2024/2025 Midfielders Rumours Thread

[Nerazzurri_Ninja]

Always is definitely a stretch, there certainly been periods where Italy lacked talent, the current have a very small talent base.

Next gen look better, but doing well in U17, U19 don’t mean much if they don’t take the final step, it’s seen before that success there don’t necessarily translate to doing well on senior level.

I stand by what i said, ALWAYS

Nice! I like him. I had made a post about him earlier in the season.

Very well actually. Level is obviously low but he's really impressing there. He mostly plays as a #10 or as a playmaker in double pivot. Excellent technique, good vision, good finishing and very good at free kicks. 6 goals and 4 assists this season. In terms of style he reminds me of a young David Silva. Parma are big favorites to get promoted so i am curious to see him in Serie A next season.

what happened to the saralegui links, wouldnt mind some Zenon links from boca as well.

cool with bernabe links, we could prob use a spaniard

would be happy with thurams younger brother

still want a new Italian

Guarro saying theres nothing going on with Bernabe.

Demans FOR the midfielder, not FROM the midfielder

I've also read that it's the America's salary request that has put off Inter.

Venezia want 7M for this transfer, which can be easily reached with Orsitanio going to other way.

@CafeCordoba apologize to Tanner

Sky report that Tessmann’s wage demands are higher than Inter would consider to be appropriate.

EDIT: Tuttosh1t report that Venezia are offering Inter a straight swap between Tessmann and Oristanio

However, the Nerazzurri are not overly keen on such a transfer.

Therefore, that could open the door to other clubs with an interest in Oristanio’s signature.

And according to Tuttosport, that means that Hellas Verona are ready to enter the race.

Inter want to keep control of Orsitanio by maintaining a buy-back clause.

Well that's new

Who needs Tessman, we have Fabbian

Ehm nope, Fabbian was sold for €5M last summer. His transfer market value is now €14M.

we can buy him back for 12M in 2025.

 

[CafeCordoba]

If Tessman is more of a defensive midfielder, Fabbian is nothing like him. Fabbian is very offensive midfielder, he was used more as an offensive weapon in the past season.

 

[varmin]

Fabian is just like Frattesi. I doubt that we will get him back with our current tactics.
Maybe only if we sell Frattesi for big money, we can get him as impactful sub

I know, was just mentioning that we don't technically have him. We'd need to pay for him and I don't see that happening unless he turns into something wild.

Fabbian indeed is a goal-scoring attacking midfielder and we're trying to sell even the current one (Carboni).

Don't know why people look much into "midfielder type". Flat midfield roles could be learnt and adapted. Not like changing from the right wing to the left wing.

To be more specific, most of our midfielders don't play where they supposed to. Mikhy was a number-10 at Dortmund, Hakan was behind the striker at Milan. Also Brozovic was a failed AMC at first before being pulled deeper.

Fabbian did play exactly at Tessman place in our Primavera team, DM or DLP. He should be versatile enough.

I really doubt he played Tessman's ROLE there. Maybe the position was closer to that (though it seems it was mezzala, not DM in the middle9 but I simply doubt he played some defensive role. Scored 8 goals in Primavera season, scored 8 goals in Reggina season. Now 5 goals in Bologna season. At least in Bologna, he was purely in an offensive role.

Why DM in the first place? Our 3-5-2 doesn't use a DM, so it's more like Tessman doesn't fit the tactics and must change. While Fabbian is already there, in theory.

You guys are suggesting skipping our kid for Tessman as "he is more suitable"...that's going the other way wrong.

Tessmann and Fabian are simply different type of players. Tessmann is more defensively oriented and Fabbian is offensively oriented. There's no reason trying to confuse these facts.

Tessmann is marked as DM in Transfermarkt (yes, I haven't seen him play) so I assume he plays a defensive role for Venezia. Fabbian played very offensive role for Bologna (some of Bologna's games I did see) and he's marked as AM in Bologna games. I'm fairly certain he did around the same thing in Reggina, scoring those 8 goals.

These players are for different purposes, they are not mutually exclusive.

I remember watching Bologna Lazio game, Fabbian even played forward against Lazio. Zirkzee plays as a deep lying forward, roaming and dropping back, therefore Fabbian shifted to striker most of the time.

During his time in Primavera, he usually played as a right-sided central midfielder.

Modern players now can, and have to, do many roles. There is no pure-DM anymore. They have to be jack-of-all-trades, especially in our flat midfield.

We don't have the resources, nor slots to occupy one for all the dirty work then other two attacks.

That's why you shouldn't stonewall Fabbian AM or Tessman DM. Our kid can play deeper or higher, young enough to learn defending. Like Hakan or Mikhy.

Yeah kid can do that, in 10 years.

I wouldn't mess up with a kid by trying to fit him to different roles when he has found his role so far. Minor adjustments are always there but shifting Fabbian to be a defensive player when his main trait is scoring goals doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
