Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[babo]

AS Roma is one of the clubs vying for the Scudetto this season; they did their best to blend in, but things did not go as planned. José Mourinho is one of the coaches with extensive expertise in football; yet, I do not believe they are capable of winning the scudetto next season, and they lack high-quality players in comparison to other elite clubs.

Mourinho has ambitions to sign players this season; he's interested in signing Greenwood on a possible loan deal, and he still has other names on his list that he intends to finalize before the end of the transfer market.

Roma performance this season wasn't all that impressive, but I'm confident that it will look fantastic next season because the team has good plans, and when a team has good plans, we should expect good things to happen. Roma put forth a lot of effort this season in both the serie A league and the europa league because they even reached the final stage; they just weren't fortunate enough to win the title.
Greenwood is also a good player, and we all know he can perform well. Because of this, I think Roma will do better the following season than they did this one.

I didn't understand a thing about Roma
Will Jose Mourinho stay or go?
I didn't understand that he wants to play this spoiled child
as you well know I don't like him at all, I consider him an overpaid jerk
but maybe I'm wrong

There are some updates from intermilan:

Inter stated that if onana will stay for another year. It's caused by MU has no money to buy onana. Intermilan gave last chance for MU to complete onana's transfer before the deadline but inter wants MU to pay what asked by intermilan.
Intermilan has reached an agreement with frattesi from sassuolo as a replacement for brozovic that has been leaving to the al nassr.
Bastoni's contract extended till 2028

https://sempreinter.com/2023/07/05/sassuolo-ceo-carnevali-confirms-davide-frattesi-move-to-inter-milan/

I think that intermilan is now having two main concerns that must be completed as soon as possible.

1. Intermilan shall try to make finalization for the decision of lukaku.
2. Interimlan needs to find a replacement for milan skriniar which has been leaving from club

[Davian144]

Ac Milan is trying to find a right winger and Cristian Pulisic is thought to be the right fit for the position. Pulisic will be plotted to replace the role left by Brahim Diaz who returned to Real Madrid after his loan period expired. Diaz was recalled by Madrid after three years on loan, it looks like El Real needs Diaz next season because he has officially released Marco Assensio to PSG.

Apart from Brahim Diaz, who must return to Real Madrid after his loan period ends, Real Madrid has also brought in a new young player named Arda Guler from Fenerbahce to complete the right midfield position. And now it is AC Milan's job to monitor the transfer market so they can get a good replacement in the position left by Brahim Diaz so that AC Milan can become even stronger next season. But it would be even better if AC Milan managed to get Cristian Pulisic to fill that position next season.

Inter is moving a lot
he has money to spend again I see, let's hope he spends it intelligently and not badly as usual
in the end it's not that if you spend a lot of money it's good, you have to spend it well and get serious and good players

[hahay]

His performance in the national team was not so impressive. Many people called him as meguire's brother as he has been making so many fault in his career.
Mostly of his fault were the same as what meguire did with manchester united. I do agree if lukaku is still lack of finishing skill. He shall improve this so much.

I don't know why players like Lukaku are still being targeted by Chelsea because so far he has lost his best abilities. We'll see at Chelsea that I'm pretty optimistic Lukaku won't really show a positive result. Even though he is a player who contributes quite a lot of goals, in the end he always makes blunders in the opponent's defense, including being a player who abandons his own friends when he wants to score goals. trying to compete in the Premier League again? it's not the right solution, however, he will be on the bench a lot because he is no longer productive.

It's not about Chelsea wanting Lukaku, but the fact that Lukaku is still under contract at Chelsea. Lukaku played at Inter last season on loan and at the end of the season his loan expired and thus, Lukaku had to return to Chelsea. So, it is not about Chelsea who are interested in signing Lukaku and anyway, Chelsea are ready to sell him but unfortunately, the offer from Inter and maybe from other clubs is still not acceptable to Chelseaa especially about the nominal proposed.

unfortunately this is the harsh reality, the players really cost a lot of money: if a rich team with a lot of money like Inter can't buy him, they just have to make another loan if they don't want to keep him on the bench. In my opinion

[boltz]

Honestly I think Inter shouldn't sign Lukaku back while he is this much bad. He is longer the Lukaku we know. His past performances in the previous seasons with Inter were much better than this. He was like a goal machine together with Lautaro Martinez. But now that performance is long gone. At least this season showed this to us.

I see him performing really well only at his national team. He continues to score many goals there. As long as he doesn't improve his finishing skills again I don't see a move to Inter as sensible for him. But if he can promise to work harder from now on then Inter can give him a second chance.

Well , Lukaku is a great striker but he is not a striker that brings important victories or score where the team needs him at most so that is why I agree with you on Inter shouldn't sign Lukaku.

Now , who is gonna replace Lukaku at inter ? they don't have any other striker because Dzeko already has an age that won't allow him to perform like he did 1 or 2 years ago so maybe Inter will chose to keep Lukaku because in Premier League no one wants him right ? Maybe Newcastle because I don't see him joining on bottom of EPL teams.

