Mauro Icardi

[Dylan]

Have you seen Dybala play?! He is waaaay better than Icardi when it comes to team play and creating chances on his own.Icardi is just a poacher compared to Dybala.

Also I feel Icardi needs a partner...he is more of a loan striker in the Mancio special 4-2-3-1 and he ain't doing that hot tbh.
Dybala would be way better in that formation in the CF role.

but we have who we have and no way would ET splash 40 mil on a single player anway. He wouldn't even consider Zampa's price...Icardi isn't worth 40 mil either in a normal mercato day. However the mercato is inflated as fuck so...who knows.

Icardi is just a poacher who at age 21 is pushing for Capocannionare. Your suggestion was to sell Icardi for 40 and put that all into Dybala, a young Argentinian forward with 6 months of an impressive career for 40 million. That's a huge fucking risk. I'm not saying Dybala can't over take Icardi but for 40 million you can't go near him, unless you want to please Zamparini.

Or unless your playing FIFA manager mode, or football manager maybe

 

[ronniec]

Call him up and ask him?

I am new here, don't know the relationship in between Icardi and Inter, and don't know his contract situation here.

When it's about Juan, everyone says he is young and has a lot of time to develop. When it's about Icardi, he won't get any better.

same with dodo

 

[Kakaroto]

Some internet sources said he would leave it Inter does not have CL next season.

How true this is?

Considering some of the financial commitments they have I'm incline to believe it. Now I don't think they are just going to sell him for anything, they'll do it for a top offer, don't know that number.

Remember the club is still dealing with FFP and while me and others here think it's bullshit the club is nontheless having to deal with that.

I don't see it as terrible as long as we reinvest that money and from other sales (Guarin, Kuz, Nagatomo etc.) into the team. I would equate this to Roma selling Lamela and improving their team, though they also sold Maquiho for a huge sum so it's not totally a 100% comparison.

Menez is also pushing for the capocannionare. Doesn't mean Milan fans aren't acutely aware that he's very flawed. I agree that Dybala is a risk considering this is the first season he's performed to this current level, but if this 6 months isn't a fluke he's on track to being a 20 goal, 15 assist striker per season. And literally we would be retarded not to swap that for a 20 goal striker with strong poaching tendencies.

 

[JJM]

This is what we will do if Icardi is really to be sold for a lot of cash.
Get Gignac for free,get Podolski in full,cover Shaqiri's fee,buy another DM,buy another full back.

Quantity>>>>>quality
:interlogic:

 

[Kakaroto]

If Mancini is still here it will be alright. This management definitely listens to the coach and while I had/have my doubts about Mancini he is not a complete idiot in the transfer market.

 

[Andysam]

Anyway, have you all noticed that if a player leave us he is the most horrrible person in the world (let's say Ibra or Ronaldo or Thiago Motta or even Sneijder), but we want to sell everyone even if they are doing a good job for us. I mean, not just Icardi but I have read like 20 comments saying we should sell Handa and well... he is MOTM even when he is not in the match... But if he leaves almost everyone is going to go crazy.

 

[Kakaroto]

Well yeah many people at FiF are complete idiots. :work:

BAN

tbh, mancini's record in strikers isnt epic, though?

Cruz was decent, Crespo was alright at first, Suazo... who else.. Ibra obviously..

choutous tbh...

When it's about Juan, everyone says he is young and has a lot of time to develop. When it's about Icardi, he won't get any better.

Your argument is that people use youth as an excuse for some players, so why can't it be used as an excuse for all young players. The problem with that reasoning is it oversimplifies everything. Firstly, I think youth is used too much as an excuse for JJ. But better positional play and the ability to stay calm comes with experience and maturity. That's why many center-backs hit their prime in their early thirties, although I'm skeptical that Juan's flaws will ever go away.

Not necessarily the case with Icardi. Anything can happen in football, but since when has a striker changed what they are fundamentally defined by? I can think of strikers who became less limited to improve (eg. Jovetic), but not the other way around. Creating chances by himself has and will always be outside of his style and ability. There are no reasons to say that will happen. Though I can see Icardi using hold up play like Klose or Bony in the future.

And thirdly, we're allegedly getting offers of 40 million for him. To keep him based on the off chance he changes his style would be a mistake with our financial situation. He can be a very useful player if he stays and grows in Nerazzurro, but at the end of the day it becomes a question of whether or not we're getting good enough of an offer and there are players available for less that can substitute his qualities.

Also, you can't generically justify any other shitty young player with their age. It's also a matter of quality. For example, Dodo's defending.

Icardi's inconsistent link up play is not really down to technique. He has technique and ball control. It's footballing iq and decision making. You can have players with great technique who are crap at passing. For example him being a dick and not passing to Osvaldo wide open is not really down to technical ability.

There's also the issue of style as you mentioned. He likes to get into goal scoring position, and does not want to drop back often.

 

[Fapuccino]

Needs to get more involved (not that difficult just a matter of willpower), and needs to complete the more risky passes (this is more difficult). Pass accuracy is decent. Messi and Totti blow everyone out of the water. True false nines.

These stats are from THIS season. I compiled them quickly in excel. I also added some stats from other seasons for some players who maybe aren't starting regularly as reference. I would say stats can be deceiving, but any passing lists where Messi is on top and Icardi near the bottom must have some hint of truth

 

[A.l.i]

Those stats are from last season. Its because Icardi is probably the most "poacher" type striker in that list as of right now.

can't really buy/sell when u have adriano and recoba under Moratti's protection.

Dybala's stats are CRAZY GOOD. Especially once you factor in his 10 goals
