lovejoy Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Aye forgot about balotelli.weird thought that such a big footballing country have so few players here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Not many, it might be a cultural thing I suppose. Can't get a decent espresso doppio in Blackpool for love nor money. Definitely miss the golden age of Vialli, Zola, Ravenelli and co. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Aye forgot about balotelli.weird thought that such a big footballing country have so few players here. Why? There is little motivation to move from Italy to England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 The league has had it's fair share of quality attacking Italians, sadly none at Newcastle. Zola Di Canio and to a lesser extent Diamanti have all been great to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Italian football has always been an in house affair, and during the 90s many considered the best league in Football. Think there's a fear that if they left Italy they'd be overlooked for the national team and become outcasts (as used to happen in Holland). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
