The 2015/2016 Calcio Saga II

What is 'Farsopoli'? Some forgotten city of ancient Persia?

Brozovic>Kondogbia

^ Brozovic is our best midfielder , said for months

Brozovic had a legit start at Inter last year, but then he lost a gear and became meh. This year he started meh (also playing out of position) but he's slowly getting back into form. It's gonna be hard to see him play consistently though, Melo is a definite starter, then we have Medel who is a Mancio fav (for a good reason) and also Kondogbia thanks to his price tag. If we keep using 4231 (which Mancini always wanted to use) then Brozovic will not feature as much as he needs to.

Is Kondogbia underperforming or what? Last time I remember he was hailed as the new Pogba.

Is Pogba underperforming or what?  Last time I remember he was rated 100 mln from Juve fans.

Nobody considered him 'worth' the €100m just stop

We're talking about 2015 market prices here and these are numbers quoted by his agent himself.

Indeed yes even on GL in full Pogba hype you could read " Well if Bale costed 100 mln. .... "
Then anyway who never compared Kondogbia to Pogba,  regardless if he is good or not,  they ' re two different players.  Almost like comparing Viera with Yaya Toure. ...

Serie Zzzzz section most happening on GL

Juve will be Juve. Zaza commits the exact same foul in terms of gravity as Molinaro a few minutes after Molinaro gets his second yellow. No foul called for Zaza's second and a red. Zaza scores goal. Don't get me wrong, I hate Molinaro's rough play, but still.

Well Acquah (If I am not mistaking) deserved red as much as Zaza did but... I don't know what the ref was doing in the match tbh.

Back injury since August, gonna be back in Feb

Menez had two back surgeries , first in June , second in August , none of which allowed his back injury to heal properly . They changed doctors and he was apparently doing better in rehabilitation , but he was still in pain and far from ready and supposedly , Feb is where it's at for Menez.

He's also reportedly been taking antibiotics for a time and he hasn't trained that much after his 2nd surgery. Mihajlovic is trying to make a team without him for a while now and even when he comes back free from injury , he will probably be in very poor physical condition to even be considered for starting games , despite probably having an atomic training program in the mean time.

I don't expect to see much from Menez at all this season , even when hopefully all goes well and he's healthy again in February . Maybe later in the season . Imo always , it does not look good for Menez , one way or the other .

Have to say Udinese's stadium looks great except for the multi-colored seats.

Was watching their game against Inter and it felt very un-Serie A-ish in terms of the look of the stadium.I mean watching the league for yrs we're mostly only used to watching old empty stadiums with running tracks.
Udinese's stadium gave a refreshing look while watching it on TV.It dint feel like a Serie A game tbh

^ Same my feeling when I 've watched Udinese-Inter , not seemed to watch Serie A at that moment
Shame it is wasted for a reality as Udinese

While we are at it why Serie A stadiums have dem running tracks

it is because of Italy 90 , when Italy hosted the World Cup.
Carraro gave the order to build these type of stadiums " because the stadium had to be a multipurpose structure "

It just separates the crowd with that meaningless space being in middle. Epl stadiums are best imo in that regards and hence have better atmosphere
