The Giallorossi finished second last season, won the Copa Italia and again succumbed to Manchester United in the Champions League quarterfinals.
With Juventus back out of Serie B and looking to launch an assault on Serie A and the Champions League and Milan particularly eager to reassert some form of domestic dominance, the capital club's strengths will truly be put to the test, following two seasons in which they were Internazionale's only contenders to the title almost by default.
They have so far bought Liverpool full-back John-Arne Riise and Siena's Simone Loria, but captain Totti, who is still recovering from injury, expects more. “John Arne Riise and Simone Loria are two excellent reinforcements, but now I expect another two signings of great quality,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“If we want to compete with Inter, Milan and Juventus, we need at least two more important players. At the moment, we are the fourth strongest side in Serie A."
