So Osimhen and Retegui leave Serie A and Turkey return Dzeko and Amrabat, fucking hell and I thought things were looking up.

Whilst Arsenal are seen as losers for signing Noni , real winners Napoli want to sign playerâs like Noa Lang ffsđ¤Śââď¸
Obviously Napoli has won two titles in the last three years, but if Inter and Juventus get their shit together Iâd assume Napoli is still a club that would finish 3rd through 5th in that League (budget-wise etc.). For that level Noa Lang is a good player.
Writing was on the wall for the league when Inter got more money playing 4 games in a glorified friendly tournament than they did for winning the Serie A lol
The imbalance in football is crazy right now and shows no signs of slowing down

Well as mentioned in an above post when top players are leaving and the clubs are buying failed players in other leagues and oapâs I canât see any outside investment coming to Serie A.
Everyone in Italy knows the first step is for clubs to own their stadium.
As much as ADL gets stick his heart is in the right place when it comes to him wanting to buy the stadium.

How many clubs in Serie A actually own their own ground?
Itâs literally like 4 of them. Maybe 5 at most.

So who owns them? And do they get the gate receipts, or does that go to the owner?
Iâll leave this one to @Jesseviolin I know heâs going to sum it up way better than me
Local councils itâs why they donât want clubs to own them, itâs a money maker.
For example Napoliâs stadium is fucking horrible the stands are miles from the pitch and itâs in a right state.
But the bureaucracy in Naples is what you can imagine it to be and councils need a lot of backhanders to make anything work.
Football is a very important fabric of society in Naples, itâs everywhere but the powers that be are only out to get what they want
Do they have to pay rent too? So the councils will get the rent as well as the gate receipts.
The clubs have to pay rent but they do retain a large proportion of the gate receipts.
I think not too sure if it applies now but in the domestic cup games the gate is shared between both teams playing.
Itâs fucked up really, itâs why you see 4 or 5 shirt sponsors on the strips
De Bruyne scores on his debut
Tough start for Allegri
Very tidy goaL by Hojlund in his first game for Napoli 
Maybe he wasnât the problem after all

Thought he was a top talent at Atalanta but he was nowhere near ready for the move, especially for the fee he eventually went for.
Wouldnât be shocked at all if he rediscovers form after leaving that rotten club.

Yeah. There was some very obvious raw talent in him, but that fee was always crazy for what he offered previoisly and obviously the expectations were too high. Combined with all the mess on the pitch, no wonder it went the wrong way. (RIP Sesko lol)
Wouldnât be surprised at all if he has a brilliant season at Napoli.

He wasnât even really a starter at Atalanta. Zapata was ahead of him. Shouldâve stayed there at least another season.
Awful timing to move.

Seems to me he got a lot of unreasonable hate, given the situation at Man Utd and how many other players did not live up to their potential either. He basically scored every international break as well, so it wasnât likely he wasnât constantly blanking - he just didnât get any service.
Early days at Napoli, but thatâs a very well taken goal and I think heâll prove a lot of people wrong.
