I couldn't care less about which coach other teams will get. We have Inzaghi, who is more complete than every other Italian coach including Conte and Ancelotti, at the moment at least.

I kind of agree with this. With Inzaghi in charge here and the current management supporting him, we'll always have a chance to win it all. More competent coaches as opponents will also push him even further.

Maybe an unpopular oppinion but i prefer to see Motta at Juve instead Milan. Hate both teams but my hate for Milan is bigger at the moment. And Motta going to the city rival team makes me more angry. Juve needs to rebuild, so i don't really care for now. Motta at Milan could improve them a lot.

I prefer Motta not coaching Juve. They were our main competitor for the title this season until we shot them down in February. Milan are morons and have a lot to fix.

I also don't want Motta in Jube. They have not so bad players as some people think, and with a coach who can squeeze the maximum of them, they could be good.

I wouldn't want to be in juve or milan skin at all this year, even if they get the likes of motta, de zerbi or whoever is in the hype now, it's the huge fuckin step up for them to make. Inzaghi with all his talent that he is showing right now and the talent he showed from the day one almost got sacked cos demands were simply too much at certain points.

The leaky defense he had in lazio he transferred to his first two years with inter, and suddenly the stuff that was acceptable in a team like lazio, where lotito was probably only asking for cl places, was not good enough to win you titles with a team like inter. Those are all adjustments coaches like motta or de zerbi will have to make imo. I really doubt they can already be good enough coming from environments like brighton, spezia, sassuolo or bologna.

Juve was lucky, a lot of games were won at the 90. They have a good defence but thats all, they need a lot to do. Milan had bad months, the coach is mediocre and the defence needs some upgrade, also a striker. Add to them 2-3 good players, a good coach, and they are much better. A lot of players can make the diffrence there. Loftus, Leao, Theo, Pulisic.

Motta at Juve would be more dangerous imo. Elkann is pissed off at Allegri and he will splash it in the summer with UCL and CWC qualification. Also they can sell their youngster Soule, Huijsen for 60M€ get Koopmeiners.

If they get Calafiori, Koopmeiners and Motta they will rise. Obv there's pressure @Juvee, their management won't like draws, they will say oh " lets give him time " , but they want the title especially if they spend over 100M€ for Motta.

Milan financial situation is better. I don't see Juve spending much as long they dont sell Vhlaovic and Soule for a good price.

Yeah, but the problem milan has is their money goes to reijnders and musahs of the world. It's almost impossible to win something if you only rely on young players that showed promise in lesser leagues, and if i m not mistaken, their whole mercato last year was based on those types. You simply have to bring experienced players like, darmian, pavard, acerbi etc... if you want to create a winning team in all fronts.

Juve doesn't have that imperative and fixation on young and mostly unproven talent and that's why they are more dangerous imo.

I'm quite confident that we'll win next season's Scudetto as well. Inzaghi is going to have reinforcements, while not selling any of our key players, while our rivals have serious issues in coaching department but also in management as well. Not sure they can get themselves into a position of wining Scudetto right away. New projects will require time and effort though.

Too early to tell all that.

I do wish that we go 3 in a row and be competitive in the Champions League as well, but there is a lot of time that can still define our near future.

It's really important to remember that our injury luck this season was pretty fortunate, all things considered. What were our biggest injuries? Pavard missed a couple months at the end of 2023, granted. Did we have any other long-ish term injuries besides that? Lautaro missed a couple games in December, Acerbi and De Vrij had short-term injuries at different times, Bastoni missed a couple games (incl. the away Juve game) but that was about it. Thuram was out for a few weeks in February, but compared to elsewhere across Europe, we were very fortunate. Look at Barcelona or Bayern's injuries this season, or look at Madrid having three torn ACLs and missing Vini for stretches two separate times. We've had nothing of that sort. We're really fortunate given that this isn't a deep squad and Inzaghi didn't rotate a whole lot in league play throughout the season.

We got through this season, runaway Scudetto winners, zero fucks left to give as it pertains to this year, but we really need adequate depth in midfield and in attack. And I'm not considering Zielinski alone to be proof of "job done" for the midfield, and Taremi...lol. I'd rather keep Alexis than have him, but obviously that ship is leaving port as we speak.

Apparantly Lopetegui is on Bayern Munich's radar, which is bad news for Inter as we won't be be able to 'enjoy' him in beelan.

Disagree, they are. See Miretti, Faggioli, Yldiz, Weah... a lot of times i see this kind off players on the field and even if they keep playing shit they stil get considered a lot by Allegri. Personally i would prefer to loan them out, at least 3-4 of them.

Bologna has Napoli Juve and Genoa. The battle for fourth and fifth is still open. I think they need at least 4-5 points to secure top 5 considering that Atalanta has 2 games less. Luckly for them, there is also Atalanta-Roma so one or both of them will lose points.

Conceicao on the rumor mill now. This is a coach I would actually not enjoy to see there. He is one tough mofo to deal with.
