Is the sinking ship Inter? Or Serie A?

For example, we are watch Serie A pretty closely, thus we also get access to MULTI media outlets from Italy. On top of that, if someone like El Sharr is being hype as the next Messi. We all get a chance to watch him closely for more than a few games. Does we can judge if he is the real deal or not. Same thing goes for EPL, Liga and Budles. On top of that, we can watch him in CL, if his team is playing there. Something we really can't do if the player plays in Brazil or Argentina or Czech.

Of course all local media will hype up their youngsters as the next "xxxxx". But it's only local media that hypes up their talent. England hypes up their young people, but the only reason I hear of it is because I'm reading english media. Even the US hypes up their youngsters and I know about it because I live in the US. For some reason though, it just seems that Brazilian hype (and to a lesser extent Aregentina) is on an international level. And I don't think that's a coincidence when you consider the prevalence of corporations buying player rights in places like Brazil. Didn't we have to negotiate with some 3rd party company to sign Ganso? And don't you think that those 3rd parties are going to increase the hype to maximize their profit?

I mean, how is it I know so much about Neymar and Ganso, but couldn't name one young player from the Czech u21? Or some young russian star that's being hyped as the next Zizou in russian media? It's because I don't read russian media and the international media is focused so much on southamerica.

So yes, all countries - including Italy - hype their youngsters. But I just feel like the hype about youngsters of the 2 south american countries is much grander. Just my opinion.

Lastly, players response differently to different systems and environments. We all say T. Silva is the best defender in the world....but 6 yrs ago, he was a huge flop and I doubt anyone in the world including himself believes that he will become the best defender one day.

I'm not worried about the hype as excited MILAN BOUGHT HIM. All those players you listed Galliani never bought (Bonera was bought after his hype died out and he was almost 25 for a low fee).

Galliani has been notoriously conservative with youngsters with high fees. El Shaarawy's fee is quoted at 7 mil + half of Merkel for his whole contract. By time we buy back Merkel we'll have ended up paying close to 15 mil which was El Shaarawy's quoted fee.

The fact we moved so quickly on it means our scouts were VERY high on him. Milan scouts are among the best in the world, I've always contested. My problem is Galliani rarely listens. Braida had asked Galliani to buy Pastore but he stalled and Palermo bought him for 8 mil. Braida wanted Hernanes but Galliani said we didn't have money. List goes on...

Almost as frustrating as missing on hernanes last year, except we used the nonEU spot on Robinho (so atleast we got a great player in one aspect... in pastore's we got sheva instead.. ugh)

By the way will EL Sharrway be playing with Milan or stay in Genoa?

He has potential to be even better. He has excellent vision, he is a two footed player, perfectly able with both feet. His passing is impecable. His vision and ability to pick a pass is impressive. He is techncally better than Pirlo, a better dribbler, more agile and more reactive(quicker reactions). His stamina is also superior to Pirlos. Right now as it stands, he is better than Pirlo.

two bad moves by moratti. the first was to get benitez to kill the horse(inter) then leonardo to beat the dead horse

it will now take a really good coach to rebuild that team, most of their players are past it and the rest are unmotivated. If Eto and Sneider go, they are screwed.
