Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mr.right85]

There is not much time left for transfers, and all Juventus could do was get Pogba and Di Maria, everything else is just rumors. And the team has a very high probability to start the season even in worse squard, than it ended in the last. They say that will strengthen the defense if they sell de Ligt, and if they don't sell then what? A slightly strange position, I understand that Juventus apparently has no money for transfers, but then need to understand that the team will not achieve great results.

Until right now Juventus just got deal with Angel di Maria as and Paul Pogba as free transfer from PSG and Manchester United. Depending with several player have left Juventus I think need active in window transfer at several position needed like defender. Not enough with De Ligt and Bonucci on central defender because Juventus still need back up player can replace position on defender if some time De Ligt or Bonucci get injury. Not have new defender target by Juventus until and still watching who will be new defender for next season.

It's been a blast for the Old Lady, haven't lost some of there most iconic players to the transfers this season as to haven't offered there best and lost there youth in the likes of Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini, while Paulo Dybala had to leave on the terms that, he couldn't reach a deal with the management, following the termination of his contract period. He's clueless at the moment and I really thought of him for a hot cake on the market although, its rumored that he's got links with Inter Milan and that's another great destination for him.

Meanwhile, for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba to have joined the team is a breath of fresh air. Although Di Maria joined up on a 1year deal which I think it's more of trying him out considering his age but the player is skilled enough and have much experience to be equal to what ever task set for him. Paul Pogba on the other hand have had quite some experience with Juventus and its naturally expected he picks off from where he left off and that's good for the team.

not only that, let's remember how Juventus plays
likely 3-5-2 formation
with this kind of formations you have a lot of pressure on defense and on the wings, which literally have to run up and down quickly
you have at least 5 players under pressure of which 2 (the wings) really have to break their backs

Juventus have already got two new players brought in from Manchester United and Paris saint Germain, Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria. Now Juventus have to find a new defender left by Giorgio Chiellini and in my opinion, Juventus is less effective with the 3-5-2 formation often used by Massimiliano Allegri. The three defenders used on average are old such as Bonucci and Chiellini, of course, the energy they have is reduced in dealing with opponents who are much younger.

The three defenders used on average are old such as Bonucci and Chiellini, of course, the energy they have is reduced in dealing with opponents who are much younger.

They got Pogba and Di Maria without any transfer fee. They took advantage of contract expiration and signed with these players. I think they have to give these players good salary offers to bring them in Turin. No transfer fee, okay but let's pay me good salary especially Pogba.

Chiellini did not have considerable contribution for Juventus last season as he got many troubles with injuries. Moving to MLS will be last choice for Chiellini in very last seasons of his career. He can play in Italy for other clubs but it seems he did not want to play against Juventus.

Bonucci is a leader of Juventus defense now but I am very doubtful that he can do it well because he did failed in AC Milan with a same role. After one failed season in Milan, he returned to Juventus and played there until now. Another rumor is Juventus are going to sell De Ligt that will be big loss for their defense.

Meanwhile, for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba to have joined the team is a breath of fresh air. Although Di Maria joined up on a 1year deal which I think it's more of trying him out considering his age but the player is skilled enough and have much experience to be equal to what ever task set for him. Paul Pogba on the other hand have had quite some experience with Juventus and its naturally expected he picks off from where he left off and that's good for the team.

Di Maria is not too important with Juventus. Maybe they only signed with Di Maria and plan to use him in some matches or or substitutions. I think Di Maria will not get a solid position in debut squad of every match.

Pogba is more important for Juventus. Now he is 29 years old and his return to Turin is different than the first time he came there when he was very young. Now Pogba will play as a leader of Juventus' midfield and attacking system. He need freedom to play, without pressure, without negative things against him. Juventus agreed to bring him back so I guess they are ready to give Pogba what he wants, at least freedom to play with his free style.

my friend you are right, I agree with you
but it's a question of money
even when Juventus took Cristiano Ronaldo they did it for a (commercial) return of money not for the player himself
Juventus thinks like this, tries to survive at exaggerated costs

[fullhdpixel]

Napoli are very close to selling Koulibaly right now. I wonder who they think of bringing into his place in the team. He is a very experienced defender so they might want to search for a defender like him again. I believe they need a left winger also. They have two young players for that position actually but they would make use of an experienced and more reliable one in the lineup. Napoli need to strengthen the squad more in short to be able to win the Serie A title in the near future.

