Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

There is really only one main problem:
Vlahović was vastly overrated when Juventus bought him, and unfortunately, they are paying a heavy price for that mistake.
The young man certainly has talent, but he isn't worth the fee Juventus paid, nor is he worth the massive salary he receives every month. Now, they are forced to lose him on a free transfer.

Juventus will no longer have to worry about paying Vlahovic such a large salary because his contract with Juventus has expired. And they couldn't agree on an extension. Because Juventus was going to offer him half his salary, and Vlahovic didn't accept it. I think the only positive thing about this situation for Juventus is that they'll be able to reduce their wage bill. But the negative is that they're left without a forward. And I think it's going to be another difficult season for the Juventus attack.

Juventus made the right decision of letting him go. His wage is on the high side and does not favour Juventus in respect to his impact to the team. He is a good player but he is not in that rank to receive such salary. He had only 7 league goals last  season with his highest scoring season being 16 goals in the 23/24 season. Juventus can go for other options like Alexander Sorlot who could leave Atletico Madrid this window. He has a better stat and receives less than €180k weekly. This will be a wiser decision and more cost effective to fit into that position and boost the attack for the coming season. Juventus will not be playing the champions League next season which could also be a disadvantage to get more elite players but I think Alexander Sorlot would choose them over Fenerbahce who are already in the race for the striker valued at €40 million by the ATM.

I don't think Juventus will let J. David go.
Last season they signed him as the solution to their attacking problems, and I'm convinced they still hold that view.
In reality, however, the player hasn't really lived up to his potential could he do so this year? Perhaps, because by now he should have settled in. It won't be easy to sell him either, unless there are buyers willing to take him on.

I am of the opinion that selling David would be a good thing if we then bought a player with the characteristics of an assist-man, Kolo Muani being the real striker. At the same time, keeping David could be an option to keep as a second striker who plays for the Frenchman to score.

The transfer window didn't close after that, and Juventus can still acquire a good striker. They have that chance right now. They didn't extend Vlahovic's contract because they didn't get their money's worth. The club now has to make more radical decisions because performance is paramount. We know that Juventus hasn't performed well in recent years. Therefore, some players have to leave.

I thought the smiley I placed at the end of my post would be enough for everyone to know that I was joking and being sarcastic. Apparently it wasn't.

Unfortunately Jonathan David is a player with mediocre qualities, but not excellent ones. At Lille he did great things because in a league that allows you to do better. In Serie A, where the teams are more defensive, you have to be able to demonstrate that you can move faster. And David has precisely this lack that prevents him from coming out in Serie A.

David's performance at Juventus was very poor. Juventus has been unable to get the desired performance from the strikers they've recently signed. Currently, Juventus' most pressing need is a striker. Without wingers, Juventus can't score goals. This was perhaps one of the main reasons for their decline in performance last year. Juventus needs a very good, clinical striker. Perhaps they should spend a lot of money on this, because the other players in the squad aren't bad. However, without a clinical striker, you can't achieve better performance.

[changaa]

I won't be too quick to judge, so I will wait and see how the club perform next season.

In my opinion, however, Juve have made the right moves so far. Since Vlahovic is a free agent, a player who has never fully convinced, they chose to focus again on Colomuani, who is superior to Vlahovic in terms of technique, speed, and probably also in terms of coolness in front of goal. So i am convinced that, if put in the right conditions, Colomuani can do very well. All that remains is to see the latest purchases towards the end of the transfer window, to complete the squad.
But i hope my beloved team works, i mean Milan.

I’m of the opinion that Juventus won’t sell David during this transfer window, not least because their options up front are very limited, and having a striker like David – even on the bench – is crucial for a team like Juventus.
But who knows what the board, and above all Spalletti, are thinking

Juventus is a big team in Italy with a long history. Juventus chances of winning the Italian league this season are very good. Juventus striker Kenan Yildiz, a young player from Turkey. will also mature this season He just needs more trust from his teammates. Last season, they finished 6 in the Serie A standings with 69 points from 19 wins, 12 draws, and 7 losses. In my opinion, Juventus will be better this season as proven in their friendly match, they won against Chelsea. The players are developing, the team game is getting more solid. Juventus is very ready to take on the league in my opinion.

The thing Juve lacks most is team spirit, that desire to feel united and play for the club you represent. Kenan Yildiz in my opinion is an excellent number 10, but he needs to be supported by players of a different level than Juventus last year. The club is fulfilling its duties by purchasing top players. If this continues, as far as the other departments of the game are concerned, it could be an excellent season for Juve.

That's the challenge in Seria A. If you're a striker, much work needs to be done in order for you to penetrate your opponent defense since, they're playing a defensive game. This is why you see that Seria A doesn't have much goals scored in total at the end of the league compared to other big leagues. David should improve his pace.

another team like Milan in search of identity and in search of itself
at least, compared to Milan, they understood that they have to keep decent coaches at home
and also buy the players, which are needed, not just for fashion

Let's see if they too will make another fool of themselves or if they will finally manage to have a decent season.

[verdinio]

Obviously Real Madrid would buy the player back without asking too many questions if they wanted to, as we see rumours suggesting Real Madrid could have an option to bring him back for €80m in the future. However it seems that Paz's future is now in Real Madrid's hands, in fact Real Madrid have much more experienced and high-quality midfielders than Nico Paz, so I think it will be difficult for him to get regular playing time behind those established stars.

At this point, we can assume that since Madrid was able to buy a winger like Diomand for over 100 million euros, they might also be able to buy Nico Paz if the player can continue his good performances in the upcoming season.

