No one will pay that money for him, completly unproven outside italy playing every week.
EVEN if they got that money they couldnt afford the wages ETO wants after tax - Inter themselves have admitted this.
IBRA is NOT the top paid player in the world and never was - nothing like. No way he is on anything like ROnaldo, Kaka even the Robinhos of this world.
The italian league is very much the 4th league in europe now - they cant compete transfer fee or wages wise due to this. Even the big clubs in italy accept and openly admit they cant compete. Aging sides and a feeder league for the big european teams its been that way for years !
Look at the OAPs Inter are signing from Chelsea, Dece etc, well into their thirities - this is seen a progress for the best side in Italy !

What? German league bigger than Serie A? You havin a laugh.
So Kaka is a bad player then?
alera said:Italian National side - mostly in 30`s. Yes they were class - 4 years ago at their prime.
Seria A is 4th tier league in europe, even their big sides can compete on the pitch or financially with the big sides from thee Prem, La Liga, Bundas league. Proven time and again over the last few seasons in the CL..
But this is common knowledge obviously. All the big sides in Italy have ageing teams. Yes they were dominant 10 years ago but not anymore.

Juventus
Inter
Ac Milan
Roma
Fiorentina

Yeah always makes me laugh when people say the Italian is crap. Apart from the last 2 or 3 years when they have not performed well in the CL, their clubs have dominated Europe for 20 years. Their national team is also current world champions (although they were crap last night)...
