10 years ago people were still searched when crossing European borders, 10 years from now Europe would be like a European version of USA. This process of integration and globalization is inevitable as it seems right now, and football club's policies, along with everything and everyone else, will have to adapt to the change.

I think every squad should take care of its identity, self-identity of its brand, if we look at it businesswise. if it will stay italian team it will have much more supporters in italy and abroad I think, I will give you an example of my country, I do not know any single person who became big fan of milan because Kaladze went to play there, but many people who like italian football in georgia are for milan because it is a team of baresi , maldini and others, and besides I am not against of foreign stars, of course without them you wil not achieve anything, if we get ronaldigno I will be very happy but I do not want this guys like gallas or chivu who are not so perfect lets admit, bring young players from Palermo, get 3 in price of gallas and one of them will surely became better then him , and you will still have 2 to resell again.
