Rodrigo Palacio

Palacio actually played some good matches last season when everyone else was with their head up their asses

InterFCAustin · Sep 23, 2016

Then why you guys talk shit about Nagatomo and some other players? Same like this museum object Palacio, once they put some decent performances and efforts for us, but yet you guys don't remember that, and at the first freaking mistakes they make, you guys type all kind of bulshit about them. I remember Melo had some good games for us last year, but everyone forgets that, I remember Nagatomo having a decent run of games, but somehow it's all forgotten and you guys nowadays wanna eat Nagatomo heart out. Why now all of a sudden y'all defend Palacio?? I don't get it...just a cpl weeks ago vs Pescara y'all wanted him exiled from the face of the earth...but today y'all act some kind of respectful moralists. Let's respect him! Pffff let's respect all of the players then...
If y'all act like what have you done for me lately kind of world...then apply that rule for everyone.

Palacio has been better than Melo & Nagatomo combined in his Inter career so he's earned the respect.

You saying "he stuck with us" as if any team wanted his ass.
I don't remember any player who declined like his did, so low so fast. His ridiculous high salary is unexplainable for his age, and the 0 amount of contribution he makes.
Besides, since when did you become the official moralist of FIF to talk about respecting someone
90% of bulshit that is being said here, is actually a disrespecting or ridiculing a player X or Z....that's what online forums are

I talk shit and give shit to everyone , but never go so far to disrespect a player (or a member of inter) that gave his all for the good of inter, was a good player, and never made any problems to our organization. Especially Palacio, who now is horrible football player, and pisses me off everytime he plays (in these occassions i may call him all kinds of things

)

Still the fucker deserves those 2.5 m, what you dont see his that he didnt demand more $$ when he was a 20 goals per season SS/winger, and you can count on one hand players who score 20goals per season and dont demand astronomical wages, especially players in their 30s. He sacrificed himself for a new and upcoming striker in Icardi, he would run his ass off so icardi would be in a great position to score. And unlike melo and nagatomo he once deserved his wages(and more), he was our best player 2 seasons in a row.

Palacio ran himself ragged when played as our lone striker under WM. He created goals out of nothing when we had literal shit in our midfield, without a doubt worse than Melo/Medel/Kondogbia (kondogbia is there for his haters) than whatever concoction of Kuz-Kuz, Guarin, Mundigayi, hernanes or taider. He attempted to chase down every long ball that Juan Jesus sent up to him. He stuck with us through some of our worst years. He deserves nothing but our respect.

InterFCAustin · Sep 23, 2016

I beg to differ, but ok.

ScottishInterista · Sep 24, 2016

How so? You cant just say that unsubstantiated

Respect is somewhat a given isn't it? Again, being on an internet forum, it's not the most clear medium of communication and the nuances of speech are so easily missed. I don't know why its so hard to just fill in the blanks in your own heads. Like if call Palacio a useless old prick who should have been released years ago, you could say that I'm being disrespectful. But of course I respect Palacio on a personal level. He seems like a good dude who has always been humble and given maximum effort. I sincerely respect him as a human being, as an athlete as, as a representative of this club. But fucking 100%, he's fucken old and should have been released years ago.

I feel like he's an unlucky dude, to some extent. If we bought a Serie C player, gave him a huge contract, the captaincy and the #10 jersey, and he (naturally) played like a Serie C player, he would cop so much shit - despite it never being his fault. I feel Palacio is somewhat similar. I was against signing him from Genoa because I honestly expected the club to sign better players. I mean, when as recently as 2, 3 or 4 years before, we were full of A-grade players like Julio Cesar, Samuel, Cambiasso, Milito, Eto'o, Sneijder, Maicon etc. you can not tell me that Palacio was anything higher than a B-grade player at best, at the time of his signing. To his credit, he admirably performed to his B grade best, but I feel had he been bought, for example, in 2010, instead of or in addition to Pandev, he would have been good for that role - supporting and doing the grunt work for 'better' players.

Wobblz · Sep 24, 2016

Yeah right, a B grade player with 152 games for the shittiest Inter ever known, with 56 goals and 28 assists... Should I calculate the goal creation ratio or you get the picture? Palacio was a great player when he was in his prime, there should be no doubt about that.

