Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[tusandii]

The reason why Juventus doesn't want to keep Pogba is obvious, he got "tainted" with this whole thing and they are doing alright, they do not want to get him back to the team and play him and make some chaos happen in the team in the locker room.

I am not saying if he starts playing then he will cause trouble, but others could cause trouble, even if one of the players says something about this drug thing to him then we are going to end up with a lot of trouble and we can't really see anything changing all that easily. This is why we need to consider how this could be a very different situation for them and we need to focus on what to do next.

I believe Pogba at some other team would be a lot better and I can see him playing at Saudi league exactly because of this reason. Because there, he will be the best player or thereabouts when he joins a team and he is going to show how talented he is and he is not going to get players say anything to him, would be a risk to the other player, because unless they are better than Pogba, which only a handful of players in that entire league is, then we are going to see team side with Pogba, making him feel better about himself instead.

Before Pogba was caught in a doping case, we know that he received an offer from an Arab team. So I think he will also get a return offer when his sentence is up. Moreover, currently his contract with Juventus has also been terminated. So currently Pogba is on free status. So from now on there will be a lot of talk from clubs who want the player's services. And one club from France is also interested in Pogba. And many see it as a good opportunity for Pogba. But if Pogba wants to be more reliable at a club then going to an Arab club is the best choice. Because I'm sure an offer will come to Pogba from a club from the SPL.

In the past he was a good player not only Saudi Arabian clubs were interested in him there were several top clubs who were still interested in him but now the situation is different only a few European league clubs are interested and so far only Marseille has shown interest in him but offers from Saudi Arabian clubs are still there until now especially if they do not need to spend money to recruit this player then they will be more aggressive in approaching this player, if I were Pogba I would prefer to join a Saudi Arabian club to restore his finances and there he can also get a bigger salary compared to if he was in France which is likely to only get a standard salary, his current age is also getting older I think it will be difficult for him to balance his game.

They are Capocannoniere winners when they were very old and many people did not know about Dario Hubner before a season he won Capocannoniere in big surprise.

You unlocked memories for me with Dario Hubner and Toni, oh my how long time..
I remember not very well the time he played, i was a child
I remember well, or rather better, when Toni had a scary season.

Today I don't see who could do better than them, I don't know why

With a new season, new manager that has history in winning trophies, do you think Napoli are back to the form they were when they won the league title in the season 22/23? To me that was an impressive display we saw back then. Now we have Napoli topping the league after a failed start up this very campaign and no one thought they would be at the top till this very moment, out of 7 games 5 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. That's a good one from Conte, doesn't it mean that the new manager is going to transform the club to be a much stronger title contender this season? What are we to expect from Napoli?

No doubt, with the result we have seen so far from Napoli, I think one will easily conclude that they are on the right track, they have lost just once and 1 draw that's to say that they came prepared, talking about their form, I think they really need to do more, though they are in good shape but most times they don't win convincingly, Napoli 22/23 season form was a topnutch that was why they won the trophy then however et's not forget that there are more match remaining to be played this season so even though Napoli start toping the league at this early stage, it doesn't mean that the will end up lifting the trophy, there are other competitors in the league, the likes of inter Milan whom Napoli is just toping with 2 points, we can't tell if Napoli will maintain that position till the end of the season because 2 poimts difference is not a big deal, to me, the league is open and it's very much early to conclude who the champion will be this season.

Although with the performance of Napoli am impressed, if we should judge with the result so far, Napoli is really trying but they need to be consistent to avoid losing or droping from the position they are occupying at this moment, let's see how events unfold and see if the manager will be able to give the club a good narrative at the end of the season.

Paul Pogba still have future in football, he have a lot of memories to share with his fans because he is a world class player I must always say because of his world class passes and finishes as a midfielder and he had good records with big teams before getting ban.

He just needs to get used to the field again for a few months, until he can really return to his good form before getting a sanction. He is still 31 years old, so he still has the opportunity to develop his career again at his new club later. Especially if it is to Marseille, it is a club that is quite developing this season, which will make Ligue 1 even more competitive. And if he can shine again in the future, it is possible that there will be other top clubs that will be interested in him. This is a transition period for him, and he still has the chance to shine in football if he can optimize it later.