Real Madrid doesn't have this kind of problem, if they see that the player is strong they take him even if he costs a lot. It all depends on Nico Paz and how he will perform in the new season and also how he will perform in the Champions League. Of course, Real Madrid has many strong players, they would find little space but they could play easily.

Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, though. With Kolo Muani at the club now, it doesn't look like David will be a starter. And if they bring in a similar attacker like David, his playing time will be greatly limited. Jonathan is a great opportunity to score some valuable capital gains points. He came to Juventus last season on a free transfer and if a good offer were to arrive, I think they would sell him. As you said, he hasn't live up to the hype.

Juventus has a lot of strikers and lately in the last couple of seasons they have been getting them a lot. All these strikers didnt do much,the only guy who did something was Vlahovic and even he didnt score much. If they could sell David they will probobly do it. Juventus is currently missing a striker that can score a lot of goals,because currently from what they are having is not enough and they arent good enough at all.

Sometimes Vlahovic was good too, you said that well. Now Kolo Muani has come back again and we'll see if he can do something once more... I remember when Juventus had Mandzukic, Tevez, Vucinic, and many other great strikers. Now, changes are necessary and Juventus needs to get back to its old ways.

Vlahovic is a different matter altogether; he’s now at loggerheads with the board, and the board would be only too happy to sell him or let him leave because his wages are sky-high and he’s not delivering as much as the board had hoped!
Of course, with Kolo Muani’s arrival, someone has to make way

It's been like that for a long time. It's obvious that he's not happy with the salary he's gets either. Unfortunately, I was hoping he'd be in good form. Honestly, he hasn't shown much for the Serbian national team either, but somehow i know he has talent and that this poor form is only temporary. I hope he'll find a club where he'll play well again

We know that Juventus hasn't performed well in recent years. Therefore, some players have to leave.

Juventus has never been able to maintain consistency throughout the season. Sometimes they only look very strong at the start of the season, but after that, we always see the team falter as the season progresses. This cycle has repeated itself over the past few seasons, and it clearly shows that Juventus needs to bring in better new players. They really need to be more decisive and act quickly in deciding which players to let go and which ones they’re truly targeting to acquire.

But Juventus has had one problem all along that has prevented them from signing the best players. Well, their financial issues and budget constraints in the transfer market are nothing new. Quite often, the team has to sell some players first in order to buy new ones.

They definitely won't have time to rest in the new season. ) But seriously, I think it would be great for Como to finish in the top four again this season, earning a Champions League spot. If Fabricos manages to repeat this achievement, I'll consider it a significant improvement for Como, I think that's where they should focus most. They're unlikely to achieve anything in the Champions League, I'm not even sure they'll be able to get out of the group.

we should talk about merits, but for those we have to wait until the start of the new season to understand how the teams will relate to the game in this championship. Last year Como certainly deserved to participate in the Champions League more than Milan and Juventus. Next year will be a completely different game and another championship to evaluate.

What Como achieved last season cannot he compared with what any other club achieved. 2 years back Como was playing in Seria B, now getting to Seria A, not only did they remain in Seria A but they also get a champions league football. I don’t really care about how they do in the champions league this coming season, being able to participate in it is really a big step for them.

I still won’t underrate them this coming coming season. Fabregas have shown that he his a very good coach and with the transfers he his making i think they will do well in all competitions. I really want to see how they perform against top teams in Europe.

Fiorentina made a good signing. They've signed Franco Mastantuono on a 1 year loan from Real Madrid. But I don't see if there's a buyout option. They'll benefit from him for a year, but Real Madrid will take him back. He got playing time in 23 matches last season. He didn't contribute goals on offense, but we know he's a good and promising player. Moving to a place where he could play more was the most logical move. He'll get the playing time he wants at Fiorentina. He'll return with Serie A experience on his resume.

I hope the player perform well in Fiorentina in this loan time he will spend with them, because he is yet to get a playing time in the senior team and with his fate in their national team not yet stable, he will need playing time to prove himself worthy of being in the national team.

This is an opportunity for Franco Mastantuono to prove himself worthy of Real Madrid senior team because his position is competitive, so he will be patient with loans to get himself a better team and a starting position in the team because he is a good player.

In Serie A, where the teams are more defensive, you have to be able to demonstrate that you can move faster. And David has precisely this lack that prevents him from coming out in Serie A.

David's performance was much worse than expected and many dreams were made about him, in the beginning, David was getting that much but gradually David lost his performance. If he cannot change himself very quickly at this moment, then maybe a very bad situation is waiting for David in the future. The reason behind David's poor performance cannot be said yet, but the possible problems that exist need to be overcome quickly. If there is any problem like adapting to the new team or not being able to handle the extra pressure, then these problems need to be solved very quickly.

Judging by Juve changes this preseason, I'm increasingly convinced that Juve management decision to retain Spalletti was the right choice even though he failed to lead Juventus to a Champions League spot last season. However, it seems Juve management believes the team's failure last season wasn't entirely the coach's fault, but rather that they need to evaluate everything thoroughly. This is also why we see club management choosing to give full support to Spalletti especially regarding transfers.

The results so far have been quite good and Juve performance has shown good progress including wins against Nice and then against Chelsea in preseason matches. Granted these are preseason matches but a win against Chelsea will boost team morale ahead of the new season. Of course, preseason matches aren't a benchmark but at least the current improvement is good and Spalletti will continue to improve the team stability, especially with the transfer window still open.
