Serie A 16/17

Klaus

Khedira puts Juve 1-0 up against Napoli after 6 minutes. He just ran through their defence.

Hamsik's goal was brilliant. What a move.

Coombs

Was a proper game of football.

Klaus

Dries Mertens runs straight from the bench to score the easiest chance he'll ever get in the Coppa Italia semifinal:

Napoli won 3-2 eventually. Higuain showed why he's world class with his two goals for Juve.

Apparently after his second goal: Gonzalo Higuain pointed at Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis after the goal saying: "it's your fault"

Damn, stone cold 😆 😆

QuincyAbeyie

Kind of making Higuain look bad when they lost though. 😆

Irishgunner

Juve won on aggregate though so they're through to the final

QuincyAbeyie

Ah, nvm then.

We should try and bring the Belotti guy in. Still only 23, has something special about him.

97th minute equaliser for Milan in the Derby!

Great game. Low on quality but both teams were really going at it and the atmosphere was great.

Klaus

Gotta hand it to Andrea Belotti - 25 goals in 28 games for a club like Torino, in a league where goals are generally hard to score, is pretty incredible. Higuain has picked up the pace now and might well pip him to the golden boot in the end, but I can't remember the last time a 23 year old was this prolific in Serie A. Gilardino?

Klaus, how's your boy Felipe Anderson doing? Could he be someone for us to pick up in the summer?

Just checked, the last 23 year old was Immobile and for Torino too. We know how that went.

Gilardino only had 1 truly prolific season. Going back a bit, Pazzini was the other Italian that was consistently prolific. Doesn't count for much unfortunately in their careers.

Klaus

Immobile never scored 25 goals in a single season (and Belotti still has 6 games left to play; his current gpg average would put him over 30 league goals). There are some key differences between them too. Immobile worked hard but was never really good at anything except finishing. Belotti is a good dribbler with some strong holdup play. If he develops a bit technically over the next few years he could end up similar to Christian Vieri.

Not sure, I haven't seen much of Lazio this season. I think he's got the wrong profile for Arsenal at the moment though. We don't need players who could turn out great - we need players who already are great.

Belotti looks like an absolute superstar. Just an excellent striker all around. What are his weaknesses exactly? Outstanding in the air, powerful dribbler, strong as an ox, amazing awareness (always knows where the ball is, where the goal is, how to get there), uses both feet (even to score), and speaking of scoring, he can't stop doing it.

I don't watch him over 90 minutes that often, but from what I've seen, a good many of his goals come from doggedness and workrate to boot.

He's terrible at penalties! 😆

There's going to big money offers for him and Bernardeschi soon. Also, Patrik Schick is one to look out for.

Clrnc

He's so complete. Best all round defender.

Looks quality, but when was the last time we signed someone from Serie A.

Klaus

That goal from Schick is incredible.
