Mehdi Taremi

[Damageplan]

Have to agree that his end product is seriously lacking. To put things into perspective Correa in one game pretty much reached the same amount of goals/assists.

 

[bubba zanetti]

This guy is not good enough. Unfortunately it looks like that. And still is a big upgrade over Assnautović.

 

[Hikonyán]

Apart from that game against Red Star Belgrade, one of the worst teams in the CL, he has been utter trash.

 

[dax21]

I'd rather hope he manages to find his way because we got him until 2027.

 

[Glass box]

Not sure what it is that players like Taremi, Correa and Arnautovic offer more than the likes of Pinamonti or Esposito would for example. We make mental gymnastics to excuse not giving chance to those players while we get older overpaid strikers as if they're established instant-impact players, they're not even that.

Nainggolan did absolutley f**k-all and stole money off us for years but ppl seem to forgive him cos he scored a goal against Juventus and postured like a hardman alot so when Taremi reaches his levels of uselessness then he'll be worthy of the abuse given on here.

What abuse? Almost all of the hate criticism here is justified.

where have you been? Most people didn't forgive Nainggolan, most people here actually agree that it was a bad deal.

On other forums I went on people seemed incapable of seeing what a waste of money Nainggollan was and the crowd at San Siro never gave him what he deserved either!

Taremi looks like a decent fourth-choice striker in our system, but the problem is that we bought him to be the third choice. I'll be curious to see if the past week has changed anything and if Correa might be the first off the bench against Fiorentina to replace Thuram or Lautaro.

 

[crzdcolombian]

hopefully a Saudi team takes him off our hands. If they give us any money great. If its just free but no golden handshake I will be thrilled

strikers 3-5..... give us performances worst than a hungry 18 year old we throw out on the field would give us for 100x the wages

 

[Corrode]

I heard Galatasaray needs a new striker..

 

[ADRossi]

I'm leaning more towards the "he's washed" argument than I am the "he needs time to adjust."

He doesn't create chances. Ever. I have no idea how he scored so many goals in Portugal.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

There might be a reason why his top level at the age of 32 had been playing in Portugal. You usually won't find hidden gems at that age.

Probably not the end of world if he's the last striker on your depth chart, problem is that he's not right now. It's impossible for him to be as long as Arnautovic is still getting Inter pay checks.

 

[RotterdamNerazzurri]

He kinda disapoints me. I have never seen him play a lot, but FIF got me a bit hyped when we signed him. Apart from his descent start, he doesn’t offer much. He isn’t a upgrade on Alexis so far imo.

weak league compared to seria A

It's Portugal. Bas fucking Dost was a beast there.

Harsh. Primeira Liga has produced loads of excellent players and is great to watch.

 

[vex]

I still think his biggest problem is lack of consistent playing time. In porto for years he was irreplaceable, so I think he may be a type of player that needs to build momentum before firing on all cylinders, or he just needs time to adjust to the type of playing rhythm he is currently experiencing.

I don't see a bad player when he is on the pitch like most people here, quite the contrary.

 

[wera]

Me neither, but he does play worse than how he did before the injury. Maybe he is holding back on purpose, being scared of getting injured again.

Will we see an open play goal from this guy before the year ends?

Bro has yet to score from open play this season despite being handed 15 appearances across all competitions.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Taremi’s stats against RB Leipzig last night illustrated the depth of his form woes.
Simone Inzaghi handed the Iran international his fifth consecutive UEFA Champions League start for Inter.

Taremi’s work ethic is commendable. His willingness to sacrifice for the team has earned him high acclaim from Inzaghi.
However, as a goal-getter, his top assignment is to deliver goals. Unfortunately, he failed to complete his mission again.

On the evidence of last night’s showing, Mehdi Taremi has developed a habit of dropping deep to lend a helping hand in the build-up. Similarly to Harry Kane, he often deviates from a target-man role to get more involved in the creative part. While Kane’s effect has been devastating, Taremi’s numbers are dwindling.

Last night, he only had 25 touches and an expected goals (xG) average of 0.25. Indeed, he only made one weak attempt toward Peter Gulaszi’s goal. To make things worse, Leipzig defenders blocked his shot.

Only Lautaro Martinez’s meager 0.7 xG was worse among the Inter players.

Hope he gets used to the new system soon.
