Roberto Donadoni praises the new capital flowing in Serie A, but deems Milan's Alessio Romagnoli's price-tag 'excessive' and praises Juventus.
The former Coach of Parma left the team after their dramatic bankruptcy and will now be watching the league from the sidelines.
In an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, he discussed the way that the 2015-16 tournament is shaping, on from Marcello Lippi's analysis of the same topic.

The former Coach of Parma left the team after their dramatic bankruptcy and will now be watching the league from the sidelines.
In an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, he discussed the way that the 2015-16 tournament is shaping, on from Marcello Lippi's analysis of the same topic.
“Italian teams are spending big on the transfer market again,” he said. “And while this may surprise some people, it's a good thing.
“I hope this can raise the quality, because buying players of a high level raises the average quality of the championship, which had gone down a little in recent times.
“Some of the value estimations seemed a bit excessive to me though. For example, [Milan's new signing Alessio] Romagnoli.
“Juventus signed players of a high level without spending disproportionate amounts of money.
“Inter changed very much and their expectations have gone up alongside their expenses.
“Changing a lot means some new difficulties, but they do have an experienced Coach like Roberto Mancini.
“Napoli? They can keep growing under [new Coach Maurizio] Sarri. It's only right that someone like him should play for a big team.”
Donadoni then went on to discuss the two teams from the capital, and his own former team Parma.
“Roma made a great signing with [Edin] Dzeko, but they shouldn't attach themselves too much to a single player.
“Lazio have the groundwork to confirm their position, though they may be lacking something in defence.
“The championship is going to be surreal because of Parma's absence, but now it's time to look forward.”
