Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[tbct_mt2]

Does Napoli need Osimhen?

They no longer need Osimhen because they clearly shown this by striking out Osimhen from their squad for Serie A. Even so, till today Osimhen is still Napoli player and there is no latest news on this player transfer to any big club.

Lukaku is considered the piece to replace Osimhen in the club's attack. Lukaku plays the hero role at Napoli. After coming off the bench, the Belgian striker scored in stoppage time to equalize just days after completing his move from Chelsea. Napoli's thrilling win over Parma gave them six points from three games. Lukaku's goal on his debut for the club also brought many positive signs. At this time, coach Conte can temporarily forget about Osimhen. Most likely in the upcoming matches, Lukaku will start and be the number 1 hope in Napoli's attack.

Lukaku is a good replacement for Osimhen in Napoli and the Belgium striker can provide good number of goals for Napoli in this season. He can create good pressure on opponent defense system and help his team mates to have more space for attacking and opportunities to make shots. I believe Lukaku will be a successful transfer for Napoli, not only in this season, but next some seasons.

Osimhen faces a disastrous summer. This player is now in a situation where "he can neither go nor stay". Napoli has removed the 25-year-old striker from the official squad. For Osimhen, I think the only way out of his current career is to agree to go to Saudi Arabia to play football.

He tried to create pressure on Napoli to be transferred but Napoli want too much money from the striker transfer and no club comes to a final agreement on transfer fee with Napoli so far. It's very last hours for Napoli and Osimhen as well as a club partner to complete the transfer before the summer transfer market will close in coming hours.

Everything is getting worse for Osimhen and it seems he is going to have a bad season in Napoli if he stays in this team. Osimhen doesn't have a good relationship with Napoli and he just wants to leave the team. While he didn't join PSG the offer he got from Chelsea was also rejected because they didn't give him a good amount of money to make this player leave and now Napoli is angry to have a player like him.
They have Lukaku and now they removed the name of Osimhen from the list and they gave the shirt of Osimhen to Lukaku.

There is a saying that pride goes before a fall. When someone is overly proud, it often breeds greed and a stubborn belief in one's own infallibility. Osimhen made a very big mistake when he renew his contract after winning the league title with Napoli the previous years. There's nothing like loyalist in the game of football, they're clearly after their business.

 I think next time he will be able to differentiate between rewards and control. He unknowingly handed himself over to the club to mess with after agreeing to renew the last contract. He doesn't want to play for Napoli and they don't seem to care but aiming at high wages did not allow him to join Chelsea. Now, he will have to stay without a club until January transfer window opens.

My question is now that Osimhen is not on the list of Napoli players this season, will he still be paid his wages or his punishment will only be depriving him from playing with the team.

I think Napoli will continue to be paying his salary since the contract is still effective until next two years that the contract will elapsed. However, match and appearance bonuses will be cut off. It is not about the salary but for player like Osimhen to stay for almost a season without playing is not reasonable at all because no club will approach him with good offer after that.

Tonight Napoli will be facing Parm and it's all clear that Victor Osimhen won't fixture in that game as the No.9 jersey has been handed to Lukaku. They will be facing a Parma side that are in a good form with 2 unbeaten start of the season, having drawn 1:1 their first game with Fiorentina, and also winning 2:1 against AC Milan. It's really going to be a tough game for Napoli with a lot of expectations on Romelo Lukaku to be at his best today as to convince the Neapolitan fans that they really do have no need to miss Victor Osimhen's absence in this season.

Romelu Lukaku should be at his best this season, handing over the number 9 jersey to him is a big sign that they’ve trust in him and will love him to deliver well to elevate the team this season. Too much expectation kills though, but let’s see if Lukaku will surprise us all and make it known to all that his transfer to the club is worth it.

Antonio Conte is very determined about his decision of not having Osimhen in his plans. And the begging question is why don't they want the striker to leave for the Saudi Arabia league when they ain't ready to fixture him in match. I see an attempt by Napoli to frustrate Osimhen by their action of later increasing the amount earlier agreed by Al Ahil to sign Osimhen just not less than 48hrs to the closure of the Saudi Arabia league transfer window. An act that have made the Saudi club to withdraw their keen interest.

