Sarriball sucks

Said it when you guys appointed him

This team has the squad to be not only the champions of Italy but also Europe but appointing Sarri was a shot in the foot. Not only he has a god awful track record for a guy who has been managing since 1990 (2 titles in 30 years), he is completely inept on a personal level in dealing with big personalities. A complete beta, unworthy of the Old Lady.

Actually, Sarri was hired because of his excellent track record, all of his teams have racked up points. And he managed the Ronaldo situation perfectly. he's happy and scoring goals again

Ramsey doesn't have the legs to play CM and he doesn't know how to defend if played behind the strikers, which will always be two of Ronaldo, Higuain and Dybala, not exactly prototypes of hard-working, ball pressing strikers

La Republicca reporting Bernard Arnault (owner of LVMH, third richest man in the world) made a 975 million euro bid for us.

is that Salma Hayek's husband?

Nah, she's married to Francois-Henri Pinault. This guy is different.

According to Forbes, Arnault is worth $111 Billion. That's 3 times as rich as Pinault and nearly 50 times as rich as Dan Friedkin, who is about to buy Roma from Palotta.

ahh right.
I just remembered that she's married to a French billionaire who heads some luxury brand consortium

In the meantime, Mandzukic has moved to some club in Qatar, same one where Benatia is. Happy to be rid of this classless scrub

Shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a Juve fan if you call Mandzukic a classless scrub.

Outstanding player and professional that gave everything for Juve and delivered every time. Best of luck to him. Excellent player and model professional that never complained once even when he was ruled out of the team plans.

agree
He deserved a better treatment, surely one of best player to have played for Juve in last 10 years

Had we not gotten Dzeko, I could've seen us getting Mandzukic. Similar mold of player though I consider him a bit more athletic than Edin.

He's good at using his big frame to impose himself on defenders and play those mind games, but I never considered it classless. It's part of the job.

I still remember that bicycle kick in the CL. One of the best goals I've seen at that stage of the comp.

Mandzukic is one of the best target man strikers I've seen. Absolute clutch player too, man scored in two CL finals, the winner in a World Cup semi, and also managed to score in the World Cup final.

Very true. Very underrated player. Also, he has apparently freak natural stamina, allowing him to heckle defenders for 90 minutes straight, and extra time if need be.
Haven't seen him at Jjuve, so I don't know if he's physically finished but I would be surprised if he was.


No idea why no club from the top leagues had a successful offer for him.

Ok, I just gotta ask, what makes Mandzukic classless @adun101? Maybe you have a different perspective.

9th win in a row for Lazio. 3 behind Juve and Inter.

No one noticed?

And I am glad you did RG.

Lazio and Inzaghi for the most part suit one another. Tend to dominate games in the Europa League yet somehow manage to crash out and choke in the final stages. Perform the same in Serie A but concede against minnows more than they should and then of course mount an impressive challenge to Juventus almost each time they face them.

Immobile has been carrying them this season until recently post EL knockout where other squad members finally are stepping up along with Luis Alberto who's been their finest creative influence this season.

Lotito being the cheapskate he is won't exactly reinforce in the market despite Lazio having their notoriously thin depth and as a result this will have them fail in the latter stages yet again for obvious reason, as I see it.

Inzaghi tactically is very very impressive but like the team he has a regressive mentality when it matters though shows improvement each season.

PSG wanted him in August ( they 've signed Icardi after his refusal) , Juve agree with it, but Mandzukic had refused PSG because he wanted to stay in Juve.
After it, Juve has exiliated him for 4 months until separation in this January

Is it a national holiday in Italy today?

Afternoon games?
