Locky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Fixtures were announced today. http://www.football-italia.net/52762/serie-2014-15-fixtures Tough start for Milan who are looking to improve drastically under Pippo. Good start for my Inter as well who surely have to aim to get back in the top 3 again. Can't wait for it all to kick off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 2 goals in 2 minutes for Pinilla on his Genoa debut against Pro Vercelli.

Locky Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 1 week til the big kick off. Few Serie A clubs playing in the early stages of the Coppa Italia tonight. Lazio won 7-0 scoring all the goals in the second half. New signing Stefan de Vrij scored on his debut. Mauricio Pinilla scored Genoa's only goal to take them through and Antonio di Natale scored all of Udinese's goals in a 5-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 As an Italian football fan and general football geek, I was disgusted with myself when I just found out that Conte had left Juve for the national team while Allegri took over. Knew Conte to leave was almost a cert but hadn't seen confirmation anywhere. Looking at Roma's team on paper, they've strengthened even more than last year. I don't know if they're ready to win the title yet but they will come closer. Still can't see past Juve this season I'm afraid but they won't have it all their own way like recent years. Not sure what to expect from Inter this season and certainly don't expect them to get off to a flyer tomorrow night. Speaking of Torino though, they look like dark horses to push even higher up the table. Expect Lazio to be a bit more of a force this season too. They've invested quite a bit into the playing squad. Think they were the 2nd or 3rd highest spenders of the summer. How Milan do relies a lot on how good Torres becomes I think but they'll be a bit sounder defensively I think. I think this season will be the start of a decline for Napoli. Missing out on the group stages of the CL will have hit their pockets hard, especially after spending a bit of cash last season. Due to that, they won't make top 3 this season meaning it's a cert that Higuain and Hamsik will go within the next year. In my opinion anyway. As for Fiorentina, their season will depend a lot on who stays fit. Rossi mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 De Scantics with some brilliant stops. Merrited the win over the 90. Main concern this season is competing in Europe and playing twice a week. Plenty of depth in the squad but the departure of Benatia gives Juve the edge. Allegri or no Allegri Benatia was that good and Astori is a serious downgrade. See how this Greek laddie gets on I suppose. Talk they will sign the football manager legend Balanta before the window closes as well. Would be another cracking prospect on the books if he does sign.

Locky Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 If it was last seasons Inter I'd say yes, think they're a much better team this season though. Inter are my Italian team and tbh I'm massively let down by activity in the transfer market. Still hoping for a big signing or 2 late on though as they've spend ?9.2 million all summer when this new owner is supposedly loaded. Attacking options are fine but Osvaldo is pretty much just a replacement for Milito. With Alvarez set to leave on loan and the departures of Samuel, Cambiasso and Zanetti too, the heart of the team is gone and they may be a bit light in defence. I know they weren't massive players like they once were but they were exactly what was needed on the pitch in the rougher times of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If, as they say, they want Totti to play at it before he retires they will be bursting baws and jaws to get it completed. Upgrades to infrastructure also key to the project so hope that helps things progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
