Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[FanEagle]

Como was at Serie B only like 3 years ago or something, or 4 years ago, something like that. They reached Serie A and then suddenly they are now in top four and going to UCL, which is a huge deal and people should realize they are not that much ready for it. I am guessing that the most likely result will be that they are not going to be at top 24, they are going to just play the group stages and then leave, that is the most common assumption.

However, if we somehow see them get some more players, then maybe they can barely get in. Still, they needed Nico because this season is the biggest season in COMO's history and there is no way they can let their best player leave, they need to keep him and get even better so they can have a fighting chance.

Only time will tell if this is a mistake. Nico Paz is a young and talented player. His chances of getting into the Real Madrid squad are very slim because there are so many high-quality players and the competition for a place in the team is fierce. Right now he's playing comfortably with Como and he's happy there. That's why I understand why he doesn't want to return to Real Madrid.

There are many players who have always regretted not going to Real Madrid once they were rejected, so since Nico trained at Real Madrid, he has the doors open. I hope he can reconsider. I know he feels very good there, but he needs to think more about his future. He's still a good player; he needs a team that is highly valued and he needs to think very carefully about his future.

In my opinion, talented players like Nico Paz need regular playing time; for him, moving to Real Madrid would mean facing more competition and getting less playing time.
I think he’s doing the right thing by staying at Como; there, he can better showcase his qualities and the team would adapt more to his style of play, whereas at Real Madrid he’d have to readjust.
Furthermore, given his young age, he can always aspire to play for Real Madrid, but with more experience under his belt.

Last season Como only managed to finish 10th in Serie A. But this season Como?s performance has improved significantly by securing a 4th-place finish and even earning a spot in next season?s Champions League. Next season Como might perform even better given how well they?ve adapted to Serie A. And they?ll be able to sign talented players to strengthen their squad thanks to the team?s substantial revenue from tournament prizes and even other sources. So I personally confident that Como can at least stay in Serie A next season. They seem to possess great fighting spirit and confidence under Cesc Fabregas?s guidance. However their journey also requires vigilance against other teams that are also planning to improve their performance. Como must not underestimate the teams they have previously defeated so that they can compete with great tenacity or even at the very least avoid finding themselves in the relegation zone.

He could and will do better because as they say, appetite comes with eating and I'm sure the boys from Como are hungry. Fame that Napoli lost for example, I'm also very sorry that coach Antonio Conte left, i saw him as a good coach who could stand up to De Laurentis.

[bastisisca]

If Nico Paz were to join Real Madrid right now, it would hinder his development because he'd struggle to get enough playing time. So it's a smart move for Nico Paz to stay at Como for at least one more season so he can continue honing his skills, especially since he's guaranteed a starting spot under Fabregas.

I don't mind him as a player, in fact my team Inter has put him under the careful eye of those who would like to buy him and steal him from the Como club. Lautaro is strong, but has his age while Nico Paz is very young. Let's see if they will be able to carry out another super signing campaign at Inter.

[pewboy]

Good news for Como and for Cesc Fabregas who can breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if everything remains postponed for a year, with the sword of Damocles hanging over Fabregas' head.
Because Nico Paz is now integrated into the game, it's not easy to change someone so integrated.

This is just good news for Como, but while it might seem simple, it actually requires more commitment than usual. Both fans and managers expect significant improvements. Furthermore, with the Champions League classification, the performance bar must be raised, and the teams they compete with are starting to become difficult.

Como has made a journey that few teams in Serie A can boast of such a journey, i understand that for other teams it seems impossible, but Como has done it, but there is also something very important to say, this team was created with a huge investment behind it and this thing is very important.

[m4r1o]

Como must not underestimate the teams they have previously defeated so that they can compete with great tenacity or even at the very least avoid finding themselves in the relegation zone.

Como will never end up in the relegation zone, they have a team that will go to the Champions League and they have beaten the best Italian teams, this cannot be a coincidence, the talent is there and the desire to do well too, i think they know a lot about the investments too, so i don't think they will have problems.

