Watching Juve v Bologna right now. As much as i am loving Krasic for Juve he really needs to stop diving. He just got a penalty for the biggest dive...

My Serie A team is Fiorentina. Was very happy to see they're out of the relegation spot

Fair enough mate! I follow Juve and have for most of my life!

Chelsea comes first then Juve! But i really hate seeing diving like i just did from Krasic, actually makes me sick!

I know what you mean. He's a class winger and would be welcomed at most top teams (I think United are still after him) but his dives are probably the most cynical and obvious I've seen, but, because of the standard of Italian refereeing he gets away with it most times.

He does it so much and most of them get called which is even more frustrating. He is getting that reputation and its not good for him. Just look what happened to Drogba.

Well, Drogba's improved a lot on his "theatrics" so there's a bit of hope there for Krasic. Apparently Juve are in for Dzeko in Jan!

(Also, I think you need to make an Eredivisie thread because PSV are leading Feyenoord 9-0!!)

Yep that's what i mean. He hardly does it any more but he is constantly known as the diver even if he was studded from behind he would be questioned... They have been interested in him for a while, it something we really need. We just do not have that lethal strike option.

When it comes to striking options, AC Milan really did well this summer! Their attackers; Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Pato, Inzaghi!

Bringing in Ibra and Robinho has been great for them. They are playing pretty well. Not to there full potential but are doing well for them selves!

P.S - Thread is open!

Always liked Roma. Even more so after Claudio moved there. Follow Milan's results as well. Shame they had to go for Ibrahimovic and make themselves eminently less likable.

I don't think they'd care, he's got 5 goals in 8 games for them

I hope Benitez plays Coutinho tonight! He's an immense talent (well.. He is Brazilian after all).

My serie a team is Milan (Ancelotti)

Milan have done brillantly in this transfer window They will soon solve the age problem With Papastapoulous[long long name] (Sokratis) Silva Pato and Robinho

[Madmax 9,219]

Milan's best signing has been Kevin Prince Boateng. The manager is a real idiot for not playing him every game. Their midfield has no pace or physicality at all and even then he sits this guy on the bench though he is exactly what they need. Flamini is a dud, Seedorf really shouldn't be playing anymore, his legs are gone. Gattuso huffs and puffs and gives it his all but age is catching up with him.

I agree with everything except the Seedorf part. He's been immense for them this season, his passes have been top notch. But agree that Gattuso needs to be replaced with KP.

Was just about to type something like this. The midfield Gattuso-Pirlo-Seedorf is a complete joke (combined age of 97!).

Instead of investing in a good goalkeeper, solid sidebacks and fresh midfielders they went and bought Ibrahimovic, while they already had Borriello and Huntelaar, and Robinho...

Agree about the keeper. Amelia does not look like a kind of keeper that'll keep them solid. Lord knows how they managed to keep on Dida for so many years, he was god awful!

However, Borriello and Hunterlaar had an awful season last year. Mind you, if Pato wasn't injured no-one would've noticed. However these 2 failed in trying to fill that void. Ibrahimovic and Robinho signings were genius. Especially Ibra, he's been scoring in almost every game.
