Defensive woes

[Hasan]

Our defence is established like this, we can't change much, maybe little more versality would be good, and players like Chivu or Heinze would be nice to have, in that case Grosso is out and if Mancini trusts in Andreolli, Samuel out too.

It's not good to have too much experienced, good players in roster, Samuel is definitely unhappy with this sason and he would be stupped if he stays another season.

 

[Suneet]

you people made my day!

Sell Cordoba, Sell Matrix, Sell Samuel, Sell Grosso.

just remove the word sell and you get a world-class defence on their day. 2 of which are World Champions by the way.

 

[Sassuolu]

Okay, I've got a.. nono THE solution, of all our problems, in defence, at least..

Sell Grosso. He has probably been the worst Inter player of this season. We expected alot from him- he hasn't proven him self worthy of my mercy.
Sell Cordoba. When he was young, he was fast.. Now he's old, and misses the 's'.
Get rid of Samuel. We never use "The Wall", and with reason. Materazzi has been fantastic this year- and Samuel isn't good enough- not the player we saw in Rome. Bye bye, "the wall"!(I loove the album, though.)
Get rid of Materazzi. He's too old.. Sorry, but a guy in his age, isn't stable..
Now, Burdisso. I like Burdisso- and I like to see him as a future captain. He has the quality of being tough. Can't explain further- I hope you agree, anyways.

Now.. Who to buy?
I'd like to see these players in the defence next season...
Chivu: Unrealistic, but Wouw! He would be extremly nice to have. And I think he can play LB, am I right?
Mexés: Unrealistic too... but Wouw! He would (also) be extremly nice to have.
Heinze: Man U manager Mourinho (;-) got ya) Ferguson has said, that he would sell Heinze- if he liked the offer..
Bouhlarouz: Yeah, he is also a very tough player. Has had a TERRIBLE season at Chelski- but perhaps his toughness would help Inter?

That leaves us with the starting line-up:

Maicon-Burdisso-Chivu/Mexés-Heinze.
I know, it SUCKS that Maxwell isn't in the starting-11.. cope with it ..

Anyhow, Inter need stars.. Stars in defence, and a star in the attack, and possible attacking midfielder. Juve's return to Serie A, could cause Inter a great deal of trouble- not to mention Milan, Fiorentina and Roma.. So (never thought I should say this..) Moratti, BUY!

Were you the guy who sold Pirlo :dielaugh:

Please let us not lose our heads and disrupt a winning team. Cordoba had one bad season after 8 very good ones and he is only 30. I remember less than 2 years ago he was our best defender. Last year against Ajax in the CL he was the player who kept us alive. He is still one of the fastest players in Serie A and every so often I see him on the list of SerieA team of the week, even this weekend. Please stop overeacting, I remember at the start of this season after a few bad games ppl wanted to sell Dejan and wanted to release Mancini. On his day Grosso is one of the best LBs in the world, and Maxwell is extremely consistent. There are very few great LBs right now and we have 2, 3 if you include Nico, 4 if you include Zanetti. Burdisso is one of the most versatile defenders around, He is our 3rd CB, 2nd RB, 3rd LB, 5th CM and scores gols. We can loan Andreolli out for a season to improve, because he will get better. Samuell had an injury hit season, but when he was fit he was fantastic. Matrix is brilliant but we cant count on him for more than 2 seasons. I am concerned tho while we have the most solid midfield in the world, One of the top 3 strike forces, Julio Cesar who is getting better every game and is Brazil's no. 1, our defence atm doesn't match. I think we just need one top player like Heinze in defence not a crazy selling and buying spree like we have often had which do more harm than good. next season I forsee Grosso coming good, Nico coming good, Cordoba and Samuell getting back to thier old selves.

 

[interista]

Let me remind you guys that in football not just 4 people are defending but the whole team. We celebrated little too hard and lost concetration, our defence is more than.

 

[1919]

Cordoba has had 2 and a half bad seasons ... and we shud keep him only as 4th CD and if we r not to give Andreolli a more substantial role this season

 

[Jacquez]

Sure.
So. What's so retarded about my post? Besides getting rid of Materazzi (that was probably the most idiotic thing, ever to be written in fora..) ? Cordoba.. he's nothing but an average player. So, why not use Chivu or Mexés instead?
Grosso, he has played like horse shit, this season. Heinze, he is good- better than Grosso..
Samuel deserves more, than being a benchwarmer. But he's NOT the same player we saw in Rome!
that list of players that I wanted to see in Inter? Did you think, that I ment all of them? No, I did not. I came with ideas..


To be honest, I can't see what is so retarded about my post. Not one of you have told me, what was wrong with it, so perhaps it doesn't suck as much, as you were saying?

:-|


Btw, it's spelled Cuchu, mon amis szasza02.. not chuchu..

