Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

I think Milan did the right thing avoiding the deal to bring Gabriel Jesus. They have good attacking options and needed to fill a simple void which Origi fits perfectly. Origi is a reliable back up compared to Jesus and relatively cheaper too. Why spend 50m on Gabriel Jesus when you can get Origi for free (they have similar stats by the way, with origi playing less games too)

Does Milan avoid the deal? Are you sure?
As far as I know, Arsenal beats Milan in competing to sign Jesus. We still can't say Milan has good options for their attacking right now because most of them are old strikers (Giroud, Ibrahimovic). Milan should get more strikers, it is not enough to rely on Origi only. However, there is no longer chance to sign Jesus, he is Arsenal player right now. Milan should target another striker to fill their attacking line with new younger players.

Giroud seemed to have had his best days at Arsenal but has blossomed again with the Milan team. It is also remarkable if you compare the spites of the French national team with each other. Giroud has done a lot for Milan. I don't think they would have become champions without him either. He will remain with Milan and will also see it as a challenge to show himself in the CL. He may one day want to make a transfer to a top club.

It is actually crazy to say that Inter just sold this player for 97 million if I am correct and one year later that same player is back on the team.

What a waste of money by Chelsea!

I don’t want to offend anyone but I never thought he was worth that much money. But getting this player on the loan is also not bad for Inter. If Lautaro Martinez decides to stay in the team as well I think the attacking lineup is going to be really strong for them going into the next season.

And not like this didn't happen before. Dude played awesome in Serie A before, and then went to Premier league before and then returned back to Serie A before as well. All of this happened and yet Chelsea believed that this time it was different and tried something and they failed again.

This is just not the type of situation they should be proud about at all, they really didn't do their scouting very well. Scouting is not just finding talented young players, it's also checking the already established players and try to figure out if they would be a good fit to your team or not. Inter once again managed to be a cheap team with a cheap owner and still get good players.

It must be feeling amazing for Romelu Lukaku to go back to the team where he sees as home. It is a loan agreement for now maybe but we never know what will happen near the end of his contract. It is going to be dependent on his performance obviously. Inter must be very contented with his effort the last time he played for them. Their expectations would be similar to that. If he manages to perform like that then I'd expect this deal to be permanent later on.

Giroud is 35 years old so it is unlikely for him to get better opportunities at this age even if he remains useful. His contract will expire next year so he might extend it with Milan if he will have a good season with them or join a medium team somewhere else in Europe or simply go to retire in USA or go back to his home France.

I admit that Olivier Giroud's contribution was enormous for AC Milan, Giroud has scored many important goals for AC Milan this season and helped
AC Milan win the Serie A trophy. So it is very feasible for Giroud to get a new contract if next season Giroud can still make a good contribution
to AC Milan. But I'm not sure if there are other European teams who are still interested in Giroud even though his performances with AC Milan are
quite good. So if Giroud's contract is not extended by AC Milan next season, there is a possibility that Giroud will retire, because he will be 36 years old
next year. Therefore, AC Milan brought Divock Origi in preparation as a replacement for Giroud, whose contract will expire next season. Because
I doubt Giroud can be like Ibrahimovic who can play until he is 40 years old.

Now I think that Inter are much stronger with the Lukaku transfer. Even if it is a loan deal I see it as good for them. Because I remember the season Conte's Inter had and won the Serie A title. In that season Lukaku and Martinez both showed incredible performances. They were a superb duo I mean. Therefore I'm expecting to see the same thing again.

Lukaku ever experienced a great season with Inter Milan previously, but no guarantee to repeat. However, he has the chance to give his best again and helps Inter Milan to achieve its target for the next season. Not sure he will experience a great season again with Inter Milan, but having Lukaku surely makes Inter Milan attacking stronger. Inter has many options for attackers but relying on the duo Lukaku-Martinez isn't a bad idea. I agree that Lukaku and Martinez are the strongest strikers that Inter Milan has for the next season.

Why, I have no doubt that Giroud will still be able to find another team in any case if he leaves Milan. Another question is on what conditions it will be done and in which club and which championship, and therefore I think that the option with Milan is optimal for both the player and the club itself. Giroud fits perfectly into both the championship itself and the style of play that Stefano Pioli preaches. If only health would allow and there would be a desire to continue his career, yet at this age it is no longer worth looking too far and indeed one season is an excellent horizon for planning.

You can say that once more and I will agree with you a thousand times.
Won the Fifa World Cup with France, won the Europa league with Chelsea, won the Champions League with Chelsea, now winning the Seria A league with AC Milan.
The French player has achieved a lot since leaving Arsenal. Arsenal was a problem ? Not at all.

He has achieved alot,and he is always the most preffered forward in the French national team,where they have attackers like Benzema,and other strong attackers,but because of his areal threat,composure on the ball,he has always been used,and he delivers the team most atimes.
He was a success at Arsenal too,he scored a couple of goals that that helped them at that time too,now he is at Milan and he is still doing well.

The club is well known for recruiting players based on experience and records. This is a team who still field players who are aged 30 plus so its no surprise to me if they want to sign Di maria at age 34. They believe experience gets the job done so I don't think Juventus wanting to sign Di maria at this current stage of his carrer are worried about getting top performance from him.

Juventus have no plans for the long term. Their goal is to perform well next season. Because their performance last season was completely unstable. And so they want to take Di Maria to the team. Di Maria is a very talented player. Although he is older, but his fitness is good. It looks like he will be able to serve the team well for the next few seasons.

