Its up to the management yes? Who the **** else? what i want, what you want, what your grandma wants in the mercato is completely irrelevant. This is a ****ing forum, we are supposed to discuss what actually happends, not what we would like happen based on absolutely nothing, thats fantasy football. And what do you know about the intentions on the management when making these transfer? Suazo obviously wasnt bought to be a starter. Will that improve the starting 11? no, was he bought with intention? no. I know that, you know that and the management knows it.
Welcome to the forum Azz.
Nice to have you here but you should chill out some with the insulting comments. To slip up once or twice is one thing but to have amassed such an impressive magnitude of insulting posts, in such a short period of time is really tempting the triggerfingers of our mods.
About Suazo. I can very easily explain to you why he was bought since I think it's obvious.
First, Suazo does improve our starting eleven. This is a man who just a year ago was voted best foreign player of the year alongside Kaka. That's proof of his quality right there.
If you take a look at our forwards you will see that we really only have one reliable player. Ibra. He delivers 90% of the time and is also fit to play 90% of the time.
Adriano and Recoba aren't reliable for reasons evident to anyone who watches football.
While Crespo delivers he is more and more becoming injury prone and not to mention he's on the short end of the evolutionary chart since he's aging. He's there to score which he does better then most but he can't dribble or pass to save his life, which is a huge negative imo.
Cruz is even more injury prone and not good enough to be a starter at Inter anyways. He's the perfect loyal sub and I adore him for it. But he's not a starter.
Now with Suazo you get a player who not only can score, dribble and pass but also has speed. He's incredibly quick the first ten yards and that is something we've been lacking up intill now. Not to mention he already knows the Italian game like the back of his hand so he doesn't need to get accustomed to it. Frankly, realisticly I couldn't think of a better forward to buy that has Serie A experience.
Now it's tough to speculate whether or not we will actually play with three forwards but if we do he will go directly into our starting eleven next to Ibra and Crespo/Adriano. If we don't the only thing that will keep him out(provided that our forward line remains as it is) is either a severe drop in form on his part or a drastic rise in form in Adri.
Some of you may say that I'm forgetting about Crespo but I believe Crespo was never bought to start. He was bought to sit on the bench and to come in if Adriano didn't deliver. This is the conclusion I have come to after seing Adriano and Ibra start the first couple of matches in the previous season, and also after Crespo was benched after Adriano had a rise in from in January. After that he only got to start when Adri was injured or was coming back from injury. But it's clear that he was our third option and therefore probably our fourth now.
Another thing I'm sure our management considered when buying Suazo is how he will fit into our team on a social level. The team has found harmony the last year or so and buying a big name player like Eto'o or Drogba, has a higher risk factor of damaging that harmony then buying a player from a smaller team who understands he will be forced to fight for a starting spot, rather then demanding a spot from day one.
This is a perfect buy Imo. The worst thing our managememt could do is buy a bunch of big stars and radicly change our starting lineup which is good as it is, and by doing so stress and scare a majority of our players. The buy of Suazo doesn't put any pressure on players who don't need it. It will probably mean that Cruz will leave as I don't see him accepting to be fifth in the pecking order. I dig Cruz for his loyalty and good spirit but this is a buisness and not a popularity contest. Shortly put it's an acceptable loss when taking into consideration what we get in return. Maybe he'll stay but I don't see it happening.
Your idea of buying players who are Nr 1 and not five and six is exactly what Juventus and Milan wants us to do, because short term(1-2 seasons) it would do more damage then good.