[indah rezqi]

Christian Pulisic is very close to AC Milan but this player's performance has been very lagging with Chelsea last season so I don't think this is a good option for AC Milan.
So far AC MIlan has not made any moves in the transfer market to make their team stronger in the next season even after the departure of andro Tonali who even though he has received fresh funds for AC MIlan because such a large transfer was made by Newcastle but AC Milan has not used those funds to buy some other good players.

I believe Pulisic can prove his quality with Milan if he officially joins them. At Chelsea, we know that Pulisic is not getting regular playing time because of the intense competition in the winger position. Chelsea have a lot of quality players in that position and automatically make it less likely for Pulisic to get regular playing time. Pulisic is still very young at 24 years old, he still has the potential to continue to grow at Milan and could become a club legend one day. But until now there has been no official news from Pulisic or the two Clubs, hopefully he can wear a Milan uniform for next season.

Most recently Milan has made a second offer at a higher price of 24 million pounds from the previous 15 million pounds to Chelsea. I don't think they will have a hard time letting Pulisic go with that figure considering that Pulisic is also interested in joining Ac Milan.

But unfortunately, Inter Milan have already fallen in love with Lukaku and are still their main priority for next season, although Lukaku performance also is not good as the 2020-21 season. Currently Inter Milan also have a striker who might be able to better than Lukaku, Marcus Thuram seems to be a suitable replacement in the centre-forward position, and there is a possibility that Lukaku will not go to Inter Milan again because at the moment Inter also do not have sufficient funds to bring Lukaku from Chelsea.

When Pulisic was about to turn 20, I thought that he will be one of those guys who is one of the hottest and most expensive transfers in the market. But he couldn't play on the same level many games in a row and that was his biggest problem in Chelsea. It was disappointing to see that someone with his talent is not able to be accepted into the first eleven players of the team. He played some games that caused my jaw to drop when he won his duels with his impressive dynamic, but then the next game he wasn't even average and lost most of his duels and couldn't cause any danger in the opponent half. When he now goes to AC Milan he will still have to remedy these fluctuations in his performances. Milan is not a club without ambitions where somebody can play below the maximum potential. If he can't remedy it, he will find himself sitting on the bench again.

AS Roma is one of the clubs vying for the Scudetto this season; they did their best to blend in, but things did not go as planned. José Mourinho is one of the coaches with extensive expertise in football; yet, I do not believe they are capable of winning the scudetto next season, and they lack high-quality players in comparison to other elite clubs.
Mourinho has ambitions to sign players this season; he's interested in signing Greenwood on a possible loan deal, and he still has other names on his list that he intends to finalize before the end of the transfer market.

Roma performance this season wasn't all that impressive, but I'm confident that it will look fantastic next season because the team has good plans, and when a team has good plans, we should expect good things to happen. Roma put forth a lot of effort this season in both the serie A league and the europa league because they even reached the final stage; they just weren't fortunate enough to win the title.
Greenwood is also a good player, and we all know he can perform well. Because of this, I think Roma will do better the following season than they did this one.

I didn't understand a thing about Roma
Will Jose Mourinho stay or go?
I didn't understand that he wants to play this spoiled child
as you well know I don't like him at all, I consider him an overpaid jerk
but maybe I'm wrong

I also think that he is certainly overpaid and also overhyped. Whatever he has achieved so far in his career was with really great squad. He achieved things with squad that any coach could have done well with. But at the same time, it is also true that he has certainly done well with Roma in the last season. Maybe not as well as some people expected.

But I will say that as his first season as the coach of Roma. He certainly did a decent job. I think Roma is going to give him time. If he is given enough time and support money, he will be able to achieve better results in the next season. I also believe Roma should not change the manager right now. That is going to affect the chemistry of the team badly in my opinion. I am always going to say that instead of changing managers, they should give the manager which is currently managing the team a little more time.

[bitgolden]

I personally do not doubt the greatness of the current coach of AS Roma, namely Jose Mourinho. It's just that a great coach will not be enough to make a team perfect in playing on the field. It takes more great players who certainly also have a fairly high price. And actually AS Roma is lacking quality players at the moment. But even so Mourinho has always managed to make good use of the players he has. And can bring out the best performance.

Even in the last 2 seasons Mourinho was able to bring AS Roma to 6th place with mediocre players. For now AS Roma has only gotten 2 new players from the transfer market and both are players with free transfer status. The 2 players are Evan Ndicka who will strengthen the position of central defender and Houssem Aouar who will strengthen the midfielder for AS Roma.

Mourinho can't get a success all by himself, if the team he is managing is not good enough to win the title then they are not going to win just because Mourinho is a good manager. I do believe that they can have a better result, but looking at the teams, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli, these four are amazing teams that could win it and I am sensing that Roma could be fifth at the best case and they are going to have to fight against Lazio to do that as well.

