Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[len01]

Actually Rudi Garcia is indeed a good coach, it's just that the fans expect Napoli's performance to be the same as last season, of course that will be a heavy burden for Rudi Garcia and many people doubt that Rudi Garcia is able to maintain Napoli's slick performance, and also Rudi Garcia is a minimal coach. regarding achievements, I think while at Napoli he will experience very heavy pressure to be able to continue what Spalletti has given to the Napoli team.

almost all Napoli fans really want Napoli to be the same as last season but this pressure seems selfish because Rudi Garcia does not have experience like Spalletti and this can affect Napoli's performance in the future. at least Rudi Garcia must try to give the best to Napoli in the coming season even though many are doubtful but hope is still there for Napoli.

TBH, I also doubt Rudi Garcia not because he has no experience but Napoli must remain the same as last season which dominated Serie A, now with this it is a very tough task for Rudi Garcia. it was not easy for Spalletti last season to make Napoli stronger and this will be felt by Rudi Garcia.

I don't completely agree with you because the performance of Lukaku is this season is not good enough to say he worth trying hard and paying a huge amount of money for him, Lukaku was injured in many games and he couldn't help his team for weeks, however after getting recovered Lukaku could show in the last week but all we saw from Lukaku was just in a few last weeks which is not enough to say he had a good performance.

It is true that Lukaku is a risky transfer and even though his statistics are alright, it is as you said. Injuries are a problem but also instability in his performances. But the transfer fees are at new heights anyway. When €40 million was record breaking a decade or 15 years ago, it is almost nothing these days. Usually I would agree and say that it is an expensive transfer given how much money Chelsea wants and how Lukaku did perform last season or was injured, but what if those sums are the new normal? Is €40 million still too much?

The risk can even go far when we know Lukaku is getting older and after getting older he will get injured more often and he will need more time to get recovered, while they pay too much money for hiring him but I think Lukaku doesn't worth this huge amount of money.
Inter Milan needs a player like Lukaku but still, they can find younger and better options instead of sticking to Lukaku.

Age is always a risk but at least it is a risk that is known to a certain degree. Nobody would expect a player who gets older and older to become healthier, not at least in the 30s. But that is why Inter is hesitating for a good reason. The amount demanded by Chelsea isn't reflecting the true value of Lukaku, but as I said before, what even is the true value of all these players? Is Neymar worth 222 million? Or Mbappe, is he worth 250 million? That is why on the other hand I think it doesn't even matter whether Lukaku costs 35 million or 40 million.

He is done with Inter I think after all that happend last days with him and talks with Juve he will prob go there or in S.Arabia.

But it is only natural that Napoli fans want Napoli to win the title again in Serie A this season. And yes, of course it will be quite a lot of pressure for Rudi Garcia as Napoli's new coach. And actually Rudi Garcia took quite a risk in his career. Because if he fails to maintain Napoli's best performance then of course his reputation will get worse. But if Rudi Garcia is able to keep Napoli in top form and even win the title again in Serie A. Then he will get a lot of benefits. especially in his career. because his reputation will certainly rise tremendously if he achieves success with Napoli. Behind the big risks, it also has the potential for big profits. all fields are always the same like this.

Actually, if you look at Arthur Melo's overall performance, it's not that great, but it just seems that Fiorentina are looking at it from the other side, so they are ready to sign Arthur Melo from Juventus and seem really excited to finish signing soon.
But actually it's a little ridiculous selling players to rival clubs but anyway Arthur Melo is not that good so Juventus are very relaxed without worrying about letting their players go.

Negotiations for the probable transfer of Arthur Melo from Juventus to Fiorentina appear to be moving forward. A fascinating arrangement is being negotiated one that would give Fiorentina the opportunity to sign the Brazilian midfielder permanently the following summer in exchange for a season long loan for the upcoming campaign. It seems that Juventus is determined to shed surplus players in order to reduce the financial burden of Arthur hefty contract and streamline their roster. Arthur is one of numerous Juventus employees who have been told to look for new possibilities as this news spreads possibly paving the way for a free transfer this summer.

Rudi Garcia has quite a bit of experience in Serie A in the past while coaching Roma. And that is the good news. But I also understand why someone doubts Rudi Garcia at the moment because he failed to lead Al-nassr to a title in the SPL. But one thing we cannot miss is that Rudi Garcia managed to bring Al-Nassr one rank higher than the previous season. in 2020-2021 Al-Nassr finished in 3rd place and in 2021-2022 Al-nassr managed to finish in 2nd place. So Rudi Garcia is indeed quite good. But when compared to Spalletti then of course I will also agree that Spalletti is better.

