Well, I quoted you and I need to mention him so you guys can both get the idea
X is right about the romanticism. Europe is a revolving door with money powering everything. In SA, you don't get the salarlies/fame/marketing like you do in Europe. Down there is all about the love of the game. Jump the pond and it becomes about something else.
You made some fair points. however, Morata goes to Chelsea not Milan out of respect for Juve.
In the last 10 years there have been tons of spanish players who play outside Spain (england, germany).
There are germans who play in other leagues.
Why is the whole family thing such a big deal for italians not being able to go play in other leagues. Like i said, Marchisio could potentially start for Barca right now. They need midfielders (god sake they buy a starter from China). Or go start for Chelsea or what ever. But no, has to remain in Italy cause family reasons.
Also, again, we could have sold Bonucci for 60mil to England. Yes if he doesnt want to go, he doesnt want to go. But again, epl is full of spanish players who went there, and other nations also, Aguero basically declines Barca and Real out of respect for Atletico and is in EPL for years now. And there are other examples like that.
My issue is that if Marchisio ends up at Milan, Marchisio and Bonucci, adding to the players they have, get a reliable goalscorer and they are huge treat suddenly.
Marchisio "out of respect" should go abroad then.
