Yes because the epl style of game is garbage compared to the way the Italian National Team plays.
So Bianchi has made a terrible decision moving to EPL.
I do not mind watching the mighty Reds of MAnchester playing

Zola did get picked when he was at Chelsea, but not a lot. He did play in the WC 98 qualifiers, but not the world cup.
Zambrotta and Cannavaro moving to Spain was due to extraordanairy situations, otherwise they would still be in Italy. Cassano, like has been said has also recieved a call up at Real Madrid.
The only other player in the modern era that was picked from outside of Serie A when he was doing brilliantly in a foreign league was Vieri at Atletico Madrid in 97/98 when he scored 24 goals and was leading goalscorer.
The long vicissitude of the transfer of Rolando is concluded finally Bianchi (24), the former forward of the Reggina is passed to the Manchester City, where it will wear the mesh number 10.
Reggina hitman Rolando Bianchi has completed an £8.8m switch to Manchester City.
Bianchi made his name at the Stadio Granillo last term when he fired 18 goals for the struggling Calabrians and saved them from the drop.
It had been suggested that the 24-year-old striker would prefer to remain in Italy, but there were no offers from the peninsula’s top sides despite contact with Napoli.
Ex-Lazio tactician Sven Goran Eriksson is thought to have lured the Bergamo-born youth and is delighted to have got his man.
“He works very hard, he’s very young and he can score,†he grinned. “If you can score nearly 20 goals in Serie A and you are not with a top club like Milan or Juve then you must be talented.
“He should have a great future and he’s a good footballer as well as a goal scorer, which is what we need.â€
Bianchi has completed his medical in Manchester and may even make his first appearance in Saturday’s friendly against Doncaster.
90% of Italian National Team play in Serie A.
Coach of National team coaches in Serie A.
Erm, Serie A has the current European Champions
Erm, Serie A has the current BEST player in the World....
Yes, & when they won the world cup every single player played in the Serie A(100%). Like Juventino said players like cannavaro & zambrotta are only overseas due to extraordinary circumstances. Serie A used to be the NBA of the football world, i have faith that it will return to being the best, i dont know how but it will!
As for the topic, i dont think this is the most intelligent move for bianchi, some of the big clubs in italy wanted him, but best of luck to him.
The smog level in Milan shot up by 200% on April 22, as millions of dusty Nerazzurri flags were taken out of the closet and waved wildly.
Personally as a Reggina supporter i would have liked to see him stay 1 more year at Reggina to help get a UEFA spot, however if he had gone to one of the top tier Italian Clubs chances are he would have spent most games on the bench with minimal playing time. Assuming he does stay at Manchester City as there no1 striker he will more than likely have the oppurtunity to play nearly every game. The only way he will get into the national team is if he scores and the only way to score is to be on the field. he probably wouldnt have gotten this oppurtunity had he signed for a top tier italian team.
