QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 19 2014, 10:31 PM)  Pity about Napoli. They were a mess in the first half, but they made a U-turn in the second and missed plenty of good chances. In Spain it's gonna be tough. Italy might just end up with 2 teams once again. At this rate we're going to slip behind France and Portugal within the next season or 2 |

Both these countries are a fair distance in front of us in terms of club ranking. http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/d.../trank2015.html It's only going to get worse for Serie A. |

So it's happening. Most probably 2 Italian teams in the CL this year.
Napoli with some appalling defending. |

Napoli lacks a lot on the European front, but they have a coach who has done it twice before. Hope they go through, heck we need them through (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Naah. I such defending...really can't get you anywhere. The need a normal CB and a good keeper desperately.

Yet, people on here still say they have a better defence then ours. 2 teams for Italy... It's just one big downward spiral, we'll be lucky if we have 2 CL places in a couple of years' time at this rate |

The league is volatile right now, people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) 20 managerial changes in Serie A last season. Goals, defenses, attacks, forms and qualifications only count after stability. Financial and administrative.

Napoli's defending, no words. I always said their defenders were never better than ours.

You also said Roma's sucked, but here's Benatia with a 15M+ move to Bayern. PS Bilbao could beat any team in Serie A at home with ease. Furthermore Napoli drew the first match in Naples. What I will say is whether it's defending, midfield or attack - Serie A as a whole is just f*ckin' rotten now. It's been surpassed by the likes of France and Portugal completely, and Juve & Roma will get trashed in the CL this season. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Oct 20 2013, 02:10 PM) I wanted us to get Benatia, he's far from mediocre. We get stuck with Mexes and Zapata FFS. QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 20 2013, 02:20 PM) Benatia is Zapata level IMO. QUOTE (han2503 @ Oct 20 2013, 03:06 PM) Benetia? Really? Mexes is a better defender than him and also a better footballer. I wonder why Bayern weren't interested in the chuckle brothers instead? This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Aug 28 2014, 07:50 AM |
