Investing in young players is not easy, I think some teams are worried about excessive team spending and time because developing young players will always take long time and of course in some season these players will definitely not be able to make big contribution to the team.
Maybe can take young players who have clear potential for good playing skills, but this has to be with great support because young players whose potential is already visible will have high price and I think all of this is the reason some team are not so brave enough to invest in players young.
It can be seen that Serie A used to be the birthplace of many football stars and they were all players who developed here, but now everything has changed, almost all team from various big leagues are starting to look at and take over potential young players.

Talking about De Gregorio with Juventus, this is actually not that interesting because basically Juventus doesn't really need De Gregorio, I would be much happier if Juventus could bring in young players in midfielder or striker positions.
That way there will be far more dominant benefits for Juventus.

Italy has a lot of talent, I think they have to go back to the basics, go for those players who are on the streets, in the clubs, who are being trained, the children, the young people, right now in Brazil there is a big concern about that, because they say that Children and young people are not interested in football, because they only want to be on a phone, I think that has affected not only Brazil, I think in Italy and in many places in the world, Italy for me is a school where you always learn about football, they still maintain their strong point which is the Italian defense, but they have to work on offensive football, there are offensive players, but they have to bring them and focus them on scoring goals, it is as basic as that.

Very true, we haven't invested in young people and unfortunately this has been our biggest fault.
We should all follow the example of Atalanta which has truly trained many young players over the years and has also sold many of them, a team to be admired from this point of view.
In fact, I'm happy that Juventus bought De Gregorio.

In my opinion, in full and total honesty, they won't do much next season either, in my opinion they are aiming to play as many games as possible in the Champions League in order to make money.
I know I'm a little mean and a little cynical, but without money to spend they can't make big investments, in my opinion, managing to break even.
Let's remember that teams today are like companies.

Yep. Juventus might struggle again this season to win the Scudetto and this is because they don't have young talents anymore and I really don't know if they have the budget to make big transfers during this summer and this might hurt them because the other top 4 teams do have budget for transfers but also have young talents within their squads. Personally I really hope Lazio can finally win Serie A and make a lot of fans happy not only in italy but across the world as well. 

Unfortunately we have not invested in young people and as a result we find ourselves in this terrible situation.  We don't have talents and we don't develop them, talents need to grow.
Talents need to play, make mistakes and gain experience.
There are no immediate solutions.

We didn't attack because we don't have bases to base our attacks on.  In fact, the Italian system of playing football is a stratified system, if you like.
You need a good defense first.  Then you need a good midfield.  Finally, we need good attackers.  In short, you need a whole team.
We can't play football based on quick robberies managed by 1 good guy and a mediocre team.

I didn't really watch it, besides not having time it didn't inspire me at all
I looked at the summaries, those were really fun to watch especially the Italian ones (really funny)
and I have to say that this European championship is truly disappointing
I saved time!

At least what we have left is to look at the European.  I look at it with hope, hope of finding some young champion who will then end up playing for my Juventus.
Clearly there are those who do it for a living, but consider that I also see something interesting.  He would make me proud of my talent.

I agree with what you say, because here they showed a clearly Italian style of football, I can't deny that Italian football is always very good , interesting and always offers many things, but I think that Italy was also unlucky and did not have the best of its performances , I think that Italy's mistake was always not going on the attack, only handling a very defensive system, and that tends to be boring, because you don't see a picturesque football, so when they insist on playing more focused on attacking they shine.

Inter had a spectacular season. I liken it to Napoli's run in the season before that one. Napoli couldn't maintain the same look but it was due to Spalletti's departure. They couldn't find a manager like him later. They were in quite much hurry at the same time though. They changed many managers in a short time which isn't the right strategy for success.

However I think Inter won't be the same as Napoli.    They know what they are doing. Inzaghi is doing a great job and still staying. There is a great chemistry so I expect Inter to be very competitive for a back-to-back championship.

Do you expect any other team to make things difficult for them next season? Maybe Napoli after signing Conte? 

Second but he has room to do it, and he must do it.
I don't know how much of an expert in football transfer market De Rossi is but we'll find out soon.
Even a strong striker is needed by Roma, we all know it, even the walls know it.
This purchase cannot be postponed, it is necessary.