It seems like we're just waiting for the contract signing.

When he was playing for Juventus few years ago Paul Pogba is recognized as one of the best midfielder in the world especially he can bringing France to gets world cup trophy on 2018 so Paul Pogba is world class player and this factor too makes Manchester United dare to bought him from Juventus with expensive price but unfortunately he has been ruin his career with used doping and this thing also make Pogba have to received the punishment suspended from football for four years

31 years old is not young anymore but he still have any time to proving to everyone that he can bounce back but as far as i know if there are footballers who get this case then it is very difficult for them to get a new club and if Marseille is really want to gets him i think Pogba should seriously to considering this offer and just like i said before Pogba has high salary so if he want to playing with Marseille then he must be willing to lower his salary

2022/2023 season was the best coming from Napoli and if they can replicate all they did then to this season I don't think any team can stop them but as it is the players they have and how they go about business is not that aggressive like back then when they won the league title, although they are doing well I must say but you can't compare the way they play now and then. This isn't a time to run into conclusion that this particular team is winning the league just because of how well they play or how many points they are using to top everyone else on the table.
By the way we have too many hungry teams who are craving to be at the top of the log and with any slit mistake you'd see Napoli dropping while another club will be going to the top, this is why I say all teams at the top 4 need to be mindful of the games they drop point.
I trust the manager of the Napoli side because he always delivers even if he doesn't get a trophy he makes a change at any club he manages so this won't be the first time he's facing a club that has much expectations. At least the Napoli side need to be strong in their defense and a little bit of force to be add in the attacking department, if that is done then Napoli are ready to make life a living hell for the other competitors.

I don't think so, some top Serie A teams are currently not showing their best performance and they also haven't been able to maintain their team's consistency, basically Serie A teams are like that and I'm not surprised by what happened because almost every season they struggle at the beginning of the season but slowly there will be positive changes so that will also happen again this season.

In my opinion, currently only Napoli is the most consistent in maintaining its performance, after the surprising defeat from Hellas Verona in the opening match, Napoli continues to show its quality with 5 wins and 1 draw. Inter fate was not yet stable, but the defeat from Milan was the beginning of their revival with two consecutive wins.
I doubt Juventus quality, even though they are unbeaten in Serie A, but 4 draws from 7 matches indicate that they are not in their best form. Almost every Serie A season there is always a surprise, this season maybe we will see a new Champion like what happened in the last 4 seasons.

Juventus has problems in the offensive line, they could not show the performance they expected. They did not get defeated but their wins are also quite few. Because they are not successful in the offensive line. Juventus is one of the strong teams in Italy. There is a team that is always used to success. That is why the criticism against them right now is that they need to be better. I think Juventus should play for the leadership and be in a better position. I think the four draws they got in seven matches are a problem.

[Salahmu]

Yeah he is a very gifted player who has a very good records on the premier League with Manchester United before he left but however the only thing is that we are not really sure if Paul Pogba we use to no and love his performance will be the same way because he has been out of the league matches for long now and even if he tries to keep himself very active in training but it could still not be enough when he resumes playing on the 2025.

Marseille would be a perfect decision for him, not sure if Marseille will get him or not, but it would be perfect. The main reason would be Pogba is French, and going back to his home country and doing fine there means a lot, Marseille also built a great team and I am guessing they are going to end up with a great result one way or another, we are going to end up with a lot of money with time as well.

Yeah thinking about it that way it makes sense for him to consider going to Marseille since is a French club he would find it very easy plus the respect he would have on the club, secondly playing there will also help him to build up himself very well for other bigger clubs to notice him again, though I'm suspecting that with the current squad of Juventus right now if Pogba shows an interesting improvement they would possibly decide to extend his contract because Juventus needs more players or strikers with the kind of strength Pogba have.

So if they offers contract extension for Pogba he will likely agree to it than going to Marseille because Juventus is quite a reputable club I terms of producing a good players, so on that regards if you ask me Juventus is the best option for him because in Marseille the competition on their domestic league is too much and is always hard for them qualifying as the top three of their league and the most favorite teams people mostly like to watch is only few teams, so his publicity will reduce.

