So much bullshit. Yeah the obvious answer is to buy proven stars, and make a FIFA/Galactico team. Can we afford it? No.
We became big buying players like Del Piero, Zambrotta, Camoranesi, Pessotto, Inzaghi etc from Padova, Bari, Hellas Verona and Atalanta, combined with some great foreign players.
Yeah, Italy had a shit generation from 2006 and onwards, but if you don’t see the talent nowadays in Serie A is because you don’t want to see it. We always created our own top players. Somehow people forgot that, including our board, and we became stuck with mercenaries on high wages.
