Chelsea play nothing like Napoli and the league is tougher.


Not for strikers to score in at all. Serie A is known for well organized defenses down through the bottom of the table and you hear every striker who comes from other leagues comment on the lack of time and space afforded on the ball in the general style.

Quality strikers almost always score less in Serie A than anywhere else.


Furthermore, EPL is stronger than Serie A due to the heft in the top 6 or so that sign all the Foreign stars. After that, it's pretty even with the bottom of the table teams filled with Italian and Argentine squad players in Serie A probably being stronger than those in the EPL filled with mainly English players.

I don't think Cavani's going anywhere this year unless Chelsea pay an absolute king's ransom so you may well argue he's not worth the tag De Laurentiis puts on him.

However, he's also been a true big game player for Napoli and his goals are as often ones like for the 1-1 draw at Man City as they've come from hat tricks against bottom dwellers. . .

I think we should make a new rule. No more arguments, just transfer posts. I apologize for my role in this shite show thread.

Agreed, although I was involved in most.

This is so true. He must be going for silverware. He has knot realize his slim chances of sold playing time

BEPPE MAROTTA (Juve boss) on Fernando Llorente.

'We're negotiating, but Athletic doesn't want to sell'.

Oh, how sweet that would be!

Cazorla looked awesome in the first half vs. Cologne btw. Really looking forward to watching him pull the strings for us this year.

I told y'all. I like him more than Mata and Silva (he is more 'revolutionary').

Bilbao scheduled a presser for tomorrow. They are rumored to be announcing one, both or neither of the following: llorente to to juve; javi Martinez to bayern. Apparently bayern and Bilbao have agreed to a 33mm transfer fee and his signing will be announced this week (maybe tomorrow)

Llorente's going nowhere for that money, I can tell you that right now.

JM, if Bayern is in the 30+ range, should go.

Tello, Afellay in the mix to drive the cash outlay for Song down?

That's what is being bandied about.

I don't think there is much going for Song in terms of fan support (Barcelona fans seem to be divided, and the prevailing opinion is slightly north of 'meh').
