Loyalty? Come on Kamil... Footballers and loyalty don't blend (except in cases of one-club players which are incredibly rare).

LR, am sorry man and don't take this as an offense but I think you're the only one here that cares (at least genuinely) about italian football. I can't remember the last time I watched a Serie A match. English football (and Real Madrid with Barcelona) has flattened every other league in Europe (mainly from all the tycoons pumping money into it) and bought every remarkable player from every team you can think of (Bayern, PSV, PSG, Porto... to name a few) Italian clubs are closed up on themselves for whatever reason and explains their lack of edge: been a while since someone other than AC Milan reached the Champions League final (and even that was a good few years ago).

Actually I have been a Juventus fan since 1993 (First team I discovered when I started following football) and I've witnessed their ups and their downs. But one thing is sure, this is a team with an identity. I like Arsenal very much but it just doesn't get to me how a British team doesn't have a British player in its starting eleven. Juventus have 7 Italian players in their starting line-up and have the best youth system in Italy. Just look at the quality of the guys who emerge from there: Giovinco, Ariaudo, De Ceglie, Esposito and my personal favorite Marchisio. This is a team that commands respect because never have they invested exorbitant money to get players (except for Amauri and when Zidane was sold they used the money to bring in Thuram, Nedved and Buffon). Juventus is a team with a history and a bright future and I do not care what they say, the calciopoli may have relegated the Bianconeri to Serie B and stripped the team from a fully-deserved scudetto, the team bounced back and remains the most succesful team in Italy. When the Milan teams get their 2nd star on their jersey let them ring our bell.

PS I always thought that Milan are the original galacticos (not Real). When you bring Van Basten, Papin, Rijkaard, Gullit when they are shooting to stardom and you already have Franco Baresi, that says a lot.
