I'll try and go through the say top half-teams at the moment and where they are in preparation for the coming season:

1, Milan (Rossonerda)
Obviously trying to go through a shift of generations right now, and in top Milan style they do that by bringing in an ex-Merde who is 29, and a full back who is 26. Think Berlusconi's mafia will pursue a new #10 player, and with Napoli having set the shocking price tag on Hamšík, I would think Pastore will end up there. Having Allegri over Gasperini will overhaul Inter I think.
Man to watch: Pato

2, Inter (Merdazzuri)
Gasperini is a HUGE gamble, especially as he lost the dressing room at Genoa of all places. I don't think the current Inter squad is well adapted to his 3-4-3, and I somehow doubt he's confident enough to utilise the attacking 4-3-3 that was so successful in the second half of last season. Lots of established star players ought to make a second place reasonable, but there's no reason to take CL football in 2012-13 for granted for Inter, since as we all know, Gasperini seems to have lost his magic. But I suspect the deal to bring Pep Guardiola there is done, and Gasperini is there for one season only.
Man to watch: Samuel Eto'o

3, Napoli
Champions League football could be a disturbance for Napoli, as could missing out on Criscito be. But given they have made an offer for Alexis Sánchez (no way they're getting him), I guess they could be a force on the Mercato, once that story is finished. Three top players and Tridente staying away from a proper Scudetto challenge.
Man to watch: Marek Hamšík

4, Juventus (Rube)
Conte can't be worse than Del Neri, can he? Lichtsteiner and Pirlo (well these days) are solid players if not the very elite bond, but the attacking capacity of Quagliarella and Matri frightens me, and Agüero feels more like a symbolic signing than what Rube really need at the moment, which is strengthening the defensive department.

5, Lazio 
Having finished above  last season, it'd be a shame not to do it again  Marchetti, Konko and Cana are all gambles, but if Zárate leaves for the big money it's spoken of, quite a few new quality players are a definite possibility. Apart from that disastrous drop of form after Christmas, last season was fabulous, and as long as Hernanes is fit for fight, no one is safe from Lazio Grande Lazio!

6, 
Bastards have signed a B-team coach, hoping he's just as good as Guardiola. The promised investments involved buying a 19-year old who was involved in River Plate being relegated, and now buying Bojan, who'll granted be homesick and spend half the time crying at daddys house in Catalonia, or in a wheelchair after receiving the Lorik Cana treatment 

7, Udinese
It could be worse for them. I expect Sánchez to leave for Man Shitty soon enough, and Pozzo is imfamously reluctant to spend the money coming in from sales, probably because it's the best way to keep them afloat. Zapata leaving will hurt bad too, I really rate him.

8, Palermo
Pastore's likely absence will hurt, unless Sogliano digs out some new genius on the same position. Has a top-class line up of wing backs, but that don't mean nothing, when Pinilla is your main man on top.

9, Fiorentina
With an unchanged squad, top 7 is a possibility for Viola, especially with Jovetic back and raring to go. Speaking to a well known Calcio expert who is a Viola fan on Facebook today, he said that he expects either Vargas or Montolivo to leave, though. If Zárate goes, I'll take them 

10, Parma
Finally has a coach with a clue of what he's doing, and Giovinco + Bojinov. Dzemaili is still there. Quality players entering the next season on a high. Will be top 6 at Christmas, then fade.

What concerns me most is that lazio has too many new faces at the team,and with more to come , it will be hard for all of them to blend together at once..One good thing is that they are all together (most of them) at the start of our summer trainings..We ve seen many times that with 4-5 changes at a starting 11 can be hard at start...

Playing Barca style football with Totti, 35, slow wing backs and Vucinic involved haha 

As for Genoa they have Ballamerda as coach, sums it up for me.

and now for a real Laziale moment (ie My zio's opinion) the following is our conversation

DeBez: what do you think about Lazio?
zio: (fart noise) their going to B.
DeBez: but we have been making a lot of moves
zio: what moves (sarcastically)
DeBez: we got Marchetti
Zio: Who's he, no body
DeBez:we got Cisse
Zio: some old French player, who else
DeBez: Klose
Zio: he no klose, he Clown. that should be his name. he'll do nothing

at this point I gave up feeding him names. he goes on to say his stand by "we need a new coach and a new president, thats all nothing else" and some more gestures and talk of Serie B next year

what an optimist my Zio. Forza Lazio!

Are you ok? Bologna had few good players who weren't even getting paid half the time for that matter and Malesani still found a way to motivate them to win games. Malesani is a great coach.

Not to mention a points penalty reduction, three presidents within a season and club in turmoil. They were always on the periphery of the relegation dog fight as well. He didn't do a bad job their in the circumstances.

Okay, Genoa have sold most of their interesting players over the last 1,5-2 seasons, I guess they're not too ambitious any longer. Now they have signed Andreas Granqvist for the defense and Kévin Constant. Obviously not enough for the top half, even though Merkel is a good talent. But that meant they lost El Shaarawi... they are just Silvio's lap dogs these days, not a top-half club for next season. Perhaps 11th or 12th, but no further.

Also Fiorentina losing Vargas Santana D'agostino and soon Montolivo. Fiorentina isnt going anywhere this season, especially with Gila as their striker

I think Lazio will be in the same position as they were in last season or better CL would be great. I think they've made some good signings that'll give them a good lift. But football is a funny old game.

I still unsure about Juve, quite a few Free Transfers that seem decent enough, but completely unsure were their getting the money to be looking at Rossi and Tevez. Berbatov on the cheap possibly but calm down with the 40 or 50 million Euro bids lol
