The problem is that when the best talents leave the Italian clubs to the foreign clubs the consequence is that the big Italian clubs buy the talent of the smaller Italian clubs...
the difference between italian big clubs and italian smaller clubs is kept or even increased and on the other hand the difference between the foreign big clubs and the Italian big clubs also increased. |
About the money issue, Galliani contacted Platini and complained about the ridiculous amount of money being payed. The later said that he might put a rule in 2/3 years which will only allow the clubs to get players from their own budget... thus they can't have any debts and such..and their presidents can't fuel them will money..which would KILL teams like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Inter since the amount of debts they have is way too much.
Well, the Top 4 in Italy at the moment are not as good as the Top 4 in England that's a certainty, but if you take a look at the mid table teams they're doing quite well especially in the transfer market, Genoa sold Motta and Milito but they had one hell of bargain, they won much more than they lost. Take a look at Napoli, they signed Cigarini and Fabio Quagrilla(spell?), which are good signings. As long as the likes of Parma keep producing, the mid table teams in Italy are safe, in my opinion Italy has the best mid table teams in all of the leagues.
Problem with Serie A is the financial part and the rules in the league. The taxes on the players wages and all is way too ridiculous, it must change. + In order for the clubs to be able to compete once again they have to build their own stadiums..thats a must that they simply can't avoid. Italy has this rule of not allowing the clubs to give contracts to Under 18 Foreigners, which is good only if it is applied world wide. + They are only allowed to get 2 NON-EU spots per year, but from the recent comments the rule might be changed..which will allow Milan to buy Dzeko and Hernanes in addition to Thiago Silva whom they already bought. But Serie is getting better, since from the season of 2010/2011 Serie A will no longer be connected to Serie B, and the league will be similar to that of the EPL, which will help the clubs.
This year it looks like Serie A will look at the German clubs, Diego first and know Dzeko might come. Problem is, they should start to trust the youngsters, and not loan most of them out.
La Liga has only Real madrid And Barcelona, the first can only compete if they bring an additional 2 quality players. Where as the rest aren't top teams, well yes..Villareal are good...Athletic Madrid are good....Seville is good, but the rest are terrible at best. + The league is way too open defensively.
Which team do you support, by the way?
