re: Players to watch for this season

Lorenzo Insigne -- Napoli (ATT, Italian, 21)
Insigne starred with Marco Verratti under Zeman at Pescara on loan in their promotion campaign last year. Already being hyped with Mattia Destro and Balotelli as the new generation Italian NT attack, Napoli's hopes for a top three finish may depend on how well he replicates Lavezzi's production.

Luis Muriel -- Udinese (ATT, Colombian, 21)
His pace and finishing during his loan to Lecce have him back at Udinese and under the tutelage of Guidolin. They'll need him to contribute heavily to avoid a free fall down the table and out of Europe competition after 2 years of heavy selling.


Victor Ibarbo -- Cagliari (ATT, Colombian, 22)
Cagliari looks to stay out of the relegation zone if this physically imposing striker can live up to his promise after a year of adjustment to Serie A.

Ciro Immobile -- Genoa (ATT, Italian, 22)
If Immobile keeps up his torrid scoring pace from Pescara, Genoa may surprise some folks and Juve may regret courting Europe's big names instead of simply calling back his loan.


Stevan Jovetic -- Yeah, certainly to watch since Fiorentina's surrounded him with some decent talent but he's already "arrived" and then some.


And, of course:

AS Roma's attack (or most of the squad actually): The youth movement enters it's second year with a lot of young talent. Expect some rocky roads but there's some potential stars about to burst onto the scenes:
Mattia Destro (Italian, 21), Nicolas Lopez (Uruguayan, 18) and Erik Lamela (Argentinian, 20) in the attack as well as Panagiotis Tachtsidis (DMF/Regista, Greece, 21) and Dodo (RB, Brazilian, 20). I'd also watch Pjanic and Osvaldo as both are established but could take the next step into the elite at their positions.