Koulibaly was very impressive in last season with most of time Napoli was on pole position for title but sadly at the end of season they have serious trouble and down and out with AC Milan and Inter both takes top positions now with the selling of this quality player to Chelsea look like they are going to have some serious trouble in next season because Inter, Juventus and Roma strengthening their teams and try to have top rank and Napoli is selling their player without any suitable replacement which is going to have big impact on their performance with tough competition they can go down badly.

With having no quality players and staying silent in this transfer window, most chances they will be faced difficult in next season for staying into top four.

[JeWay]

maybe the names of the players brought in by Juventus are not foreign to our ears but on the AC Milan side they are recruiting players whose player names may for some people are still quite foreign or rarely heard he is Yacine Adli who was officially signed recently. I have seen Yacine Adli videos spread on youtube, he is a young player who has good talent and I believe Maldini choice in this transfer window is a potential star player in AC Milan next season.

It's really shocking that Pogba had to snub his former club even when they wanted a contract renewal and chose to go to Juventus on a free transfer. Is this move done out of spite? Because the player has agreed to a four year contract deal to also be paid £7m anually and £130,000 weekly. Quite low for a good player of his station.

[ShowOff]

Another rumor is Juventus are going to sell De Ligt that will be big loss for their defense.

Of course it will be very detrimental to Juventus if they do not get a commensurate replacement. But if it is true that Juventus want to sell De Ligt, then I believe they may be very close to a potential replacement this season. Or maybe it's just a rumor, but if it's true then it's a big loss. But of course the situation will benefit other teams such as Inter, Milan and Napoli.

Pogba and Di Maria are good players and I believe they can still be relied on by Juventus. But without a strong defense it will be very difficult for Juventus to fight for the title. But I don't expect them to be as good as expected because I may still believe in the potential of Milan who will defend the title.

Yacine Adli is not a new player for AC Milan, he was bought from Bordeaux last season, but Milan keeping him playing with Bordeaux last season with Loan status. His current status is as a player returning from a loan. If he is not loaned out again, then this will be his first season playing for Rossoneri. Last season he playing 36 matches with Bordeaux, and creating 1 goal, not really good, but i agree, he is young, hopefully he can adapt with Milan strategy.

Like I haven't heard or seen a possible replacement for de Ligt if he does leaves eventually. Koullibaly I had in mind has agreed deals already with Chelsea.
Cause attacking without good defending is useless, some issues Manchester United had last season and two seasons.
Paul Pogba and Di Maria are great additions, they will propel the Juventus forward. I think they're good to go they are also my first choice to win the asides Jose Mourinho.

Of course they will be the new ammunition. Although at Man United Pogba is not at his maximum, I think if in Serie A he would be better because of the slower tempo of the league.
While Angel Di Maria, despite being quite old with PSG he is still playing well. I believe his experience is useful for Juventus. With a tempo that I think is similar to Ligue 1 he will quickly adapt there.

Pogba definitely needs to play with his own style, if you try to dominate him, he can't play what he wants. This happened last season, actually he was injured in a part of last season, as far as I remember, if he doesn't have an injury problem again, I think Pogba will give Juventus what he wants very easily in the midfield. Also certainly, he will make good contributions to the team in Di Maira, but I am not sure if he will always be on the field or if he will be kept in the back-up plan.

[Coyster]

Pogba definitely needs to play with his own style, if you try to dominate him, he can't play what he wants.

Pogba is a fantastic player with loads of talent, but i will not make any excuses for him with his time in United, asides injuries obviously, but when he was fit and given the opportunity to play he definitely didn't play to the best of his ability, and that is not because he wasn't allowed to play his own style or anything of that sort, he was more of a liability to the team than an asset and there is no arguing that fact. He is back to Juve, the club he played his best football, i hope we get to see that talent we missed all this years in United, i have the feeling Pogba feels happier in Turin than at Old Trafford, if that be the case then he should do well, the lad has so much talent, and he is yet to even showcase it on a consistent level, maybe he also needs to put in some hardwork and commitment.

With having no quality players and staying silent in this transfer window, most chances they will be faced difficult in next season for staying into top four.