[Sexylizzy2813]

For now all the teams in the top 4 have done perfectly well for hanging on till this time and it has never been an easy win in their previous games, until they play some difficult games that's after coming from the break with some tired legs that alone can tell which team is ready to keep that spot on the log. Inter I never expected them to get their form back too soon and Juventus has been outstanding because they don't look like a team that has what it took to be in that position with how poor they were last year.

I don't think so, some top Serie A teams are currently not showing their best performance and they also haven't been able to maintain their team's consistency, basically Serie A teams are like that and I'm not surprised by what happened because almost every season they struggle at the beginning of the season but slowly there will be positive changes so that will also happen again this season.
Regarding the impact of the international break I don't think it will be significant, it will still happen as usual but for the top Serie A teams I think they still need a lot of changes and improvements and maybe in the middle of the season we can see which teams are really strong and consistent.

That means is the same reason they hardly do well in the champions league, having a slow start and when it matters they start making a positive step up but to me by then it will be too late, if that's how you see them. To be honest, the clubs are going to be very serious after the break especially the smaller teams because this is the time to get every possible point and I believe teams would drop point, as for those who stake on the bigger teams should be mindful, because we might be having another welcome upset, much disappointment will happen this very week and the Napoli side can as well be among the teams to mess up.

[Lidger]

I don't even know why Juventus want to terminate his contract. Pogba can still player better than someone of the midfielders they have currently. But since they have decided to let him go it's definitely going to be their loss, because if they retain him, he definitely going to help them in their bid to win the league title or finish in the top 4. I'm sure will still want to play for Juventus if the opportunity arises.

Pogba's age is still not over. But his condition was not good enough to be able to perform immediately. Another problem is that he is very vulnerable to injury problems. Just look at the injury history while at Juventus. Season 22/23 to 23/24 8 injuries. This made him not play much and spent a lot on his wife to speed up the healing of his injuries. Actually, if there is a club that is interested, it is a bet, but if they can get Pogba with a low salary it may be tried.

Yes, the point is that concerns about injuries and also high salaries, seem to be the reason for Juventus to end the contract with Pogba sooner. Because anyway, as far as I remember when Pogba returned to Juventus from Manchester United, that Juventus was only trying to recover Pogba from the injuries he suffered while playing at Manchester United. Thus, it is certainly a disappointment for Juventus who brought Pogba back to Juventus but with so many problems that  he must overcome as well.

Therefore, it seems natural that Juventus ended Pogba's contract but indeed, maybe there are still other top teams who will be willing to sign Pogba. After all, currently the top teams is not only in Europe, because in the Saudi Pro League also has rich teams that will certainly still be willing to pay Pogba high and thus,it seems that Pogba's career  is still not over.

A club buys a player for a relatively high amount of money when the player can get a full season of good service from the player, as well as when the player doesn't have much of an injury problem.  

Paul Pogba has been out of football for a long time and his fitness is not as strong as it used to be, so he can get injured again anytime and it is not possible to get the same performance from him. Considering all these things, it is natural that Juventus will want to sell. If Juventus want to sell him, other European clubs will not be very interested in taking him, but his next destination is naturally expected to be in Saudi Arabia.

With his age being 31 years old, he should still be able to adapt well to the field. And because he was banned from playing for 18 months, that doesn't mean he doesn't train alone. So I'm sure he will still have good performance. It's just that instincts in the field have to be readjusted. because not playing for more than 1 year can dull a player's instincts.

Pogba might shine again if he actually goes to Marseille. Because we know the team is struggling to get better with their new coach, Roberto De Zerbi.

Even if he plays his old football again after this stage, he will be able to play football for another 2-3 years at most. He was away from football because of the punishment he received in the ages when football should have been at its most productive. This was a situation that brought Pogban down, but of course he is the one at fault in this regard. He was banned from football because of the banned substance he used and he showed a great example of irresponsibility because he could not contribute to a team like Juventus. If Marseille transfers him now, they will be taking a great risk and making this transfer.

Lets be expecting more bids from some bigger clubs because I am very sure that clubs that are bigger than Marseille will submit their bid as well, in fact, I will be expecting bid from Madrid because they needed him to support their young talented midfielders for a better performance.

Is he still a world class player right now you think? I'm afraid I don't agree with that at all.    He couldn't even play properly for a long time before this ban. He was getting injured very often so staying away from professional football. After that he got a doping ban. When he completes this ban it is going to be 18 months of a break from football...

