Naples market, Lucca can leave

Zero balance, sic et simplicity, as they would say on the polyglot market, where it will be possible to sit equally in all the languages ​​of the world, Latin included, and without even letting yourself be overwhelmed by anxiety. In the Super Cup, while a few drops of champagne are allowed to slip (now you can, in Italy), there are intuitions that tame that sense of disorientation felt with the intervention of the independent Commission for the supervision of budgets: buying with ease and generosity, as last summer, will be prohibited, but if necessary, and if anything indispensable, to intervene, it will be enough to behave like the housewife from Voghera, take pen and paper, compare the cost of labor of those who will leave and then, balancing it, insert fresh forces into Napoli who will come.

reserves

—

The rest is written in the balance sheet, a feather in the cap that never withers, not even after letting a couple of hundred million float around between July and August to strengthen itself without spending limits: there are the reserves, a hundred million more or less, which are able to guarantee tranquility and stability and if necessary, it will be there that De Laurentiis would go to take a look. The future is a horizon that must only be analyzed laterally and with the projects Napoli have demonstrated that they know how to do it: however, precisely in these days in which some movement should be inspired, there is no sign of destabilization in Castel Volturno.

mainoo?

—

Napoli are orienting the winter session differently and the strategies of Adl, Manna and Conte seem to be being redefined: the midfielder, an emergency until a few weeks ago, may even disappear from the radar, because Anguissa’s signals lead to optimism (return in the middle of the month, so another 4-6 games to miss) and Gilmour should be ready in four weeks. Having Lobotka, McTominay and Elmas relocated seems enough and seeing Anguissa (almost) back on the sidelines is a splash of healthy joy. But if Manchester United really wanted to release Mainoo then we could talk about it, knowing that what comes in can simply replace what goes out. When summer arrives, we’ll think about the rest: maybe the Champions League will let the basket drop; and then there will be new interests that will arise, perhaps also in other players who could turn into a treasure. Napoli are not distracted, they always follow Lorenzo Pellegrini, nor have they forgotten that in Seville there is Janlu Sanchez and in Udine there is Arthur Atta: in the relationships there is already a good yes.

Lucca

—

There will be plenty in attack as soon as Lukaku transforms from a non-playing captain into a shock center forward to assist Hojlund, stay behind him or alongside him or in front: Manna meanwhile wants to understand what Lucca can give, and he hasn’t told him. “Lorenzo is strong, we wanted him, but he has to rev up the engine to play for this Napoli. We have to give our all not only in the match but also in the week. For now he’s with us, then we’ll see what happens, it’s up to him”, who has admirers, it’s a loan to be redeemed, and can still help contain the indicators of labor costs – together with Marianucci, who needs space and could find it elsewhere, like Ambrosino and not necessarily like Mazzocchi, who has a chance to stay – and therefore chart the way. Everything from Voghera, the housewife would say solemnly, to you Naples.
