall further behind. Refreshment in the squad, they have to do in my view.

I think so, mostly every club will renew or add certain players in the new season to make a better squad again. Juventus needs this moreover to overcome the older players. However, this will not be easy because they must also find the right players to add, including the position, who are appropriate to the team, the transfer fee or salary, and many more considerations.
I heard rumor that Juventus is now targeting Owen Wijndal, he is still young and has a good starting at the beginning. Maybe, this can be more additions to Juventus

[AndySt]

I would guess that age plays a big role in it as well. Dude is already 29 years old, which is young I agree with that, but he was like what 19 or something last time he was in United? Dude was so young, he was transferred to United reserves and not even United, then came back at like 23-24 or something to United. So, it is normal for a player to be sold when he is young, and rebought when he gains some more experience because there are connections between the clubs and the player. I am guessing that Pogba loved both clubs, and he just can't provide what he should to United anymore, I know 29 is young, but even his peak wasn't amazing, so his drop off would have been terrible for United.

If the player himself is not sure that he can give the maximum to Manchester United, then how can he be so sure that he will be able to give the maximum to another club, for example Juventus? If everything I've read about Pogba's return to Juventus is true, then it's more a matter of money and the fact that the player feels that Manchester United will not be able to achieve success in the near future, so the player has a desire to earn extra money by moving to another club, especially participating in the Champions League. Yes, they say that Italian clubs are not as rich now as, say, English ones, but thanks to the fact that while he comes to Juventus as a free agent, the club makes a good increase to his salary instead of paying this amount to Manchester United for a transfer.

[Tumanggor]

next season is a new start for milan because reportedly milan will introduce their new captain (Davide Calabria). Romagnoli reportedly going from Milan to another club (Lazio reportedly)

I'm sure Pirlo was not careless in choosing a captain, he must have believed in the spirit of leadership from Calabria

we certainly have no doubt about his achievement in Juventus, He also receives nominated as the best player in EUFA between 2015-2016 and has the honor to wear costume number 10, which Del Piero, Baggio, and Platini used. But, we have to look at his age factor to make miracles again. As we can see Ronaldo in MU before, he can't do the same when his age is still under 30 years. And, the rumors still continue, PSG will also interesting because Pogba is really want to play together with Zidane. So anything change still can happen.

The story for Pogba when he was young and now when he is matured (actually matured or not, you can judge it) is different obviously.

When he was young, he did not take too much responsibility and somewhat was free to play. Now he is no longer a young player and more responsibility on his shoulders in every match. He is a star now so he will require more privileges with his position, how he moves, how he contributes to attacking and defense systems.

I don't actually believe Pogba can play well in Juventus if he returns there. Juventus will have a waiting bomb in their club if they bring Pogba back to Turin.

I don't think age is a problem now, especially since he can still be said to be productive, which is 29 years old and can be said to be mature in my opinion, not too young and not too old.
As for this performance, we may only be able to see how it develops later on whether Serie A is still a suitable place for Pogba or not because it is indeed talking about Pogba's clear performance when he was at Manchester United.

even if he is not very young, if he buys it at a good price it is a valid element
honestly, I also wanted him in Atalanta, sure he could have played them for another two or three seasons
but I repeat, it depends how much it costs

Pogba will be able to contribute with his key passes for Vlahovic, for Juventus attacking system. However, the problem with Pogba and with Juventus is the player is very careless in midfield area. It is terrible because a careless moment can result in a conceded goal from counter attacking of opponent.

In addition to that option perhaps Juve will need to add their preferred striker option after Dybala leaves. Dusan Vlahovic doesn't seem to be able to show his best performance yet. Although I was amazed when he debuted and made a goal. He is also young at Juventus, it seems that he is quite good, he just needs to play a lot to add to his experience.

Dusan Vlahovic moved from Fiorentina to Juventus from the winter transfer and he did not have time to adapt to his new club. I don't judge his performance in the second half of last season is bad. It is acceptable enough if we take into consideration all disadvantage he had due to the winter transfer.

We will have a complete season to see how Vlahovic performs in Juventus. I believe he will perform very well after having a few months and the summer pre-season training to build up bonds with his mates.

even if he is not very young, if he buys it at a good price it is a valid element
honestly, I also wanted him in Atalanta, sure he could have played them for another two or three seasons
but I repeat, it depends how much it costs

Pogba is free now so it does not relate to cost of transfer to bring him back to Juventus or Serie A. I think you implied about cost with salary for Pogba and some unofficial cost for himself from the free transfer.

I think Paul Pogba still on golden age because he was 29 years old right now and still potential for Juventus how get good memorize success give Serie A and make Juventus lead to final UEFA Champion League 2015 although have defeated by Barcelona. I think still potential with Paul Pogba back to Juventus because he can be leader on midfielder how controlling games play. After losing Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo on midfielder area, Juventus losing great midfielder were good controlling games and right now with return back Paul Pogba could give good achievement for Juventus and get back scudetto after missing two season.

Yes, Pogba is more inclined to join Juventus than PSG but I don't know how much the transfer value or at least the salary offered, because even though Pogba is stronger to join Juventus but if PSG can provide a higher salary then it is very possible for Pogba to choose PSG. Moreover Pogba himself is French and that could make things easier but whatever the choice, either Juventus or PSG both are great teams but if Pogba chooses a more competitive league between the two then I think Serie A is the right choice.
