Mauro Icardi

[Candreva Crosses]

Money paid for a player means nothing at all. We've signed Cambiasso for free, and Kondogbia for +30m. I don't need to explain the different in quality between the two.

Yes, please do. The only one willing to pay for Kondogbia was Inter and we all know why Inter overpay for players. Same shit happends with Joao Mario. No one else was willing paying that for Kondogbia. Even Bbilan understood Inter are going way over price.

It's not like only Napoli wanted Icardi for that sum. And if we gonna base this on fact instead of some fucking opinion you and other haters have lets go visit transfermarkt.co.uk

"Current market value:
£34.00m"

Which makes it around 40M Euro? You are telling me he aint worth that? And we should get some player like Belotti? Go take your trolling somewhere else.

Other people transfermarkt value around that sum is Dybala, Harry Kane, Morata, Lukaku. But I guess in Inter being as good as Icardi is not enough. Lets just sell him and get Falcao.



And you comparing K-dog with Cambiasso to prove that point is fucking hilarious and dumb.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

Kondogbia hasn't worked out for us, but he's clearly not overpriced.

You really can't pay less for someone of his CV, especially when you was a team in rebuilding and with damaged reputation. 22, huge reputation, highly talented (it's widely accepted however you'd disagree), prove in La Liga and CL, you really couldn't find anyone else for less.

I think it's hard to claim Icardi is not a good striker given his scoring history so far. He did not score against Milan, so what... (Wanda told him not to so he can be sold to Milan later on ), he is certainly not the speedster or dribbler like some strikers, he is not as creative as others are or physically imposing to be a tower over defenders, but he has qualities which cannot be denied and he has goals to prove it, not just this season.

I would not put that much blame on Icardi, it's also up to coach to give instructions, teach him how to play differently, demand certain things. I wonder what would happen if for instance he tried running out of the box and pulling two defenders with him, how much space would be left for Candreva and Perisic to move in.

our problem like I said a 100x times now is not even the df tbh...we conceded 16 yeah...but Bbilan did 17 times and has 8 more points,Torino 16 as we did
Roma conceded 14 as well but they have 8 more points but they also scored,Lazio,Atalanta,Napoli 14 as well
However...

Roma 30 goals scored!
BBilan 21
Lazio 26
Atalanta 21
Napoli 23
Torino 29
we did 18 as did Fiora but they conceded 11 times only!
Rube is league of their own with 28/9

we should have scored 5-10 goals more tbh...

Icardi's one dimensionalism is a big factor in this problem(ask Shaun tbh) if you understand it or not...I'm not repeating this stuff again

The blame then goes to the coaches here. Its like Crespo being played as a single sole striker with wingers, who would've scored but struggled at the same time too for space. Someone with creativity and movement has to play with Icardi upfront, either Jovetic or Gabigol. I really want Pioli to atleast try a 4-4-2 with Jovetic/Gabigol partnering Icardi and Candreva, Perisic on the wings and Banega/Brozovic with Mario as the CM's.

I don't get the argument that Icardi is a finisher, therefore he should only be judged by the goals he scores and excused from everything else. It doesn't work that way.

A player who's "only" a finisher should also put himself in goal-scoring opportunities. He should move off the ball, position himself in the right place, muscle his way out of his man-marker to head a cross and move into spaces. Icardi is failing in all that and he's only scoring when his man-marker makes a terrible mistake (apart from very few goals). That's not called a great finisher; it's called being carried by the team to score goals.

Judging Icardi only by the number of goals he's scoring by bringing up his stats is a fail argument in my opinion.

That is simply tooo harsh. Its as if you're looking for excuses to hate him. Icardi does move off the ball, watch the Juve match. Positions himself in the right places, see Crotone. Outmuscles his opponent (Cheillini) to score (See Juve match under Mazzari).

He is carried by our team because no one else scores goals here. Fact is Icardi has scored 9/18 of our goals. Eder, Palacio, Jovetic simply do not score them so we have to depend and carry Icardi for goals.

As long as we play with only Icardi upfront, I doubt it is going to help us and Icardi. Either Icardi needs to have world class attacking wingers or in our case, there should be a second striker to partner him. Can't blame Icardi either, coz he is a pure classical poacher and I doubt he will ever be able to change his game style. Inter/coach needs to find a solution asap, if we intend to continue with him.

Another way to slightly help our attack would obviously be to get two good quality wing backs, which would help the likes of Perisic/Candreva to play in more advanced roles (and to penetrate the D box up front). This way, opponent defenders will not only be limited to man marking Icardi.

Goals doesn't matter tbh, we should judge Icardi based on his defensive contribution

Well, the second part may be right, but it also depends on the Coach tactics, if they decide they want their wingers to stay on the wing (ala deBoer) we won't have any options to play them alongside Icardi. If you remember the 2 Vecchi games, he tried to make D'Ambrosio cut from the inside while Candreva stayed on the wing, making D'Ambrosio a surprise option to attack inside the box, now with Pioli, Candreva is playing more central when Perisic has the ball, it all depends on the way they want our players to contribute on the field

Right now we need to find a balance, with Medel out injured we can try another lineup, a 4-4-2 could be a very good option, but we need to see what players are used on the center of the field, because we know for sure Kondogbia/Brozovic may have a very difficult time defending and creating game

 

[Candreva Crosses]

Icardi can assist too, ask perisic. Which game was that? 3 weeks ago?

 

[JJM]

superstar scored a goal and then went back to sleep like always

The paid €30+m for a player that should be playing just off of Icardi. No not as a winger, but more of a secondary striker, unfortunately, he's played 20mins and that happened 2 months ago.

 

[Pimpin]

he needs rest.

 

[satubito]

“Inter played beautifully in the first half, we wanted to do well and for forty-five minutes we succeeded. The second half was rather forgettable, we played with no personality. What happened, happened tonight, we have to just put it all behind us. We must start from the strength of the group, from field work, but we must know that we have no excuses, it’s almost Christmas and there were no results. If we play as a team we can do well, after the first time we just had to win, now let’s go back home with our head down, shut up and work.”

Lead by example you twit. It's a given. We are going nowhere with this guy as a lone striker and captain.

 

[Ratsys]

he needs rest.

and a payrise.

 

[varmin]

He pissed me off in the situation where hit the bar. Brozovic cut in the penalty area waiting for Icardi to return him the pass but this cunt decided to shoot from very difficult position instead. The other two moments when i saw him were, when he scored and when he missed. Three fucking times for 90 min. against fucking Hapoel
This is our 70 mln super striker Icardi. Just sell him somewhere and get the money.

 

[Javier'sSon]

he needs rest.

Only striker in the league to have played all of the possible minutes in the season so far! it's bizzare to me, his performances hasn't always merited him a place the pitch and yet he's always there. Almost feels like we're burning him to the ground after his new contract and the whole book episode.

We should rest him, give others a chance and not solely rely on Icardi to bang in the goals. It could also be good for Icardi himself. He's not a 27 established player to always be playing like all he needs is a good game to get his mojo back, he's still young and shouldn't have all this pressure on him all the goddamn time.

 

[Wobblz]

Ehm, what about Miranda? Aren't we running him in the ground even more? Cause to be honest, Icardi is just watching the game up close whereas Miranda has to perform miracles every 5 minutes.

 

[Shaun]

Miranda in my opinion has looked burnt out a lot recently. Even more so than Mauro

id love to see the stats of running, i dont think icardi has ran less than miranda this season.
