I was watching a few games with Pirlo at Inter in '98/'99, and boy would this forum have ripped the kid apart had he played today. he showed promise and a lot of quick thinking/intelligent play esp when you consider his age, but he made a lot of mistakes. lost the ball constantly.

he didn't deserve to start, farinos or whoever else the fuck, is more in form and deserves to start ahead of him.


sounds familiar? deja vu madafaka

I could already imagine people calling him PirLOL.

Random shots fired in random direction, both Guarin and few posters on this page.

not exactly random as it's more or less the same topic: developing young players at Inter. all the judgemental posters sitting on their perch today would have ripped pirlo to shreds and rationalized his sale to milan.

sub out PirLOL for FariBoss

more like boot him out of the squad, loan him to reggina, and sign 30 year old has-been jugovic instead.

edit; then bring him back after he does well, and chain him to the bench with farinos taking a strenuous dump on the field in his place.

"pirlo plays for midtable reggina. farinos played with valencia that was in the champions league final. theres no question if we want to challenge for scudetto"

"milan wants him? LOL"

he's 20 already, and he is not showing signs of world classness. We need immediate contributors like jugovic who can get us that 5th place.

seriously though, id rather a young player like pirlo that showed intermittent signs of pure gold between inconsistency and some mediocre games, versus an average talent that can only make simple, safe actions and does nothing spectacular. if we want the best young players, we need to take that risk. we are inter, we should only be looking at rough diamonds. Not the gnoukouri's,poli's, but the kovacic's,shaqiri's. they should be the priority.

Or there are some who would have said "he has done well for Brescia (small club) where the pressure is not on him, lets see whether he can do at big club" before buying him. ;)

to be fair the difference in pressure is huge and players react to it differently. for one, the hype of being "il nuovo maldini" probably helped ruin santon's career and is doing the same to de sciglio today. mati silvestre is a great example of a big club choker. dude was solid at palermo and has been solid at samp, while he was a clown at inter. no doubt the pressure of playing at utd also held de gea back in his first year at the club.

edit; though yeah, most players adapt after getting used to the crazy media. its 100% a big generalization to make.

It was just a tongue in cheek comment. It was about how pimp post about Dybala.

Damn, I disrupted the flow of this thread, didn't I?

I'll fix this: Farinos is a top 5 Serie A midfielder everyone.

It's happening now, it's like God gave us Kovacic to make sure whether we have learnt from Pirlo's mistake or not.

These sentences remind me exactly one guy at Inter :pokerface: Wasn't Pirlo pushed higher up as AMC in early stage of his career, before he becomes the best regista?

"but guarin has better stats.."

The fact that you still have to refer to this is hilarious.

You're so butthurt about it lmfao

- - - Updated - - -

My goodness, I just took the time to read this last page. How much attention do you need kid? Let it go, you hashed out your point of view and I put mine out as well. But yet you still are bringing it up to the point where it's really getting annoying.

Also, lets not take things said by other posters out of context because it makes you look........well to be blunt, stupid.

Nobody wants Kovacic to get sold, lets cut the stupid shit right now. The whole point of not giving Kovacic a starting spot is because he still needs to develop and mature into it. But you're too hellbent on arguing and proving your point, that you refuse to see the opposite side. You're on your knees so hard for Kova that I'm surprised you still have time to post in between guzzling sessions.

agreed, we need to clinch dat 7th place

he's 20 already, and he is not showing signs of world classness. We need immediate contributors like jugovic who can get us that 5th place.


Also are you really suggesting to quit trying to get a Europa spot? If so, you're moronic. This late into the season, until we mathematically can't get European football, we should be putting out the best squad that helps us reach that goal.

Oh I see, Farinos should start over Pirlo because Pirlo still needs to develop and mature into it. Of course, Farinos is developed and his end product speaks for itself. Top 5 Serie A midfielder, no doubt. When Pirlo was playing in Reggina last season, Farinos started in a Champions League final.

But if someone offers 20 million euros for Pirlo, we should let him go because he's too raw for our current ambitions of UEFA cup glory. Do you agree?
