That means we have a squad of 32 players. That sure is a difference since what Facchetti said about having a 25-men squad.

Depth squads:

Here are the depth squads. Of course based on what I might think we will play this season, along with how I think Mancini is thinking.

Starting Lineup

2nd Lineup

3rd Lineup

Re: Depth squads:

You mean 3 right? :grin:

Fabio

 

[Fabio]

It's amzing how in our third team we have players with the ability such as:

Cruz
Karagounis
Pasquale
Gamarra
Ze Maria

!!!!!!!!

Wow,well thats the squad that will either take us to glory or lose us all our pride (or whats left of it!). :stress:

Fabio :doh:

 

[Mikkel]

almoste 3..Anyway Dellafiore and Biati are not in the squad list. And I daubt that he will use Vieri and Adriano at the same time. here is mine

---------------------Toldo--------------------
J.zanetti-Cordoba-Matrix/Burdisso-Favalli
--Ze Maria--Davids--Veron--Stankovic----
---------------Adriano---(Martins/Recoba)-

Vieri will only play when Adriano is injured or needs a rest.

Matrix and Burdisso will share that position
Martins and Recoba will do the same

 

[J zanetti]

Playing Adriano and Bobo at the same time would be a suicidal move.

I was hoping Mancini will understand this issue. But unfortunatly he seem to be bussy trying to create starting roles for his buddies (Mihajlovic, Bobo) so I wouldnt be surprise if I see Bobo alongside Adrinao against Chievo!
Anyhow Jimmy, Im fully with you on your " main"starting lineup but the front 2. I will have either Oba or Chino next to Adriano depending on their form.

 

[Fabio]

Here are my 3 lineups -

1st lineup

----------------------------TOLDO----------------------------
----ZANETTI----BURDISSO----CORDOBA----FAVALLI----
-----ZE MARIA----DAVIDS----VERON----STANKOVIC----
--------------ADRIANO--------------MARTINS--------------

2nd lineup

---------------------CARINI(FONTANA)--------------------
---COCO---MATERAZZI---MIHAJLOVIC---PASQUALE---
----VAN DER MEYDE----EMRE---CAMBIASSO---KILY----
-----------------VIERI----------RECOBA-------------------

3rd lineup

-------------------FONTANA(CORDAZ)------------------
----DELLAFIORE----GAMARRA----GIANI----COCO----
---KARAGOUNIS---ZANETTI---BEATI---REBECCHI---
------------------CRUZ------CHOUTOS------------------

1st lineup -
No comment

2nd lineup -
I would like Carini,if he is not with us then Fontana
Coco can play on the right
Imagine Materazzi - Mihajlovic, what a tough defense

3rd lineup -
I would prefer Fontana but if he has to go to no.2 because of Carini then put Cordaz there

[scutzon]

A very sad case that Cannavaro's gone, and we only got Carini in return. But what's done is done.

My line-ups are about the same as I Love Inter!, except that Recoba is in the first team in place of Martins.

And, Jimmy, how do you make those kind of line-ups? With the green field, and the names.

 

[Jimmy]

Ashkan, I´m with you completely. That kind of pairing along with Ze Maria in the starting lineup, is an influence from Mancini.

Scutzon, it´s an HTML code from my website and then I click on print screen and post it as an image. It´s not something you normal people can do.

 

[Jimmy]

There are still some numbers to decide. Here´s my preferences:

Fabian Carini: 22 (if God forbid he stays and get screwed)
Nicolas Burdisso: 3
Carlos Gamarra: 24
Nicola Beati: 15
Mario Rebecchi: 28
Lampros Choutos: 17

 

[Frisko]

If we want to get rid of one the keepers, how do we do that? With the transfers window closed? That's still not very clear to me.

Beati+Della Fiore are not in the squad at Inter.it. I hardly consider Cordaz and Carini as members of the team, and same goes for Choutos. Even if they all stay, they're players that know for sure that they won't ever play.

Thier situation is different from other players', like Karagounis for example, who knows that it'll be hard for him to play, but he can still have a chance.

This reduced the squad to 27 players, just 2 more than Facchetti's prediction.

 

[Pod]

Beati is in the squad ,but there is still no Dellafiore Can he play for Primavera ?How old is he ?

 

[Fabio]

But what I mean is that these minuscle players could play in our 3rd lineup which is amazing!

Fabio

 

[J zanetti]

Ashkan, I´m with you completely. That kind of pairing along with Ze Maria in the starting lineup, is an influence from Mancini.

Jimmy,
Im glad we are on the same wavelength!
However, I sincerely hope that Mancini isnt that biased and plays Bobo along side Adriano just because they are good buddies!
Having said that we all know that Canna's and Adani's departure does certainly benefit Mihajlovic!
Hopefully Mancini can stick to his word and do not field Bobo and Adriano together unless neccersary!

 

[Pod]

[Fabio]

So it's confirmed that Carini is with us,yes yes this is the whole squad basically.Strange about Coco!

In the B team apart from Martins obviously the likes of Dellafiore,Giani and Cordaz are the best there!2

Fabio

 

[Jake]

I phucking don't believe this. No Coco... I'm already starting to dislike Mancini.

 

[Jimmy]

So we´re gonna have four keepers this season? Incredible...

 

[Fabio]

Wait wait there is an explanation for everything and here is Mancini's:

ROBERTO MANCINI ON COCO

Appiano Gentile - ''A decision to ensure a gradual recovery.''This is Roberto Mancini's explanation on the reason as to why Francesco Coco was not included in Inter's Champions League list.
''Francesco has worked alot and has shown a great will during the summer - explains the manager -,but he has just come off of a grave injury.That is the reason I have not chosen him in the Champions League list,but gradually will be able to compete,the recovery has been going on for the last few months so we can get him into top condition for the rest of the season where everybodies contribution will help.''
