    Italian Serie A 2023/2024

    Yeah, injuries happen - especially for a team that was in 4 competitions. I think our competitors have had worse issues with injuries. Didn't Milan have all of Thiaw/Tomori/Kalulu out for 2-4 months at the same time? They had to play Theo Hernandez and Simic from primavera as centre-backs. In...

    2023/2024 Forwards Rumours Thread

    I think Pasquale Guarro originally mentioned that Inter want a new striker in addition to Taremi and 'in place' of Arnautovic (or Arna as a 5th option). How feasible that is, I have no idea but it does make sense to go with 5 strikers given additional games (although a low-cost option always...

    Which former players feel like "fever dreams" to you?

    Two players that come to mind are Angelo Palombo and that Walace guy. Palombo was the captain of Sampdoria and a pretty seasoned Serie A player. His time here felt so random though. Don't remember much about Walace other than a memory of him conceding a free kick in a game where we conceded in...

    Yup, that one I am aware of. Guarro has generally been good with news it feels, so hopefully there is some truth in this rumour. Seems difficult to pull off without selling players though.

    Lautaro Martinez

    From what I recall, it was mostly regarding his goal scoring record in the CL knockouts, mainly between 2013-2017. I looked up the numbers: 13/14 - 1 goal in 5 games between QF-F 14/15 - 1 goal in 4 knockout matches 15/16 - 0 goals in 5 knockout matches 16/17 - 0 goals in the other 6 knockout...

    Lautaro Martinez

    He's not elite as he hasn't performed up to that level in the Champions League. However, that doesn't mean he isn't good enough for us all of a sudden. He's still a big reason (maybe the biggest) why we are in a great spot in the league this season. In general, we've struggled to have a good...

    Yann Bisseck

    The most impressive thing about him is that he doesn't seem fazed by the moment. Even when he makes a mistake, it doesn't affect his game. His yellow card was a joke btw - he made up for his mistake with a great tackle.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan

    The overreaction is more than I thought. All of a sudden, every player is terrible and needs to be sold. It's disappointing to go out and some players did play poorly (Mkhi one of them), but a lot of these guys are also the reason why we are so good in the league and in a great position to win...

    2023/2024 Forwards Rumours Thread

    Does anyone know if the newly formatted CL brings in more money than previous iterations (including current)? I know that there are more group stage games, etc. but I assume there is additional participation, prize money, etc.? Not saying that's the reason, but just curious about this.

    Yann Bisseck

    Pavard seems to be fairly good one on ones. I think he can struggle in the air at times - not sure if it's a concentration issue or him just not being particularly great in the air.

    Simone Inzaghi

    I felt like he made a big mistake with the Bastoni-Acerbi sub and even the Dumfries-Darmian one. We had Augusto out and given that Dimarco never plays 90 minutes, not sure it made sense to sub out Dumfries given you knew Dimarco would soon follow - it would mean bringing in two defensive options...

    UEFA Champions League 2023/2024

    47/56 according to transfermarkt. I'm guessing he was the 5th taker?

    Lautaro Martinez

    Interestingly enough, we scored a very similar goal that game to the one yesterday. Bastoni with a cross for a Dumfries diving header, although the ball bounced before Dumfries headed, if I remember correctly.

    Carlos Augusto

    Looks like he was not called up for Brazil for the international break - Bremer also not called up.

    Davide Frattesi

    Hakan has 2 goals from open play actually. Against Napoli and Monza.
