The Serie A Thread

[Leif 6,006]

Juventus vs. Inter Milan is on right now. It's an extremely complicated set-up, where the winner faces AC Milan later on, and then the loser faces AC Milan even later on after that or something. No idea really.

Enjoyable game though.

It's basically Juventus' reserve players vs. most of Inter's main players.

Lucio (recently left Inter for Juve) had a little blunder (I assume it was a parting gift) allowing Inter's Coutinho to score.

It's around 20 minutes in. 1-0 to Inter Milan.

AC Milan were destroyed by Real Madrid 5-1....it's not looking up for Italian football at the moment.

What Stramaccioni actually used Coutinho? Lad will be unreal in a few years. Big talent. Pity he was over looked by Ranieri and their other managers before.

Coutinho didn't really impress me, in honesty.

Though to be fair not many from Inter have since Jose left. The great one still taunts us and Inter from beyond the 'grave'.

Yeah, Coutinho was a beast at Espanyol last season, so it would be foolish not to use him. As we discussed earlier Stramaccioni was a youth coach at Inter and I belive he will be using a lot of youth next season.

Wait, Coutinho left the club?

No wonder I haven't been impressed by him of late, I didn't even know where he was

Was on loan at Espanyol as Spike said.

Is this Lorenzo Insigne (unsure if right spelling) ?

And is Napoli like the most tattoo'd team ever haha? Rumor is yous want Meireles too, wow would be like tattoo mania then!

[Leif 6,006]

I am SOOO pumped to see what AS Roma produce next season!!!!!!!!!!

Will their new "who cares about letting goals in? Just outscore the opponents!" philosophy work?

How many cigarettes will the new manager have during each game?

Who knows. But I'm excited.

(I'm also curious to see how Fiorentina perform given they've signed some really good midfielders.)

Looking forward to the Supercoppa Italiana tomorrow between Juve and Napoli.

Good luck Solonapoli.

Avram for new Juve manager!

First, don't even joke about that! Second,Conte won't be leaving; he just won't be on the sidelines during games or in press conferences.

[Jase 43,479]

Avram for new Juve manager!

If that happens, Juve better prepare for life in Serie B again.

Cassano + €7Million goes to Inter Milan for Pazzini

Cassano has claimed to be proud to join a club he can finally support.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

@, Inter definitely got the better deal imo. Pazzini is a good striker for a mid table team.