But what's going on here? The same thing happened with Endrick; he left so he could improve and then contribute to his club. Of course, I know it's his decision whether he comes back or not; everything in life is a decision. But when the club starts to win and he doesn't shine as much as he can at the club, that will take its toll on his professional career. Right now, he doesn't see it; he's young, he has the talent, and he has his abilities in abundance, but at some point, he'll realize it's a mistake.

I don't understand. Are you saying Nico Paz made a mistake by not going back to Real Madrid? How so? What is there for him?
You think simply because Madrid is a big club, he would do big things? Do we need to make a list of the young good players who struggled in Madrid?
He is in a club where he's loved, and he's playing beautiful football. Everybody can see he is a good player, so as long as he is enjoying himself and competing at the top level, I don't see anything wrong with it.
He is still just 21 years old. Worst-case scenario, he leaves Como for another club if things don't work out. Madrid still has a buy-back clause on him, so they can activate it if they really need him in future.
I don't agree that staying in Como is a mistake. I believe that is what is best for his career right now. He won't get that much playing time, and the patience to improve in Madrid.

[Velvet78]

I believe Paz did the right thing for himself. If he returned to Real Madrid, maybe he wasn't going to be able to play often. I shouldn't even say maybe. Real Madrid is full of stars in every position. Rivalry is at high level...

Como will never end up in the relegation zone, they have a team that will go to the Champions League and they have beaten the best Italian teams, this cannot be a coincidence, the talent is there and the desire to do well too, i think they know a lot about the investments too, so i don't think they will have problems.

If you are saying that for next season then yeah we think the same. However if you meant forever staying in the Serie A, that's a bold claim.   

They are a rich team of course but things might go sideways in the future maybe who knows...

[banana33]

It's possible that Juventus intends to significantly reduce the salaries of their current players and plan to rebuild the squad to be stronger for next season.
Dusan Vlahovic earns a fairly high salary at Juventus, but considering his current contribution, it's not significant, so an evaluation is needed. Kolo Muani still needs time to gain more playing time so his contribution can be more visible. Next season, if Juventus intends to compete with several other teams, changes must be made.
Purchasing Kolo Muani may not be the right decision, but no one knows how this interest arose, and Juventus is certainly considering something from him.

i am not yet convinced of these changes, nothing taking away from Carnevali he is certainly an excellent coach, but i still don't see Juventus at a level that will leave its mark this next season, furthermore as a Milan fan that i am, even for my Milan i am not convinced about what they are doing, unfortunately statistically maybe we can guess something, but what then commands is the pitch, we'll see them if things actually work.

Yes, the amount of players' wages at Juventus is monstrous for a team that hasn't even managed to qualify for the Champions League, and this is something that will certainly be reduced, i is sure that Dusan Vlahovic will actually leave the team and i is convinced that he will do so shortly because he really earns a lot.

While it is good news that they do get to keep Nico Paz, the amount of money they are spending to keep the player that they already have, shows that the deal was not a good one for them. And not like they fixed it neither, that's the problem. So the deal seems to be (and I could be wrong because many places are showing different numbers) Como basically pays 60 million to keep the player they already had, could have paid nothing if they didn't put a buyback last time. And on top of that, there is STILL a buyback, if Nico wants to leave next summer, Madrid could pay the money back the sixty million and then get him back.

[giorgione]

It was a risky move for Nico Paz to go into Real Madrid, who guarantee you the spot between the starter eleven? Nobody and if you start to play less minutes it could be a huge step behind in your career, so with Como playing in europe and having a solid proyect with him and Fabregas is the best and smart decission to stay at Como.

In my opinion Nico Paz going to Real Madrid will never play as a starter, and i understand that staying in como is a very intelligent choice, also considering that he will be able to play in the Champions League as a starter, showing off himself even more, while at Real Madrid he certainly won't play and won't do anything sensational.

[Lannakosa]

Moreover, Vlahovic is demanding an even higher salary, so he will most likely leave the club because his performances have not been as good as expected. If I remember correctly, Juventus have been trying to sell Vlahovic for the past two seasons but couldn't do so because of his high asking price. Now Vlahovic is a free agent because his contract with Juventus expired on June 1. If he doesn't renew or sign a new contract with Juventus, he will join another club as a free agent.

