Did I say something that upset you?
Wanting Italians at an Italian club. Burn me!!
It'd be clear to anyone who isn't deluded that if there were two players performing equally. One being Italian, the other not. That the non-italian would be valued more by people here. Being Italian automatically starts you off at -1
We are the only "fanbase" that unfairly shit on the few players that came through our academy over the years too. There are players who were at Milan as kids playing professionally that are good enough at least for our bench. We should've been proud and keen to keep our own boys. The first run of bad form and we crucify them. I don't get it.
Italians are factually more expensive because of the growth decree (let’s see what happens to it now) . Why pay a premium?
Combine this with the PTSD of the ItalMilan banter era, and the fact that the 3 worst players on our current squad are Italian, and you have a potent combination.
The problem is with youth development, where tactics are prioritized more than physical attributes during player selection at a young age. Most Italian players are thus not very athletic compared to their English or French counterparts, making them less suitable for the modern game.
I mean, GP preferred RR over Theo, that’s the classic conservative Italian football mentality.