In this situation it is very difficult to say he can still play like the old times. I just expect him to play for a couple of more years at an average team. Even if it is a top team I don't think he will be a regular in starting lineup.

However, the reduction in his sentence from 4 years to only 18 months seems to be proof that Pogba did not actually use doping on purpose. Because we know Pogba is experiencing many problems related to his fitness due to the many injuries he received previously. So he took a lot of medicine to recover. And the result was that he was detected using doping. However, the doping case really made Pogba lose his glory days. Because at that time he was actually in a very good period. But the doping problem meant he had to fall back and start again after his sentence expired.

Marseille may be ready to accept risks that they also know about. And hopefully everything goes smoothly for everyone.

[SmartCharpa]

The team is also try to meet up this season since there able to won 3 matches out of the seven that they’ve played, it shows that that AC Milan can do much better this season to occupy severals position

However, it's too early to predict what will happen at the end of the season but, I don't think Ac Milan will finish at the top of the league because they do not appear like a team that is prepared for any competition this season and they lost an important point that they needed to improve their standing in the league. When you consider their current performance will not get them anywhere, I think Ac Milan will be lucky if they finish among the top four at the end of the season.

With a new season, new manager that has history in winning trophies, do you think Napoli are back to the form they were when they won the league title in the season 22/23? To me that was an impressive display we saw back then. Now we have Napoli topping the league after a failed start up this very campaign and no one thought they would be at the top till this very moment, out of 7 games 5 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. That's a good one from Conte, doesn't it mean that the new manager is going to transform the club to be a much stronger title contender this season? What are we to expect from Napoli?

Napoli transformation this season shocked a lot of people since we did not expect them to be at the top of the league at this early stage after a poor performance the previous season, Napoli current position, I believe they have a chance to win the league title this season, but we don't know what will happen as the season goes on, other rivals such as Inter Milan and Juventus can still be viewed as the likely contenders to win the league. Furthermore, many people assume that Napoli is currently at the top of the league because of Lukaku effect on the team, despite that he has only scored two goals since joining the club.

[Gallar]

It is said that there have been offers from MLS and France for Paul Pogba so far. He can return to the field after March 2025. His age is also suitable for playing at a high level for a few more years. I think the team that will get him, the average teams in France, may be good for a start. Of course, Marseille may also want to bring him to the team and become more ambitious for the championship. After all, getting him is a risk and it is up to the team to take this risk or not. Let's see which team Pogba will go to.

Currently Pogba is only 31 years old, in my opinion at that age Pogba's performance will definitely still be good. So it's not surprising that when news spread that Pogba had won his appeal, several clubs were immediately ready to take him. This means that this gives us a clear picture that Pogba can still shine on the pitch. Maybe from now on Pogba just needs to keep training to restore his best performance. The reason is that approximately one season of not playing football will definitely make Pogba a little stiff again, therefore intensive training is really needed by Pogba right now. Apart from that, I personally still want to see Pogba play with Juventus, because in my personal opinion, with the squad that Juventus currently has, if Pogba were added the results would definitely be very good. So my hope is that Juventus will keep Pogba. But if for example Pogba is not retained by Juventus, I don't think there's anything wrong with Pogba playing in the Francis league. Because the Francis League can be said to still be one of the top leagues in Europe. So if Pogba wants to continue to exist in European football, the Francis League is an opportunity for him. But if, for example, Pogba wants to chase big money, maybe playing in the Saudi Arabian league and also in MLS is the right answer. But at the moment I personally haven't heard any news about which club Pogba will go to (for certain). So hopefully Pogba finds the right club for him.

Paul Pogba is still at a good age to still play a better football but what he really needs now to help him more is training hard and be very serious with his training since it has been long he played football due to the ban on him.

I believe better team will definitely come for Paul Pogba if Juventus want to terminate his contract with the team, but if no top team go for him then we will definitely see Paul Pogba playing in Saudi Arabia league for the big bag but I will like to see him play in Europe for I have miss his pathern of play maybe one full season before going to Saudi Arabia league.