But this season Como’s performance has improved significantly by securing a 4th-place finish and even earning a spot in next season’s Champions League.

And they’ll be able to sign talented players to strengthen their squad thanks to the team’s substantial revenue from tournament prizes and even other sources. So I personally confident that Como can at least stay in Serie A next season. They seem to possess great fighting spirit and confidence under Cesc Fabregas’s guidance.

Como must not underestimate the teams they have previously defeated so that they can compete with great tenacity or even at the very least avoid finding themselves in the relegation zone.

I think expectations for Como should be lowered a bit. Sorry, I'm not trying to discourage the fans, but we can look at examples from other leagues.

In La Liga, Girona finished in the top 10 after getting promoted. The following season, they went on to finish in the top 3 and qualified for the Champions League. But what happened to Girona in the seasons after that? Well, their performances eventually declined, and they ended up getting relegated this season.

That's just one real example from another league, and Como's situation feels quite similar to Girona's. So for now, I still don't believe Como will be able to perform at the same level they did before.

[cande86]

I think it's a really good move for Juventus, the player Kolo Muani is an excellent player if you think he can team up with another striker who isn't at the level of Dusan Vlahovic who will surely leave, i think Juventus should start from there and rebuild their success.

Kolo Muani is a talented player. But he did not get much opportunity at Paris Saint-Germain . He played as a substitute. But at Juventus he will definitely  get a place in the  starting XI. Vlahovic is likely to leave juventus as a free agent. Apart from Kolo muani, Juventus need to add another talented  forward to their squad. In the last few seasons , we have seen poor  performance of juventus' attack. If their attack is so weak this  season, then the team will not be able  to qualify  for the champions league next season either.

Kolo Muani is an excellent player and above all at Juventus he has shown that he can give a lot to the team, certainly more than Dusan who had one championship, another championship, still far below expectations, and which certainly will not bring any future advantage, i believe in the boy and i think it is right to bring him back.

One thing Como has proven to everyone in the most recently concluded season is, they can achieve more than we can imagine of them. Such a team is not one you underestimate again for any reason. They will take you by so much surprise if you think less of them. Looking at the new season ahead,  I believe even them, they understand what is ahead and will definitely want to follow through with it in the work that is needed for them to get some more exceptional results this new season. They might just be the next big thing that will happen to the Italian league in the coming seasons.

[aipercoin]

It's time for Nico to take decisions wisely so that he can create good chances for him in his career building and make his name written in world class players. He is a very young and  talented player and the mist importantly that he has the potential to do something great which really can make him spectacular. And I think all teams or clubs prioritize the young players so that they can get more energy to achieve their target goal. So, i thi k Nico will find many places to go and move forward but it will be better if he now stays in como and give his best as well. This will definitely helps him to make an attractive vibe from the big clubs and he can easily join any whenever he will want. He just has to focused on his goal to be good and concentrate on him to bring more improvements in all his moves

Considering that if he comes back he will have to compete with Valverde and Mbappe, perhaps it is better for him to stay, not just for a year but also for two or three. He gets nothing out of it except the bench by returning to Real Madrid.
It would remain there to collect dust, so it's better to play, accumulate experience and grow your value.

I don’t think Como will be relegated; the chances seem very slim. Como continues to strive to become a great team, and judging by what they’ve been doing so far, they’re truly serious about building this team into a title contender. Como has transformed into a force to be reckoned with by other teams in Serie A and the Champions League.

Lautaro is strong, but has his age while Nico Paz is very young. Let's see if they will be able to carry out another super signing campaign at Inter.

I don't think Inter Milan will sign Nico Paz because he has stated his desire to stay at Como, realizing that he's where he is today thanks to Como giving him the opportunity to demonstrate his potential. So, he's firmly committed to staying at Como and Real Madrid has been quite wise in making this decision.

If Madrid wanted to profit from Nico Paz, they certainly could, as Madrid has a buyback clause that allows them to buy him back at a low price and sell him again at a high price. Many teams would certainly want Nico Paz's services. But Real Madrid didn't do that they agreed to keep Nico at Como, but with the same condition that Madrid retains full control over him.
