Napoli can't spend like Juve simply because Napoli doesn't have the revenue that Juve can generate and ADL's personal fortune is in no way comparable to the Agnelli family. What he can do is re-invest over time to build a stadium and better facilities for the club but year after year all he does is talk.
All indications suggest that the two players that will leave in summer are Allan and Mertens. Hamsik 20M Rog 20M Inglese 20M Mertens 20M Allan 80M We will have 160M Goal and defense won’t be touched. My guess is we will buy Fornals and Barella for 80M and maybe Lozano and a striker?
Roma trying to get Sarri. That would be horrible for us. They would easily finish above us if that happens.
I don't fear Sarri. He abandoned us and he is losing it again.What a choker If we can't make it for the first spot i don't care about being 2nd or 3rd.Let Sarri take it.He will lose against Don Carlo when it matters
Too many problems in Roma, DI Francesco isn't the problem with that team. Sarri would do better in Serie A with them but worse in the UCL. I rate Di Francesco.
Fornals scored and looked good today against Sporting. The kid has loads of talent but isn't great defensively. He'd be a good replacement for Hamsik.
I doubt. Napoli was his peak. Besides, Roma has shit owners like us who never invest, probably worst. I lost count how many good players they have sold and not replaced properly. We won't win Serie A either. The best we can manage is #2. I blame ADL and the Italian FGIC. One way or another Juve will get good calls. Also to blame is the team's collective choker mentality. I will prefer we go far in UCL. Or at least win the Europa League this season. It's a Mini-trophy to be honest but something that can be realistically achieved and also we need something for the team to cheer for and boast spirits for next season. Our last trophy was a Copa and that was years ago.
Our trophy cabinet is pretty much level with Roma. They have 1 more scudetto (if you're counting winning in 1941) and 4 more Coppa Italias but we've won the UEFA Cup when it was actually a bigger deal than this shit show Europa League. Adding another European trophy wouldn't hurt.
We have to buy Icardi. I have never been a fan of the person but we have to get him. In goal we are good. Our defense is going to be very strong if Ghoulam finds his form. Malcuit is amazing and Hysaj can play on both sides. Mario Rui is great against weak teams. With Chiriches back we should sell Albiol and make some money. In midfield it is critical to keep Allan. We need to buy Fornals as Rog and Hamsik are gone. Sell: Hamsik 20M Rog 22M Mertens 25M Albiol 5M Younes 10M Inglese 20M Tonelli 8M Grassi 10M Sepe 5M TOTAL 125M Buy Icardi 110M Fornals 30M TOTAL 140M Insigne/Ounas - ICARDI/Milik Zielinski/Verdi - Fabian/FORNALS - Allan/Diawara - Callejon/Ounas Ghoulam/Rui - Koulibali/Luperto - Maksimovic/Chiriches - Malcuit/Hysaj Meret/Ospina/Karnezis
TBH I wouldn't be surprised if we can get 15mil MIN. Atalanta, Roma and Lazio are interested if they sell their strikers.
Icardi is a good striker, but more or less a poacher and not much of an upgrade over Milik. He does have a good shot conversion ratio. But.. and that's a HUGE BUT... that wife / agent of his is toxic. Last thing we want is to sacrifice squad harmony and additional soap opera to bring in this guy.
On other transfer news, it will be lovely if we can sign Isco. https://app.football-italia.net/#article/footballitalia-135218&menu=news-all
We can get Icardi because I'm sure Areks dick is bigger than his so Jessica won't choose him. But who will ******** Wanda?
