He's in dangerous territory in dropping to Gagliardini level. A player who somehow plays despite rancid performances over and over again. Other players who are shit we make fun of didnt hurt us that much because they seldom played. Even when Hakan is healthy this dude somehow ends up on the field. Has he ever even had an acceptable performance against a non relegation side? Let alone a good performance.

To be fair Gagliardini had 6 really good months at Inter. Apart from glimpses of potential here and there Asllani hasn't really showed much.

Lol, he gets paid 1 mill/year... That's like 1/6th of Hakan or Barella. Again, Idk what people expect here. You get what you pay for.

You want someone more experienced and proven? Pay more money. But this is budget issues. To me it's when players like Lautaro that fuck up making 10 mill that worry me. Asllani is nothing but a rounding error in our budget.

Rotation. Subs. It's good for you.
To answer your question about ever having an acceptable performance or a good one, his stats are not bad if you look at what opta shows. Pass accuracy is very good even though he plays it very safe (follows strict Inzaghi orders). Has actually created more chances than: Zielinski, Darmian, Frattesi, Taremi (first 3 have played more minutes than him) etc etc look it up over here: https://theanalyst.com/football/player/sc-517997/kristjan-asllani/stats

Don't go with just one Bologna game who started the game very strong.

He still needs to go on loan and play 90 minutes every game as a starter without the pressure of being a 21/22 year old for a now big Inter team who's competing for many competitions with a lot of expectations. Inzaghi has actually helped bringing him on more this season but some things, unless you're a Pirlo but even him we sold, you can only learn some very specific things about yourself and the game by playing with no pressure and less strict tactical ideology, especially the unique one Inzaghi has.

My broad issue with him has always been that he can't play at the sort of pace that successful teams need to be able to play at. Hakan gets the ball and moves the ball quickly and efficiently to make himself press resistant. Asslani is usually playing against weaker teams less likely to press him anyway, or against stronger teams later in the game when they are tired and not so dynamic, so he gets the ball, touches it one way, stops, knocks it the other way and invariably spends 5 seconds or so on the ball just to knock the ball a few yards square or back. This allows opponents time to get back in shape.

The last couple of games in which he has started has shown a lot. Against Venezia he definitely tried to play quicker and more physically (another quality he also lacks) and it was an untidy performance that gave away a number of free-kicks as he was out of his comfort zone trying to play at the pace the rest of the team around him does. The Bologna game was even more marked as they pressed and they particularly targeted him forcing him into all sort of errors. He looked really lost.

I'll always maintain that I do have some sympathy for him as I've never thought he was a midfield anchor anyway, but while he is young and can improve technically and tactically, I just don't think he will ever have the pace of thought, the pace of play and the physicality to be able to prosper in a competitive side.

He doesn't need particular physicality for his role, Brozovic didn't have it either.

Let's talk some facts here. This forum keeps crying about how we never develop young players. Asllani started a whole whopping 6 games in the previous season. He started 4 this season so far.
For comparison sake, he started 6 times for his NT alone this (well, last calendar) year.

Let the kid make mistakes, let him learn. Yes there are glaring flaws in his play at this stage but there are also some promising bits (passing, vision, calmness). I'm not saying that he will turn out to be a great regista, I'm not saying he will even turn out to be a decent one. But this is what developing a player actually is, it's not pretty and it takes time.

but he does need to bulk up

if he doesn't have the skills like Kovačić or the balance of Brozović, being less weak would help in tackles and shielding the ball

If you don't show immediate signs of huge improvement, like bisseck did, then a club like inter cannot wait for you for three years to develop. You need to go to torino, genoa, cagliari to do that. It's really that simple. So developing younger players yes, but only those who show constant signs of improvement.

And I honestly don't know why people even think at the end of that developing trajectory, there is an inter worthy player waiting for us.

Bisseck is not only two years older, but he also started twice as many times this season, as well as last season. Bisseck wasn't great immediately either.

It's not a great comparison.

He is here for three years, he had plenty of time to show his worth both of the bench and starting. After all that time, he is the same player as in year one. Bisseck also didn't have many minutes on the pitch, but he managed to start the ball rolling with his improvements. Asllanis ball barely moved.

Both Bisseck and even Palacios looked good in their earlier cameos. Asllani hadn't.

Asllani fails the eye test and also doesn't have any useful characteristics apart from his long range passing, and he needs 15 minutes to position himself to send one. What we get vs what we need is like comparing a mortar to a drone sending out a missile...

He's not Inter level and will never be. And he sinks our common denominator down whenever he plays.
You don't have that with Bisseck. That kid rarely looked like our weakest link and even if he's our worst performer, it's rare and it's not evident to someone's grandma who doesn't even know which is the ball and which the goalkeeper. But she'd still manage to see that Asllani looks awkward and out of context whenever he plays.

He's 22! Not 26.
Plenty of time to develop - if Inzaghi ever gives him more minutes.

What do you think "development" means and how does it work?

You think this is some video game and you gain XPs with official game exposure?

You think some random guy can become a good goalkeeper if I give him a chance to play at top level and force him to stop shots he's obviously not able to? Will he be better next week or next year and manage to become a decent Serie A level GK?

Yes, all of that. Exactly that.

That is simply not true. Physique and physicality are 2 different things.
Brozo was impecable when it came to physicality, he could fend of pretty much anyone and was very hard to knock him off the ball. All that with his skinny stature.

Broz also covered like 13km per game without fail while making key defensive contributions.

brehme said it best. Asllani just doesn't pass the eye test. The best comparison I can make is when an actor plays an instrument in a movie or TV show. They move their hands across the keyboard or guitar and at a glance it might look like they're really playing the instrument. Take a second look though and it's clear they're just pretending and don't actually know what they're doing.

Asllani is like that. I've always said this but it's as if he's just watched videos of DM's and is trying to emulate them without a clue what he's doing.

That means absolutely nothing when he's been on the bench for 90% of that time. Players at that stage need to be playing every single game. It just shouldn't be here.

I don't think some here understand how player development works. Garbage minutes and a few starts a season will not develop a player. He should have stayed at Empoli for a few more years.

Oh please stfu man. Yeah, he's not ready for Inter, but pretending like he's a Serie C level player or something is just nonsense.

Yeah, but all of what you said still doesn't prove he is good enough to be playing at this club. You just have a blind faith he would become a great player by having regular minutes, which is far from given. That's it, that's your argument... What should have been the alternative? To give more playing time to a player who every time he enters the pitch instantly makes us worse? As i v said in my previous post, player development and playing time in a club like inter has to coincide with a player showing regular improvements, aka bisseck case. Of course, he is gonna get garbage minutes when his contribution is ass. We ain't cagliari to have that type of luxury.

And btw he had an opportunity to leave a year and a half ago, don't forget about that, we were willing to let him go, HE REFUSED to leave. And it's not like he had some huge salary as well that he couldn't get elsewhere. So when we talk about playing time, development, he is again the one that we should look at first in terms of blame. He thought he is good enough for this level, he wasn't, now the consequences of that decision came home to roost.

Of course the mngmt is also to blame for even keeping him this long as a primary calha replacement, but that's the different story and the one I already wrote about.
