Italian football in decline???

I keep hearing how Serie A and Italian football in general is going downhill. Are they crazy or just stupid?!! It is glaringly obvious that people who say this have not seen an Italian game and are just repeating what some else is saying. I don't care what anyone else says, the Premiership is dull and predictable, maybe the top 4 teams have a little bit of skill but guess what... that's only because many of the players are from abroad! I remember reading an interview when Sergio Aguero first arrived, He was going on and on about how he loves the Premiership, all I was thinking is that he probably loves it so much because scoring goal has never been more easy! In the Premiership you can make an educated guess about who the top 4 are going to be, Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and perhaps Man City, with all there purchases. Also the rest of the league play a type of football I like to call school ground football, it's when the blast the football down field, hoping that someone can knock it in the net. Yes I admit, the Premiership has more pace but pace alone is not enough, you need to know what to do with it, also what's going to happen when that pace goes? Watching the Premiership is like watching Volleyball- the ball goes from one end to another with no thinking inbetween.
Anyone who does watch Serie A will know that the league is far from predictable. For one thing, current holders Milan look like they are in trouble and Napoli are giving everyone a run for their money, Juventus are rejuvenated under Conte and Inter seem to be somewhere in between transition and falling. Serie A is far more unpredictable and exciting, just because they have not got the cash to buy all the players means nothing, after all, cash doesn't automatically mean class!
