In all top leagues nice to see at least one underdog doing it. 

Are Napoli really underdogs, though? 

They were league champs the season before last. Inter are paying for fighting on all fronts (CL semis, Coppa Italia semis).

Now? Not underdogs. If you ask last summer, very much. They won in 2023, but that team is gone.. They finished 9th last season, they hired their 3rd coach since Spalletti, they lost the power names of that team(Osimhen, Kvara, Kim, Zielinski).. Their striker situation seemed very unconvincing at the end of August.. And now they are about to win the leage with "damaged goods" like Gilmour, McTominay, Lukaku, Spinazzola, Philip Billing(!!!). Amazing.

Conte is a very fucking special coach. He is not an easy person, but he will not lead your team to 15th place and stand next to the field like it was a bus stop. Same for Tuchel. These guys are so extra.

KK was on their books till Jan & Osimhen is still owned by them. Conte's decision to buy players who fit his style (remember Moses at RWB?!) is working in Napoli's favour. Gilmour was always a top player and you only needed to watch McTominay during his limited appearances for United in multiple positions or for the Scottish NT to see he could thrive in Serie A with his presence. 

There's no doubting his ability as a manger to win especially in Italy. It's his inability to win over a period of time with the same team (there's a reason he starts to kick up a fuss eventually), and the less said about his European record, the better.

Last season they finished 10th. Which means Conte would do it again. We were also 10th in a season before Conte arrived. 

Completely same actually. Chelsea and Napoli in a span of three seasons:

1st 

10th

Napoli aren't in European competition, and Inter are on a three game losing streak since beating Bayern. The points I mentioned still stand.

Revisit this post in 12 months time when Napoli have the CL to worry about as well.

Felix is fine as a back up option and cup games. 

He can make impact on games, but for 50 mil, better to move him on and try and recoup.

Felix scores 2nd match in a row from a free kick. He would've been a good option to have right now if that fraud didn't sidelined him.

No he wouldn’t he’s fucking useless 🤣