Actually Rudi Garcia is indeed a good coach, it's just that the fans expect Napoli's performance to be the same as last season, of course that will be a heavy burden for Rudi Garcia and many people doubt that Rudi Garcia is able to maintain Napoli's slick performance, and also Rudi Garcia is a minimal coach. regarding achievements, I think while at Napoli he will experience very heavy pressure to be able to continue what Spalletti has given to the Napoli team.

It is certainly going to be hard for Rudi Garcia to continue, bringing the results that Napoli has produced in the last season. I believe he should concentrate on either the Serie A or the Champions League. I do not think that concentrating on the Champions League is actually going to work out for them.

Because in the Champions League competition, they will be continuously playing against the best of the best. But in the Serie A, they will have easier competition. Of course, they are going to play against bigger opponents. But that is not a regular thing. They will have easier matches as well where they will be able to confirm three points. So I think it will be a better option for Rudi Garcia to concentrate on the Italian league.

If Napoli supporters put pressure on it, of course it will be the biggest challenge for Rudi Garcia, namely to get another trophy this season, obviously it is a difficult job, let alone uniting new players with old players plus Rudi Garcia as the new coach, maybe he will carry out his tough task and adapt with Napoli's players adopting a new strategy, this season is certainly tough competition for Napoli to win the league because it takes time to adjust the style of play.

I'm not a supporter of Napoli but they played consistently last season and that's what I saw them working hard to win the league, but with the replacement of their coach there might be a change in the way they play in terms of strategy, we won't know how they play this season, maybe not it will be easy for them to achieve it again or will win it again.

Rudi Garcia's job is really tough this season. Because Kim Min, who had an important share in Napoli's championship, left the team. Rudi Garcia may be a good manager, but coming to a team that did well last season can make things a little difficult.

I'm sure the Napoli fans will put pressure on the coach. The team that wins once wants him every year. This is very normal. That's why I said at the beginning of my article that Rudi Garcia's job is really difficult this season.

If Napoli's second place this season, I'll find it successful enough. Because we know the quality of the other teams in the league and they add more quality on top of this quality in every transfer. Napoli had a good season and they've beaten bigger teams this season, but it's hard to repeat that every year.

[Docnaster]

I wonder how Napoli will go on from here, will they be able to maintain same form as they showed previous season with a new manager controlling and directing the affairs of the team with new tactics and strategies or could this be the beginning of their down fall? Many questions are going through my mind. Could they successfully convince Osimhen to extend his contract and find a new striker?

Until now nothing big happened in Serie A, just slight change as far as I am aware of which means things will remain quite the same next season with Napoli advantageous along with Inter tho. Obviously there might be new signing later otherwise the other teams will be in trouble concurring Napoli.
I expect Juventus to return to the race for top spots in addition to Milan. For Roma, you have the feeling they are broke and collecting free transfers while selling some of their players! Quite weird what they are planning for the next season.

After all, why would you think or expect Osimhen's contract to be extended because in reality, Osimhen is still under contract at Napoli until 2025. Also, Napoli is basically not a team that is used to keeping its key players, so it would be natural if Osimhen later left. Also apart from that and regarding Napoli's performance next season, I personally am still quite sure that Napoli will still compete strongly at least in the top five, but to defend the Scudetto is definitely a difficult task to achieve.

Victor Osimhen's contract with Napoli will definitely be in existence till the summer of 2025 which means that he's still got two more seasons to play for the Italian club. However there's every need for the club to renew his contract now that the player is showing great footballing abilities with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
If Victor Osimhen can replicate the same performance he had last season, it'll be certain that his impressive performances isn't a one-season show and that'll make so many clubs to make efforts and get his signature. So the earlier Napoli renews his contract, the better they stand a chance to make huge financial gain in his sale

[rendravolt]

I agree more if Osimhen is sold when the price is still quite high on the market. I predict that Napoli will regret it very much if they keep it or prefer to sell it next season. Now you can see, no team is so insistent on chasing Osimhen's signature, meaning he is not a typical striker who is able to maintain consistency. And I also predict that the Partenopei will also fail to defend their Scudetto.