At this point, it’s all over and Osimhen already know his fate for this season. After collecting the jersey number 9 from him, his name has also been removed from the website of the club which means throughout the season they’re not even considering to give him a chance to play. This will really affect his market value because when the new transfer window opens, the market value of the team player would have depreciated and will not even get an offer close to what Chelsea initially offered and also what Al-Ahli offered to give him before the value was rejected by the club and asked for more. I don’t know what internal issue they have with Osimhen but it’s clear that they want to frustrate him and they’ve succeeded in doing that.

Everything is getting worse for Osimhen and it seems he is going to have a bad season in Napoli if he stays in this team. Osimhen doesn't have a good relationship with Napoli and he just wants to leave the team. While he didn't join PSG the offer he got from Chelsea was also rejected because they didn't give him a good amount of money to make this player leave and now Napoli is angry to have a player like him.
They have Lukaku and now they removed the name of Osimhen from the list and they gave the shirt of Osimhen to Lukaku.

Osimhen is stuck in the middle in a confuse state right now, it is only God that can come to his rescue by bringing a club to sign him out from Napoli because he will just be there wasting his talent, skill and time. If possible he will decline in his performance.

My question is now that Osimhen is not on the list of Napoli players this season, will he still be paid his wages or his punishment will only be depriving him from playing with the team.

[Dickiy]

today the match I've been waiting for all week, Juventus against Roma
In my opinion it will be a really tough match for us. I'm afraid Roma are not an easy team to face

I am still convinced that Juventus will really win this match, looking at Roma's match history in the last two matches, it seems like they have a problem in their attack line, it can be said that their attack line is experiencing a deadlock in completing opportunities, in contrast to Juventus who looks increasingly strong, especially since they are playing at home, this can be maximized by Juventus to get full points.

[rendravolt]

It was great to see Lukaku score his debut goal for Napoli and it shows that they don't have to rely entirely on Osimhen. At first I thought this was a problem created by Napoli first but over time Osimhen has been too much of an act and it's only natural that his name is now not on Antonio Conte's squad list.

Now Napoli can be said to be safe from doubt and this win against Parma is a good start for them to start the season well. Apart from that, I don't know what Osimhen will do now and he should have gone to Chelsea or the Saudi league from the start if the offer was still there. But it's all over and now Osimhen's status is nothing more than a mediocre player and I doubt whether there will be a club who wants to recruit him after causing problems.

About his performance We are not sure yet if that may happen or not, if he sticks to his personal training am sure he won't decline. A clear recent example is goalkeeper David De gea now playing at ACF Fiorentina. We could remember how he stayed for about a year without a club before joining Fiorentina and his performance never dropped he's still making stunning saves, and I attribute that to personal hardwork and training.

My question is now that Osimhen is not on the list of Napoli players this season, will he still be paid his wages or his punishment will only be depriving him from playing with the team.

An emphatic YES! Osimhen will be continually paid his weekly wages in full till his contract with Napoli expires despite him not fixturing in any of their games anymore. Hopefully by January transfer he would surely part ways with Napoli.

Same, that's why Inter have been the strongest since last season and this result further strengthens that they will defend their Scudetto this season. I think the draw against Genoa did not bother them at all and the rest they are targeting full points to continue to maintain the top of the standings. Atalanta may not have expected that Inter would be that fierce but the more important problem is in their defense where Inter easily broke into their goal.

Thuram is a good alternative and I think if Lautaro Martinez is having trouble scoring goals, he could be a decent solution to replace his role. It's no wonder that Inter always has a way to get good players for free, but there is still one player who still makes us curious, namely Mehdi Taremi who also came to Inter for free, of course we are waiting for goals from him too. Juventus only temporarily shifted and after that Inter will take over the top again, so that's not a problem at all.

The performance from Inter in this season has also been good so far. They have started pretty well. I expected them to win all of the matches that they have played. But the good thing is they have not lost a single match and they have been able to win two matches and get one point from the other. the start from Simone Inzaghi looks very promising. It is hard to say if Simone Inzaghi's squad are going to dominate this season just like they did in the last as well. Actually, no doubt Nerazzurri will have good competition in this season. I agree with you about Juventus, but I am expecting Thiago Motta to be in the competition for the title race till the end of the season.



Yes, Marcus Thuram played well in the last match, getting a brace for himself. His excellent shoot from the D box is just amazing. You know this is second time in a row that Nerazzurri defeated La Dea by a 4-0 scoreline in Serie-A, but again as I said, it is too early to predict anything, one thing we can say without a doubt is that this team is going to be very strong and will defend their title very well. Now if they are going to be successful or not easy yet to be seen.

