People need to understand that Sučić is not coming as vice Hakan, he plays in Dinamo Zg in Barella position and in NT he plays in Mhiki position. Maybe he becomes new Brozo or Hakan in the future but I never saw him playing as regista and he doesnt look like a player for that role. Also he comes from crappy league, it is yet to see is he good enough for this level.

A lot of players come from a "crappy" league. The league doesn't define a player, otherwise we wouldn't buy Bisseck and then play him against Barcelona in the CL semifinal less than 2 years later.

Agree and disagree here. Many players tend to succeed while joining a top team from an inferior league, but that also depends on a position where they play at. Not always, but definitely it makes a difference IMO.

50/50. Experience matters too, and getting experience against top level players. I agree the league doesnt define them, and in fact coming from a crappier league is often a better way to breakthrough and develop experience incrementally, but you also do need to get top level experience or you can come in really raw.

Every football transfer is a risk. Proper research mitigates risk.

High level experience helps, but even that isn't always a way to success. A player needs to fit and he needs to put the effort in. Example: Nainggolan at Inter. I think he did fit us, but he wasn't passionate about playing for us and that fucks everything up.

Kvaratskhelia is another proof that talent & hard work beats the level of the league you play in. Sure, he played in Russia before that, but Russian league isn't all that either the last 5 seasons. Came to Napoli, totally killed it from day 1.

When I look at the whole picture - Sučić doesn't seem to be our Mkhitaryan replacement (yet), but he has a lot of Interesque qualities that I can appreciate - can play in different systems, can play in different positions, he's a hardworker, runs a lot every game, he is already good at passing. So a solid squad player? I believe so.



I'd be great if we had 6 Barellas and 5 Bastonis, but that's not reality. Who knows? Maybe he'll positively surprise us. Wouldn't be the first player to do so.

Oh I'm very hopeful for Sucic don't get me wrong. He's a young guy, coming into a team that needs him, and seems to have the right attributes for us


Just saying, we aren't gonna be signing someone from the Thai league directly.

Or from the Vatican.

But Serie B already has good enough physical training and tactical awereness training that there is a chance to find a new Barella there. You just have to be viligant and be the first to pounce if a really good player pops up. The problem is that there is probably around 1000k clubs just in Europe that have their own scouts and trying to find a gem in a rough and most clubs don't really have scouts in double digits. Oh, and also, the coach has to be convinced that the player can contribute as soon as possible, with Inzaghi that usually doesn't happen :)

So while we can lament "how the hell we missed on that player" - it's impossible to be aware of everybody that could make the step into a bigger club. We benefited a lot from snatching a few really good players from other Serie A clubs - just this era alone - Skriniar, De Vrij, Nainggolan (meh), Acerbi, Bastoni, Dimarco (was ours before, but still), Barella, Carlos Augusto, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Frattesi, Arnautović (lul). There's probably more, but I can't remember atm.

Oh I agree, that's why I'm keen on developing people in Serie B but also moving them up aggressively when they succeed

Slowly but surely he's coming back to his form before injury. Today a nice assist for second goal.

And he scores fourth goal with left foot outside of box.

Rule 86 of the crzdcolombian law:

No forum member shall, under any circumstance, speak ill of a player from their own country who wears the Inter shirt.

If dude will celebrate every game like that, I don't care. They are footballers, not Einsteins. Most of them are dumb, especially at that age. Doesn't mean he isn't a good midfielder.
