Summer’s Over? Already?:
The summer for the boys is technically over at midnight tonight and they head to Trigoria for yet another awkward and tumultuous pre-season, thanks to our very own Romanian defender extraordinaire, He Who Shall Not Be Named (abbr. to HWSNBN). In case you missed Luciano Spalletti’s interview with Sky Sports yesterday, here it [...]
The Predictions (Cue Melodramatic Music)

After all that here’s how I think the summer will play out. If you still value my opinion enough to read this, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not really sure I value it much anymore.

Next year they will take part in the Champions League group stage and defend their Coppa Italia championship, as well as undoubtedly compete for their fourth Scudetto.
