2009/2010 Midfielders rumours topic

[Pulsar36]

Bad news for anyone wanting a midfield that can improve our team for next year:

To half week we would already have to be able to introduce Jimenez while as far as Rivas and Kovac we are working, is issue of days "

Moratti's words to TGCOM

 

[snake]

We smashed Serie A, 17 in a row and only got screwed in CL cause of injuries. All we need this year in covers, other then that why the fukc should we change anything big in out team?

Inter fans never learn.

 

[Pulsar36]

You are right. Inter fans don't learn. Complacent as always. Think of why we lost against Valencia. Some creativity would have come in handy to break the game open in Spain. 0-0.

 

[minterke]

Not really, I saw plenty of creativity in the 2-2 draw at the San Siro, we just didn't have a good game at the Mestalla shit like that happens bro. You can't spend 20 million on a player because we had 1 or 2 bad games the entire year.

 

[Wallace]

We didn't lose the game in Mestalla solely because of lack of creativity.

We are missing a Recoba-like player, who can decide a match by himself and change the flow of the game.

we lost (well, drew ... bt its as good as a loss) bcoz Ibra was nt effective in 2nd leg ... and u cant argue the influence Ibra has had in the past season ...

imagine him injured for 2 months. We need a cover for him, desperately ... and he wont be Suazo

 

[punk's not dead]

we don't have to buy too much player and screw the stability of the team!!all we need is a player just like kovac or maresca because in the game against valencia we lacked a pure mdf we were obliged to put burdisso in there.
we need also a defender a good one to play in CL because of the disqualification of cordoba,maicon,burdisso...

Well, good luck finding a cheap, world class creative player who's ready to step in only when Ibra's injuried!

imo, we have the potential Ibra replacement already in our squad; Adriano. Now that we've decided to keep him, why buy another midfielder? I know what you're thinking, "Adri won't ever come back". Ok, he might not, but why the hell should we buy a world class player and rotate him with our already packed midfield, when we have a possible star in our ranks without exceeding reasonable limits of numbers in our squad? We have four spots in midfield, and atm, five to mainly rotate. If we buy another classy midfielder, we'll have six!

And btw, has everyone forgotten that Figo decided to stay? Perhaps that's the reason why Adriano got this last (?) chance?

 

[Wallace]

Adriano cannot handle the creative role that Ibrahimovic has been handling last season. Don't be fooled by the number of assists he made this season, statistical significance is always irrelevant to practical significance.

nt really ...

1. someone to keep pushing Ibra,
2. giving the option to rest Ibra,
3. play both when play with 3 strikers,
4. and of course to step in big time in case of an injury

Who do you have in mind?

Adriano cannot handle the creative role that Ibrahimovic has been handling last season. Don't be fooled by the number of assists he made this season, statistical significance is always irrelevant to practical significance.

If Adriano is on form he doesn't directly replace Ibra, but he offers goals galore. And if he scores like crazy, like he did, the creativity isn't needed.

 

[Wallace]

If, if, if...so many ifs.

I'm not ready to depend on some one who can only give confidence to his fans by offering memories in the past.

 

[M.Adnan]

What creativity are talking about? How did Milan win the CL with Gilardino and Inzaghi?

They only have Kaka. We have Ibra, Suazo, Adriano, Figo and recently Jimenez.

We have creative fullbacks. We have Maicon and Maxwell. Milan have much less creative fullbacks, Oddo and Jankulovski.

You're seriously underestimating Cambiasso's attacking abilities. Go watch his assist in our last game against Empoli.

Are you seriously blaming our lack of creative midfielders for the draw in Valencia? I doubt you even watched that game, we had Zanetti, Dacourt, Burdisso and Stankovic in the midfield. We didn't win because we had 2 defenders and 1 injuried defensive midfielder starting that game. Vieira, Cambiasso and Figo didn't play. One of them would be enough to win.

A proof? three days later we played against the "European Champions" with only adding Figo to that midfield, you know how good we played.

Jimenez is enough, and a DM for the bench will be more than enough.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

I completely agree with you. But there are many ifs regarding a new player as well. Price tag, wage, too great luxury, quality, wish for guaranteed starting spot and the risk of not coping with the expectations. A player suiting all these demands doesn't exist, I think.

So my conclusion is that it's better with one "if" player than two. Because to replace/back-up Ibra we need a world class player, who obviously won't be content with that role, he'll demand a starting spot no matter what. Figo this year, a newbie 2008/2009. Why is everyone forgetting him?

 

[Azzkikr]

Are you joking adnan??, seedorf, pirlo and kaka are all more creative than any of our midtfielders, figo aside, not to mention better passers.

 

[Pulsar36]

Look. If we are not going to get a high profile player, then the VERY LEAST we can do is buy a cheap Cassano for 1-2 million, as it would give us a good option at the CAM and Ibra sub positions. We don't want to change our style when Ibra is out to one with 2 CFs or a combo with no real secondo punto.

 

[Michal]

Yes, that's why they lost both derbies last season. Our midfield was our key to Scudetto and all that records last season. Our defence and attack worked incredibly well, too but thank to our S.W.A.T. team in midfield there was a huge gap (about 30 points) between Inter and that other team from Milano. **** Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaká.

 

[M.Adnan]

Seedorf and Pirlo suck. They don't do anything but playing long passes to average strikers like Gilardino and Inzaghi.

Pirlo and Seedorf are overrated and they did NOTHING when they faced Inter last season, in both derbies.

Kaka is everything in Milan. He's better than Ronaldinho. Milan wouldn't beat Celtic without him. His 10 goals in Champions League are why Milan reached the final (plus their defensive players), not because of Pirlo, and not because of Seedorf.

btw, I don't see Barcelona winning anything last season despite having creative midfielders like Ronaldinho and Deco.

Creative midfielders are not the only way to win.

 

[Azzkikr]

Well im not going to argue why milan lost and finished why they did, since im not a milan fan, but it has nothing to do with what i said anyways.

You have to be fairly clueless if you disagree with what i said about them being more creative players, milan winning or losing last season is totally irrelevant in this comparison.

 

[Azzkikr]

Creative midfielders are not the only way to win.

No one is saying that, we want a balanced midtfield. As of now, we lack the creative am to make it balanced.