It's really weird to see Conte really interested with Lukaku while they already have Osimhen, Conte didn't give any chance for Osimhen, while Lukaku after has been signed, now he plays for his first debut. Lukaku should be man of the match since he saves Napoli from lose.

I'm sure Osimhen will leave Napoli, but we still don't know which team he will join. I think he will not join to Chelsea because if Chelsea wants him, it would be a swap deal. I guess Osimhen will go to PSG instead.

the previous bet, many big ones, disappointed me, but I play for fun, let's try again

too many difficult games, I didn't feel like it, in the end I opted for 4 games



I kept out the games that I thought were too difficult and put the ones that seemed easier to me at the end
last week I did x11, winning all the games, this week I'll try with a modest x6
just to see if I can win twice in a row

It's not just about quality but Osimhen's relationship with Napoli management has not improved since last season so it's only natural that Conte doesn't include Osimhen in his plans to build the Napoli team.
Conte's interest in Lukaku is quite reasonable even though there is a lot of criticism because Lukaku's performance has declined in the last few seasons but Lukaku managed to silence the criticism in his debut match which saved Napoli from defeat with a goal at the end of the match that he managed to score.

Osimhen will certainly leave, Napoli management has really not included him in the team's plans even the number 9 he wears has been given to Lukaku.

[Fiatless]

Congratulations to Napoli for a hard-fought victory. They had to fight till almost the end of the match for them to equalise and win the game. It is also wonderful to see Romelu Lukaku scoring an important goal today. The team is still improving, that's normal for clubs at the beginning of the season. Antonio Conte has made it clear that Victor Osimhen is not part of his plans, so the Nigerian will be ostracised from the first team. But for me, this will be a waste of financial and human resources. The coach should bring the Nigerian back into the team to make the attack more effective. They shouldn't depend on Lukaku alone. They should also be aware that the Nigerian still have a running contract which means he would receive his pay constantly. Osimhen will be going through so much psychological stress, but he shouldn't give up life sometimes is not fair.

Although Juventus is very favored to be able to win at home against Roma in today's match, Juventus should also not underestimate any opponent including the team they will face today because anything is still possible in the match so Juventus must remain careful and play as well as possible in order to win at home. Because a team like Roma can also make a surprise from every mistake made by their opponent even though Roma's attack line is not as good as Juventus and this could also happen to Juventus in today's match.

It must be either Lukaku or Neres deserves appreciations. This was because Lukaku alone would not help us to win the game, but Neres once again come as our savior in the late game. Also, Neres got in as a sub. They both changed the game when they as soon as they went in.

About Osimhen, we must wait longer. Nothing decided regarding his future. However, there was an offer from Saudi, but he has not accepted it.

[Weawant]

Everything is getting worse for Osimhen and it seems he is going to have a bad season in Napoli if he stays in this team.

It's really sad Napoli had to go this far treating osimhen this way after all he has done for the team, I even think now it would have been even much better for him if he had left since last season he got an offer from Chelsea but he ignored and renewed his contract at Napoli, now he's been treated less of a top player. He has an offer from the Saudi pro league which I see would have been a fair deal way better than that which he was getting from Chelsea, it would have been better if he he had gone as staying in Napoli at this time will be of no benefit for him, before the transfer windows are close he should make the best move so his career doesn't suffer at Napoli another season.

One of the matches we are looking forward to is the Juventus vs AS Roma match, in their meeting many predicted that Juventus would win the match, but that is very natural because Juventus was able to start very well, while AS Roma had to struggle at the beginning of this season. Juventus also certainly does not want to miss the opportunities that come in front of them by taking advantage of the instability shown by AS Roma at the beginning of the season. On the other hand, AS Roma itself will certainly be more motivated to be able to get their first win in Serie A this season, even though the opponent they will face is not an opponent that they will be able to beat easily. Now, they must prepare themselves as well as possible so as not to get negative results again.

It is possible that Conte saw that Osimhen would not fit into the scheme he would implement, so choosing Lukaku was a definite choice, and on his debut in the match earlier, Lukaku indicated that the trust Conte gave him was right, every coach definitely wants to build his dream team with players who really fit personally, and again as you said Osimhen is having unresolved issues, giving trust at a time like that, the worst possibility is that the team will not develop well. By the way, is there a club that will be Osimhen's harbor because I have not found accurate news about which club will recruit Osimhen.