I am not saying it is impossible for them to win the title, nobody guessed Napoli would win the title with this much point difference neither and in the end we have seen them do this well so I am quite sure Roma has a chance. However, it is not going to be easy to sell to say the least, they need some good players.

We need to understand that form is something that is not stable, it comes and and goes time to time. A players form can be affected by different factors so it is very difficult to maintain a stable form for long the only players tha have done it for almost 20 years are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and i believe they are the only players that can do it. Lukaku is just currently going through a drop in form and its only temporal if he is determined to improve so i still believe he can regain his form back just like Rashford did this season in Manchester united. Inter knows what he is capable thats why they are still interested in buying him from chelsea permanently even after his poor performance in the champions league. National team football is always different from club side football because mostly there are no pressure playing for your country side.

Greenwood is also a good player, and we all know he can perform well. Because of this, I think Roma will do better the following season than they did this one.

AS Roma hasn't consistent performance last season although ever on positive trend but difficult winning against top standing teams, Jose Mourinho still failure second season with AS Roma after finishing on 6th standings placed and not qualify to Champion League next season. Actually is logical what achievement from AS Roma, Jose Mourinho difficult for signing star player without have much money for transferring new player.

Greenwood have been absent almost one season after suspended by Manchester United due criminal cases happen with him, I don't sure with Jose Mourinho want to get him as loan option from Manchester United. Can back to the top perform for Greenwood after long time not participant in competition?

If he can't remedy it, he will find himself sitting on the bench again.

Pulisic actually showed a lot of promise. He was getting known all around the world. But obviously, I think he has not delivered the type of performance that was expected from him. Now I think we all understand that Chelsea did not perform as well as they should have in the last season. So obviously the team morale was not the best. I believe a change of club and also a change of place can actually affect his mentality a lot in a positive way. I hope that it’s going to affect him positively.

Milan is also trying to improve and we can say that Milan did not perform as well as they should have in this season. They will be going for the title in the next season and Pulisic will have to remember that he is supposed to be a big asset for the club. He will have to perform accordingly.

In fact, if Inter Milan really admits that Romelu Lukaku is very profitable, Inter Milan should try to take over Romelu Lukaku to be permanent, no matter what Chelsea offers.
Because even Chelsea will not give a high price for Inter Milan after working together for so long to loan Romelu Lukaku.

There are some updates from intermilan:

Inter stated that if onana will stay for another year. It's caused by MU has no money to buy onana. Intermilan gave last chance for MU to complete onana's transfer before the deadline but inter wants MU to pay what asked by intermilan.
Intermilan has reached an agreement with frattesi from sassuolo as a replacement for brozovic that has been leaving to the al nassr.
Bastoni's contract extended till 2028

https://sempreinter.com/2023/07/05/sassuolo-ceo-carnevali-confirms-davide-frattesi-move-to-inter-milan/

I think that intermilan is now having two main concerns that must be completed as soon as possible.

1. Intermilan shall try to make finalization for the decision of lukaku.
2. Interimlan needs to find a replacement for milan skriniar which has been leaving from club

Inter is moving a lot
he has money to spend again I see, let's hope he spends it intelligently and not badly as usual
in the end it's not that if you spend a lot of money it's good, you have to spend it well and get serious and good players

Inter Milan can try hiring Lukaku for the rest of the season and they can pay the money to Chelsea they earned from selling some players but if they do that, they invested in a 30y old player who can't bring a long-term plan for them while instead of investing for this old player they can hire younger talents and help them grow just like what they do in other teams and this way Inter Milan can have cheaper and better players. Instead of Lukaku.

They could try the loan option again for Lukaku from Chelsea, if Inter's financial situation does not support buy him. It all depends  if Inter still feel Lukaku's contribution is neede for the club although I have little doubt Inter will use Lukaku again after the end of this season.
However, as you said, Marcus Thuram could be an option to replace for Inter Milan's attack line

He did play quite well when he returned and he also scored so there isn't that much concern that it wouldn't work out, but Chelsea is asking a good amount of money and Inter might not be wiling to give Lukaku the kind of contract that he wants to have. I assume that he wants a three year contract since this will most likely be the last contract he would sign for a club in Europe unless something unforeseen happens. That in turn could make him quite expensive. 35-40 million plus the salary. It is not an easy decision for Inter.

Lukaku is obviously not the same player he used to be. While a drop in form is not unprecedented, the discrepancy between his club and national team play is cause for concern. Is it possible that he is unable to adapt to the club's current system, or that the club is no longer a nurturing atmosphere for his potential?

Inter may change their minds if they see proof that he is making genuine efforts to improve. However, that's a risky proposition. The opportunity cost should also be taken into account. For example, Marcus Thuram looks like a good replacement for the starting centre position. While Lukaku recovers, he might provide Inter with a breath of new air. This is a tricky choice, right?