It will indeed be very disappointing when no one is interested in Osimhen and maybe now is the only right opportunity. In fact, we don't even know when Osimhen will experience a decline in performance and that will make its market value also decrease. I think if Europe's top teams hesitate to bid first, I think Napoli should open an initial bid for Osimhen's fee so they come and start negotiating. However, if Napoli remain undecided, they will be prepared to take risks later if it doesn't go according to what they want.

He is done with Inter I think after all that happend last days with him and talks with Juve he will prob go there or in S.Arabia.

Lukaku has been rejecting an offer from saudi club. Will saudi club gonna give him another chance again? im feeling doubt about that. The fact that if he is not even interesting to go to the saudi club. I think that juventus can become the most potential club for him.
Juventus's offer is quite good for chelsea. Chelsea is also keen to buy vlahovic from juventus. that's gonna be a win win situation for both of clubs. I expect the completition of lukaku transfer gonna take a very long time to go.

Chelsea shall have finished to sell lukaku as soon as possible. This guy is definitely worthless for the club now. Glad to see that intermilan has been withdrawing its club to get lukaku.
Juventus becomes the best club for him next season. Lukaku have two best options for now.

1 Juventus
2 Saudi clubs

I don't see a better choice than those. I hope lukaku will able to decide it as soon as possible.

For a while, I had read news that Galatasaray also had attempts to transfer Lukaku. We have to admit that Lukaku is no longer at Chelsea's level. He does not have bright statistics in his last season at Inter. Lukaku now has to make important choices about his career. If he wants to stay in important European teams such as Inter, Juventus or Chelsea, he may fall into the status of a reserve player. However, if he is transferred to teams like Galatasaray, who are interested in him, he can receive great attention from the fans and recapture the opportunity to be the main character of the team, or, apart from all this, he can earn a lot of money by transferring to one of the Arabian teams.

Victor Osimhen was good last season for Napoli, but it was not an individual performance, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a lot of influence and created a lot of opportunities for Victor Osimhen to finish. If Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leaves Napoli and Victor Osimhen remains, his performance may not be as good as last season because I do not see a player that can do what Khvicha Kvaratskhelia does on the field for Napoli when he plays. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia may move to Newcastle because they are interested in him, If he moves and Victor Osimhen remains, his value from this season may drop.

Seeing what is happening to Napoli transfers reminds me of Leicester City in 2016, after winning the EPL champion all the stars were released to other clubs and finally their performance was slowly declining. If this scheme occurs in the Napoli transfer market, it will be a shame because let alone defending the Scudetto into the Champions League zone or finishing in the top four of the Serie A standings next season will be very difficult. Their coach Luciano Spalletti quit and chose to rest now they will be coached by Rudi Garcia, now there are lots of temptations for their stars to move to other Clubs.

Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia and kim min-jae are the three names most talked about and are reported to be moving clubs for next season. If the three of them officially move, then Rudi Garcia will have a tough task next season

[makishart]

I think Dybala is doing the right thing by choosing to stay at Roma rather than joining Chelsea. Because Chelsea seem to have an intention to make a bigger striker signing on one hand. It would be doubtful how much time he would be able to play there. Besides Dybala doesn't even have any experience outside Italy.

It means if enzo failed to convince him to join chelsea. Pochettino really wants him, but since the situation is not supporting chelsea t this moment. Pochettino shall try to search for a backup for dybala's plan.
Chelsea needs to find an alternative for dybala as soon as possible. The time for the pre season match is very close.

Therefore we don't know if this transfer would end up well for him. Maybe he would have adaptation problems and his career would go to a worse point. Dybala is still quite useful for Roma now. His release clause is nothing maybe but Dybala wants to stay anyway so there is no need to worry about this for Roma.

As long as he will never reach personal agreement with the new club and his transfer will never happen. Roma wants to increase dybala's release clause. Dybala looks very loyal to the as roma at this moment. Dybala still wanna playing even longer under jose mourinho caused by he was able performing perfectly under him. I know if dybala wanna stay rather than leave the club and join chelsea. Im waiting for whom gonna be a replacement for dybala as one of the priority targets chelsea.

Chelsea needs to find the new name as the club urgently signing more players.

Well, in about 8 weeks; we will find out about Rudi Garcia coaching pedigree theres no need to speculate. Napoli are Serie A reigning champions; Garcia jobs will be to go for another title win or atleast challenge for the title closely while also improving on the success of last season in the champions league. With Kim Min Jae reportedly off to Bayern Munich; Napoli need to bolster their squads and improve the squad depths ahead of the new season.

