Adriano "l'Imperatore" Leite Ribeiro

Corriere says Adriano has returned from Brazil in amazing form.

No offense, but inter has an abundance of strikers, and should inter receive a fair amount of money for him, sell him.

Lets hope those words are true. Will be a real fairy tale story.

you'd like that wouldn't you, especially seeing the last time Adriano played vs u guys he destroyed u. Sell him to who? Milan? Moratti's not stupid.

Mike, I agree that Adriano has never really been a small player. He has always been big player, but he has growed a lot of fat around his muscles. It seemed to me like from the Brazil pictures he had retained some belly muscles. Though his thies are still fat. Never the less, he has to do something magical to win back my trust, espescially after his latest sayings.

It's his technic what has suffered over the weight gain tbh. He can't control the ball properly, not to talk about scoring vs. two for Udinese goal. There wasn't a better player in world in 2004 tbh, but he let himself go.

" adriano impresses on first day of pre-season "

 

[A.l.i]

He's coming back

 

[Kato]

he's definitely looking a lot better.. last season he was almost looking out of breath and energy after running..

now he looks pretty fit and a lot more toned.. he actually has a defined chin and neck back

 

[Pajo]

I hope he will do good this season.. I still believe in him. Adri - Ibra could be the best striking duo in the world!!!

 

[ILuvInter]

I hope and imagine him linking well with Ibra with suazo on the line...DAAAMMMNN and crespo also..

3 years ago I've always been wondering what would happen if Adriano, Shevchenko and Ibrahimovic played in one team.

We already have Zlatan and Crespo instead of Shevchenko. The only thing missing is the Adriano we had three years ago.

No team can stop the in form triangle: Zlatan-Adriano-Crespo.

I kinda agree with that, but on the other hand, we all know how a great player he is (make that can be), and a striker partnership between Ibra and L'imperatore would be one of the (maybe even the) best of the world.

Also we have Suazo and Crespo, and a great lad like Cruz, we would have the best attack in the world, if we not have it already.

Adriano said he wants to return to being the Emperor! I am swayed! FORZA ADRI!!!!

 

[rockball]

Yes I think this yr he finally will be back....he has got some rest after all these yrs

 

[minterke]

workin hard!!!! If I was Juventus or Milan I'd be shitting my pants

 

[Alex de Large]

so where are the adriano haters?

 

[Suneet]

Still here, see I dont hate the player, I hate his attitude. Read my posts in this thread for the last 2-3 days and you will understand.

I'm happy to see that he's changed his attitude, but I still have doubts if he will continue in this vein all year long. If he does, we are in for trophies big time. But if he doesnt......

 

[Alex de Large]

i don't mean u, i mean the ones who really don't want him even if he comes back.

I dont remember anyone who hates him that much, but he has become the butt of many jokes thanks to his pranks and bad media attention etc.
