Milan- Gilardino, Jankulovski, Vieri, etc Juve- Viera, etc Inter- Figo, Solari, Samuel, Pizarro, etc Discuss!
Milan did well to get Gilardino and Janukolvski. But Vogel is going to fail badly in Serie A, and I have doubts about Vieri. They seem undisturbed by their aging defense though; I can't figure it out. The young player that I LOVE is called Marzorati and I imagine he'll be a regular in a few years time. Meantime that defense is creaking w/ age.
to me the team that improved the most was inter....pizarro's a top creator in the middle and Samuel a big upgrade in the center of defense.
Bah, Milan/Inter/Juve had great teams last season and they'll have great teams this season, no big story there. I'm a little biased, but I think Fiorentina improved their quality quite a bit with Frey, Toni, Fiore, Brocchi, and Pancaro. They might not yet be at the level of the top 3 teams, but I think you'll see a dramatic improvement over last season.
Lest we forget about Roma Taddei Kuffour Nonda Bovo possibly Brighi-Esposito-Miccoli-Marchegiani-Lima if Roma could get at least 2 or 3 of those players listed then they would prob have the most impressive off-season Other than that I think that Fiorentina had a great Off-season a long with Juve and Milan, Inter do the same garbage every year
fiorentina had a great off season? they lost miccoli, Marseca, Chiellini and obodo for basically nothing. they had alot to make up for before they got frey, toni and those guys. inter, milan and Juventus didnt lose anything. theres a huge difference there. my vote goes to inter. if the wall gets back his old form, they will be very hard to beat this season.
This article by Giorgio Tosatti of Corriere della Sera is right up this thread's alley. I don't always agree with everything he says, but he is recognized as one of the greatest analysts in Italian soccer. According to him, Milan had the best summer, followed by Inter, Juve, Fiorentina, and Sampdoria.
I was just going to mention Sampdoria because they've added quite a bit of talent and depth while their biggest "loss" was Simone Inzaghi. Sampdoria is unique among the teams being discussed here, in that their roster is almost entirely Italian - Kutuzov and Edusei are the only foreigners.
