Serie A Top Six predictions?

Which clubs will finish in the top 6 & qualify for europe this season?

My predictions:
1. Milan - difficult to look beyond them this season
2. Inter - Even after Eto'o, we have enough firepower
3. Juve - I believe Conte can make them reach CL, they have spent a lot!
4. Napoli - They might just miss out on the CL... also coz Juve don't ve CL games this season.
5. Lazio - Even after selling stars like Zarate & Litchsteiner, Lazio look strong enough to maintain their pace
6. Udinese - Its a tough call between then & Roma, but I believe Guidolin's guile will see them do better than Enrique's naivity.

Whats your top six?

1- Milan
2- Juve
3- Inter
4- Napoli
5- Lazio
6- Roma

Milan
Inter
Roma
Napoli
Juve
Lazio

Need 1 full month to come into conclusions..

I am sure most of us will change our conclusion in a months time, the question is what do you think now? You know how the teams were last season, you know the changes over the summer... whats your call?

Enrique, Jose Angel and Bojan are that good?

1. Milan - Enough firepower and balance, they are still beyond any other team's reach this season
2. Juve - Done very well with the team building. They should be able to stage a comeback
3. Inter - Had it not been for Gasperini and his welcome 3-4-3, I would have voted them ahead of Juve
4. Napoli - No major exits and added depth to their ranks, expect them to continue from last season
5. Lazio/Roma - Depends on how consistent they are but both 5th & 6th spot should be a race between them. Dont expect much from Udinese as they have some pivotal players

Enrigue will struggle in the first few games before finishing strong, this is how his teams have played so far, i expect roma to be round 5th in the final 3rd of the season and going on a great run to finish in the top 3.

Jose Angel is the business.

Bojan time will tell, i am confident he will prove his doubters wrong.

I am not so sure. The reasons why I expect Roma to finish outside the top 5 are:
1. Roma have bought a lot of new players, it will take time to gel. Plus, even tho they have spent a lot of money, its hasn't been very wisely.
2. From the pre-season, looks like Enrique needs a lot of catching up to do re Serie A style of football
3. The usual weak mentality that defines the club
4. Clashing ego's, there already is a political soup cooking in the pot that now contains Totti, Enrique, Sabatini, & Baldini. That sounds like a ticking time bomb.

Rome wasn't built in a day. And this one will tale more than a season to start showing results.

I think osvaldo for 17 was a bit much, but everyone else is pretty decent, young players with potential, i agree about the ego's and that it will take time but 3-5 is what i expect.

Probably Lucho will be sacked before Christmas. Did they already fill the vacancy at Barcelona Atletic?

Nah, if I have to bet, I rather bet the other team from Rome will make the top 5.

I think Phillippe Cocu was a 1st candidate, but in the end it is Eusebio Sacristan who took over.
