Re: The 2017/18 Calcio Thread: Part 2

Robes, is Inter really playing with a double pivot consisting of Valero and Joao Mario? how does that work?

[rincon]

They are not. That was the first time they did that to rotate players.

Their lineup is a double pivot of Gagliardini and Vecino with the AM position rotating, but mostly being Valero.

[Robespierre]

Rincon responses for me

Simply Vecino was injured and Gagliardini was banned. In Serie A you can't play with a duo so offensive in midfield otherwise

My question for Juve fans :
Do you think Allegri will play with best team in Athens ?
At the end you need of a weird coincidence to be knock out (imagine Sporting to win in Camp Nou)

[rincon]

Yes, 100%. Even if its hard to get knocked out we need a win to be sure and to continue the positive run we've had.

Another thing is that no one knows our best team yet.

You can expect Chiellini, Pjanic, Dybala, Higuain. Most likely also Costa and Cuadrado (Mandzukic is a doubt for the game). The rest are whatever Allegri thinks is more appropriate in terms of style.

I would predict this

Buffon; Chiellini, Benatia, Barzagli; Sandro, Khedira, Pjanic, Cuadrado; Costa, Dybala, Higuain

Then a similar one vs Inter and then rest everyone after that.

[juvealbanian]

I'm pretty sure we'll play our best formation tomorrow.It's a very decisive match we can't lose.Maybe Allegri can rotate a few players if we get the lead ealry.That said Olympiakos will give 100% on this even if they are already out and that means we'll spend lots of energy which gives Inter the favour of beating us in Saturday.
I'm sure we'll lose one of these two matches...most likely vs. Inter...

[McLewis]

I don't consider Roma in the scudetto race honestly at this point. It's between Napoli and Juve.

[Robespierre]

Seriously, I can't still believe to this
One of most insane Serie A days  I remember

[McLewis]

Pretty sure this either has or will make Sportcenter here on ESPN. That's how great of a moment this was.

ffs

I wish he was Italian so I could start the thread

[Luca]

Inter, Napoli, Lazio, Sampdoria all have their BEST start of the Serie A season since 3 points for win ever (2nd best for Juventus, 3rd for Roma).

If Milan didn't go full simple jack, this would be the most incredible season of Serie A in quite some time. Quite ridiculous to think about. Of course this all means the teams in the bottom half of the table have been free wins essentially, but its nice to see. Even teams like Torino, Atalanta, Fiorentina aren't pushovers by any means

[Robespierre]

Has still the job this clown ?

[Warrior]

Sergej = Lazio want 80 millions

Torreria = Samp want 50 millions

[Luca]

Sergej at 80 is a bargain

That's basically Sturaro + 80M, fair deal

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Has still the job this clown ?

There's not a single ounce of intelligence at Sky tbh.

I doubt he's even seen Perisic play for starters and even if it is true it's just unprofessional to say something like that tbh.

[S]

Sounds like a generic United fan

The ones that would have no problem seeing their club splash €60M on the Fellaini's and the likes

[rincon]

Sergej = Lazio want 80 millions

Torreria = Samp want 50 millions

I have a hard time seeing Marotta pay >60m for Sergej. He might just go to the EPL for those prices.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Said this many times but very rarely does a club with their chests puffed out demanding things outside of a transfer window very rarely actually happen in reality.

Most of the time they sell for less.... much less.

Agreed, but Sergej is going to be the subject of much interest. He just signed a contract extension in April so there's no risk of losing him on a free anytime

He's definitely destined for a top team, I can easily see him doing very well in England but I'd prefer to see him at Juve naturally

You'll get Can instead lmao.

I could see it, already predicted that in the Juve section I believe

Two similar profiles, with Sergej better at every aspect of play but Can available for free, we make a habit of being in for these types of signings. They're too economical to pass up

That's where Sturaro comes in useful... a dead project for Juve, but he is a valid argument for Lazio. He might become Parolo's heir at the club.

Sturaro + 60 seems a legit transfer for both sides. Anyhow i don't believe Marotta would have Can't as first choice target, SERGEJ is the real deal. Must go all in, he's the only top player we need.

The world is the same wherever you go tbh , Sky Italy is same. Full of idiots , hard to find competence there

JAKUB JANKTOOOOO

damn good this guy

[Firenze]

anyone here tell me much about Chievo? need to know how much of a threat they are to Milan's 10th place spot, only 1 point behind atm, scary

[Luca]

Sad day for the millions of Juventus Bucharest fans out there. The club was asked by Juventus Torino to change their name and crest. They will be called FC Colentina starting next season and will have a new crest as well.



to



That's much better

[Warrior]

Shit. Shit. Shit. They have the best crest, the crest of my dreams ffs

Juventus crest + Habs colors

I hate our rebranding so much, JJ logo is a shame, so is Allianz Stadium. Even the club's new official font sucks, the U and the V are too similar.
