2009/2010 Forwards rumours topic

[Omar]

I say we trade Balo + money for Cesc from Arsenal that is the dream.... Mario is a beast but under current management I don't think we can make him World Class

Arnau has not gotten any shots and will cost 10 million euro.... (we don't need another Jimenez). Come next December if any of our 3 starts stop scoring we will just buy another super expensive striker and this kid won't ever get playing time.

although ur assumption is very tempting but i wod rather keep Mario for good ... there's no need to rush him into WC thingy..

and Arna is pretty good for his age, he just needs to improve and adapt in Italy for now, he is a future project, no need to rush too! .. he's got a lovely touch and we shodn't waste him..

 

[skeet]

world cup thingy? you can't be serious

 

[Omar]

World Class mate ...
btw, he'll never wear the Azzurri shirt as long as Lippi is in charge damn u Lippi, still love his ass LOL

i will love lippi more than mourinho if he makes italy champs for the second time in a row

 

[Omar]

i believe he can pazzainteramala ... even without Cassano and Balotelli ... this man has what it takes for it!! .. i just hope he makes few changes to the WC06 squad with some new blood, and then we will rock again ! ... although i fear England who have the biggest number of reliable players!! .. but our Italian stlye defense is much better than theirs ... forza ITALIA!!

id prefer cesc easily over balotelli. the difference in attitude, better talent, realisation of potential AND track record of productivity is worth 25mil + balo. only reason why we put up with him is because:
1. hes italian
2. hes club trained
3. hes only 19
4. hes a black player in a virtually all-white country and racism is always wrong no matter how its disguised

im not an italy fan, i enjoy their pragmatism but i hold no such allegiances to italy and subsequently still think lippi is a giant asshole. in fact, if lippi doesnt include santon and balotelli, ill be rooting against italy

so, aside from australia, im gonna be rooting for argentina or brazil or the asian teams instead

 

[Handoyo]

Cloudy, you forgot to mention that we severely need a midfielder especially of Cesc's class & type while our attack is very potent.

 

[Omar]

guys don't forget the ages of our strikers atm, so u can't trust their "reliability" for next seasons ?

 

[Antonio2810]

"Liverpool believed they had moved ahead of their rivals, who also include Inter Milan and West Ham United, in the race for Chamakh by offering the Morocco player a lucrative pre-contract agreement during intensive talks with his advisers early last month. "

i know that we have enough strikers,but i wouldn't mind if we signed chamakh,he's contract is expiring at the end of the season so he could come for free....

 

[Pajo]

guys don't forget the ages of our strikers atm, so u can't trust their "reliability" for next seasons ?

Not for 5 years, but we can rely on them for at least 2-3 years... So, for now, we are set in the attack...

Eto'o is 28
Pandev is 26

Milito is 30, but he still can give us 2 more good years. SMB as we know is young, so no need to invest in the attack atm...

 

[alvaro]

Chamakahakfdkhakhaha is arsenal player.

pfft! i was only listing reasons why inter are keeping balo instead of selling him for 25+ mil already

id only use him as trade bait, if noone of comparatively similar or better is being offered (ala ibra for eto'o), then we'd rather keep him

if inter trade balo for cesc, i doubt anyone in the italian media would be willing to criticise that trade

I got this from calciomercatonews.com and porta cuore inter's website these guys interviewed a very highly though of mercato expert and hes had a pretty good track record in the past. In this interview he seems fairly certain that Aguero in the summer will be putting on the inter shirt.

[CafeCordoba]

Makes absolutely no sense unless we dump one of our starting strikers (so that leaves Balotelli out).

 

[Luka]

Makes no sense, agreed.

Unless we dump Mario somehow, but even with that it would be strange getting Aguerro, because there would be too many first team strikers in the team, and that could cause the problems within the squad.

I wouldn't believe in this roumor. We're pretty much set in the attack, and in the deffense (except for a left back). If MM will splash some serious cash for someone, it will be deffinetly a midfielder.

 

[Executioner93]

Yes, I totally agree with what u guys r saying. The money it would take for Aguero could be split to buy Hamsik and Gourcuff two wiser investments. In all reality Fabregas is headed to Barcelona to eventually be Xavis long term replacement and to form a 3 man world class midfield for years till the day Xavi retires. Gerrard will never leave Liverpool, even if he did I'd much rather spend that kind of money on a younger generation. If we could have a diamond midfield consisting of Cambiasso, Hamsik, Gorcuff, and Sneijder that's a midfield that could finally produce in Europe. I'm afraid Sneijder isn't going to be enough in Europe this year.

With Aguero if it ends up happening, the only logic is Moratti's obsession with Argentines and Maradona convincing him to make such an investment. Aguero Balotelli and Coutinho the future attack of Inter is very good direction and it's possible that's the thought process there.

Next year in order to get those midfielders or splash all that cash there's no doubt imo Maicon is sold in the summer. We buy Kolarov with Santon on the wings and we make our splash in Midfield its a needed sacrafise.

milan and inter offered benzema at discounted price
http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/tran...offer-milan-inter-karim-benzema-at-discounted


If true i would sell eto'o and get benzema if not im fine with our foward line

 

[Luka]

There are no signs whatsoever we would sell Eto'o.

 

[Omar]

Benzema still has potential unlike Eto.. i would love to swap them

 

[Luka]

Eto'o is established world class player. He might not be playing up to his standard at Inter, but he ain't doing anything worth dumping him.

Benzema has pottential, but he already is struggling at Real, in spanish league, which is easier for a striker than italian one.

Don't get me wrong, if we were in a situation when we would need a striker, I would be all for it, and I think we would go for him. But currently, we're set in attack. Maybe incouple of years when Milito will start to be more of a bench player, than a first team player, we will go for Benzema, if he will still be available.
