If Nesta has 3£ value i wonder what Romagnoli is worth Not even 2 pence

They aren't from the same timeline LOL.

[Warrior]

The inflation rate from 2012-2017 was taken into account already. Nesta was relevant until his last season in Milan, if i remember well.

[Luca]

I didn't see that there was a spending limit, I've revised my team:

Peruzzi (2)
Cannavaro (3)
Pirlo (5)
Del Piero (6)
Sheva (4)

Andrea Conti: "I'm from a Juventus-supporting family; I even named my dog after Arturo Vidal. But they now all support me and Milan." (gianlucadimarzio.com)

If he plays well enough, maybe we'll rescue him one day

MDS though>>>>>>

[rincon]

If MDS wasn't >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Conti, I'd say we rescue him too. Maybe in a few years like you say.

Bonucci and Conti though, Milan just trying to get as much Juve DNA as they can

[Luca]

Imagine when they make Conte their manager and add Sturaro and Simo Pepe to play with Conte's son Giaccherini

Top 9 confirmed

Don't forget the beautiful man in my avatar getting his destined 3rd Milan spell.

Didn't forget, part of me believes that he's still on Milan's payroll somewhere so I figured it was implied

Pride comes before the fall

Parma has just closed the sale of 60% ownership to the Desports Group, a Chinese company owned by a guy named Jiang Lizhang. Apparently, this same guy bought Granada from the Pozzo family earlier.

I entirely agree , you are pushing at an open door.
Definitely I'  take Alena Seredova  , she was  one of my teenage dreams ffs

Spoiler:

[Warrior]

So we finally agree on something

[rincon]

The roman derby is tomorrow. HYPE. 4th and 5th on the table, both with 1 game less than the rest.

Lazio has won 9 games in a row. Their only loss was to Napoli where they lost all their defense to injury. Immobile is a doubt but apparently will make it. Felipe Anderson is back, will be on the bench.

Roma has won 5 in a row which include Fiore, Torino and Chelsea. They also only lost to Napoli recently. Nainggolan is a doubt and expected not to start, with Pellegrini in his spot.

Expected lineups:

Alisson; Kolarov, Manolas, Fazio, Florenzi; Strootman, De Rossi, Pellegrini; Perotti, Dzeko, El Shaarawy

Strakosha; Radu, De Vrij, Bastos; Lulic, Parolo, Leiva, Marusic; Sergej, Luis Alberto; Immobile

Lazio scores a ton (3 per game) and Roma defends really well (concedes 0.6 per game). Roma's narrow wins usually because of heavy rotation that keeps everyone fresh. Now with their full team I expect them to win narrowly what should be an awesome game.

Derbies are never fun to watch, they incredibly jammy affairs. Goooooo Roma

[Luca]

Rome derbies are almost always fun to watch, in my opinion. Crazy drama. First one post-Totti which is strange. Both teams are in as good of form as ever and both are managed by former players. Should be good. Shame its at 12:00 but that seems to be the latest we see the Rome derby these days.

Then we get to see Napoli style over Milan, maybe Milan can do us a favour and draw

[rincon]

Was about to say this

Derbies are mostly fantastic to watch. The roman derby is always great. The Genoa-Samp derby is by far one of my favorite games of the season. The Milan derby usually brings unexpected stuff too and they tend to remember during the game that they are supposed to be top teams. Even Juve-Torino is great to watch again.

I don't give Milan any chance of anything at the San Paolo tbh.

Roman derby HYPE

That Roma defense

Immobile 1-0
