Inter replace Onana with Sommer. They now need a striker to complete their squad after the whole Lukaku debacle. Balogun seems to be at the top of their list.
Juventus fans made their stance against Lukaku very clear, and yesterday held up a banner reading: we don’t need lukaku we already have a goalie
Amrabat to Juve rumors are heating up. It’s been so long since they’ve made a good transfer that I won’t hold my breath.
Napoli replace Kim with 22 year old Brazilian Natan.

The season kicks off Saturday August 19

So magik, who's winning the Scudetto this year? Are Juve back?

Too tough to call but if I had to make a pick it’d be Inter.

Juventus will be helped by the fact that there is no Europe but most of their success will depend on the performance and health of Chiesa. I can’t imagine they win the whole thing but will bet on top 4

Napoli, Inter, and Juve all off to a great start with Ws this weekend.
Milan currently up 2-0 after 21 mins. Pulisic with a hockey assist and a great goal already

Just watched the highlights but he looks good coming off the right.

Maignan, what a keeper.

Milan derby after the international breat both teams look in good form to start the season. The new additions for milan have hit the ground running especially Pulisic

inter will win darby but i hope lazio or atalanta could be able to fight for title

excited for the Derby as well as Juve-Lazio.
Both Milan clubs have looked unbeatable after three games. Giroud appears to be fit to start, so both teams are at full strength besides Bennacer being out for Milan for another several months.

Lazio started slow with two Ls to bottom table teams but got back on track with a W vs Napoli. You never know what you're going to get from them or Juve these days.

should be two great games.

What a hit from Thuram! What a ball to play in Dumfries!

Game on. Great from Giroud.

Inter's midfield is very good.

Holy moly. I wasn’t able to watch the game. I figured inter may win but 5-1?!?

Chiesa-Vlahovic finally looking like the front pair that we all hoped they’d be. Praying for an injury free season. Juve should challenge for the scudetto considering there is no Europe, but considering how crappy they looked in the draw vs Bologna, they need to keep their feet on the ground.

Shout out also to Lecce who are off to a surprisingly hot start.

Mourinho's Roma looking to finally get their season on track after a dire start. They beat Empoli 7-0 at the weekend.

I look at that squad, and they made some good signings. Renato Sanches, Evan Ndicka, Paredes and Lukaku. Aouar could be a decent signing too, but he's one of those talented luxury players that doesn't seem up for a scrap when push comes to shove, but we'll see if Mourinho can get something out of him.

Yea they did well. When healthy they can compete with anyone, but injuries are their biggest obstacle. Still, even with all these additions I am certain they’ll live and die with Dybala. Whenever he’s out they’ll struggle

Dybala - Lukaku could do wonders for Roma.

Juve look like crap again yesterday. Safe to expect another consistently inconsistent season. #AllegriOut

Inter remain perfect today.

Lecce undefeated as well, sitting happily in 2nd place.

Curious how Napoli will do vs a decent bologna team. Reigning serie A mvp Kvara has been quiet under Rudi G. Another few missed points and #GarciaOut is sure to be trending.

Napoli only manage a draw v Bologna. Pressure on rudi Garcia. Osimhen caused a scene by yelling at him after being substituted in the final minutes. However, Osimhen himself missed a pk that could have been the winner.


After 5 matches, here’s the top 10

Inter 15 points
Milan 12
Lecce 11
Juvents 10
Fiorentina 10
Atalanta 9
Napoli 8
Frosinone 8
Torino 8
Verona 7

Meanwhile Empoli off to worst start ever with zero pts in 5 games.
