Marotta will link us with Witsel and let Roma splash their budget on him just like he did with Iturbe. Just like he does with several other "targets". Stupid Italian teams can't think for themselves. Moggi was the first to recognize this weakness.
"In 1999 I went to scout a player at Marseille and noticed an Inter scout was there for the same player. I had to misdirect him. I noticed Cyril Domoraud playing and started to praise him so the Inter scout could hear me. Within a week newspapers linked Domoraud to Inter and they ended up signing him. He turned out to be a very mediocre player."

Marotta is walking in the footsteps of the best.

You're blatantly exaggerating. It's never gonna happen. Football is #1 sport in Italy and it's a huge market (50-60m people) with historically relevant clubs. It generates around 1bn Euros from domestic viewers, only slightly bellow La Liga, 200m more than Ligue 1 and 300m more than BuLiga. As far as the TV rights for European competitions are concerned, SKY Italia payed hefty sum (around 750m for 3 years) and acquired broadcasting rights for the CL and EL (previously it was shared between Mediaset and SKY), consequently Italian clubs will earn more money than any other club from any other league over the next 3 seasons. Last year for English and Italian clubs the funds deriving from market pool were allocated almost equally, around 90m, for La Liga clubs 80m, BuLiga 60m... This year it's almost certain that Italian clubs will earn significantly more than their European conterparts. Comparison with the Dutch league is entirely absurd. Ajax for instance earned 12m last year from the CL market pool. Italian clubs may have dreadful results in Europe and they'd still get allocated share, since it's unrelated to sporting success.
You probably misunderstood me. What i meant like Dutch league our league is a springboard for players to other leagues. It's no longer then place where top players want to play at the peak.
We get youngsters or players who past their prime.

Something like what happened to Dutch league, whereby clubs like Ajax , PSV and Feyenord are just there for youngsters to move elsewhere. I am not going into the financial aspects, but if you want me too, we are gonna struggle with EPL alone, lets not even talk about Spanish who has a good youth system and Bundesliga whose attendance is among the top and clawing into the tv rights.

Anyway lets see in 4 years time where the league will be ? I say we will still be in our current state 4 or maybe even 5th best league.

I know what you had meant and that's why I posted few datas to show that Serie A will always be significant, even when historically they have been at all time low for the past few seasons. There's enough demand for its product (more than BuLiga and Ligue 1) to generate decent amount of funds (mostly through broadcasting) and therefore retain good players, not just be a stepping stone for other leagues (some players might leave though); Juve is in this position, while other clubs like Napoli are reluctant to sell and have built solid core over the years. The Dutch league was always a stepping stone, where good players would eventually leave for La Liga, Serie A or EPL.

I am not going into the financial aspects, but if you want me too, we are gonna struggle with EPL alone, lets not even talk about Spanish who has a good youth system and Bundesliga whose attendance is among the top and clawing into the tv rights.
Players aren't gonna leave Serie A to join Burnley all of a sudden, if they have posibility to play for one of the top 5-6 Italian clubs. Spanish clubs are in no better state than Italians, and BuLiga's atttendance means very little (financially) since those tickets are cheap.
Anyway lets see in 4 years time where the league will be ? I saw we will still be in our current state 4 or maybe even 5th best league
5the best league? That's laughable but let's wait and see.

If only up was down, left was right and black was white. You'd be brilliant.

Players aren't gonna leave Serie A to join Burnley all of a sudden, if they have posibility to play for one of the top 5-6 Italian clubs. Spanish clubs are in no better state than Italians, and BuLiga's atttendance means very little (financially) since those tickets are cheap.

4th or 5th does it really matter. The league is not gonna be any closer to the top 3 in the next 4 years at least. Apart from Juventus, I don't think any other team has ambition to improve.

Eder situation showed this. He picked Inter over the possibility of winning the PL and playing in the CL with Leicester.

I'd say that Napoli and even Roma are better than any PL side at the moment.

But German teams have? Dortmund especially, which instead of building upon their successful CL campaign have lost several key players in prime of their career. Serie A is above BuLiga as far as the league appeal goes.

Raiola on Italian clubs wanting Ibra:

"All the clubs in Italy want him, including Napoli, but they are better at making films. Inter are also interested in signing him, but [Erick] Thohir's plans are not very clear. Milan are more about publicity I think. They would need three or four signings to become competitive again.

:lol: He just shat on Napoli

To be honest I think his put-down towards Milan is way worse. I mean... "Of course they can't really buy Ibra, they're just saying this for show so they look like a big club".. That's pretty bad.

gazza $#@! article on who could Conte sign at Chelsea...

look at the value they give our players and the way they say it...they could buy HALF of Juve with 40m. :sergio:

Whoever wrote that is smoking some crazy shit. The value of the Juve players isn't even the dumbest thing there. In what world is Icardi worth more than Harry Kane? Especially considering Kane is English and English players tend to cost like 30% more than they should. And even if you disregard that Kane is easily the superior player to Icardi
