I was one of the first haters of him here, but that goal against rubentus melted my heart. I forgive him:fuckyea:

Wanted him to do more honestly, since he claims to hate Juve. Maybe choke out Chellini or a lunging tackle (red card worthy). Hopefully next season if he stays.

Wouldn't be surprised if Conte wants to get rid of him. He's probably the only guy on our team who knows who he is.

Biasin just said he isn't sure if naingolan will stay, not surprising tbh, this goes well with giaccherini statement where he said conte is one of the most disciplined coaches he met, and he demands that from his players too.

If we can cash in with Nainggolan without taking financial hit, okay let's go. If we can then use that money and add some more and get a new starting midfielder. I'd be all in for this scenario.

I have a feeling Nainggolan cannot be a starter for Conte since he doesn't seem to have legs for Conte. Though fighting spirit is perhaps the biggest one in the squad and add Conte to that, Radja might be an animal. But I bit too costly one to be a sub.

Highly doubt we can sell him at the price we bought him.

In that case we just let him retire here.

Maybe a Chinese club will make a bid that satisfies the books.

Considering the dead weight we have in midfield, Nainggolan would be the last guy I sell.

That would be true if you just blindly look at quality of the players in our midfield, but unfortunately majority of the coaches appreciate willingness to work and to be disciplined above everything else, which pretty much makes naingolan a dead weight in contes eyes.

I don't think it's impossible that Nainggolan could be convinced to give a shit by Conte for 11 months and then fuck off to MLS/China for some money and alcohol.

It's also quite possible they meet and have a a disagreement and he gets sent away. Either way let's just hope we figure out in the next week or two if Conte wants to keep Radja and replace him now rather than the fallout happening in October or something.

Nainggolan strikes me as a dude that would like to lift a Scudetto in his career, he'll stick around and give his best.

Had no doubts over his work ethic in the second part of the season.

His work ethic was better in second part of the season that's true, and he definitely scored some important goals for us, but he still looked kinda off to me and even sluggish in some way. I don't know maybe I expected too much from him, cus even with one leg he is still more useful than someone like borja or vecino.

You expected a Top 5 Serie A midfielder, and you will get it next season.

We shouldn't sell by any means. Unless we get 40+ offer which won't happen.

With his bad start, bad attitude on and off the pitch, inconsistency, he still scored quite a lot for a midfielder and has few assists as well. Has been our top midfielder after Brozo.

With better coach and year later he can only get better. He is not that old, he is 31, and don't forget who Radja Nainngolan is. His presence alone in the midfield is a help.

Posters talk about his second half of the season as if he carried the team. Yes, he played better when compared to the first half of the season and scored some crucial goals, but that does not mean that he played to our expectations or as effectively as he could have.

I am surprised for what some supporters are prepared to settle for nowadays. We have clearly been in the wilderness and Shit Doldrums for too long.

I never saw him as a AM, he can be awesome in a 3-5-2 system. Even as a DM he can be usefull.
With the right attitude, Conte can transform him into a beast (he was some years ago)

We need Radja to be in better fitness level. Otherwise his value is restricted. Optimal would be that he isn't an automatic starter but in rotation with other midfielder(s).

Even fat and dead in the first half of the season he still looked like one of our better mids I don't know what that tells you guys but I wouldn't mind him for another year.

Latest rumours have him on Conte's chopping block as he already doesn't have plans for Raja. I would call BS immediately but it has come from Di Marzio....
