Hi Ed,

Is there even a slim chance of a deal for Barella this summer or is it all hyped up nonsense?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Italians don't travel that well to the UK-This one is never happening.

{Ed0666's Note - Are you Tony Robinson? How about Zola? Ravanelli? Di Canio? Vialli? Mancini?

Loved Benito Carbone, brilliant player. Cudicini wasn't bad either.

I think you mean Italians don't travel well to Liverpool, Spaceman:
Dossena, Borini, Balotelli, Aquilani.

‘So apart from the wine and the roads and the schools and the public baths and the football players what have the Romans ever done for us? ’ (to mis-quote slightly)

{Ed0666's Note - oh don’t forget lIaria D'Amico. She’s settle really well into the UK especially in my dungeon…I mean in the Match Of The Day studio.

To Liverpool specifically i mean, and it is well known that Italians are more nationalistic and love their home comforts more than some other nationalities. Barella would be all alone, with no fellow Italians about to share cultural norms with like the Brazilian players do.

{Ed001's Note - there is an Italian community in Liverpool mate. I am sure he would have no problems with that.}

I hear you Ed001, only another player/ italian family at the club could sway a move like this, and he would be the only 1.

{Ed001's Note - it really doesn't work like that.}

Thank you Ed0666.The funny thing is me da hadn't a clue about football he didn't even know how to kick a ball but he just loved Zola. He was a class player I loved watching him play myself.

{Ed0666's Note - Zola just oozed class mate mercurial footballer

West derby that is a wonderful wonderful post. The problem with Barella is that he’s not the messiah.
