Everything

Defintely in the striking department.
Need some more clinical finisher than Icardi/Palacio.
Someone like Hernandez/Morata (Alexis Sanchez - never gonna happen)

Also need a midfielder - Guarin has fallen well off the pace since being linked with Chelsea in January.

You've been linked with Hernandez. Don't want to see him leave but I think he could thrive at Inter.

He would be a great signing for Inter.

He was actually wearing a Swatch, but still scared.

Good news for Italy.

More bad news for Spurs.

How can a thread about the French Open be good news for Italy or bad news for Spurs?

The Tom Ince deal is virtually done. It's hurting me to see great clubs like Inter sink so low. ;(

Might raise the appeal of Serie A in England, though. Especially if he does well.

I've not really seen him play that much, but it's a strange one for me.

Inter seem to be doing a lot of business on the cheap, I thought they would be investing.

He impressed me for Blackpool and England under 21's. Looked poor for Palace, though.

I think he's a promising young player. Not going to be anything special but could be a decent premier league player in the future.

Refreshing to see a young Englishman move abroad, hopefully it'll encourage more to do the same.

posted on 26/5/14

Yes.

No one seems to go abroad, I think it's because even if you are dreadful there are so many clubs in England that will still give you a decent wage.

posted on 26/5/14

Yeah that's true. You can earn more here and I think players know this and it makes them comfortable.

Fair enough, I'd probably do the same, and so would most, but it would be nice to see some young English players test themselves abroad and experience a different footballing culture - though with the amount of foreign coaches coming into England they can still get that here, I suppose.

That's precisely it. It's only a minority of people who move to another country for a 'challenge'. Most do it for financial reasons, and the same applies to most footballers imo.

After the UEFA ban, the mass influx of big-name overseas players to the PL only really kicked off with a few over-the-hill footballers who went there for a big final pay cheque. Some others who made it good in the PL (e.g. Cantona) only really ended up there because they weren't really coveted by the big Italian or Spanish clubs.

It might be a bit different now, because of the PL's reputation, but I still reckon that wages are the main driver for most of them.

Bearing all of the above in mind, why would most English/British players be looking to move out of their comfort zone when the wages in the PL are the best in the world?

Spot on.

And even the wages in the Championship are ludicrous: QPR had a higher wage bill than Atlético or Dortmund!

Really? I'd never heard that before.

The sacking of Seedorf will be confirmed in the morning with Inzaghi set to get the manager's job at Milan. Yet another massive gamble.
