Good point.

But it's much more painful to see us at 7th place for seasons. At least we were second before.
Yes, but I didn't just gauge the league on how we did. Haven't you thought to yourself as the seasons draw in, just how bad the league and title races have become?

There are a lot of talented young players in this league and some teams with good vision, but due to their inexperience those teams are hit and miss, inconsistency is obscurity and it's basically become a second rate league waiting for overseas clubs to come and pick up the likes of Pastore, Alexis, Ilicic etc. So the likes of Palermo and Napoli fall again, the standard decreases more, and the old 'four sisters' are scrapping with change to try and stay competitive at CL level. Even reaching it is a problem for us.

    I don't think those teams are doing bad. Palermo and Udinese represent Italian Porto or something as they always get the good players which they later sell. I don't think they'll ever become a top club simply because their management tends to make profit out of players' sale and not risk through getting quality players and playing in the CL. They are doing their job, but we aren't as we should be those who are supposed to get the same players that Udinese and Palermo make and don't let them go aboard, as they wouldn't even count for EU spots.

    As for the actual statement how there are many talented player, well, I don't really agree. Italian clubs lost many talents and they don't posses quality players, not many of them. There are some young players, true, but there are no stars.

    Top 4 clubs are falling apart simply because of their thinking, old Italian way. Experienced is always preferred and it's kinda sad, as talents are being killed on the bench. Inter was written to fall apart as they didn't change anything after winning 3 trophies. Mistakes are obvious as money is being thrown away on mediocre players with one aim - to make the bigger hype of Italian NT and players. Look at the Italian market and new prices, it's become the new EPL with the ridiculous figures.

    Quality post that Dooz.

    The big teams are shopping for Italian talent that is non-existent at the moment at a time where Italy as a NT is light years behind what it once was.