Let's just say it really sucked, no problem I'm not the type to get offended.
It almost seemed like they were annoyed or listless, without the tension of playing for the national team.
Truly a terrible figure, it's been years now so we don't even pay attention to it.

Most people believe that having the highest squad is the best for a team to perform well, sometimes the outcome is quite the opposite because there would always be a misunderstanding between players or the coach because some of them could be feeling some sort of entitlement of receiving some preferential treatment, so actually in as much as getting more good players for a club in other to improve on the way they normally play is important but I wouldn't advise buying too much players, however the case of Giroud he has been very helpful to the AC Milan team with his impressive performance, I wonder how they will perform since he will be leaving the club or do you think that they would still maintain there current performance next season?.

Of course, finishing at the second position was still a pretty good job. However I especially wanted to mean the title competition. They couldn't keep up with Inter and I totally accept it was a really tough work to do as well. 

Juventus just couldn't become consistent. They were doing good with going on at the same level with Inter for a while. But that lack of scoring ability cost them their title chance. This is the thing they had better focus on until next season.

Despite having the second biggest total market value I also believe their squad is not good enough for the quality of such team.    Giroud has finally left and he was a big goal source so far. His place should absolutely be filled to preserve their productiveness. In addition to that, the defense needs to be strengthened immediately. Conceding 49 goals in 38 games is not good enough to compete for a Serie A trophy.

This summer it was also reported that AS Roma lost several players due to expired contracts and no contract extension options, perhaps this is also De Rossi task to immediately look for other player options that he can bring in as replacements for the vacant positions.
But on the other hand, I also agree that AS Roma has a pretty bad defense, they more often failed to defend their back strength when there was counterattack from the opponent in every match played last season.
They have got several names but there is no definite clarity as to who will actually sign contract with AS Roma in this summer transfer window, I think AS Roma needs at least two or three new players for now.

Moreover, AS Roma also got Europa League ticket and they are one of the most favorite teams in the Europa League competition as candidate with big chance of winning the title.
If AS Roma can get players who are truly great and able to create solid games in all positions, then it is possible that they will actually get European League competition next season.

I think AC Milan was still quite competitive, they could finish the season as the runner-up (second place). AC Milan even could beat Juventus although Juventus looked quite convincing to compete for the title in the first half of the previous season. In the second half of the previous season, AC Milan could perform better than Juventus. At the end of the day, Juventus dropped its position in the 3rd place and AC Milan overtook their position in the 2nd place. If AC Milan wasn't quite competitive, they won't be a runner-up.

However, AC Milan squad looks unconvincing for this season. They have no strong strikers and there are no strong midfielders as well. If AC Milan failed to sign a top striker as the successor of Giroud, I really doubt that AC Milan only can struggle in middle of the Serie A standings. It is very unfortunate that AC Milan is going to be a mediocre team. So, they must get some new players to strengthen their squad again.

Actually AS Roma has the money to buy stronger defenders. De Rossi must realize that they still have weak defense. So, they should take the advantage from the transfer windows, they must sign some strong defenders. They couldn't improve their performance if they only strong in attacking and midfield, their defense must be stronger too.

True you are absolutely right about this. In the end you have many advantages:
 - money comes in, and that's an obvious advantage
 - players are motivated to give their best
 - you become attractive to good players who want to make a career

 instead no cups.. well it's clear you're unattractive and you don't get money which is very useful to today's teams

Bologna will certainly pay for changing coaches, but it was inevitable and not their choice.
Milan will also change coach, as we know Paulo Fonseca, I don't know what it will be like I don't know this coach.
In any case, these are big changes for a team and I don't expect them to perform well straight away.

I agree that finishing in 4th place in the Serie A class is a good start, but if De Rossi is able to bring AS Roma to win the championship then that is an extraordinary thing even though the obstacles are very big, to face clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and Atalanta, maybe for now at least De Rossi can be optimistic about his current players to be able to get Champions League tickets next season.

It's not just the financial income that As Roma will get, but the enthusiasm of the players will also increase by itself, even though there are many talented players outside, at least As Roma won't make the mistake of buying players so that the game remains as good as last season, even though it only finished in the place. 6th place at least playing in Europa is much better for next season, and it looks like De Rossi is still able to improve next season's ranking with several additional players in several lines.
