Well, I still would, one good game against barca doesn't change that.

But it was a good game. Now if he can also score against these rube fuckers I might change my mind

Messi saved his tshirt for martinez..
Martinez is slightly raw but already a very dangerous player..

He certainly has roon for improvement..
It is not easy being a young star at inter, and he can survive

Sensi Rules!!!!

This guy is gonna be a monster. I’m glad Conte seems to see it. Give him a few years to become more mature and improve physically and we are looking at a world class CF. One that actually helps the team outside the box.

Lautaro the slider. Good goal. He seems to be good at those Perrotta-esque sliding finishes. Probably that's the only way he should shoot in order not to suck at finishing.

Why the hell hasn't he learned Italian?! What is this shit?

Because he believes his future is in Spain. You always have to think 10 steps y’know? haha

Messi told him not to bother learning Italian.

100M are nothing. What do you get with this money? A happy Dybala that likes to eat bench every game? It's not easy to find someone that really is that money worth, if you ask me. We should not change every year players. Priority should be the wingers and midfielders, not new forwards. We probably need already one if United asks to much money for Sanchez....

You guys are telling me you would not sell him for 100 mio? WTF?

He had his best game yesterday and he scored a great goal but other than that it was same old same old. Dont get me wrong it s a move in the right direction but the overreaction on here is incredible once again.

First of i think us not having the ball a lot and playing on the counter helped him a lot. First of he usually had more space in attack when he got the ball which made it easier for him. As in he did not loose as many balls stupidly cause he had more space and time when receiving the ball.
Secondly his main task was chasing after the attackers/ball and after watching him for 1 season i think that is his best quality by quite a bit.
Which is great but also fucked up, i mean on one side i love his fighting spirit and his work rate when on the field but i just dont know any top attacker where this is their best attribute.

I mean he s a ok finisher at best, same goes for his technique, he s not fast neither is he very strong, he s got ok vision and ok passing he s movements are also questionable at times and so is his tactical awareness and his decision making is pretty poor.

As much as i d want him to become a 100mio + player i just really do not see it.

If any of his fans could enlighten me which quality he has that he could actually become WC in?
Cause i personally dont believe a striker who is good at a lot of things but excels in nothing will ever be an absolute top striker.

When we got him people were quick to call him a new Aguero but I insisted that if anything he's mostly a more agile Claudio Lopez. Still no slouch, but he's not going to be the world's best striker or someone considered when that discussion comes. But he can work with a great forward/striker and form a great duo.

His main issues are mental. Those can be fixed but at the same time, taming him may hinder his strengths.

His issue isn't mental at all. He lacks maturity, but is mentally fine.

His main issue is that he doesn't have any technical or physical attributes where he is very strong. Not tall, not strong, not fast, no great shot, no dribbling. But he does well enough despite all of that, and has the right instinct that a striker needs.

If the game ever slows down for this guy, and he stops having these rushed plays that he always has, he will become the best striker in the world, quote me on this in 2 years.

He has the speed, tenacity, and the killer instinct inside of him, he just needs time to understand how to slow it down for himself.

*In 3 days. The guy is an absolute beast. Dont sell him to Barca under 150m.

Anything between 50-10M i would sell and he prob would be sold for that amount. I mentioned it before, Mertens is out of contract next summer, he should be signed at all costs, if he doesnt extend with Napoli.

Serie A is the anti-CL and a great game vs Barca can be followed up by a stinker vs Juve or whoever. If we play an open game, Lautaro's instincts play up nicely and he'll score alot more.

Why are we talking about selling one of our most important players, the week of our most important match in eight years. You people are insane.

Martinez has no physical attributes? He's strong as fuck for his height and showed it by holding off Lenglet and he consistently leaps well to get headers despite being about 5'8". He's not lightning fast but he's outpacing most CBs.

So let's see, a Lautaro SWOT analysis.
Strengths:
He's an unpredictable player. You cannot teach that.
Very good dribbler.
Good first touch.
Can beat his man with the ball.
Can win headers regardless of opponent.
Can get into scoring chances.
Does not get bullied by stronger defenders.
Can play quick passes & one-twos.
His grinta is through the roof, you cannot teach that either.

Weaknesses:
Careless when he has possession.
Gets agitated after a couple of mistakes.
Bad passing skills, not his accuracy as much as his timing and weighting.
Generally bad decision making as he always wants to be the one to shine.
Can be very selfish.
Can be very stubborn.

His issues as I said earlier are mental. He needs to concentrate a lot more, needs to learn how to adapt with the rest of the team and give the ball to the best possible place and the only thing he really has to improve which is possible is his passing. His shot selection is quite off but that's because he always wants to go for the goal. If he becomes more team oriented he can be slotted into that support striker spot people thought he was meant for to begin with. But hes' more of a second-striker build, as in the #2 name of your striker partnership, the guy who will score goals that are there but he's not your go-to guy. The problem is that Lukaku is also that guy but with a different style. So that's why they're both better equipped with Sanchez or Politano next to them but even so, goals are no guarantee from either.

I could say that Lautaro is a 15 goal player a year but that's too random. If a team scores 18 goals, that's great, if the team scores 95 then that's not so good if he's the player you expect to knock them in.

Lautaro is best suited next to a scoring striker and with a trequartista behind him. He's a classic secondary #9 of old times who was usually the partner of a legendary scorer but when you rely on him for the goals your team kinda crumbles because he just cannot pull it off. These players are a must despite their lack of lethal scoring. These are the guys who torture defenses and create space directly (by moving off the ball) or indirectly (by tiring defenders) for your main striker to bang them in. This is how Claudio Lopez was essential to Crespo back in Lazio, this is how Del Piero was essential for Trezeguet at the gobbi, how Cassano was a catalyst for Roma next to Montella and in front of Totti and so on. These are the 'tricky' forwards that are necessary to make full use of your main striker. They aren't any slouches, they just have that less appealing role and sometimes they're the only ones getting on the scoresheet.

It's not like Lautaro cannot become a 25goal scoring player. But ideally he needs to be paired with a high scoring player and Lukaku unfortunately is quite unlikely to become that despite a good statistical start. I don't like him very much as a lone striker unless we have like 3 players coming onto the box while he drifts out or has at least 2 more guys around him when we attack. As the main striker he'll get his goals but we won't see him at his best.

Wtf very good dribbler

I heard the same sentences for Perisic & Icardi and they turned out to be horrible decision just one year later.

Nobody is unsellable. Only need to sell at the correct price.
