Why do I have the feeling Inter might actually be serious title contenders this season?
They've quietly done well in the window, have two wins from two, and just seem like they're well-managed and nicely balanced.
I think, from absolutely nowhere, they might just be the ones to watch out for this season, and not Juve.
Nah
Mancini basically wanted all the creative players out and brought in physical players instead. From a midfield I was envious of just a month ago to this... Ours is probably on a par with theirs now. Selling Kovacic and Hernanes (to a direct rival at that) was just stupid.
Sure they have creative forwards, but you can't rely simply on that. Especially when Jovetic doesn't have a great track record with injuries.
And as x-off pointed out, they have been far from convincing in their opening games. Especially when they had a relatively easy start compared to the other contenders for those places
And I still think Juve will win it in the end. I don't really see any solid competition for them

Oh but he is. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) No one is worth 100m, and even if the few that are, are the types that have a more direct bearing on match results, instead of the usually passive work Pogba puts in as a midfielder. He is a very good player, though, but the fact that some rate him much higher than what he has delivered so far, on potential that is to say, means that he is overrated.
At least right now. If he keeps on improving and imposing himself, then yes, the hype will be justified. And that's what I'm interested in finding out. Point being, you can be really good and overrated at the same time. Or great and underrated.
I'm not even thinking of bringing transfer fees into this. Those have been way over inflated years ago and no player is worth that much, not even Messi imo.
I just don't think he's overrated as a player in the most basic sense here. Like I said, only Verratti comes close to him in that age range and level of talent
