If Napoli can keep their team I think they may be the surprise package in the Champions League next season, They were unlucky to run into Real Madrid at the stage they did this season.

Juve wrapped it up with little fuss of course. Hope they win the EUROPEAN CUP.

Definitely have potential. This Napoli side are super fun to watch.

Deulofeu scored again today, he's been really handy on the few occasion's i've seen Milan. I imagine they will make a move to sign him longterm.

It seems that Barcelona are executing their €12 million option to buy him back.

Still unclear if they plan to keep him, or just sell him for a profit.

Looks like Roma will bring in former Roma player and current Sassuolo manager Eusebio di Francesco to replace Spalletti.

Deserved step up for Di Francesco, if it happens.

Wonder if Inter will battle with us for Salah.

Spaletti seems to be going there, they have Walter Sabatini, who was Roma's technical director and the one who actually brought Salah and Spaletti to the club and the other day Monchi came and put 50 Million Euros as the price for Salah.

Di Francesco loves to play 4-3-3 and while he had a good season with Sassuolo last year, this season, they couldn't cope with the extra European fixtures and had some questionable losses like throwing a 2-0 lead to Sampdoria in the last five minutes and losing 7-0 to Inter.

Inter themselves will be an interesting prospect under Spaletti, they have a lot of good individuals and for a while under Pioli looked like they were closing the gap with the top three but then they dropped off massively afterwards.

Also don't forget that next season's top four teams will go to the CL so there is a chance for Inter & Milan (themselves have already been busy in the market buying the likes of Mussacio, Ricardo Rodriguez and Kessie) to go into the CL.

Perfect example of why Roma will ever win anything of note, the environment there is just toxic and places ridiculous expectations. In the mind of those idiots Spalletti is "guilty" of not consistently playing Totti in the last two seasons. Totti has been a phenomenal player, surely one of the greatest Italian players of all time, but he's been borderline unplayable for at least two or three years now (especially for a side that wants to play at high pace and intensity) and he's been considered bigger than the club itself by the fans for years now. Finally being able to move on and not having him looming while sitting on the bench an still getting the headlines and being the main talking point will be very beneficial for the club.

think their beef is them bottling it in some big games, they beat Napoli and lazio at home like they should have they'd win the title with a win today not seal second.

Understandable subbing Salah that early because he is fasting, but now Roma's pace is gone completely up top and they're just hoofing it to Dzeko.

please, I have my reasons for it but... · « **Reply #459 on:** May 28, 2017, 06:38:31 pm »

And one of these hoofs worked, Strootman hoofs it to Dzeko who controls it in the six yards and squares it to De Rossi who scores it from a pinpoint range.

2-1 Roma.

Dzeko is a quality striker, if he is not scoring he is still involved.

From the Totti jokes book

A journalist asks Totti: "Francesco, your prediction over a possible encounter between America and Iraq."

Totti replies, "Well, I'd say they're two beautiful nations... well-prepared, but as everyone knows, only one can qualify for the World Cup."

Spaletti leaves Roma by mutual consent. He'll likely end up at Inter.

Garrus · « **Reply #479 on:** May 30, 2017, 05:47:45 pm »

It's a move that makes sense for both parties. He's had a fairly decent season with Roma and he should have money to spend at Inter with somewhat reasonable expectations.

Also, amazing survival from Crotone. Don't think anyone, apart from Juve picked up more points than them in the final 8 games of the season.
