Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Balmain]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

Matthijs de Light is still a bone of contention between Bayern and Chelsea, but because De Light prefers Bayern over Chelsea, it looks like Bayern
are still trying to negotiate with Juventus to find a price agreement. Indeed, according to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern had made an offer of 60 million
euros to get De Light, but Juventus still refused. But that doesn't mean Bayern will give up on getting De Light, because Bayern reportedly plans to
make a new offer in the near future. We'll see if Bayern will manage to get De Light or not. But my prediction is that Matthijs de Light will stay
at Juventus. Since there is no way that either Bayern or Chelsea would spend so much money on defenders, like you said attacking players are usually
far more expensive than defenders. So if Juventus stay and only want to let De Light go for over 90 million euros, I'm sure either Bayern or Chelsea
will back down for De Light.

[Sebas.tian]

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.

I think, Juventus coach has selected a new talented players the fans has been waiting to see in the team for them to believe that Juventus are fully prepared to win next season title. Now that Juventus president has signed in mane and Paul Pogba into the team, I think it will really help the team to improve their performance in this season because all those players are very good in the areas of achieving victory from any competitions. AC Milan coach don't want to miss it in this season by using this opportunity to sign in young talented strikers and midfielders that will help the team to perform well through out of the tournament to make their fans happy again.

Monza needed star player who have plenty of experience in Serie A so that's why they aiming Cavani especially Cavani has been playing for Italian teams before such as Palermo and Napoli so this might be good recruitment for Monza if he willing to moved to this team and Monza director Adriano Galliani already met his agent to talking about this but Monza is not alone who want him because rumour is Salernitana also interested want him too and Monza have to realized that Cavani had poor performance period because last season he only scoring 2 goals in premier league

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.

Juventus want to be great again after a season in which they won nothing. With the arrival of Paul Pogba and Di Maria, I think Allegri will go with a 4-3-3 formation. Di Maria will bring more assists to Juventus game, and a front-three of him, Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic would be lively. A 3-5-3 formation is not going to be feasible considering the arrival of Di Maria. And also there’s no second striker to pair with Vlahovic in the attack. Chiesa - Vlahovic –Di Maria is a pretty scary looking front three, and this is what Allegri wants. So I suspect a 4-3-3 formation next season.

[laurenB7742]

In essence, the duo of Pogba and Di Maria will be a game that is very much awaited right now, if no one is looking forward to it maybe they don't like Juventus. When these two started with just a rumor and ended up becoming a reality, it was something great because with those rumors at least Juventus really had the confidence to sign them. I personally don't really look at or judge that Pogba has played for Juventus in the past, I only judge that with their current age they will certainly be suitable to play in Serie A.

I don't follow too many Serie A games because to be honest the Premier League is still better for me to spend more time. But of course I think it's good to expect these two players to be useful for Juventus this season, especially since Juventus are also playing in the Champions League.
I will look forward to Juventus' performance in the Champions League this season, maybe it will be good but I will not have high expectations for both players. Juventus is not just about these two players, and their performance will not depend on either of them.

Juventus has a lot working for them right now. They have brought in some really talented players for free, and those players will be expected to perform really well for Juventus. But I am interested to see how Juventus is projected to perform as a team. As well as how they will be able to start the season. Because the last time they had a terrible start, everyone is expecting them to do better this time. And in the Champions League, Juventus don't really hold much hope for me, but if they are able to reach the semi-finals, let alone win the Champions League Trophy, I think it is going to be a big achievement.

After all, even so but I also don't focus too much on Di Maria and Pogba, because there are other good players who are still young like Dusan Vlahovic and also Federico Chiesa. So, I judge more on the overall aspect for Juventus and I personally really look forward to Juventus' performance next season, at least I'm pretty sure Juventus will be a candidate to win the Serie A title next season. Although indeed, I personally can't have my hopes too high about Juventus in the Champions League, because the competition in the Champions League is very difficult and the EPL teams are indeed stronger.

I also think Juventus is a strong team next season. And if their performances are stable they are worthy contenders for the Serie A title next season. But everyone is now more excited about Pogba and Di Maria joining Juventus. I don't understand why there is so much excitement or discussion. Pogba is talented but we haven't seen good performances from him in the last few seasons. On the other hand, Di Maria was not a key player for PSG. I think Dusan and Chiese will be able to play more better in the Juventus team from these two players.

I think it can be a good transfer for both the player and the team. He is an experienced and successful player, but his age has advanced and of course he has no chance to show his old performance. However, if he plays football for a while in a mid-level team, he can still be successful.
Even though he didn't score last year, he may score many goals this year with a team that just joined the league

This is a very good signing. A.C. Monza is not a very big or renowned team. Moreover, they are not a very rich club. And so signing Edinson Cavani on a free is profitable for them. Cavani may be older but he is an experienced player. Cavani's support will improve the performance of the team's young players. At the same time my idea is that young players will become experienced.

There are surely few things now have to settle for this player as he is going back after few years and have no good time in his last club with this all now he needs to prove can he do something good for his new club even he is calling this is his home. Now he is back in Italy which is good but still he needs some time for giving his best and still competition is tough for him here in Juventus as well because now they are also preparing for best season after having some serious troubles in last season.

With they have good news as few injured players are also back in training and Di Maria also very experienced campaigner, so hopefully they will do much better and have strong case for title in coming season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Obviously, in this case they still need a back line especially they have now lost Chiellini and maybe in this market they will also lose De Ligt in the most vital part of defence. This should be a concern for Juventus regardless of how good they are in midfield and attack this will be a lot of gaps if the defense is down.
Recently I read about a story that said they were targeting Arsenal's young defender Gabriel Magalhaes as a patch.

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.

At the moment the rumors about a young Brazilian defender playing for Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes, are still something interesting to see because it is indeed whether they can get Gabriel's signature with the time now drawing to a close.
this could be a pretty good patch even though Gabriel hasn't shown a great performance at Arsenal yet but at least he can fill the void left by Chielini or maybe De Ligt.

I see that Serie A will be more and more interesting to watch, where the big teams are competing to strengthen the depth of their squad. There is almost no position they want to miss to wade through the league next season. This is something good to improve the quality of the league to be more competitive. I hope everything they did in this transfer market will be felt in the competition later.

DId they already signed him ? I can see on articles that he is still in talks with Monza football club but nothing official yet. Honestly , Cavani deserves way better and a better team but when you see the project in Monza and what the board is trying to achieve, we can think that the project is very solid and on long partnership. Also , signing experienced players , would benefit the young players , fans and also reputation of the club.

But what about Juventus and their signings ? If you ask me , Monza does it better this year than Juventus when it comes to transfers.
