@TheFJEN @MatteMoretto Can’t wait to see De Laurentiis’ offer.

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN €2.5 mil incoming! They can bump up the Martinez offer to a €4 mil whopper now. How could Villa refuse?

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN @Gazzetta_it Acting like RKM and Vicario are going to bring this team to the Champions League is nuts. Success is not a priority and they’re going to need to build goodwill with the fan base after another Europa League finish.

@The_AJC_ @SkySport The coming days…

@Stephans_38 @MySportsUpdate Anyone without nickel poisoning would know that the word is “denomination”.

@ravid_omer Missed opportunity for Silva lining.

@TheFJEN @tuttosport If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Fiorentina might be cooking the books. Guess it’s no longer a punishable offence when the league realizes it’s in the tank.

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@Jfamily3502 It’s okay, though. That pink shirt…

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN I would love to say yes. However, I’m not confident that this team would spend money appropriately at all and would end up spending 80% of that on Kolo Muani.

@JuventinaHannah @IFTVMarco …take a flyer on an 18 year old in a Champions League first round match where qualification for the knockouts means the difference between spending in the summer market or having to sell? Lots need to fall into place for Azzurri success and the coach is the tip of the iceberg.

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@JuventinaHannah @IFTVMarco …is caught between hoping for a Baggio/Del Piero/Totti and trying to produce modern players. Clearly, they can produce decent players (e.g., Azzurrini success). Domestically, clubs are struggling to compete continentally because of financial challenges. What Italian club would..

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN And they all won a Coppa Italia together! Huzzah!

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@JuventinaHannah @IFTVMarco In my opinion, Italy is just struggling with commitment to an identity. I think if a coach comes in, has a clear vision, and everyone buys in, then they can be on track.

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@JuventinaHannah @IFTVMarco I don’t think anyone is going to “fix” calcio or the national team. However, at some point, Italy will need to acknowledge that the game has changed and that the archetypes we love are not relevant right now. The hard-nosed centre back from 20 years ago would be a VAR field day.

@TheFJEN It’s pre-season, common stuff. But at such a young age…

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN Maestros? At what, exactly?

[Maxwell @maccaswell]

@TheFJEN @tuttosport Always an option, never an obligation.