[bastisisca]

The match between Juventus vs AS Roma is basically a big match but unfortunately, at this moment also that AS Roma is still in a situation that may be bad.

True, but Roma is still a great team with excellent players.
Unfortunately the problem of the crisis is not just one, unfortunately there are multiple problems.
I honestly don't know how to solve them, it's a very complex case for people who have a lot of experience and I don't think De Rossi can succeed.

[Marvelockg]

the relationship between osimehn and Napoli is just a contract based one and it's nothing to get emotional about. He is no longer a part of the team and that's why the club was eagerly looking for an option for him before the close of the transfer windows but he together with his manager were reluctant with the move. Napoli needed a striker that can occupy his position and getting Napoli was the best choice they heard, they even respected him by not giving lukaku his jersey but rather have him the number 11 jersey so I don't know why we are making an issue out of this. Is the treatment Napoli gave to him worse than what Chelsea did to her players whose contract expired during the transfer windows and even denied access to all thier training facilities? Football is business and osimehn and his agent should have known better that you have to treat it as business before considering catching fun or playing in the top league. The moment you stop being a useful player in the team the team immediately starts finding a better replacement for you which is the main reason why every player ought to be smart enough to make use of the kind of opportunity osimehn hard to iether go to Chelsea or Al ahli.

[Majestic-milf]

 A fine way to begin your debut at your new club when you net a goal when it's most needed. Lukaku gave Napoli a goal when everyone thought it was over for them and I'm sure that was what kept their hopes alive to hunt for a second goal and I must admit that this performance from the Belgian striker has given Conte enough proof that his purchase was not one necessitated by impulse or a sheer waste of funds but one that was highly needed and it's showing that Osimhen won't be missed because you could see him stepping into the role perfectly.
 Without doubt, Parma were the better side in the game yesterday and they showed more composure than Napoli and if it wasn't for the red card given to their keeper, Suzuki, I doubt Napoli would have been able to come back and win.
Six points out of nine for Conte and his boys and it's safe to say they are well on to getting their groove back, that's if they can maintain it though.

[Slow death]

SS Lazio - AC Milan

It's a difficult game to predict, I think a draw is the most likely outcome.

It is possible that the match will end in a draw, because AC Milan has not found its best form under new manager Paulo Fonseca. Lazio has collected 1 point more in the last two matches, with one win and one loss, while AC Milan started this season campaign with a worse record than Lazio, they were held to a draw by Torino and then defeated by Parma. Clearly AC Milan will have difficulty starting to create consistency, Lazio is slightly advantaged because they act as hosts. However, if you want to bet on one of them winning, I think it takes a lot of consideration.

AC Milan journey to become one of the Scudetto challengers this season seems difficult to realize, the change of manager and the overhaul of the squad depth require a longer adaptation. If Lazio is able to beat AC Milan, then Paulo Fonseca position will be even more pressured, and I think fans will criticize his managerial strategy. In addition, AC Milan will face other elite teams in the Champions League, Paulo Fonseca must immediately find a solution to create a solid team, so that he can speed up the adaptation period.

Milan's problem is in defense. Even the former coach was unable to improve Milan's defense. They managed to score a lot of goals, at least 2 goals, but they also conceded a lot of goals, which meant they would draw or lose games that they were supposed to win easily. Milan drew with Lazio, as I predicted. Now I'm reading that Rafael Leao and Paulo Fonseca are involved in a disagreement. These are rumors from Italian websites. I don't know to what extent this news is true. But this type of news, if true, is not good for the team.

Tension at the Olimpico: Leao and Theo Hernandez snub Fonseca during cooling break

Speaking after the game, Fonseca was quick to downplay the incident, saying: “I spoke with the players about my choice this week, they accepted it, and there are no problems. I was focused and didn’t notice, but let’s not create problems because there aren’t any. The players’ response was good, their reaction as well. I don’t run away with excuses, when there are problems I don’t hide them. I don’t tell lies.”

I won't be surprised if the Milan coach is fired this season, it seems to me that he won't be able to get Milan to finish at least in one of the 4 positions. He needs to solve the team's problems while it's still too early because the other big teams could be far behind in the table.
