Obviously Dumfries is very limited in some ways - he's not particularly fast like Hakimi, nor technically skilled like Cancelo. He's rarely going to beat his man 1-on-1 or whip in crosses like Maicon.

A player like Dumfries is always going to be a volume player. As long as he continues to put himself in the right places at the right time, he'll always get opportunities to make important contributions.

Thankfully, he's making the most of those opportunities which makes up for his deficiencies (for the most part). He's physically very strong, good in the air, a decent finisher, has a good gas tank and most importantly in this system, he's a willing runner and hard worker. He'll be a valuable asset to any team playing with wing backs.

We can't really ask more from him with regards to his offensive game. Sure, he might marginally improve his 1v1 finishing or his crossing but it's in defence where I think he can really improve - namely marking the right players / spaces as he has a tendency to get a little bit lost at times.

So far, considering his fee, he's a 8/10 signing.

Romano said that Inter has no intention to sell him. The only way would be if a crazy offer arrives.


But i guess if a crazy offer comes for any player he will be gone.

I was right about this guy. Lol he can only get better.
I hope the fans have the same patience with Gosens. Completely different player to Perišić, but a good one also. It's just that having both Dumfries and Gosens on the flanks doesn't help because both of them are not creator not technical players who can help with build up. They are very good at attacking with speed and coming late in the box. This and the presence of Romelu should make Inzaghi look at a different style of play, but who knows...he is the coach and I trust him (for now :lol: ). We'll see what happens.

Yea, even I am less confidence in Gosens than Dumfries weirdly, but I am against the belief that they cannot start together cause they both make runs into the box, plus Gosens is actually better at tearing the opponents, not with dribbling but with 1-2, running at half space, and a better player to bounce the ball off. (Once he is up to speed, which I worry he might not ever) Even the way they enter the final third for goal threats are different, Dumfries is more physical domination attacking, and Gosens is more punishing out of position or catching off guard. This combination can mess up the opponents, plus Gosens has good deliveries too, just not shown at inter yet. Overall Gosens is very good team player, which FIF likes to call it a system player.

BTW kinda miss recoba too lol

Lol they can give trouble to teams. They just played two serie b teams and only thing they have shown is nothing. Gossens can be good if you have somebody who can do 12s but inter has guys in midfield who only can run with the ball or cross. Dumfries can not do anything but run with the ball and shoot which would be good if it is going at goal.

We have guys in the midfield, who can assist and score as well. Like Hakan. Do you know him? He came for free from Milan.

Nothing is worse than Juve and Juve fans. Maybe just the golden era Barca fans and the Bayern M fans.

These three groups i can't stand.

Anyway, on Dumfries - he is good, solid. He could have made a killer assists last game, but chose to bitch. I hope he does less bitching in the future and more setting up sitters for Lukaku. Couldn't care less about Lautaro, he will miss them anyways.

Juve's fans are the worst for me. They definitely don't care if get help from referees if this give them the win. Most of them are also so arrogant to think that jube was/is/ will be the best team in the world.
Milan fans ( at least in Bulgarian forum) always believe that there is some conspiracy against their team, if the results do not suit them. Doesn't matter in Italy or in European completion.

But bilanistas are more annoying, just look at this clown who came to this forum. And he is not first bilanista to do that. Coming to forum of other teams to troll and provoke. I would start vomiting if I would need to visit rube or bbeelan forum. Fkn psychos.
