cavani's success @ NAPOLI doesn't make it a mistake for INTER....he's at NAPOLI, not INTER..
he went from performing well at one mediocre club to performing well at another mediocre club.
i hope i don't have to explain the differences in goals/objectives, competition for places, and general pressure that exists between us and other mid-table clubs
if he went to a barca or milan and was performing like this, then it would be a mistake
Times are changing in Italy and it's no longer the 'big 4' of Inter, Milan, Juve and Roma dominating. Napoli, Lazio and Palermo aren't mediocre clubs like they were the past couple years. They're just as ambitious as the other big clubs. The pressure to perform at these clubs is high. Maybe not Inter-like but there's pressure regardless. Hind-sight is 50/50 but seeing how Cavani is performing, not going harder after him was a mistake. He's probably the best forward in Serie A right now.... and he's only 23. Meanwhile, we have a trio of forwards who are playing average or worse football.
I do think Sanchez's price-tag is a bit too much but I don't write him off completely like so many people here do. Every player, except the absolute super-stars is hit or miss in football. Cambiasso was rubbish at Real Madrid and he came to Inter and became one of the best DM's in Europe. Same with Il Muro. Ibra was one of the best forwards in the world and then went to Barca and was a disaster. People need to stop thinking they have a crystal ball in front of them and can look into the future, in regards to how shite or how great a player is gonna be. How a player turns out is pretty random. Especially young players like Sanchez.
