Treviso have changed the whole team, that's whyDeano said:On the other hand, Treviso could prove the other way.

There be something really wrong with Italian football then. :dazed:
But I agree ToniSamp. Great Posts. :thumbsup:
what im saying is 10 years ago a team like Siena had no chance of beating Juventus. It was laughable. Now we see Messina holding them to a draw, where Milan are closing down on them. I don't doubt there is a massive gap between the big three and the rest, but i believe the middle ground (ie. Udinese, Fiorentina, Parma, Roma, Lazio) has become all the more competitive with the inclusions of Palermo and Chievo worthy of respect. Suddenly, these middle teams are producing more and more talent and this talent is representing the NT.ToniSamp said:Chances of upsets increased??? Jah, you are kidding. This is the total table of the last three seasons:
Luca left Palermo because he was sold. Zampa said he was over the hill and might as well cash in on him. After knocking in 50 goals in two seasons and your club accepting a 7mil bid, i'd be leaving too. Magic word here: Retard. Zamparini is one. His words are probably going to send Carraciolo and Grosso north.ToniSamp said:And Jah, beware of the optimism, Udinese one year ago were where you; Fiorentina, are now. While one year ago you were where Udinese are now. And the magic word is: European competitions. The teams participating in them suffer, above all those who are out of the top3, but even them. And hope that Luca Toni won't leave Fiorentina for one of three big... which is possible if Luca Toni decides that Fiorentina are not enough for him (he left Palermo where he was considered a sort of king by the supporters).
IMO Fiorentina and Roma are working hard to get into the big three club. Theyre moving well and with amazing coaches and backing, they can do it.ToniSamp said:Of course Fiorentina are different from Udinese. Even if Fiorentina did not participate in all the last three seasons of serie A I could easily put them on the same level of Roma in the table I made before and surely not on the level of Udinese (or Sampdoria, Lazio, Parma, Palermo etc.).
As regards Luca Toni: in moderm football you must always consider the wishes of the players. If a player wants to leave a club then he will leave that club no matter whether the club wants to keep him. Juve, Milan and Inter are (unfortunately) the dream of any Italian pro player... stronger for those who are more or less 30 years old.
Nonsense. If anything the middle ground has been destroyed. 5 or 6 years ago every season you knew at least 6 clubs had a chance of the championship. In 1999 Juve finished 7th, Inter 8th - two years earlier Milan 11th, and only six points away from relegation a year after winning the scudetto. Impossible now, Inter aren't much better than that time and yet are easily going to finish 3rd.what im saying is 10 years ago a team like Siena had no chance of beating Juventus. It was laughable.
