Building a team of Italians because we lose star players every year ?
As much as I hate to see us sell our stars , buying Italian just for the sake of retaining our players is just plain backward thinking.
As I've always said, if you buy Italians, buy the best. Quality over Nationality any day nevermind if we have to go through nauseating transfer saga's every year. Atleast it's producing the right results on the pitch.
Regardless there will always be a core group of Italian players at the club anyways.
Well you don't want to sign mediocre players. You would need to sign the best Italian players. Like you wouldn't put Sturaro in the team for simply being Italian. Basically: What I'm saying is look domestically first, and then if there isn't a player with the characteristics you'd like, look internationally.
For example:
We want a striker: Look at Belotti, if this is impossible, you don't look to Immobile, you look internationally.
We want a winger: Look at Bernardeschi, if this is impossible, you don't look to Stephan El Shaarawy, you look internationally.
We want an AM/Secondary Striker: Look at Insigne, if this is impossible, you don't look to Saponara, you look internationally.
We want a CM: Look to Verratti, if this is impossible, you don't look to Marco Parolo, you look internationally.
We want a CB: Look to Romagnoli, if impossible, don't get Tonelli, look internationally.
We want a fullback: Look to Florenzi, if impossible, don't get Santon, look internationally.
Goalkeeper: Donnarumma, if impossible, don't get Sportiello, look internationally.
You want young talent to come off the bench: Look at Pellegrini/Gagliardini, don't sign another Sturaro, look internationally.
