Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[mv1986]

~snip~ When he first came here, his market value was €48m. But now, we see that it's increased to €70m. This guy is developing really fast. And I liked him really much in the Euro 2020 also. Juventus should absolutely buy him. He has one more year on his loan contract.

You are right he played well at Juventus and EURO. Even his current price makes him the most expensive local player in Serie A. He became Man of the match for 2 times in EURO. In fact, he is still very young 23 years old. But I doubt whether Juve can afford to make it permanent. They are also experiencing financial problems even though their financial report showed a profit during the last season.

But you also see very often that the players put their clubs under pressure. Is it any good if you have a player who wants to leave your club 100%? You rather try to strike a deal that is good for all parties involved. I am sure Chiesa wants to go to Juventus. But it's also possible that Premier League clubs have him on the list already. I guess that is the case and they would be able to pay whatever Fiorentina asks for.

Giroud cannot play as Super Pippo and he can not score to many goals in Arsenal, Chelsea. I don't think Giroud will score too many goals and join the Capocannoniere competition. I also don't think Giroud will have a position in the squad and his place would be on the bench, when AC Milan need to have substitution.

Giroud is not bad player and he can score important and crazy goals as we see in Arsenal or Chelsea. Club can not rely on Giroud if they need to have a good goal resource during a complete season.

True, I didn't expect anyone using the number 9 to play like Pippo. however, what I mean is, a player who uses the number 9 in Milan, is considered not to be able to play at his best. For example, Matri, Torres, Destro and others struggle to score goals. The last one is Mandzukic who is hardly played at all by Milan. the previous players, not only old players, they are still players who should still be productive to score goals. That then created the myth of the number 9 Milan.

According to some rumours, Juventus are keen on selling Aaron Ramsey as they see him as a financial burden now. The player played in 22 Serie A games in the last season. He scored 2 goals and made 5 assists. He is 30 now and his market value is €14m. I wonder whether Arsenal would be willing to sign him back.

Aaron Ramsey was signed to Juventus free of charge when his contract with Arsenal expired. They agreed on £187,000 a week. When we look at last year's statistics, we see that this decision of Juventus may make sense. If they can sell, they will both get rid of the weekly wage and the club will make money.

According to the words of the president of the Italian Federation, the green pass will have to consider everyone, both players and fans. The proposal of the Federation is in line with that of the Italian government and will consider whether to extend the vaccination campaign and possibly adopt measures to make the vaccine mandatory for its members. It seems clear that we are moving towards a decision whereby those who do not have the vaccine will not be able to perform competitive activities.
My question is: what will happen when Italian players will play against other players from different federations who have not get a jab?

It will become more commonly applied around Europe as well as around the world. After the time, months of freedom of choice, to choose whether you want to take vaccine doses or not, now governments unofficially force their citizens to accept vaccination.

People have freedom to reject vaccination but they will have some restrictions in their nations. Unofficially governments force people to accept Covid-19 vaccines. I think it is good strategy because after months, approved vaccines show good effectiveness and very little side-effects.

This strategy will bring the world back to new normality faster, includes sports and football. This also will help to reduce risk of more deathly mutation from the virus.

Arteta is actually in the lookout for a new attacking midfielder,but not a player as old as Ramsey.He played pretty well in his time at Arsenal,but this current squad does not need a player from 26 years and above.The management wants to build the team on the soldiers of young boys like Smith,Saka,Martinelli,and Tierney.An attacking midfielder like Maddison will be welcomed at Arsenal.

I believe it will be a common thing in the next couple months and not limited to spectators. Those who refuse to take the vaccine will be marginalised and their access to many facilities will be limited. France is already trying to impose this.
Whenever Italian teams will face another team in Italy, not vaccinated supporters might not be able to be in the stadium unless being vaccinated or maybe having negative PCR and passing 10 days in quarantine.

Yes and Germany is doing or planning the same. The legal question was whether event managers of all kinds of events (soccer, concerts, etc.) are allowed to exclude people from their events based on not being vaccinated. A first answer from the minister for legal issues was yes, they are allowed to exclude those people. That leads to an indirect obligation to get the vaccine because otherwise you simply can't participate in most of the every day social life.

I think Italy will be quite strict about it as well because they have been among those who have been hit the hardest during the first wave and they certainly remember that and don't want that to repeat itself.

