Our history and presitge STILL offers considerable pull to decent players...like Krasic...and Dzeko. True enough we lack the financial clout of City, but then again, so does every other club in the world.
Most players, and people in general, want to earn as much as they possibly can, especially when doing a job which they love. However, when I see an up and coming winger, coveted, or at least enjoyed, by a wide variety of teams, coaches, fans...and he has main suitors of City, a bunch of turkish swine, and us. I assume he can earn better money at fenerbace, as well as more obviously, at city, but he has eyes only for us. WHY???? Because of our history, because of our reputation. We are far from dead, or dying. At worst...hopefully now on the comeback trail, and this season, we will edge a little back towards our position of a true powerhouse of italy and europe. Baby steps must be the way forward, after the horrorshow of last year...
but NO, not ALL decent players care just for $. Thankfully so...
