Nicolò Barella

Not really seeing how Sensi-Brozovic-Barella is better than Vecino-Radja-Brozovic, much less a major upgrade.

Seriously?

Is Sensi a better player than Vecino?

You have to evaluate the midfield as a unit. Certainly Radja at his best is better than any midfielder we have, but he's not at his best. Vecino we know is a physical presence and little else.
Brozovic, Barella, and Sensi are all comfortable on the ball and have good positional sense. That counts for a lot. They'll be able to move the ball together more effectively than the aforementioned midfield.

Sensi is definitely better than Vecino. The fact that he can pass the ball and receive it already makes him better. Half the time the ball comes to Vecino it looks like it's bouncing off a piece of wood.

Is Barella better than Roma Nainggolan? No. Is he better than last year's Nainggolan? Yes. I love Radja but he looked like he couldn't run in 90% of the games past season. I wish he was the old Radja but I don't think he'll ever get back to that physically.

 

[Sassuolu]

I've been more impressed by Sensi so far but Barella seems to come on when our second string is on the pitch so there isn't much to judge him on.

I don't know if there is a player who is worse than Vecino

 

[Sassuolu]

Why is there this stupid argument comparing midfields? Barella and Sensi add much needed options to our midfield and there will be different combinations throughout the year.

Your statement implies that Vecino is a football player.
Seeing how he does his best to avoid touching the ball, I would'nt say so.

he has a very rare characteristic - to score destiny changing goals sometimes. And it makes us eat the bait

Vecino and Nainnggolan were given an unfair advantage to be near the opponent goal all the time and they were doing hardly any defensive duties, so why wouldn't they score? But give the same chances to any other player (except Candreva and Mario) and they would score at least twice as many goals if not more.

 

[forzainter257]

I don't give a damn shit about his goals, neither do I care about goals scored by Gags. Both score tap-ins...I only rate them for their presence in midfield and Gagliardini is better in that component. I would keep Gags for a backup role and get rid of Vecino in a heartbeat

 

[Gaindé]

+1000 Gagliardini is way more useful than Vecino. 90 minutes of hiding 1 minute of playing football. That's why Gaglia makes more mistakes than him, he is way more involved in the game.

 

[Nyall]

Yikes..

Two meaningless games that we lost against two opponents that were barely even trying and our new signings are getting overrated to the moon... like every summer in FIF.


It's funny seeing the same people posting and thanking all sorts of posts of our midfield being this "unit" are in the Transfer Section posting how they're pissed off that we didn't spend 75 million to get SMS.


You guys aren't even trying to be consistent. If Sensi - Brozovic - Barella is good enough, why are y'all asking for another midfielder? I've been against the Vecino signing from Day One..

This was my post about his arrival:

What does he add to this team to be excited about?


Which of our midfielders is he an improve over?

So our midfield is now 2/3 the midfield of the team that finished 8th.

Again what is there to be excited about? Fiorentina should be the ones celebrating right now. They're making more money for their underachievers than we're able to get for ours.

when the same people shitting all over Vecino today, were saying things like..

Brozovic and Kondogbia easily. He's also probably currently better than Gagliardini, but I like Gagliardini a lot and think he has very high potential.

He add consistency , regularity , technicality and complementarity with Valero.

in summer 2015, Juve bought Palermo top scorer (Dybala), and this summer they bought a winger for 40M from "the team that finished 8th".

Spalletti and Sabatini knows much better than you all what they are doing.

I can`t wait until he makes his contesters shut up with his consistent performances on the pitch

Many are worried that they never heard of him, but that`s the way to go if you want good players for reasonable prices. People need to chill as we have Sabatini now taking care of the transfers. :datass:

Needless to say, Sensi falls within exactly that category of player. What makes Vecino better is his ability to somehow score goals in big and important games. At no point in Sensi's career to this point has he ever shown to be capable of doing that. He's also never shown himself to ever be a player conducive to his team scoring goals, and he's gonna carry that from Sassuolo to Inter.

 

[Wobblz]

They are undoubtedly good signings, that doesn't mean we aren't a greedy bunch now, does it?

 

[Palacio]

Nyall, if you want to do things your way at Inter, buy the club and do whatever you want with it.

 

[Lui]

Or hug a puppy.

Too early to make an assessment, but I'm pleased with the fact that they're moving constantly, alert to what's around them, and opening up for passing option. No one was moving last year, it was pass-and -stare and our possession statistics flattered us because the only way we got the ball forward was through politano.

Praise everything the club does, not matter how stupid or buy it.

Speedwise and workratewise each of them is a lot better than their counter part.

You are right. Its not a major upgrade, or even an upgrade quality wise. However the new midfield is more suitable for Conte in terms of their work rate, discipline and intensity. Also, Conte has made it clear that Nainggolan needs to be replaced and if we replace him well, that midfield will be an upgrade from last season. For e.g.:

Bro-Barella-Vidal-Sensi-Vecino-Gags will be a decent upgrade on Bro-9G-Vecino-Valero-Gags-Mario.

Bro-Barella-SMS-Sensi-Vecino-Gags will be a MAJOR upgrade.

 

[AntonTheGreat]

So some people on this forum went from underrating players like Sensi and Barella, to overrating Naingollan (I mean, I know he had his injury and off the field issues but did anyone even watch him last season) and FUCKING Vecino?? If you do not see Brozo-Barella-XX/Sensi as an improvement over fucking Vecino and a half assed Naingollan… just wow.

Holy shit its comical here at FIF.
