Wolfcastle Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Eranio and Baiano from Milan and Florence to Derby Ravanelli, Festa and Branca from Turin and Milan to Middlesbrough Santon from Milan to Ashley ran NUFC Sereni from Genoa to Ipswich Silenzi from Turin to Nottingham Di Canio managed Sunderland ffs There's no way a club in the champions league with a boat-load of money can compete with that. Cant believe there are people that still don't think money is by far the most important factor and always has been when players have been coming to English footbal and every rinkydink club and town you can think of for decades.

ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Barella is already on 150k a week and the tax situation is more generous for professional athletes than it is in the UK. To give a significant salary increase you are looking at probably 250k+ a week. We are not at that stage of offering those kind of wages and even if we are I don't think it's a good idea to use money only as main convincing point. It's why I don't think this is ever going to be a goer personally (in addition to the fact Inter will want a decent bit more than £50 million). On 15/06/2023 at 15:23, christ said: Milan’s shit pal. The Italian Peterlee (if Peterlee had a fashion week). Expand Milan is a great city to live as a footballer. Passionate footballing city, but not fanatical and oppressive to the degree where you can't go out and about. Great food/culture/nightlife, can live outside the city and have easy access to the lakes etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
