ATALANTA: Big problem before the beginning of the season: Atalanta will start with an handicap of 6 points for the scandal called ''Scommessopoli'', that caused for captain Doni to stay away from the field for 3 years. The team isn't bad, they had some new good players as Lucchini, Masiello, Denis and Morales, which is really interesting. Strong at home, difficult season also for this handicap. Candidate to return in Serie B.
BOLOGNA: Always a strange situation in Bologna. Society isn't so strong economically, so Bologna lost players key players as Viviano and Britos, added to Ekdal and Moras (good players too). Fortunatly for the team there were good new players as Gillet as goalkeeper, Antonnson, Acquafresca, Diamanti and a new trainer as Bisoli, which was born near Bologna. Now the problem is Ramirez: young talent, he want to go to a more important team, but Bologna needs 15mln to sell him. Since now no one offered it, player is really sad and didn't play in Coppa Italia..If he'll stay, Bologna will have a very good player and can play a good season in the middle of the ranking.
CAGLIARI: Trainer Donadoni was kicked out before the first official match in Italian Cup, and it was a big surprise. He didn't appreciate the ''transfert market'' of Cagliari, which lost Lazzari and Acquafresca and bought only 2 interesting players as El Kabir and Ibarbo. Now they have also Ekdal and Thaigo Ribeiro, so team is ok. As usual, I expect a season without problems for them, with new trainer Ficcadenti (last season at Cesena) and with good results at home.
CATANIA: WIll Maxi Lopez stay or not???? Key question for the team. Since now lost SIlvestre (key player in defense) and Carboni, and bought Suazo and, as usual, players from Argentina. Montella as trainer is a very risk decision. Massimino is a stadium where is always difficult to win on, but Catania not impress me and can really have a lot of problems during this season.
CESENA: Big surprise of the summer, not for the matches but for the new arrivals. Mutu, Eder, Comotto, Candreva, Rodriguez...Team is really better than last year, unless they'll probably lose Giaccherini and is in doubt Parolo, best player of the team. Mutu can be a crack or a big problem, all depends on him. Also lost Jimenez, really important last year. Bookmakers will consider Cesena a middle-position team, for me they'll fight in the relegation zone. New trainer is Giampaolo instead of Ficcadenti. Big news is that they'll play in a sintethic field at home.
CHIEVO: Bad work during this summer. Lost Constant, Marcolini, Mantovani and 90% goalkeeper Sorrentino (repleaced by Puggioni, good one in Serie B), new arrivals are surprise or come from a not so good season (as Paloschi, striker). The trainer is Di Carlo, that already coached the team so know well the situation. Really difficult season in my opinion for Chievo.
FIORENTINA: Another team that really decrease. Out Mutu, D'agostino, Donadel, Santana, Comotto, Frey and probably Montolivo (captain) and Gilardino (to Genoa). If they'll lost this 2 players too, it'll be a disaster, without considering the pending situation of Vargas. New arrivals are worst, Mihajlovic is still the trainer but Florence hate him because Fiorentina last year never show a good football. Fans are really hungry, quite impossible to see Fiorentina in EL.
GENOA: As usual, President Preziosi made an amazing work during the summer. A lot of players in and out, they're still looking for a striker (Gilardino or Amauri), they solved the problem of gk (Frey instead of Eduardo) and Malesani is the trainer, from Bologna. The biggest lost is Criscito to Zenit for 15mln, but Genoa have a large number of players and can think about Europe.
INTER: The end of a cycle. Eto'o today will sign his contract with Anzhi (20 mln every year for him!) and Inter will lost an amazing player. Zarate, Forlan, Tevez are name for the substition, but Inter don't want to spend money so they're looking for a temporary transfert. New trainer is Gasperini, last choice after the name of Capello, Hiddink and more. A year where Inter can't fight against Milan and where President Moratti will not spend money, as he did in the previous year.
JUVENTUS: The opposite of Inter. They spend a lot of euros, to have players as Vidal, Vucinic, Liechsteiner, but also had Pirlo and Ziegler and Giaccherini is really near. New trainer is Conte, who played a lot of years in the team as midfielder. Stronger than Inter, but not as Milan, they'll fight for CL and have a lot of chance to grab it.
LAZIO: Very good job. Klose, Cissè, Konko, Marchetti are all good players, 6 goals in the first match in EL and a lot of entusiasm in Rome. Good team, stronger than last year, can also think about CL.
LECCE: I really see them on Serie B. Julio Sergio is a good gk, ok Strasser and the return of Esposito, but the team is poor and, in my opinion, last year they made a miracle to stay in the league. This year new trainer is Di Francesco: after a positive season at Pescara, he has the chance to coach in Serie A for the first time.
MILAN: Simply the stronger team. They've already show it last year, but this year have Mexes, Taiwo and probably Aquilani in the team. Pirlo says goodbye to Milan, that will probably search another midfielder because Flamini is injuried and he can need a lot of months to recover.
NAPOLI: Fernandez, Dzemaili, Britos, Chavez, Donadel, Santana, Inler in and no good players out. It's the season of the confirmation for Naples, that will also play in CL after the amazing season of last year. Cavani, Hamsik and Lavezzi stayed here, so the team have a wonderful attack and can think about another qualification in CL. The dream is the winning of the title, but it will be difficult.
NOVARA: After 59 years back in Serie A. They plays in a sinthetic field, and also last years made it, so it can be a good advantage at Piola's stadium. Team isn't so strong, they lost 2 key strikers as Gonzalez and Bertani, but they'll play with joy and without nothing to lose. For sure in the relegation zone.
PALERMO: Out Pastore and Sirigu to Psg (with a big price), probably out captain Bovo, Palermo isn't good as last year. Already out to EL (they've lost against Thun in the qualification after 2 draws), fans are worried. Today Balotelli says that he'll like to play in Palermo, but is impossible to see him on the ''Barbera stadium''. Probably a transiction season in the middle of the ranking. Trainer is Pioli from Chievo.
PARMA: Another team good for the relegation zone. For ''economic fair-play'', president Ghirardi spend few money than lost years. Giovinco stay in the team and it's a good news for them, but the strikers of the team are young and I don't know what they can do in Serie A (except the old Crespo), team isn't so good so I expect to see them in the bottom of the ranking.
ROMA: Luis Enrique as new trainer, Di Benedetto as new president. Big news but a bad start of the season. Totti had an argument with trainer, also the team lost at Bratislava against a worst team. Mexes, Riise and Vucinic are gone; Bojan, Lamela and Stekelenburg are in, as another striker between Osvaldo or Nilmar. For me the problem of Rome isn't in attack, they have a bad defense and midfielders are not so good or without motivation (as Pizarro). I predict an hard season for them, they can catch EL but isn't what they want.
SIENA: New comers from Serie B. Not a so good team, some good new arrivals (D'agostino, Angella, Mannini, Contini) but i'm not convinced. Team for me is too poor, will fight for sure in the relegation zone.
UDINESE: Big chance tomorrow against Arsenal, but the team lost 3 key players during this summer: Zapata, Inler and Sanchez. Not important replacement, as tradition of Udinese new players are young and motivated but no-one really know their abilities. Repeat the last season is impossible. Let's see the match of tomorrow.
