back then italian teams still had a name and money to compete. No longer do world class players at their prime like to join italy. I feel that the end of italian top flight foorball is near. But hey at least we can say we were there when the stars where there ! Something our children will never witness

Look what happened to Parma, Fiorentina, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, etc. The 1st 3 went bankrupt, and the latter 2 are still recovering from their lavish spending almost a decade ago.

The bubble will burst in England and Spain as well, who each have debts over 3 billion euros. Serie a's total debt is only 380 million euros.

With Gourcuff and Kaka gone, Milan have raised 80 million euros. They can spend half in the mercato, and the other half to service the debt of the past few seasons, which coupled with CL revenue next season, will be wiped out completely.

Hopefully Serie A is watered down enough that DC United can join and compete in European competition. So I vote yes.

Well, I guess it would be kinda fun to be the best team in a crap league a la Bayern or Lyon. I mean, we won't compete for the CL and we won't sign the best players, and our players would be bought by the real big clubs... but at least we would win the Scudetto 5 years in a row, and would have our 4th star in no time.

But I have to say, so far I'm happy with the Kaka move and the Zlatan move would make me happier.

Not really. We will see less dives on Saturdays and Sundays and Manchester may get beat a few times, so in my opinion the quality of the league will rise. I expect Manchester to spend heavily on one or two players and then play Rooney and Scholes over them.

Liverpool and Arsenal have been bunkered in so far, just defending the talent they already have. I think toward July will see some add ons from those two. So if anything those two squads will get better.

Acellotti is in charge of Chelsea and we all know that that means. He will buy, but he will purchase old, Italian, and washed up. Though it will be interesting to see how Pirlo meshes with Lampard and how long it takes for Ballack to slap him and call him a WOP. Chelsea should be the most interesting team to watch this summer as they are wealthy but don't have the balls to throw 200 million euros around. At the same time it should be fun to see how long it takes the in-fighting to begin. I think Gus-Gus was the only man capable (besides Mourinho) to handle that bunch of egos.

Man City will spend a lot on average players and then join the Jordies in the Championship, but instead trying to get promoted the owners will just buy the Championship and call it the Manchester League.

All in all it should be a rather fun season in the EPL.

What I don't understand is why Pirlo wants to leave Milan. He's got everything he could possibly want right there. Why take the risk?
