First Cabaye now this. Top, top players. If we were to land someone like this it's going to be a very exciting season.

When's the last time an Italian player was successful in the premier League tho? Recently Aquilani, borini, and lamely (I know) have all been flops when they've succeeded in serie a. It just seems like such a huge gamble.

You're right though. Other than that, not many. But they're all pretty decent (obviously apart from Balotelli. Lol.) If it's success and careers that have 'flourished' in this league that you're talking about, then all of those players have made it.

I could see us loaning him. Are there many International loanees though? Seems odd to pack your bags for England temporarily. I don't see us in for him at 20mil, but the fact that we're being linked with big money moves shows that we either are now at a level where can go for the big names or have to go in for big names in order to appear that we are not punchng above our weight in the league.
So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

Doesn't score many, does he. £20m? Welcome to come and fail at West Ham.

Your right Italian players do not seem to travel too well, not too many seem to succeed outside Serie A and that does not just include the Premier League, that's all the top Leagues in Europe.