Kalidou Koulibaly, the star player for Napoli, has been confirmed by Luciano Spalletti, the club's coach, to depart this summer. Chelsea is said to have agreed to pay Napoli's asking price of 40 million euros for the player.
Because Koulibaly is a very strong player and if he stays with Napoli, Koulibaly is anticipated to wear the Napoli captain's armband next season. Koulibaly is one of the Napoli players who had the highest average points in his appearances last season.
The fee Napoli had offered Chelsea has finally been agreed upon, and the 31-year-old is now scheduled to fly to England for a medical, so it appears likely that he will join Chelsea.
If Napoli doesn't attempt to recruit players during this summer's transfer window, I believe they will find it difficult to crack the top four of Serie A the following year.

It is actually very ironic. But I have to say he was a lot overhyped, and that led Manchester United to buy him for such a big amount of money. But he did not perform well at all in Manchester United. If I remember correctly, he did have some good times but that did not last long. I am just happy that he is back at Juventus and I hope to see a really effective performance from him at Juventus. And this is more likely to happen because he does not have too much pressure on him that he had while playing for Manchester United because of the money.

pogba says "Juve is my home and I feel much happier here". We'll see what Pogba can give Juve after he didn't make a big contribution to Manchester United

many who support the return of pogba to juve but many also doubt the performance of pogba at juve. I myself really doubt the appearance of pogba at juve

Things like this are bound to happen, regardless of what Pogba's move has given him a pretty big impact, especially with his free transfer, of course there are pros and cons there.
Performance issues will still be a matter of speculation until he can show his action when Serie A starts later.
But indeed there is great hope for Juventus at this time, especially with the recovery of Chiesa, Dusan who last season was the top scorer and the presence of Di Maria and Pogba in midfield.

[RealMalatesta]

not only that, let's remember how Juventus plays
likely 3-5-2 formation

Juventus have already got two new players brought in from Manchester United and Paris saint Germain, Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria.

The three defenders used on average are old such as Bonucci and Chiellini, of course, the energy they have is reduced in dealing with opponents who are much younger.

They might be in even bigger trouble. Chiellini left, but De ligt has some interested parties as well. If he leaves as that that is 2 giant wholes in the defense that they need to fill. Di Maria is certainly not a bad transfer and Pogba will be a big deal as well, those are good, even great.

But, if they can't handle the defense, that is not going to matter all that much. These people are some of the greatest defenders they had in a while, and both leaving on the same season would create some trouble for them. Maybe De ligt would stay, it is not guaranteed but at the same time it is not going to be a big deal if he leaves and brings in a lot of money so they could get 2 others.

I would advise you not to be optimistic about the fact that de Ligt will still remain at the club. In fact, Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri already made it clear yesterday that de Ligt has been sold and that they will find an adequate replacement for him in the transfer market. Well, if the head coach of the team says so, then the fans of the team can only hope that the team already has the necessary candidates in mind and this player can really become a normal replacement for de Ligt. As far as I know, the player himself wants to move to Bayern Munich and Juventus had previously rejected an offer from Bayern of 60 million plus 10 million in the form of various bonuses.

This may be a little difficult for De Ligt considering that in this case it is reported that De Ligt has also reached an agreement even though it is only personal.
But on the other hand, the possibility will always exist, especially in this case, Juventus did not give Bayern any space to buy De Ligt, even at a high price.
Now the transfer market is still going on and there is still time so anything is possible.

I saw in some news that de ligt was ready to go to chelsea and some news also circulated that juventus rejected an offer from bayern munich so indirectly chelsea became the winner to get de ligt because there is no big club anymore that can give that much money only for a defender, because with that kind of money at least you can get a very good attacking player and can score a lot of goals because in a football game the most important thing is to be able to score a lot of goals so that you get a high point value.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11010433/Edinson-Cavani-talks-Monza-despite-having-previously-seeked-Spain.html

The new Serie A team Monza are rumoured to be interested in signing Edinson Cavani for free. Cavani is 35 years old now and I believe that he would play football for at least one more season. He can still be a very useful striker actually so Monza would benefit from his power a lot. Manchester United would have kept him for one more season actually. Anthony Martial was loaned to Sevilla and Cavani was a good substitute for Ronaldo. Now they might not be eager to loan Martial again.
