Milan Škriniar

[vex]

You guys should watch more football outside of Inter. All the top defenders in the world make hella a mistakes; quite frankly, even more than skriniar did last season. Van Dijk? Ramos? Come on. Hella mistakes. These guys make completely bonehead decisions. Van Dijk just did one recently. Remember Varane in CL ko?

You guys focus on him getting beat a few times this season COMPARED TO his first season where that very rarely happened. That's all that FiF is doing.

He had an exceptional first year. That is not the standard and no defender keeps that standard over multiple years.

The narrative is quite simply a false one.

My problem with him is not that he got beat couple of times, its the way defenders in his position have to be involved in attack and have some sort comfortability on the ball. He doesn't have that.

 

[brehme1989]

Wait till he names his kid Inter.

 

[rsz85]

Fucking conte!

if we sell Skriniar, i bet he will play for rubentus 2021-2022..... they will need CBs seeing the age of bonucci and chiellini....

 

[Il Drago]

What are your arguments for him staying, without mentioning obvious sentimental part that he is fan favourite. Should we leave him here just in case conte leaves and we hire a coach who plays back four, or do you think he is good enough as it is to play in back three?

My arguments are he was our best defender in a back 4 and there's no guarantee Conte is going to be Inter coach after this season. He was close to leaving after just one season. There's no doubt Skriniar has struggled in a back 3. A lot. But i would rather give him one more reason than sell him after one bad season struggling in a new formation. Especially since we haven't received an offer worth selling him.

Come on. You cannot say that a RCB should have the same characteristics as CB in 4 men defense. Skriniar was always bad in 1 on 1s, but he wasn't as exposed as he is in 3 men defense. Whenever a quick player goes against him it's like a coin toss whether he will go past him and it's happening a lot more than before.

On top of that his involvement with offensive play is a lot more important than before, where he just passed to De Vrij, to Dambo on the right or to Brozo in front of him.

(1) I never said they have to have the same involvement. Of course it's obvious that it's different roles. However, teams are switching constantly between 2 CB and 3 CB, even in match, so let's not overcomplicate it. City does it. Tottenham does it. ManU has done it. Barca does it. Juve does it. I mean, the list goes on.

(2) All players playing in a role don't need to perform exactly the same function and have the skillset. As a matter of fact, it is actually ABNORMAL to have the players have the same skillset and function. In a 2 CB set, your 2 CBs don't have the exact same skillset. The WBs don't have the same skillset. It is not perfectly symmetrical. So why are we expecting the RCB and LCB to do exactly the same things, particularly from an offensive contribution perspective? The way we are set now with Hakimi being far more aggressive offensively, attacking space at speed, and not as good defensively, we technically need the RCB to contribute less in offense. On the left, we have more possession play so bastoni's dribbling skills are better suited there.

Regarding 1v1s, skriniar is 25 years old. He is accustomed to being an aggressive tackler in the 2 CB set. All he has to do is be COACHED to be more judicious about tackling. I will always go back to the Walter Samuel example, where he was not only exposed to many 1v1s at Real, but also not coached very well. He was a very aggressive tackler at Roma and that made him suffer at Real. He came to us and was put in better situations but more importantly, was coached/he learned to be more selective with his aggressive tackling. And with that....we know what happened after that.

With all due respect Skriniar is not close to Samuel, if we get milenkovic as his replacement who is 3 years younger and better suited to our style of play I am fine with this.

 

[n4l]

with all due respect, you should try to remember samuel at Real

Excuse me? He was always bad in 1 vs 1? I think you are mistaking Skriniar for someone else. He was a beast in the 1 vs 1 duels, I would argue one of the best. There are dozen of clips to find on YT where he just owns everyone in those duels. And I know that YT clips can make a bad player look amazing but come on you can't be serious when you say he was always bad in 1 vs 1.

Only thing we can all agree on is that he was bad in the 3 man defense but people are just talking shit about how he is bad at defending and on the ball etc. I thought Candreva Crosses said it earlier some people here have the memory of a goldfish. He was even good with the ball when he was playing good. It has everything to do with confidence and feeling comfortable in a formation. Since when are we okay with selling people after 1 bad year in a new formation? And whats the alternative? Chris Smalling?

Fiorentina wont let Milenkovic go for cheap so it's selling Skriniar and buying his replacement for almost the same amount of money. People who are thinking we can get Kanté and Milenkovic are not serious. I'm confident Skriniar will adapt to the new formation but some players just need more time to adapt to it.

 

[Adriano@10]

I just dont get the timing especially if godin leaves yes he s been disappointing in a 3 man defense but he was not bad just not up to his standards. I d like for him to get another chance in a 3 man defense if we he has another season like last and conte stays then we can sell him for 80 but to sell him now when everybody is cheap is just plain dumb.

 

[IM21]

Tottenham intermediary still in Milan.

[Pajo]

He seems to be as good as gone. If Conte doesn't win scudetto next year, he should be beaten as fuck.

 

[Il Drago]

Even though Di Marzio hasn't been really accurate in this market for us, i am struggling to believe the report from UK. I doubt they would send an intermediary along with their sporting director to Italy if the distance was so big. Sadly the two parties are probably close to an agreement.

 

[magnesium]

I am number 1 fan Skriniar even before he play like world class CB, but i agree we need sell him now because we can't win Scudetto this year if we wait Skriniar adapt 3 man defense.

We need 100% ready RCB this year. I think that's not Skriniar. Whoever coming, i hope Conte buy the best one and we get Scudetto.

 

[javier_zanetti <3]

60M for one of the best CBs in europe. Fucking joke.

Name a ready rcb.

Darmian

We all know how this one is going to go. We sell Skriniar to Tottenham for a fee lower than what we would normally want. We bring in some mediocre former EPL player, like Smalling. Conte wins no trophies this season and is fired, requiring us to pay him some form of severance pay. We hire a new manager who immediately reverts course to a back four. We're suddenly in the market for a right-footed CB.

Darmian will do

Fuck Conte for selling Skriniar.
