If we have a player of the same ability, don't you think them being Italian is preferable to us?
No, absolutely not. Remember, the Italian players will still have a premium attached to their transfer fee just because they are Italian and play for rival clubs in the same league. We will have to pay more, in theory, because of the demand for Italian players. So even if we have two equally skilled players, one Italian and one foreign, there will be a price bias towards the former.
If the player is good enough, I don't care what nation he's from. But when we are overpaying for mediocre players just because they are Italian, then something is wrong there. It's not in our best interests.
He hates Italy and Italians. That's all, dude.
Nah, I just hate nations that don't exist, like Belgium, Waffle-Head.
I just can't believe its Milan. That pisses me off. I was hoping against hope he would come back to Juve.
Shit.
I know you're a huge fan of his, but IMO, he's not a team player. I don't want these sort of guys on the team.
