Geoffrey Kondogbia

[Javier'sSon]

I'm happy with how we played but where does that leave Kondogbia?

I can't see him replicating Medel's type of role.

 

[Ziyad]

With a midfield more comfortable on the ball he will feel less tense and shine. Mark my words

 

[Nyall]

In a game like this we need the pure DM more than a two way midfielder. Change made perfect sense.

In a game that would have defined our season, our coach saw no use for our 40 million euro player.

Where do you put him? Who sits for him? Banega, Medel and JM >>>>>> anything he has to offer.

We need a destroyer playing alongside Banega and JM, at least that's what I think de Boer believes. If so, it's really difficult to see how Kondogbia fits in.

 

[Ronin]

I think he'll have his chance next week with Banega missing. He'll play alongside Medel and J. Mario will move up front to replace Banega.

 

[Ziyad]

We will have to rotate and he will get his chances either as a starter or off the bench. What I mean is that once he has players open to him whenever he has the ball he won't panic and play calmer eventually. I refuse to believe that all players improved since Mancio and the addition of Banega except for him. Let's not forget he had good performances last year and his presence last year won us more points than his absence.

So basically you're in denial that he's shit.

 

[Ronin]

Do you have any other argument besides 'he is shit'? You keep praising Kovacic but it's not like he did anything more than Kondogbia when he had his time here.

For certain matches, maybe. But not all matches. And certainly not against 90% of the opposition we'll face this season.

 

[Ziyad]

Some people are negative just to come back and say I told you so...i rather be optimistic and hope the investment pays off, and seeing what he is capable of I think there is enough evidence that he will. His price irks a lot as if they paid from their own pocket and as if 30 million or 35 is a lot in today's market. Unfortunately the press and some "fans" made that a big issue that it actually got to him I think

see previous pages :work:

Excuse you? Kovacic was twice the player this guy has been for us. There's a reason why Kova is a European Champion playing for Real Madrid and this guy is a pathetic flop who's lucky to get playing time over Melo. Last week when we needed a goal we didn't use him. Midweek we saw no use for him. And today when we needed to defend a goal we didn't use him.

 

[JJM]

Sub for Mario if he gets fatigued but Mario is much,much smarter doe
This kid needs to learn from JoaoM or else he will have a hard time and we could have a big problem,35 mil one

JoaoM>>>>Kondo
Banega>>>>Brozo

Kova is a bench warmer at Madrid, that's what he is. Melo was played over him cause Melo is a DM and Kondogbia is a B2B.

You can't really learn football IQ, otherwise Guarin would have won the Ballon d'Or already.

Or maybe some people have eyes and have no problem calling shit, shit. Being optimistic won't make a player good. We have matches to win, and competitions to qualify. I've had enough of these average at best players having such important roles in this team.

P.S. blindly or optimistically supporting mediocrity doesn't make you anymore of a fan than anyone on this board. Him being shit led to us reacting to his shittiness.

Bench warmer at Madrid > bench warmer at Inter.

Midweek we saw no use for him because he's not in the EL squad...and don't even try to say that's because he's shit.

 

[R_20]

He's not shit, he played well for his previous clubs and definitely has talent. He has inter syndrome, shaky club with huge pressure to preform on a young player and he chokes. It's been happening to players in this club for years.

Hopefully FDB can slowly integrate him into the squad amd build up his confidence, he can definitely contribute to the team.

Wasn't even aware of that.. So basically he has no purpose in this team except as a cover for the first team.

 

[JJM]

He has some nifty football skills like exceptional dribbling out of trouble.However as a young dude still lacks the final pass,not everyone is a Joao Mario natural smart player who reads the game like a coloring book...He has confidence issues thanks to Manshitni

FDB should be concerned with winning, not changing the way he entire team plays to try accommodate one of the biggest flops in Inter history.