If I were to be Erik Ten Hag if Juventus terminates there contract with Paul Pogba I will go for him and resign him back to Manchester United I believe with Paul Pogba in Manchester United team there struggling this season might reduce.

Yes, apart from training hard, Pogba must also not repeat the same mistake, namely using doping. The reason is, this almost ended Pogba's career in the world of football. So, if for example Pogba wants to take any health supplement, of course he has to consult a doctor or someone who knows what the supplement contains. The reason is that according to the news circulating, when it was discovered that Pogba had consumed doping, Pogba admitted that he himself did not know that the supplements he consumed contained ingredients that were prohibited in the world of football. So because of this incident, Pogba must be more careful from now on if he wants to consume health supplements. Because actually, if we look at things that are safer and better. Even without health supplements, a footballer can still have a fit body. The key is just to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly and be disciplined. Because the real evidence that other footballers can use as guidance is Ronaldo. He can really maintain his lifestyle and exercise well. Because it is proven that even though he is old, he still has a fit body and great ability to play football. That's why Pogba can also imitate Ronaldo's habits if he wants to have a fit body and good abilities. And I also agree, if for example Pogba's contract is not extended at Juventus, then playing at Manchester United is indeed the right thing. Because basically Pogba still deserves to play in the big teams like Manchester United.

In my opinion, Marseille does not need to take any risks regarding Pogba, because he has already served the sanctions that have been imposed. This is just doping and nothing more, there are still many cases of other players who have been sanctioned for harassment and gambling. So if you think about it, doping is still lighter because it only harms yourself compared to the 2 cases above. Well now Pogba is free, his performance condition is not yet certain, just wait for when he plays on the field. It doesn't matter if he plays with Marseille because for now Pogba is lucky to have a club that wants to accept his arrival. Juventus decision is right, they work well follow the rules and are more focused on welcoming a new future with the next generation.

[len01]

What do you think about this match? Isn't it very profitable?
On paper, Inter will easily beat Roma. But unfortunately, Roma currently looks more consistent since having a new coach. Ivan Juric is also very enthusiastic about maintaining the consistency of the squad to continue fighting for the best position in the standings.
So in this match Inter gets odds @1.89 because I actually doubt it after seeing Inter performance unlike last season. If Inter still has its best performance, the odds must only be around @1.3 or below.

Share your opinions.

the fact that you say it's just doping suggests that you're neglecting its seriousness and yet it doesn't strike me as something to be taken so lightly, the fact that he was killed at Jubentus in my opinion is right for the simple fact that there is it was a check and it was not passed with a negative result, therefore the accusation is serious and in fact many other teams are hesitating to take him

[pusaka]

Is he still a world class player right now you think? I'm afraid I don't agree with that at all.    He couldn't even play properly for a long time before this ban. He was getting injured very often so staying away from professional football. After that he got a doping ban. When he completes this ban it is going to be 18 months of a break from football...

I can understand what you are thinking, now he is 31 years old, that means it is not a mature age for a player, although not that old, but in terms of age he is past his golden age. Not to mention as you said, he experienced a decline before the sanction he received and now he has not been on the field for a long time because of the sanction, it will also interfere with his performance. Because for a player playing minutes are very important, I mean he needs to get the atmosphere of the match and he did not get it during the sanction he received. It is very natural when we doubt that he will return to his best performance, there are various reasons for the doubts we feel. But from my experience I have no doubt that he is one of the experienced and skilled players.

So if you think about it, doping is still lighter because it only harms yourself compared to the 2 cases above. Well now Pogba is free, his performance condition is not yet certain, just wait for when he plays on the field. It doesn't matter if he plays with Marseille because for now Pogba is lucky to have a club that wants to accept his arrival. Juventus decision is right, they work well follow the rules and are more focused on welcoming a new future with the next generation.

Marseille will not have a problem when they recruit Paul Pogba because he has served the punishment given and now Paul Pogba is free to determine his career after Juventus terminated his contract. Marseille needs a player like Paul Pogba because he has the quality to maintain the rhythm of the game and he is also a defensive midfielder who allows Marseille to play much better with his arrival.

Juventus took a firm step and they wanted to maintain the team's condition to be better so they terminated the contract with Paul Pogba as an effort to prevent other players from making mistakes that could be fatal for his career or the club.
