2013/2014 Forwards Rumours Thread

[Pajo]

Just quote of my post in other thread:

Why would we get Lavezzi anyway? If we do being forward then it should be a CF, finisher, not winger/SS. We have Palacio for that. Lavezzi is Palacios direct replacement for the Argentinean NT.

We didn't get Lavezzi when we should have, now at the age of almost 29, we surely should not get him.

I dont want Lavezzi either. Not because he is bad player or something, i am huge fan of him, but because he would be luxury that's not needed.

 

[JJM]

currently our SS is Guarin if we get Lavezzi he will be the SS supporting Palacio and Lavezzi>>>>>Guarin

so yes sir can I haz...:megusta:

stop pretending that Lavezzi or Dzeko or even Osvaldo wouln't strengthen the team people!

We have Icardi as a CF...Why are people writing him off so quickly, he's had 2 goals and Mazzari still hasn't given him a single start yet...

The way we treat our youngsters is absolute garbage. From Pirlo to Coutinho, it's never gonna end if we don't have patience.

This.

Boom II:

SKY BOOM: "Contatti avviati tra Mazzarri e Lavezzi. C'è l'ok del Pocho per trasferirsi già a gennaio"

Come to Baba!

As for what I think, I want short terms solutions atm, Im sick of youth projects, fuck on this rate Im gona die before we complete any fucken youth project. I think we could still develop the young having veterans on the field too.

We need more experienced players to carry the team in the times of need. the more they are on the field, the more chances we get not to lose or draw, I wana win Im sick of this shit!

 

[Wallace]

I agree, Lavezzi will bring in much experience and refined skills that actually delivers something.

Having him at SS is definitely better than Guarin, while having Alvarez at CM.

Our two previously best purchases in the forward department also happened to be at the age of 29, it's no coincidence that players at this age will be playing at their best game, perfect chance for us to reinforce in a way that can help us overtake Napoli.

 

[Solfice]

Would love to see him play in Inter shirt!

 

[capitano92]

Might be time to open up a Lavezzi thread by the sounds of it.
I'm all for the move. A proven goal scorer.
And as much as i love Milito, anybody who thinks he is going to come back and constantly score goals is kidding themselves.
Lavezzi in....for the right price!!

 

[interista1982]

no lavezzi when we have great youngsters in team like belfodil. in january just bring naigolan honda and dzeko if salary cut and that is it. no lavezzi or anybody else they had chance to come to inter but they chose psg so stay there or go somewhere else. and if anything next summer is a clear out of inter and youth inter players are bein promoted to first team to see where we at.

 

[Fapuccino]

while having Alvarez at CM.

Tbh Alvarez' best position is SS. He's just not as good in midfield. He's not horribly bad, but his true asset is that he can weave in and out in tight spaces around the box and provide that final ball. Not to mention his constant drifting from flank to flank is much more suited for a central attacking midfield player, than a CM where you have defensive duties as well. When he's far away from the striker, you're really not getting the best of him.

Yeah, Lavezzi's known to score many goals... I'm sure that if Milito returns and plays, he'd still score more then Lavezzi would.
Nevertheless, Lavezzi would create lots of danger and create more opportunities. A welcome signing, not a necessary one, but a welcome one.

Honda signed for AC MILAN, you still don't get it do you?

Inter youth players being promoted?




promoted to co-own deal resulting in a sell of 5m.

Either way, Lavezzi would be great for us. But what plan does Mazzarri has with him? I mean, he only plays with 1 striker and 1 offensive midfielder?

An attack of


--------------- Palacio ---------------
---- Alvarez ----------- Lavezzi -----

is :fap: though.

Belfodil/Icardi are fucked if Milito stays.

No use telling me, tell that to Mazzarri.

Mazzarri sees it more fitting to have Alvarez in CM and Guarin as SS.

Reason is simple, Alvarez does well in helping out the defense, and making good decisions in his dribbling and passing to keep our possession. It is his reliability and consistency that makes it count as a CM, which cannot be found at the moment in Guarin or Kovacic.

As of this moment, it is better to have Alvarez in CM than either Guarin or Kovacic, purely from the team's perspective. The prior is completely unreliable with poor decision making to be playing CM, while the latter is not playing his best game atm.

Thus if we're getting Lavezzi, then it makes complete sense to put Alvarez where he already is playing for Mazzarri, unless we are changing formation.

I personally would prefer a CF rather than an SS. I'm not really sure what another midget is going to do with all the fine crosses our wingbacks whip in. Unless of course Lavezzi changes the way we would play completely.

 

[Kakaroto]

Add Vucinic to the list. The media is trolling you guys.

 

[Shaun]

Surely we should be going for someone younger who has the potential to be world class, rather than older players who are just very good/great, but are only going to get worse. I feel we should be rolling the dice rather than playing conservative bets.

 

[Kakaroto]

Its as if the club hasn't been sold....I wonder why??

I'm keeping an open mind and won't react to any of the rumors I just don't know about Thohir enough to guess what he's gonna do. I have to see his first few moves to get a sense of what he wants.

Luciano Vietto and Rodrigo would be my two personal targets for the CF position

Roberto Firmino could be an interesting option for the SS

That being said, I'd rather have a stacked midfield or defence than forward line tbh, why I'd prefer we focus on Nainggolan/Dembele, Banega, and Obiang (although the chances of all three respective transfers occurring are ZERO).

And regardless, I feel Mazzarri hasn't been getting enough of our current squad tbh; we've become very one dimensional and dependent on individual brilliance, and that won't change with better players.

 

[I4E]

I've found the last couple pages quite interesting.

Should we bring Lavezzi to Inter ? ABSOLUTELY !



As for the discussion around 'SS' and 'CF', do people here actually realise that these two 'positions on paper' are actually same ?! There isn't anything much that differentiates these two positions (from a players ability point of view).

Im not writing him nor Belfodil off. Those two are the main reason why i don't want a forward buy in the january, considering Milito will come back eventually too.

Of course they are different. The required skillset to play in both positions are totally different. Lavezzi is winger, a creative SS, not a goalscoring thread. We have that player in Palacio, even Ricky. If something, we need a CF, someone who can score. Lavezzi and Palacio can't co-exist together, not in 2 men forward line. Lavezzi is Palacios sub for the Argentinean NT...

As I said, Lavezzi is good player, but at this point a luxury we don't actually need. Plus he would be expensive, has huge wage, and has zero resale value.

the SS/CF post wasn't within context of the Lavezzi discussion.

What I was trying to say with that is, that these two 'roles' can be easily covered by one player. For example Palacio can easily play either of these two roles/positions. To use other players as an example, Eto, Rooney and even Ibrahimovic.
