The kid has talent no one is doubting that ,
Development like the name suggest is the progress or growth over time ,

We can argue that what he is lacking can only be gain with developing on field minutes in a real life example (i.e regular games week in week out) or some may say that he should have already demonstrated he is ready and "inter material".

Either way he is not ready NOW to be a regular starter , he has shown weakness in his playing (whether he needs time to develop) is academic as we can not currently afford that experience.

He needs experience so that he learns to play better. Learns to avoid those plays he time to time tends to pull off, like against Bologna for instance. Learns the positioning even better.

Like discussed many times here, Inter is not a place for such development experience. You need to be good right from the get-go when you play for Inter.

Asllani can play against lower sides but it's not enough when there are situations when you need to play against tougher sides. No one expects to have Hakan level backup, but someone who can adequately do it, Asllani unfortunately fails in that if we don't play some weaker side who aren't pressing us.

Don't have one.
Brozo was frustrating, but he still showed signs of improvement and was actually useful for what we needed back then. Asllani is just not good enough. People should not conflate those two things.

Yeah Brozo was not good pre-Spallo, but neither was Inter. It's not comparable at all to this situation.

We are at different level, there are different requirements for our players now. They simply need to delivering at acceptable level. Even if not for the results and the coach, but out of respect for the team mates. It cannot be that there are guys in the team (group who actually play meaningful minutes) who are not at the delivering which breaks our game. Admittedly Inzaghi's system is not the easiest one, for any position, and player cannot be there developing.

This is also a point to people who want Inzaghi to give chances to younger players. It simply doesn't work like that.

Yeah, don't agree with that at all. I agree the levels we require now are different, but I don't remember brozo being this level of inadequate and a black hole every time he was on the pitch, even if I take into consideration the overall bad midfield we had back then.

You probably forgot how bad he was back then when he first joined, we cannot even find the right position that he seems to be able to handle.

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.
Seeing Brozo up close at a game - he was a unit. A Big lad. No wonder he couldnt be knocked off the ball.

I think you need to reread a lot of the post.
To be honest I looked at the polls and saw the majority of votes on 7.

And for the avoidance of any doubt
I'm not stating he should be a starter or a useful sub

I think he needs a good season of regular game time

You guys also have to take into account that loaning Asllani anywhere will not change much of the situation since he needs to play a specific role for Inter which he is not likely to play elsewhere. That is why I been saying Inzaghi saw something in him and tried to nurture him to push for the first team eventually.
Brozo was a completely different player and story. Not going to go into specific shit but he had a few position changes until he settled down and proved a worldclass anchor.
Asllani shows a few qualities and he will eventually find his spot somewhere. He just doesnt not seem able to consistently interpret the role that was assigned to him at Inter. It is what it is.
After 2 years you have to evaluate and decide if its worth investing further or cut your losses. That goes for both club and player.

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


There's no comparison between them. Brozovic was not quick and that is not a prerequisite for the role, but he was a solid unit who could use his body to shield the ball when under pressure and trying to find an out option.

I think it's hard to compare Bisseck and Asslani and their respective performances. The former looked a stylistic fit being big, strong, fast and with a decent touch from the first few games we saw him, all qualities that characterise this team (apart from the pace bit, but fast players are always welcome). Asslani has none of the physical traits to immediately make him look a fit, so he needs to excel in other areas to compensate. And he hasn't.

Brozo showed flashes of being a quality player even before Spallo found a home for him. I remember one game early in Spalletti’s tenure, he even played as an attacking midfield and did decently well, even though it clearly isn’t his position at all, and helped the team.

I thought he showed some good things under Mancini too, and then we know how much a shitshow the following season was for us. He’s definitely not one I didn’t want to see on the pitch like Asllani is. Different league. It’s more of a personality thing than a skill thing— Brozo always had that sense of poise and coldness you need to have as someone who wants to cement themselves at inter. Asllani was a boyhood inter fan and clearly looks a bit awestruck by the opportunity. Sometimes a layer of detachment can help you.

Brozovic wasn't bad before Spalletti . He was inconsistent. Before the match against Napoli that changed his Inter career he had 17 goals and 12 assists for the club.

His struggles had to do with certain factors:

- While Mancini used him mostly as a mezzala in his first months at the club, Brozo didn't have a fixed position and he was used wherever Inter needed a player. CM, AM and even RM.
- He had the bad luck to play in a dysfunctional Inter midfield at the time without a fixed system. Constant coach changes, constant system changes that were only bringing confusion to the players about their roles and its demands. It was difficult to have any level of consistency when the club was in constant change. And the less we say about the quality of that midfield the better. There wasn't a single focal point in that midfield. Medel, Kondogbia, Felipe Melo, Gagliardini, Vecino, Valero, Joao Mario. These were the players Brozovic had to play with.
- He also showed a lack of maturity and discipline on and off the pitch.

That was the Brozovic before the Napoli game.

Asllani doesn't have these problems. He plays at a well functioning midfield next to players of high quality and with an established system. And he is supposed to play a very specific role. He just can't do it.

Sigh, this man is never gonna be able to replace what Hakan does. No matter how hard they try to delude themself. I get not accepting that offer in January but if someone is willing to cough up those numbers in the summer id be pretty upset about them turning it down.
Nobody expect him to replace Hakan, but he is not even 30% of Hakan. That is problem. But, Inzaghi is very stuborn.
