Serie A Teams

Premier League Teams

West Ham

Debt-ridden and unable to cover for that anytime soon it is set to be a season of despair for West Ham fans. The new arrivals have got quality though.

Wolves

Last season the call was not as close as many had thought. McCarthy got success but having failed to secure valid reinforcements Wolves are missing a few teeth.

Stoke City

The Potters have been a solid lot and in their two years in the Premier League have built a reputation for defensive yet effective football.

Blackpool

Stuck on plans for stadium expansion it does look like Blackpool have all the intentions of making their stay in the Premier League a permanent one.

Wigan

The fans never seem to believe in their team with attendances reaching record low peaks. Whelan’s investment does not look like being ready to give good return.

Bolton

Having come to be known as a fortress under the reign of ‘Big Sam’ Allardyce the fans have lost some of the passion when Megson’s team got swept aside.

Fulham

A rock-solid defence by mid-table standards had helped Fulham to a safe spot early on last season and had even given high hopes of an Europa League finish.

West Bromwich

Despite general lack of trust in the potential of this team from bookmakers all over, the club has sounded convinced that things are much more positive.

Aston Villa

The last time we saw him he was battling accusations of having underachieved with Liverpool. Houllier returns to add some facts along with the 2000/01 treble.

Newcastle

The club’s new policy has allowed for only a few new signings but with Hughton’s excellent man management skills the young team can be the League’s surprise.

Blackburn

Allardyce, notorious lover of the burly English football style, has apparently decided to change in favour of a team that has got goals in it at least on paper.

Sunderland

The days of spending just for the sake of it are finally over and the effervescent Black Cats fans can now get their hopes high for more stability.

Birmingham

For a manager who last year started off being tipped as the one to get the sack first, finishing top of the second tier teams may have felt like revenge.

Tottenham

Still riding the wave of joy that swept the other side of North London in the Champions League as well finally, Spurs have not had enough time to think about...

Everton

Will they taste sweeter than last season’s bitter variation? Once again Everton have failed to live up to expectations despite the pedigree of their coach.

Arsenal

Despite the massive debts Barcelona president Sandro Rosell seems intent on keeping his promise of luring Spanish star midfielder Fabregas to the Nou Camp.

Liverpool

Liverpool have bounced out of the hands of hated American duo Hicks and Gillett into the hands of some other American investors the New England Sports Ventures.

Manchester City

Big spending City have been the club to splash the most cash during the summer transfer window. Star players have joined those already in the City ranks.

Chelsea

After growing tired of demonstrating their supremacy within the English borders Chelsea have been given orders on making the Champions League their priority.

Manchester United

As the old Red Devils adapt to a place out of the spotlights Ferguson keeps looking around for young devils able to live up to the expectations.

Udinese

Club president Pozzo had been rumoured to have moved to acquire Espanyol last season, leaving Udinese in the hands of a new owner in the process.

Sampdoria

The Champions League dream for which the team had worked so hard last year has now vanished as they succumbed to Werder Bremen’s attacking power.

Parma

It will not be easy to repeat last season’s eighth position in the table especially with the choice of Marino as coach and the many new faces included in this year’s team.

Palermo

President Zamparini kept faith to his policy of pricing his assets and then giving them away at the right price, only for new blood to come replace them.

Lecce

The club is hoping that De Canio’s experience in Serie A and his ability to work with youngsters will prove enough to guarantee another chance in Serie A.

Lazio

The club was in need of some reinforcements but president Lotito and his staff were unable to secure important signings such as those of Santa Cruz.

Genoa

The most active club on the market has been Genoa and they had enjoyed the headlines of the major sports newspapers in Italy before Milan crashed their party.

Fiorentina

Having lost out on master mind Prandelli, who moved on to apply his managerial knowledge for the good of the Italian national side, and with Mutu’s suspension...

Chievo

Chievo has been a fairy tale a few seasons ago, climbing to the heights of Serie A and going close to a first ever participation in the illustrious Champions League.

Cesena

Last year Cesena did not win the Serie B for just a point yet they still managed to earn themselves direct qualification to the Italian top flight.

Catania

The Sicilian club is now officially the number one club in the World, outside Argentina, in terms of players from the South American country in their ranks.

Cagliari

Club president Cellino has sought to rebuild a new future for the squad, or perhaps it would be better to say that he is meaning to dismantle the club.

Brescia

Brescia needed to go through the playoffs at the end of the last season in order to gain promotion to Serie A and they may be playing with fire when 2010/11...

Bologna

Just days before the season was set to start the new club president Porcedda has already sacked coach Colomba, to whom last season the team was handed.

Bari

They are quick to wake up on the pitch and their fast counter attacks have proven deadly for many teams last year, being only one of three clubs not to have...

Napoli

De Laurentis’ ambitious project keeps evolving as he made some new investments aimed at taking the club to its former glory.

Juventus

Snubbed by a number of players, general director Marotta has sought to engineer a facelift for the Old Lady focusing more on quantity rather than quality.

Inter

Mourinho has left for a new adventure but the squad he left behind has won all three trophies available last season, a historic achievement in Italian football.

Milan

With trouble looming in his political party Berlusconi has sought to make amends by strengthening his position and Milan at the same time.

Roma

New signings have brought with them a lot of enthusiasm in the Italian capital. Despite still being a step behind Milan and Inter in terms of quality...