Juventus currently does not have a new player to land in Turin and the latest news says that only di Maria wants to be brought in from PSG but the transfer process has not been realized.because Juventus must immediately improve next season considering their poor performance in European competitions and also domestic last season where they could only finish in 4th place even though we knew beforehand that they were serious challengers in the race for the Scudetto title.but they stumbled last season

I had seen over there in the speculations that they want to take other PL players, however they want the noodle there?? where did you see that news? a transfer of the Di María fideo would make a big difference there, Juve has a lot of history, in fact I like Juv a lot because Buffón was a legendary player and also the passage of CR7 put Juve at a very high level, however I I really like the way they play, I think they have a very good forward, but they need to understand each other as a team, I don't know but if they want to win the sccudeto they have to make their team understand each other more on the court, they can't exploit Di María's noodle as much , his physique does not allow it, when he played for Real Madrid they played him for a maximum of 45 minutes, he is very skinny and easily gets injured, but he defines games at any time.

Now I think that Inter are much stronger with the Lukaku transfer. Even if it is a loan deal I see it as good for them. Because I remember the season Conte's Inter had and won the Serie A title.

You're right, Lukaku and Martinez are the best for me, in fact between the two of them if they manage to do well they will be able to make an unstoppable duo, also Italian football needs a fairly explosive attack, judging that for me all Italian teams present the best defense in the world, it would be a great balance to have a pair of strikers like these.

@Minor Miner Juventus are signing him for one year only, which clearly shows that he’s not in their long term plan and that is not how you rebuild a club that’s had two poor seasons back to back. @LUCKMFLY Lukaku only performs when he feels loved and he knows the fans at Inter adore him so expect him to score many goals for Inter this season, and furthermore linking up with Martinez he’s bound to win many matches for Inter.

Milan have missed the opportunity of signing Gabriel Jesus as he is officially an Arsenal player from now on. Their search for a striker is still going on and I wonder if they will manage to bring a solid one like Gabriel Jesus to the team. Next season is going to be very challenging for them in the Serie A and the Champions League both. They need to consolidate their squad as much as possible to have a decent season. It is going to be difficult for them to win the Serie A championship twice so they should get prepared well.

I think, Milan will definitely get a talented new striker that will be more active than Gabriel Jesus in this season, because their managements are seriously looking for talented striker that will help the team to perform well in next season. Milan really performed well from the beginning of this season, despite they were lacking in the areas of midfielders and strikers but they still demonstrated well to make their fans happy. Based on the arrangement of the Milan so far, I think they will definitely win next season Series A champions league title because their managements are about to get a talented striker that will help them to achieve victory in all the matches.

Until now I haven't heard that they have found a player they will sign after losing Jesus. Maybe they are still sorting out players who will strengthen their current attack to navigate next season in Serie A and also other stages. If you look at the existing ones, who do you think is suitable to fill AC Milan's vacancy now?

Paul Pogba contract ended with Man United last night.
In the next coming days,he should be signing and agreeing on a deal with Juventus.
Same goes to Angel Di Maria, Juventus should be making final conclusion for him. Barcelona made approach for him but having mixed options getting them backing off silently.

so having terminated the contract, correct me if I'm wrong .. Juventus takes it at no cost
that is, he only has to pay his salary and pay nothing to the team?
in this case it would be excellent, it would be a great saving that can turn in favor of the salary: D

Maybe in the next few hours they will come to his contract at Juventus, I can't wait for their performance at Juventus. Although this is nothing new for Pogba, but with the current Juventus squad, I think something will definitely be different. But even so, I do not doubt their performance and contribution next season with Juventus because I believe, Juventus will be stronger and better than before.

Today should be the day of announcement of Paul Pogba to Juventus, hope that he will retrieve his best form here. Anyway, I've heard also something About CR7 to Roma, and that his announcement to Roma is going to

arrive. I don't really believe it, but let's see if this is true or not 

[jakdanyel]

Challenging ? Do you think Gabriel Jesus would have been a better player than Divock Origi ? Zlatan Ibrahimovic ? Yes Zlatan is injured but I believe he would continue a season with AC Milan.
From time, Gabriel's agent has always has aired some talks about he's client playing for a club in the premier league.  Also been close to Arteta must have made the deal easy.
I believe Ac Milan will make with into the Champions League and play very well. Ibrahimovic may likely sign an extension once he returns from rehabilitation center.

Personally yes I think that Gabriel Jesus would have been a better choice than Origi. In my opinion, he has a much bigger talent than Origi now. We can even understand it when we compare their stats in their careers so far. Both of them are centre-forwards but Gabriel Jesus has been much more productive than Origi. But at this point there is another fact that Milan can buy Origi for free. This can change something for them for sure. I would like to see Origi performing much better at Milan. Don't get me wrong I don't underestimate him. I just state my opinion about the comparison between Gabriel Jesus and him.

I think Milan did the right thing avoiding the deal to bring Gabriel Jesus. They have good attacking options and needed to fill a simple void which Origi fits perfectly. Origi is a reliable back up compared to Jesus and relatively cheaper too. Why spend 50m on Gabriel Jesus when you can get Origi for free (they have similar stats by the way, with origi playing less games too)

I wouldn't say that they have similar stats actually. I checked the stats of both players so far and saw this:

Gabriel Jesus - 288 matches, 116 goals, 52 assists
Divock Origi - 302 matches, 65 goals, 27 assists

Gabriel Jesus performed better last season too.

You're right, with Romelo Lukaku, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is not interested in long-term planning. He is also skeptical of Lukaku's performance. Because Lukaku's performance with Chelsea was not satisfactory. But Lukaku is definitely a world-class player. If he works hard, he will be able to score many goals in his next season with Inter Milan. And if he is lazy then I don't think he will be able to stay with any other renowned team in the future.