 

[M.Adnan]

Cordoba.. he's nothing but an average player. So, why not use Chivu or Mexés instead?

Simple.

Samuel > Chivo.
Samuel > Mexes.

Burdisso > Chivo.
Burdisso > Mexes.

Materazzi > Chivo.
Materazzi > Mexes.

This means that we already have 3 defenders better than Mexes and Chivo.

This means that Chivo or Mexes will come here as a 4th choice defender.

This means that we'll sell Grosso + Pizarro + $$ just to sign a 4th choice defender.

Don't you think that Cordoba atleast worthes to be the 4th defender? is he THAT bad?

But..

Chivo could be signed as replacement for Grosso, not one of our CD. He could be useful as a defensive LB, and a 4th CB.

:star::star::star:

Adnan said pretty much what I thought. But expect a debate on whether Mexes is really inferior to Burdisso. It's probably a close call but Nico has the Inter heart so he wins out for me.

 

[Jacquez]

Adnan

Well, am I supposed to just nod and say 'Sorry' because your opinion is, that Cordoba, who gives.. is better than Mexés?
Btw, there is a reason, that i called Matrix 'old' ten times, in my previous post. He is old!!! He doesn't last two seasons more.. Chivu or Mexés, they'd last 4 or 5 seasons- least.. and we would still be able to squeeze some money out of 'em when their contracts are nearly expired. I agree with ya'll about Burdisso- and OMFG, if I didn't have him on my want-to-have-inter-defence. Burdisso could partner up with Mexés- or Chivu or any other fwording defender, who has the skills to do on Inter's god damn team! My main point, has always been, that Inter needs a good defender.
Heinze-Chivu/Mexés-Burdisso-Maicon.

I can't see, what is so diffus to understand???:wallbang:

Hey, perhaps I should just use your way..

Chivu>Cordoba
G. Heinze>Cordoba, Grosso, Maxwell
Mexés>Samuel


None of you retard-callings people, have said why you say what you say.

 

[Hussein]

Chivu will be a "good addition" to the squad and he could be a long-term solution for the the aging Materazzi. He's cool headed and he could fit as a left back as well.

His versitality gives him the edge over other young defenders.

 

[Barbas]

roma fans will burn their presiden alive if chivu and mexes is sold at the same time.

:wallbang:


I didn't read the rest of your post when I saw this. Where did I say that Cordoba is better than Mexes?

 

[M.Adnan]

Samuel and Burdisso are the solution for the aging Materazzi.

Chivo will be Samuel's back-up, and a good choice on the left flank.

That's a lack of respect, I think. I misquoted, so sorry, /cutwrist. Frankly, I dont give a damn, because that wasn't my point. You just say, that these players are better than those players. What can't be explained can't be defended.
Should we call this quits, or do you want some more bitch fight?:howler:


By the way:
What would you have replied, if I said Samuel? Then I'd have the answer I was looking for..

 

[Miki]

I can't believe some of you are describing the team's defensive capabilities for the next season in rather calamitous terms. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our defence, save for the uncertainty in knowing if the backline is capable of replicating this campaign's great run, or at least for most of the season.

Up to our recent dip in form, our defence was performing superbly; in fact, at a point in the season, we were the team conceding the fewest goals in the league.

As individuals, Materazzi, Cordoba, Samuel, Burdisso, et al. aren't slouches - they have been great working with and without their teammates. Moreover, looking toward Roma's defenders as suitable candidates for replacements isn't exactly a solution for our fictional problems. Might I point out that Roma have only conceded 3 less goals than Inter this season?
Consequently, what makes you think Chivu & Mexes are any better than our current defenders, enough to usurp the starting roles of Materazzi, Burdisso, etc.?

Ciao,
Tim

If you think that Mexes is better than Samuel, and Chivo is good enough to replace Materazzi instead of Samuel, then it's your own opinion..

 

[Jacquez]

Okay, let's get one thing clear. Samuel is a good player, there is a reason he is called "the wall". There is also a reason he is on the bench.

Well, as you said, you opinion is yours (and probably the rest of forza-inter.com) and mine is mine..

EDIT:

Sorry, Tim, didn't see your post. I have said this, in my last 5 or 6 posts- Chivu is a replacement, for an old Materazzi, and maby it could be Mexés, or any other world-class defender. When Merda comes back with full strenght, and probably with Ronaldinho (what do I know) or someone, and Juventus, Fiorentina with no minus points, Roma, Lazio, we are back in 3rd place and Merda & Juventus will dominate yet again, the Italian league. It's so naive to say, that we'll be just fine, with our currently defence, when they're back.
I don't want us to spend like the 100's of million pounds we spent back in the early 2000. I want us to buy good, lasting reinforcements. I'm thinking of the future!

On behalf of this forum, I am going to sell you to a team called Pluto United.

 

[Jacquez]

Yeah, sure- including transfer budget?
