Watching Juve today, why the f*** didn't we even try to go for Tevez? Absolute steal for Juve and what a player he is. Has the work-rate of three players!

He has always been like that, just like Rooney. He is willing to run 100 % even in the 98th minute and that's something I admire in him. There are issues about him being content in a club though.

BALOTELLI WOWWWW WHAT A GOAL!

[Jase 43,479]

Napoli have beaten AC Milan at the San Siro for the first time in the league since 1986!

He certainly seems content at Juve. From the first game, he looks like he has been playing there his whole life. Instantaneously fit in with the team. His movement is top class. He keeps the whole back four occupied by himself. Would have been a hundred times better than Eto'o, imho.

Ballotelli was just an unlucky modaf***er today. Glad he scored one at the end though. Thoroughly entertaining match between napoli and milan

De Rossi's gonna win the league

Well he has certainly strengthened them considerably in a single window. Rafa unlike the masterclass that is Mazzarri has actually added depth to Napoli which they were desperately lacking under Mazza. Mazza built the engine and frame, all Rafa has to do is add the details and Napoli can easily charge the Scudetto.

Another analogy is that Mazza put the money into the vending machine and ordered the Scudetto. All Rafa has to do is reach for it and take it out of the slot before Conte sneaks up behind him and steals it away.

Plus, what rafa has done is improve their system, especially in attack. They were a one-man team last season at times.

Dont lose your cool Jake!

Rafael Benitez had a very few influence in Napoli's transfer window, most of te targets they bought were already under their radar before he even got there. Also, he is playing the same system and with Hamisk actually remembering to play football.

People are acting like Napoli didnt almost reach UCL best position in their history (if they had beaten us) and like they didnt finish second even after losing Lavezzi.

So you cant sit here and act as if Benitez transformed Napoli into a force...

Benitez was involved only in Albiol, Callejon, Reina and Higuain transfers...

And I am Santa!

Just wait until he does what he knows best, fuck up...

He is a good manager (not great), who is incredibly lucky. He did a excellent job at Liverpool, but after that he had superb chances and couldnt capitalize in most of them. Ferguson was spot on!

Do you really think that Bigon can even think to buy Higuain? Best Bigon's buy was Nestor

Higuain and Reina told a lot of time (even yesterday) that he choose Napoli because of Benitez

Callejon and Albiol have same manager than Benitez (Quillon)

I think Benitez has benefitted for a lot of things he didnt do throughout his career, thats what I think...

Besides his amazing work in Liverpool, he didnt win the Premier League. He got a super champions Inter and sunk them. He got a Chelsea that participated in every single tournament and was able to lost CWC to Corinthians, COC to Swansea and to QPR at Stamford Bridge. And now he got an already pretty good Napoli with 63mi euros to spend!

I am not saying he is a bad manager and doesnt deserve to be in charge of a big club. It is just that he benefited a lot from other people's work in the course of the past decade and still didnt 'wow' the football world.
