Keita Baldé Diao

[yoszee]

He apparently came by car, haha I can imagine just running out of the house and fucking off to Milan.

:notbad:

 

[Sassuolu]

Yeah and he didn't crash like our other player who decided to drive.

 

[dynasty27]

Shaun created thread for JMario, Vasilios for Gabigol. Don't let them do it for Keita.

Good low risk deal, was hoping for lower option 2 buy

That's a total of almost 40m. Verdi was available for 25m. I don't get it..

Yes he was, but not until the last week of mercato. blivious:

Certainly not the end of the world but Keita is a known prick. His 'attitude issues' would be best summarised by describing him as a "little shit" kind of guy - frequently unhappy over seemingly nothing, regularly complaining about minor things, kinda like 08/09 Balotelli. He's not as bad as 2009/10 Balotelli

Unless I'm confusing him with someone else, didn't Keita stand up and leave the teams Christmas dinner when Lotito went on stage to give his speech? He'd been having disputes with Lotito and whoever the coach was at that time if I remember correctly. Before the "duhh lol fuck Lotito" comments, it doesn't really matter if your president is Lotito, Moratti or Zamparini. It's not the end of the world and I'm not one of those guys who thinks a single non-Zanetti player is going to destroy the locker room but that kind of acting out is just impudent and immature. No one likes little shits like that.

My biggest issues are not related to his personality though. He excelled most playing as a second striker mainly. He is NOT going to succeed as a winger in our system IF Spalletti expects him to do what Perisic and Candreva do, especially tactically and in defense. In that sense, he'd be good off the bench or in a freer role than whatever the fuck Candreva is doing, or as others have mentioned, in a 2-striker system. I was personally hoping that right wing role would be for Karamoh or even Rafinha as a AM/RM. But it is true that Keita is currently a better player than Karamoh while Rafinha looks to be more a distant memory than a realistic signing.

Also his redemption price seems to keep fucking going up? At first it was €30m, then €31/32m now €34m? Next week we'll have signed the cunt on a €15m loan fee with €60m option at this rate.

It`s funny that you are trying to discard this guy and argue how he does not fit tactics [if anything he adds more options IMO], but then suddenly you are worried about his purchasing option, like you know there are high chances of that being activated so eventually he might turn out to be great? bipolar much? :troll:

I think a lot of you underrate Keita. That guy was amazing at Lazio and i will keep this saying. Most of you will be suprised at the end of the season.

I think some have a problem with his reportedly excentric "attitude", like they are going to deal with him. This is Luciano`s job, so relax, he`s on top of it.
I just hope they won`t be surprised by the fact that he provided double digits and we can`t afford to sign him.

I believe it`s difficult to find such a high ceiling talent with Serie A experience, so the target is right. We also needed serious competition for Ivan, otherwise he could be performing ~4 months/season like in the past seasons. If he turns out capable, he might just replace him in the future. But that`s the idea of a big club: having the replacement already here, adapted and proven.

My only issue with this deal is that we could not negociate a lower buying-out clause, but here`s hoping that the €34m option to buy has been inflated for the books and Candreva is heading to Monaco on a permanent deal for an inflated price as well.

That's a nice drive through the coastline.

 

[DARi0]

That's a nice drive through the coastline.

Let`s hope Candreva will also do it.

“Monaco should be thanked: they gave Keita back his smile, serenity and carefreeness after years of tension and promises made and never kept by Lazio’s board,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m not surprised they let him leave: the deal could benefit everyone involved. The player still wants to explode in the country where he’s grown as a footballer, and at 23 it’s the perfect time for him.

“Spalletti? He’s the perfect person at the perfect moment. He can help Keita make the definitive step-up in his career.” - agent Roberto Calenda

Monaco winger Keita Balde Diao is all-but an Inter player after passing his medical on Monday morning.

Calciomercato.com reports Keita underwent medical tests at Humanitas clinic in Milan and is now on his way to the CONI offices, where he will sign his contract.

Inter are expected to sign the former Lazio ace on loan with a €34m option to buy next summer.

Ok. I am expecting a meltdown on the forum after this post.

According to the extremely reliable Mohamed Bouhafsi, Keita will join Inter on a 5m loan with obligation to buy for 40m.

 

[Wobblz]

5 + 30/32/34/40/45/812391203...

That fee is growing exponentially lately.

 

[Universe]

Benvenuto Keita 5 + 70

 

[PHM1605]

Once upon a time... :epicwin:

Inter can't do loans with obbligations.. or im wrong?

 

[Anne Marie]

Fuck the number 40

 

[Besnik]

Pretty sure thats bs. If it was for obligation thing, we would probably get Malcom in the first place.

 

[Il Drago]

That's what i thought as well but perhaps the CL list rule change allows us to do loans with obligations now. The official announcement will come soon so we'll know for sure then.

 

[CafeCordoba]

In this case, the extremely reliable Mohamed is full of shit.

 

[Jane The Virgin]

Can this black politano play both left and right side? And use both feet?

 

[qb4ever_2k]

In this case, the extremely reliable Mohamed is full of shit.

Cant blame him tho, journalists generally have no idea about the exact figures of transfers.

 

[SiamoNoi]

If you ask me, a lot of truth. He is very, very talented, his finishing is superb and not to mention his pace and dribbling.
But his footballing IQ is low. Maybe he has grown a bit, havent seen him in Monaco. In Lazio, he had awful offside awareness, he may have been the player with most offsides.

His finishing is not that superb.

Offsides per game season 16./17.,Keita in Lazio:0.5

Offsides per game last season:
Perišić:0.7
Icardi:0.8
Candreva:0.5


Offsides per game last season,Keita in Monaco:0.6

What is this BS :chan:

 

[Balor]

Well unless Barcelona decide they want him as well, he's pretty much an Inter player. Let's just support him and let his performances on the pitch tell us if he's good or not.

 

[brehme1989]

At Inter, you are offside when there are 2 or 3 defenders covering you. For others it's less than 2.