[zuzie]

Im feeling doubtful with rudi garcia. We will not only seeing a slightly chance to the napoli but we will be seeing huge changes to happen with napoli. Rudi garcia is not a good coach in my opinion. He was not even able coaching al nassr properly. Im thinking about napoli will not able to defend its scudetto right now. The new coach shall become the main concern. It will be changing a lot in the playstyle of napoli next season. I saw how failed rudi garcia in bringing nasser into the top position of SPL.
He is gonna have tougher situation in the napoli caused by rudi gonna receive bigger pressure compared when he was still coaching al nassr. I think that i can't even agree with you in this case. The club's performance will be so different.
Can we expect the same thing delivered by spalletti from him? I dunno why napoli has not even hired world class coach in managing the club. I did believe napoli take the wrong step by hiring him

Honestly I think the opposite about Rudi Garcia. Because he has a really good history with Roma in the Serie A. He managed Roma for the whole 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. Roma finished both seasons at the second position being right behind Juventus. Maybe he didn't manage Al Nassr very well but we should think about this as well.

Spalletti and Rudi Garcia use nearly the same formation and game plan as well. Thinking of Rudi Garcia's past with Roma here maybe he can be competitive with Napoli for the league title as well. Napoli should find a solid defender to fill Kim Min-jae's place too though and then they should be ready to go for another run.

Rudi Garcia has quite a bit of experience in Serie A in the past while coaching Roma. And that is the good news. But I also understand why someone doubts Rudi Garcia at the moment because he failed to lead Al-nassr to a title in the SPL. But one thing we cannot miss is that Rudi Garcia managed to bring Al-Nassr one rank higher than the previous season. in 2020-2021 Al-Nassr finished in 3rd place and in 2021-2022 Al-nassr managed to finish in 2nd place. So Rudi Garcia is indeed quite good. But when compared to Spalletti then of course I will also agree that Spalletti is better.

Yes of course Spalletti is better, more precise and more suitable. How not, Luciano Spalletti's entire coaching career spent time coaching teams in Serie A, he is noted to have only coach another team outside Serie A once. Automatically Luciano Spalletti is more experience and understands the competitive situation in Serie A
In this case the comparison is at a different level

[bitgolden]

TBH, I also doubt Rudi Garcia not because he has no experience but Napoli must remain the same as last season which dominated Serie A, now with this it is a very tough task for Rudi Garcia. it was not easy for Spalletti last season to make Napoli stronger and this will be felt by Rudi Garcia.

Considering they literally fired the manager who made them champions, it's obvious that Napoli management is not really right in the head. Thank god they got at least one championship out of this season, but between players leaving and also manager leaving, they are not going to be able to replace them with other stars and they are going to be much worse.

They also do have a bit of a worrying situation with the other teams, because if other teams gets better then it is not going to be possible for Napoli to win, but looking at them, it looks like other teams are not doing that great neither and that could be an issue for them and Napoli could take advantage of that. I am not saying that they will win it again, but while they are getting worse, if other teams do get worse as well, then they do have a chance.

But if last season Napoli didn't win the title, then Rudi Garcia won't get high pressure either. Because if Rudi Garcia gets high pressure, it's just a situation and a moment that might not be right for the new coach at Napoli right now. But yes, from most of the speculations that exist about Rudi Garcia at least they seem to underestimate Rudi Garcia, because at this moment we also will not know what the results will be like. Maybe, Rudi Garcia can make Napoli better than the previous season but if at the same time, competing teams also get a very good performance improvement. Then these results will still make Rudi Garcia labeled a failure, but let's look forward to the real results next season.

[Bobrox]

Juventus becomes the best club for him next season. Lukaku have two best options for now.

1 Juventus
2 Saudi clubs

I don't see a better choice than those. I hope lukaku will able to decide it as soon as possible.

Lukaku have rejected with all interested from Saudi Clubs and seems he won't play there any more right now although has chance for few years later depend on how excited salary accepted. Last option for Lukaku between returning back to Chelsea or join with Juventus next season but need waiting done deal transfer fees with Chelsea. Its not easy for getting done deal about transfer fees after Inter Milan withdrew for signing Lukaku after second proposal with 35 million euro rejected by Chelsea.

Juventus is bigger teams and Lukaku have been adapted well with Serie A competition, its not difficult for adapting again for Lukaku if join with Inter Milan rival teams next season because regular position is most important for Lukaku than returning back to Chelsea where difficult to be main player under Pochettino.
