Samir Handanovic

[Uncommon]

Valdez is a pretty good keeper. He's not world class, no, but he's pretty good. If it wasn't for Casillas, he'd be much higher rated.

If there wouldn't be Casillas he would still be nr 2. behind Pepe Reina. Barcelona's weak point.

Even though valdes isn't much highly rated he is still over rated, hid attempts at times are hilarious

Handanovic IS world class keeper. It's not opinion, it is a fact, he is the best in Serie A the past 2 years, along with the likes of Cesar and Buffon.

ATM for me he is in top5 in the world. Casillas is Number 1, the very best, but the next four, or even 9, don't have much difference in quality. And Handanovic is definitely one of them.

So half of Handanovic for 9m+half of Faraoni? What is he worth? 25m?

Don't think we can put Handa anywhere near players like Cech, Valdes, Neur, Buffon e.t.c for the simple fact that he's played at fuckin UDINESE. Let's see his nerves and mentality while playing under BIG pressure for a big team. Just ask De Gea about the difference between playing for Atletico and playing for ManU.

Wrong.

 

[Solfice]

I think he has enough age and experience for Inter. And Valdes is shit. Saying that Handa isin't anywhere near those other names is big underestimation. That fucking UDINESE finished third last year.

Is this a real comment or a joke? Are you comparing Udinese to fuckin Bayern, Chelsea, Real, ManUand Barca?

Come on dude. Just because they finished 3rd doesn't make them a big team. Go talk to their fans today. If they finish 3rd or if they finish 10th, they don't fucking care. Their expectations are LOW. If gk makes an error in a game, he might get some howling from fans for a bit and that's it. Go ask De Gea. Make a mistake in a game for manU and shit is HEADLINE IN ALL NEWSPAPERS. Pressure that he might lose his spot to #2 gk. People calling him garbage for MONTHS. It is just not the same. And Atletico is way bigger than Udinese. Go ask JC. Dude fucking WALKED HOME IN SHAME. Next season, he is being replaced. THAT IS PRESSURE.

Come on man. I thought things like this are common sense. Go talk to a Bayern fan and if they don't win bundesliga every year, it is a failure. Go talk to Barca fans and if they don't win La Liga and CL AND with style, it is a fucking failure. Clearly, the pressure is nowhere near being the same.

Note, I am not saying Handanovic is a bad gk. I think he is good. All I am saying is, we're comparing apples to oranges if we're comparing handa to those other GKs. They are playing at uber high levels and with mega pressure. Look how many times Valdes has to face Ronaldo, Ozil, Benzema...then CL facing top teams with top, top players. Same thing for Neur..this year was a HUGE step up for him going to Bayern, where everything is magnified 10000%. Handa is facing nothing that is comparable.

We will see what Handa is made of now that he has stepped up a bit.

 

[thatdude]

Helps he'll have EL to deal with this year. Diet CL before getting into the heavy stuff. I think he'll be alright though, he's old enough to understand what it is he's facing. He's been in Serie A for a long time and taken some hard knocks on the way to the top.

 

[MANTA]

So the argument against Handanovic now is he might not be able to handle the pressure of a big club? I am sorry, but that is BS.

Is that the high risk factor you are looking at right now? A 27 year old keeper who has played in Serie A for 5 years and the his ability to handle pressure is suddenly a concern? I could kind of understand this about a 21 year old from a low level league, but a player mature player who has been consistent in the league for years now? So players like Di Natale, Isla, Sanchez are at high enough risk of not being able to handle pressure that clubs should actually think twice before signing them?

Whether you consider him a world class keeper or not, it is very hard to argue that his form in the last 2 years doesn't make him the best keeper in Serie A.

 

[n4l]

Jesus christ....it makes no sense discussing anything on this forum. Why don't you read? Please show me where I am AGAINST Handa?

The argument about pressure is used strictly for those comparing him to other goalkeepers. That is it.

 

[Pajo]

I get where i4e is coming from, and he get some point.

BUT. Handanovic is TWO years in a row chosen for the best Serie A keeper. And he is soon to be 28, is not u24 young GK. I know it's not the same playing for Inter and Udinese, but still, he has shown that he has talent, is one of the best there is, is in his best years, AND is experienced enough. De Gea is still too young, and last year improved like 200% till the end of the season. Even Neuer was/is not experienced enough, although in him i see the future best.

That being said, even though it's true that we should wait and see how he copes with playing in big team, i believe the chances of mental breakdown are slim.

Real comment. Where or when did I compare Udinese to those clubs?

Come on dude. Just because they finished 3rd doesn't make them a big team. Go talk to their fans today. If they finish 3rd or if they finish 10th, they don't fucking care. Their expectations are LOW. If gk makes an error in a game, he might get some howling from fans for a bit and that's it. Go ask De Gea. Make a mistake in a game for manU and shit is HEADLINE IN ALL NEWSPAPERS.

Next season, he is being replaced. THAT IS PRESSURE.

First, I would disagree that Udinese fans wouldn't give a shit if they would finish third or tenth. The whole argument is flawed, every fan would like to see your team as high as possible and lets not forget all the extra money the team would get from CL and sponsors and so on.

Secondly, english media is totally different animal. They will rip a new hole for everybody if you happen to fuck up. Also De Gea is younger, less experienced. You can clearly see that ManU is investing in future with this young dude, real gamble to appoint so young GK as a first goalkeeper.

Come on man. I thought things like this are common sense. Go talk to a Bayern fan and if they don't win bundesliga every year, it is a failure. Go talk to Barca fans and if they don't win La Liga and CL AND with style, it is a fucking failure. Clearly, the pressure is nowhere near being the same.

Your whole argument is that just because he comes from not so big club as ManU or Barca he will fail, he wont handle the pressure. He has played in CL, several years in Serie A, he isn't some kind of rookie.

Note, I am not saying Handanovic is a bad gk. I think he is good. All I am saying is, we're comparing apples to oranges if we're comparing handa to those other GKs.

Are you trying to tell me that in Serie A we don't have world class players like Ronaldo, Özil, Benezema and so on? :serious:

Your whole logic is so flawed.

:chan:

We cannot compare Handa to those keepers because they have been playing at the highest level of the game while Handa has definitely not.


Whether or not Handa will come to Inter and completely boss it is not relevant. Right now, today, it is apples to oranges.

 

[Doffy]

true story tho. valdes is a fucking beast. last 2 or 3 season guy has been bossing la liga. i honestely think he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. with him and casillas and xavi and iniesta and silva and fabregas and torres and llorente and pique, and jordi alba... spain is really blessed.


handanovic on the other hand is still a question mark... id like to see him in action before calling him world class. lol i dont think he is world class tho. maybe a good gk or very good even, but world class? really guys? :notbad:

im really curious how he will do. ^^

valdes is a joke of a keeper, the only reason barca keep him is cause he can play with his feet. handanovic does not need to prove anything, inter will not play cl next, mostly serie a games, where he excels.

Today in his presentation in Pinzolo, fans were booing him and were shouting Cesars name.

Can't imagine how Handanovic was feeling. It's not his fault Cesar is "thrown" away and Handa is his replacement.
