With just a couple of weeks of the transfer window left and with the opening round of Serie A action to come this weekend, the teams are starting to take shape.
AC Milan have been the busiest of any of the contenders for the Scudetto having sold Sandro Tonali but also having signed eight players including the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor.

based on what?
He saw a vision.
😂😂👍👍👍👍
We can’t say for sure but Milan had a fantastic Summer recruit but it remain how Pioli will blend them to become a team and performance at the highest level to be at the top, cos Napoli sure will struggle a bit due to new Coach, Roma aren’t at the base yet, Inter will have a great stand too cos they did bought good players as well but formation might draw them a little, Juve on their own remain compact no much movement in and out was done, expect them to give a good run to the tittle while Atalanta will need great muscle due to formation too, the front line will need to gel together first through the season before making an impact.
We must, but MUST, win 80 points, at least and take one of 4 first positions.
In next year, keep ali stars in team and bring, 30-40 million central forward, and take more money from new champions league format !!!
Or… Sell every player (except Origi & Krunic), promote all the primaveras and pour the money into Cardinale’s pockets.
Well, thats good option as well.
Combined, if you sell all players, except lords Krunic and Origi, Cardinale can incash, between 1bn- 1,5bn.
Only ours seems accurate. In Inter probably only Dumfries instead of Cuadrado. But Juventus and Roma certainly will not start like this.
Maehle, joined wolfsburg,
Matic also left Roma.
I hadn’t noticed that move but thanks for the headsup.
1 italian starter compared to everyone else who have a good 3+, embarrassing, we have no identity, we have turned into Inter !!
That’s because Italian system promotes the signing of foreign players instead of its own through the growth tax decree…
It’s going to be one of the most even title race ever.
No one is clear favorite based on lineups before the season.
BTW, why is Scamacca in the Atalanta line up and not Inter’s?
Is Samardzic on the bench at Inter?
because Scamacca went to Inter and Samardzic deal with Inter collapsed.
Scamacca went to Atalanta, sorry.
Atlanta where the club that bought him from Westham United
We have got a superb chance of winning the leauge .
Why just look at our squad compared to two seasons ago..in which we won the league and last season champions leauge semi final .
Just be prepared for this Olivier Giroud should be / will be our main centre foward ,,simple reason we haven’t got anyone to replace him ..He is still technically the best man to have in an around the 18 yard area …The team we have now should score lots more goals than the last two seasons …what we badly needed was some extra pace around Olivier ,we have that now with both pulisic addded to rafeol leao ..
We also needed a very strong physical fast skillful midfielder..We have that now with Loftus cheek .He is also capable of scoring goals as is pulisic and of course rafael leao and indeed Olivier Giroud.
So please start believing a little more you fans .
We can challenge for honours again this season .
Forgot about the freindlys ..it will take a few weeks for us to gel together as this is virtually a new team ,and indeed in my opinion a much better one .
And first 10 weeks is hell of schedule for us. Not mentions UCL yet…
Hope we can go smooth with all this new players…
As much as I hate to admit it, I believe it’s between Inter and Napoli.
I find it hard to believe we will be able to engage and get the new signings to work like an well oiled engine instantly
Viktor we can beat both inter and Napoli this year isn’t the year to scared don’t worry we are capable of beating anything from serie a
Erm we beat Napoli three times last season but apparently needed to sign 8 new players to do it again…,
Sorry twice but we got past them in that little competition called the Champions League..
Ac Milan
🔰Forza Malan🔰
Allegri has done a remarkable job bringing through those youth team players.
I was in favour of firing him when he was at Milan but went on to regret when it took 8 years to replace him with a qualified coach
One thing he did do at Milan was bring through youth and do I think we’d still have De Sciglio and Cristante had he stayed and it’d would’ve been interesting to see what he’d done with the next generation of Donnarumma, Gabbia, Calabria, Locatelli and Cutrone!
I see no bracket sign for lord Krunic, so Musah won’t be a starter?
Musah is carrying over a red card from the last match of last season with Valencia
red cards friom other leagues doesnt count in serie a or vice versa.
