OP
It's not always been Italy,Spain and England.Secondly,the Bundesliga could overtake Serie A.I dont get how you arent seeing the signs.
Having a weaker league does effect your own team's ability to attract big names.Turning into a team like Lyon would be cool,but we would blow when it come to Europe simply because the competition we had domestically wasnt good enouigh.

Bundesliga has never been able to hold a candle to Serie A, I have no idea what you're talking about and I really don't understand why you're worried about the status of the league if these players leave. It's not like people were joining Serie A because of Zlatan and Kaka.
Napoli hasn't won a scudetto in almost 20 years but they still have history and players join that team because of that. Kaka and Zlatan will leave and new players will join, some of these will become big names and will be sought after by other European clubs.
I don't want a weaker Serie A, I'm just not flipping out over these two players leaving.

New stadiums, an independent Serie A, the potential 6+5 rule, I think I read something about a UEFA idea of capping team debt... 
Not really sure about that one...
The first two are certain - and big time positives for our team from a revenue standpoint, while the second two are still possible. I feel this league has some better days ahead, in the not too distant future... I really feel like those days will be our days...

Urm Actually Bundesliga was once top too. For ten years in fact

if you check the official ranking, you'll see theyre not far behind serie a anymore. If they catch up, then bye bye 4th spot

He's right though, Ze. For the first time in at least a decade Germany has almost the same coefficient with Italy. If next year the German teams win more points than the Italian teams (as it happened this year and in 2007/08) then Germany will be third, Italy will be 4th and in season 2011/2012 Germany will give 4 teams in CL while Italy will have 3.
Milan are selling Kaka and it is reported that they are going to bring Fabregas and Adebayor instead
I think Milan are doing good by bringing Fabregas instead as Kaka is not the same he was IMO and Fabregas could be better for Milan
Adebayour is a great striker and it could make Milan win the scudetto (ofcourse they need some defence too...)

personally i took a lot of satisfaction out of beating Inter when they were throwing money about like a sheik in manchester, however, i would take a lot more satisfaction out of beating THIS Inter,the stronger,more organized team who are no longer a joke. for me,winning is all the sweeter when your opponents are at their strongest.
serie a is looked down on in Britain by snobs who know very little about football,an exodus of top stars would almost certainly cement the viewpoint here that serie a is a league in decline.of course it is always possible that we could sell Buffon, Inter sell Zlatan and Milan sell Kaka and we all use the vast amounts of money to strengthen our teams considerably and end up better outfits with it,but....we are already financially handicapped an Inter or Milan with money would almost certainly price us out of identified transfer targets
