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.

I could already imagine people calling him PirLOL.
"but guarin has better stats.."
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.
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.
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.
It's happening now, it's like God gave us Kovacic to make sure whether we have learnt from Pirlo's mistake or not.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.

agreed, we need to clinch dat 7th place

The fact that you still have to refer to this is hilarious.
You're so butthurt about it lmfao

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.
