Did we really do any damage to Juventus? The only side with a perfect record after 4 games. On a personal note im delighted to see Milan start so well with Kalinic and Bacca starting on fire considering they were both available for under £10m! Napoli led by Jose Callejons amazing start to the season see them and Lazio back in the top 5 with Torino being led by Belotti's 6 goals already! Atalanta, Sampdoria, Fiorentina & Sassuolo are the chairman controlled teams in the bottom half. Inter are 10th having just lost at home to Spal. Saved the best to last

So the story of this month is Spal in 4th place. Making some very smart signings for a pittance with £3m man Caicedo leading the golden boot race, In fact Spal have the 2nd top goalscorer among chairman signings with Fabio Borini on 4 goals. Juventus having only conceded 3 goals in 11 games are only 3 points ahead of Lazio having a great season. Ac Milan lead the expected challengers for European places while Sassuolo & Atalanta might need to start thinking about Januarys window.

Milan are the form team of December going ahead of Lazio but are already 7 points back from Juventus who are still unbeaten. Napoli stumble out of the top 4 as Inter stat to reel everyone in. Roma & Fiorentina are not out of the rac efor the top 4 just yet while Torino will now be looking for a Europa League spot where SPAL currently reside. Sampdoria are one of 3 teams in real trouble. The other two Sassuolo & Atalanta sack there managers in December so your chairmen need not pay off a manager if you choose to replace them in January.
Champions League
Zenit finally got a point to open the door to Napoli but sadly they were beaten at home to Valecia to fall into the Europa League. Worse for Lazio however who fought hard but ended up loosing 1-0 to Liverpool and are out of Europe all together without a win. Juventus also dropped into the Europa League unable to carry on there Serie A form in Europe
