I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread

Serie A reminds me of Bundesliga. It's a race for the 2nd place behind Juve.

Another issue is the competitiveness of the Italian teams in CL.

It's obvious that the financial crisis has affected Serie A.
Or maybe it's because Silvio B. is not allowed to participate any more

I know I haven't been watching too many Serie A games in the last couple of years but that is due to the lack of excitement - Did see a few Napoli, Fiorentina and Lazio games though...the Milan teams are worse than crap thesedays.

So you prefer La Liga, where apart from this year (thanks God) the fight for the title has been between Barca and Real only, for many many years. How exciting is that ?

[Storm]

True, some of the games aren't very exciting but the clasicos make up for it..
Juve winning 3 in a row is?

Not, unless you're a Juve fan, but if you look a statistics, you will find out that until 2010, scudetto have had several differents winners, unlike La Liga

Any players signed / targeted by Juve?

I heard Vital is probably leaving.

Yes, 2004-13 has seen only 2 winners in Spain, but before that Valencia won a couple and even Deportivo won their first ever title..and now Atletico - although that seems like an aberration. But most leagues have had the same winners in recent times - ask ody-mpiakos.

Many Juve players are wanted, especially Vidal, Pogba, Vucinic, and Llorente, however only one of them will leave. As for signing, Juve have many targets, starting from Suarez, Cuadrado, iturbe, and Candreva. We will see, the market will start for real, after WC. For sure, Juve will try the best in order to build a squad, that finally can compete in CL.

Cuadrado -> Barça

Cuadrado -> Barça

Summer dreaming (as ody says) Cuadrado Family doesn't want to leave Italy, especially Florence) so it will be hard for Juve too !