Three days ago I read Inter want at least 120 million Euro for Romelu Lukaku and today I read they refused Chelsea's 130 million Euro offer. Lukaku is indispensable player for Inter but how can you refuse 130m for any player? Recently we saw Haaland's comments about ridiculously high transfer fees, it puts extra pressure over players.
I'm sure they can replace Lukaku with 130m, they already have Lautaro Martinez as striker. One thing they can't replace is probably Antonio Conte.

I can understand why Inter changed their decision, because Inter were in a financial crisis, so they thought about selling Lukaku. But maybe after
thinking about it, Lukaku's performance with Inter in the 2020/2021 season was extraordinary. His contribution was very important for Inter to win
the Serie A trophy. That's why Inter are now rejecting a very large offer from Chelsea, it's true that with 130 million euros, Inter should be able to
find a replacement for Lukaku, especially since Inter still have Lautaro Martinez. But maybe Inter management has other considerations, now with
this rejection Chelsea may be focusing on pursuing Haaland again. Regarding Antonio Conte I agree with you, he is irreplaceable, and I doubt
Simone Inzaghi can bring success to Inter.

James Maddison is one of the talented players that I'm fond of in the EPL. He is still 24 and has a market value which is €55m. Arsenal would really make use of a strong midfielder now. And Maddison is one of the best candidates. But I'm doubtful about whether Leicester would be eager to sell him now.

Vaccinated people will still spread the virus so I would not be so sure about the fact that we will bring the world back to a "new normality faster". What is this new normality? It is not fair to impose the vaccination as per the category of people in Italy, it is against the Constitution. So either they will make the jab mandatory for everyone or I expect a lot of court battles.
Very little side-effects? Go tell those who died, got permanently ill or else after being jabbed. This is a serious matter.

Martinez will not be able to replace Lukaku, these are players of different levels. But 130 million for Lukaku is a lot of money, I can hardly believe that any club was ready to pay that kind of money for this striker.

Martinez is not a striker as what he usually plays in Inter Milan and in Arghentina. He is not a target man like Lukaku. If Inter Milan need to find another target man to replace Lukaku, they can look at Lewandowski, Edin Dzeko, Patrick Schick, Ronaldo.

With their limited funds and financial problems from their owners, I think they will not find any good striker to replace Lukaku if they actually sell him on the transfer market.

Martinez does not have skills to play as Benzema or Kane who can be both target man as well as registra.

It's a big loss if Inter Milan let go of Lukaku this season, Lukaku is one of the strikers who is quite dangerous and has a vital role for Inter Milan last season in winning the Scudetto and I think that role will be very difficult to replace by Martinez, even though Inter Milan is in a very poor financial condition It's bad at the moment but they should still maintain Lukaku if indeed Inter Milan want to be able to compete for the Scudetto next season, currently Inter Milan is still in the stage of getting back up to return to being a contender for the Italian League title after experiencing adversity in recent years.

I think when teams place a huge amount of  money on any player, they are simply unwilling to sell. They recently sold Hakimi for 80m to PSG and are trying to use the funds to fix the holes in the squad so they can compete this coming season. Selling Lukaku means, they have to find a striker again because Lautaro is not a Striker, he is more like an inside forward. Lukaku cannot be replaced; there are few out and out striker in the world in their prime, lukaku, kane, haaland, lewandoski (few years left at the top),

I just saw the news about Lautaro Martinez from the Local Sports News Portal.

Intermilan open bids for Lautaro Martinez, Europe's Top 5 Clubs Line Up.

Among them are Chelsea and Manchester City, it is reported that Lautaro Martinez is tired of being in Romelu Lukaku's shadow.

For Inter, Ronaldo and Lewandowski are simply out of place, the club will never go to such expenses to buy players of this level. The best option would be to keep Lukaku, but how will he play next season without Conte? This is another question.

I think that Inter has no chance to fight for the title without Conte ...

At the beginning of next week Simone Inzaghi will finally welcome back all the national players who are still enjoying their last few days of holiday. The first week of August will be important for the Nerazzurri because another great return is expected in Milan: that of Christian Eriksen.
He will undergo several medical checks and if his mental and physical conditions will be deemed good the doctors could decide to remove his internal defibrillator which would mean he could legally be entitled to play again in Serie A!
