top scorers.

Funny how a BIG club didn't see his potential, except Inter at the age of
31.

Inter just collects whoever does well in Serie A, as he was playing in
Spain they were clueless to his potential before his season at Genoa.
I am surprised he hadn't gotten to a better club earlier given his
consistent goalscoring for Zaragoza.

Other teams had the chance to collect him but they didn't, so credit to
Inter.

Yeah, but Milan, Juve, Roma, etc didn't collect him. Thye had the chance the
same as Inter.

Some players mature with age like an excellent Barolo;)

Have you gone over to the dark side, or what? Inter spends more money
than any other club, that's why they get everyone and anyone who makes
a name in Serie A. Yes Milan's scouting is terrible but they don't
have a open ended budget like Inter either. What Inter does is called
hoarding and it's been going on for more than a decade but has only
started work in the last few years.
