Roma brought in Destro, Nicola Lopez, Dodo, Balzaretti
Merda brought in Marigia, Silvestre, Benassi, Mudingayi
Fiorentina brought in Viviano, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Aquilani and Della Rocca
Juve and Lazio have squads that will only improve in time
Even without Lavezzi, Napoli still look like a force to be rekoned with.
How many points did we take off of the above teams last season with our Old Guard and Superstars present?
Lazio (1 Loss, 1 Draw - Ibra and Cassano goal)
Napoli (1 Loss, 1 Draw - T. Silva Clean Sheet)
Fiorentina (1 Loss, 1 Draw - T. Silva Clean Sheet)
Juve (1 Loss, 1 Draw)
Merda (2 Losses)
Roma (2 wins - 2-1 and 3-2 with Ibra scoring a brace in both matches)
10 Points out of a total 36 up for grabs.
How many do you think we can get from them with our depleted squad this coming season?
We threw out Zambrotta, Seedorf, Nesta, Gattuso, Van Bommel, Inzaghi, Merkel, Aquilani, T. Silva, Ibrahimovic. 10 Quality players shipped out.
We brought in Traore, Montolivo, Constant, Acerbi, Zapata, and brought back Vila (who, still, by the way has no squad number). Of the above, only Monty has truly impressed.
One (maybe two with Zapata) quality signing to make up for the loss of 10?
A host of n'er do wells in Bone(head)ra, Mexes, Antonini, Mess-BAH, an overage Yepes in defense.
A major drop in already lacking quality in midfield on the bench (Still consider Monty,Noce,Prince a decent starting lineup)
An injury prone Star (Pato), a striker who's unhappy with the squad (Cassano), a striker who needs 1000000 chances to score one single goal (Binho), and a young up and coming striker who is easily pushed off the ball (SES).
Yes, I totally see us competing in Serie A this season
We got the young 'un's. We take out big gunz
