Roma are solidly the second / third best team in Italy but there is a gulf between them and Juve. They haven't won the league in 16 years.

Is 'Italy's biggest club' between Juventus and AC Milan?
With Inter somewhere below them ... and Roma below that?
― the pinefox, Monday, 29 May 2017 08:41 (six years ago) link
Will always be AC tho rly

Perché ?
― the pinefox, Monday, 29 May 2017 08:46 (six years ago) link
Probably but this is Big Clubbism gone mad when you consider the two Milan clubs are in decline (much like one or two World's Biggest Clubs I could make). Roma are much closer to winning the league than they are right now.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 May 2017 08:48 (six years ago) link
re AC the biggest:
I was going to say, cos Turin is like eg Swindon?, but looked up population and in fact it's vastly bigger than most English cities including Manchester.
― the pinefox, Monday, 29 May 2017 08:49 (six years ago) link
As is Verona. Crikey!

It's a personal impression based on being, well, impressionable during the early 90s.
In fact if I were comparable to any one player I like to think I've got a knack for the Papin volley

Roma seem to me the 4th biggest club.

Juve have always been the biggest club within Italy
Even if both Milan clubs have done better in Europe

I mean I don't really be able to look at other teams and whatnot now but is Jesus Navas on a free at 31 not pretty tempting

“Hart made a few mistakes, especially when coming out for the ball,” Cairo said. “He is an important goalkeeper. We probably didn’t expect so many mistakes from an England international… but he did some good things, too.”

Same. How would that work? In his first year without Zlatan at PSG, Cavani has had a great season (49 goals in 50 games!). Auba would be of value to any top club, but I'd say PSG prob need him the least.

Discussing his situation, Nolito revealed he has struggled to learn English during his one year at the Etihad Stadium and claimed his daughter’s face was a different colour now than it was when he arrived due to the cold conditions in the country.“I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard. Just ‘tomorrow’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’ and a little more,” he told Onda Cero. “My daughter’s face has changed colour – it looks like she’s been living in a cave.”

Really bad situation, I dunno if the hype about VVD is merited but he seems better than taking a punt on whoever the fuck else we have lined up. Assume Liverpool had to make that statement to avoid getting formally reported or something.