Respect can be lost? I don't like the fact that he's still here, and all the good he's done has been tainted by the last 2.5 years, why couldn't he just fucking leave? I genuinely don't like him anymore (as a player, he seems nice but this ain't a personality sport). I don't have to respect anybody, and I sure as shit don't respect this guy anymore. You don't think he noticed a decline in his own form? What I would have respected was him leaving the club because he knew he wasn't good anymore. I know I know everybody is gunna say "well who would leave a club that's paying you this much blah blah blah" idgaf is the answer to those guys. He's an old fuck that didn't know when to call it quits.

Joker · Sep 24, 2016

maybe management want him here to share his experience with the youngsters.

Is this statistic you're talking about 100% accurate? Palacio has scored 56 goals for inter?

But we just dissagree here, therefore I didn't find the need to keep going. I already said what I think about him. "Unsubstantiated" in this case is a relative term. To you, what he's done here is worthy of respect.
I don't see it that way, I see a player who has some friends in powerful positions therefore he's made shit load of money at Inter. Overpaid 100% !!! Some of you guys using his "running" and "trying hard" as an excuse to respect him.
Pay me 2.5 mil to run around and try hard while playing for inter you'll see how much I will run

I agree he's better then Melos and Nagatomos or this world, as a player individually, but to me as an inter fan, he's the same category of players who dont deserve to play for inter.

Batman · Sep 24, 2016

I dont why you guys are complicating things. Pretty sure we all agree he was a good player for us in the first 2 seasons and a half approximately. He carried the team on his own shoulders when no one else in the team could do shit other than Guarin and to lesser extent Alvarez. That's something to be respected. Since 14/15 season he has been a completely different player, and that's understandable since he's been like 33 or something, its called decline. To me, after that season he shouldnt have been here at all, except if he agreed to a massive pay cut in his contract. But he didnt, and he was kept in the team till this very day. Not to mention reports of him getting an extension which is a very awful move by the management, and they're responsible for all this Palacio issue. Now about the arguement that he can still be useful to the team, that's nothing but a bullcrap. All the movement and the dirty work you mention are useless if he keeps on missing easy chances, he is an attacker after all its his job to score. Dude cant even kick a ball. Respect doesnt equal keeping him till forever, Cambiasso our legend, who was still performing at the time, was as old as Palacio now when he was told to leave, and we are keeping this dude who can only run and drawing fouls.. He should leave as soon as possible, we arent paying 2.5m for a guy only to run, that's without getting anything away from his past. Same like how we shouldnt pay 2.5m for a defender who fucks up everytime he plays.

InterFCAustin · Sep 24, 2016

Exactly.
That's all I said the other day pretty much, only in harsher way. Some people here think it's ok for him to hang around at Inter for that ridiculous high salary, while doing absolutely nothing, bcoz he did SOMETHING 2-3 yrs ago. Respect...what respect...he got paid handsomely for all that "running" and "trying". As if he did it for free.
And he supposedly "stuck" with us while we were bad?! Pleaseeeeee! No one wanted him. No one wants to pay all that money for a mediocre player. Only inter did.
For gods sake...all this moralists all of a sudden defending a guy who made millions while running and trying pfff. Nagatomo sucks yeah...melo sucks, but they all are trying therefore we should respect all of them then. Not pick and choose.. if running hard and trying hard is a criteria for respect, then no doubt we should all respect him, kuzmanovic, naga, and the other shits we had and we have on the team now.
I respect Kuzmanovices of the world who left Inter when they saw they're useless here...this guy just keeps collecting that check...fuck him.

Zoro · Sep 24, 2016

Thank you he had my respect but then he lost it simple. Now I see him as a dick who won't leave.

Wobblz · Sep 24, 2016

You all sound like you're paying his salary out of your own pockets. Well, you're not. Remember that. He isn't a starter for us, so I don't see a problem with having a veteran or two in the squad for all sorts of reasons.

InterFCAustin · Sep 24, 2016

And you acting like his goals and running and trying brought us some kind of trophies, therefore we should respect him for what he did three years ago. Which is fair point, but If you gonna do that, then we can use his salary, as one of the excuses why we don't want him here.
At the end of the day, none of our wishes matter anyways

he's still here, and we talking just to talk
