Sulley Muntari

[tony]

Well in the 10 years before Calciopoli we were the most spending club in the world and the result was nothing...4 years ago Moratti's transfer policy changed and concentration began on the needs of the team and the high value for money and the result is 4 years of italian domination...guys it's easy to spoil money and then get nothing...what we're doing is the right thing...chelsea spend 200 M every year and last 2 years he got nothing...buy players u really need with realistic prices and ull be successful....IMHO Quaresma doesnt deserve more than 20 M...

You guys are forgetting that economically, Italy is the sick man of europe. People need to take this into consideration

Moratti is spending more on his club then any other owner. Even Berlusconi who is the richest man in Italy and owns the rights 90 % of Italian televison revenues hasnt spent more then Moratti in the past 4 years.

Moratti is anything but cheap and is willing to spend but at the moment things are tough. In 5-6 years things could completely change. But for the time being hes doing much better then the rest.

Well said Joss...I don't know how anybody can pay 40 Mil for Quaresma...who never played in Italy...injury prone and has a history of big club flop...
And also how can anybody pay more than 15 Mil for a 30 year old player who you can get next year for free....guys make sense...

I don't know how many of you actually followed Lassana Diarra, but I do think he is better than Muntari. And to say Muntari is better or as good as Essien is pushing it far.

Like I said, I am okay with this move, but some Inter fans have this habit of exaggerating our players, this makes it hard when reality hits.

Hamed, I havent seen much of Lassana Diarra, but this guy is a proven faliure. he failed at Chelsea and then at Arsenal. How do you think he can perform big at Inter.

Muntari hasnt had a shot playing a big team. I dont know how he did in the English league. Most of the EPL fans say that he is really good, he was the best player for his team over there, and even led his team to some Cup.

What I am basing my rating of Muntari is on his performances with Udinese. This guy was a beast for Udinese. He stayed in Italy for 5 years, and has come through the Udinese youth academy. He led a completely average team to a CL spot. While every one was complimenting Pizzaro, Muntari was the steel man in the middle because of which they achieved that.

Muntari does not only have physical presence, but also a great deal of technical ability. The only two things I worry about him is his erratic passing, and a big temper.

And its not like we are exaggerating an Inter player. He is a potential signing, and I was even saying last year, that we should have signed him.

Azz and Hademi,

You guys are obviously bothered that we didnt sign a midfielder with different characteristics such as Diego etc...

Although your right, creativity is our problem but just because we didnt sign an attacking midfielder it does not mean we cant fix this problem.

There are usually many alternative solutions to one problem. Jose believes to think he can solve our problem by using two wide creative players playing in front of midfielders who will keep possession and have a stronghold on the midfield.

If that is the case, then Muntari's signing makes perfect sense.

And btw, I think having two wide players creating is more effective then having only one behind two strikers being our only focal point of attack.

With the wingers, we can have them alternating sides, dropping back in the hole and link up with our full backs etc...

You might not agree wit Jose's tactical choices and players needed to fit that choice, but hey his coach and we arent, so all we can do is support hi and hope it works out in our favour.

Peace.

Great posts from helal and shahz. Diego type of player is just too much in 4-3-3 formation, who will defend?

Thats kid-talk.

Do you even read my posts? If not, please refrain from using my name in your posts.

Im bothered we didnt sign a leader type like Lampard to unite our midfield, nothing to do with Diego or some other creative AM.

Please read my posts before you use my name next time.

Exactly.

We need a leader in midfield to make us go up in quality, someone with vision who can unite the midfield, none of our current midfielders can do this. Lampard could potentialy do so.

Most big team has such a player, milan has pirlo, chelsea has lampard/ballack, Barca has Xavi, L'pool has gerrard, united has Scholes, Arsenal has Fabregas, Roma has Totti ect ect ect.

These players dont have the same football qualities, but they share the quality that they all complete their respective midfield, has the vision to make the plays go fluently and such. They properly controls their midfield, acts as leaders.

We dont have such a player and havent had one since Mattheus, and it shows. We desperately need such a player.

Muntari will change nothing, complete waste of money.

And please spare the bullshit about "mourinho believes Muntari can be this player, so i believe that also", beacuse thats absolutely ridiculous.

If you cant think for yourself, dont bother responding.

Its not a about creativity. Its about leadership and control in the midfield.

We have none at all, and havent had since mattheus. We have a bunch of physicaly great midfielders with average football abilities, thats not good. You need a leader in midfield with vision who can dictate the play and allow our other midfielders to come forward and have the team work as a unit. No character in our midfield no one take charge at all.

It doesnt matter how good your forwards and wingers are if you got no proper linkup or understanding with the rest of the team.

Vieira was probably bought with the intend to be this player, but he cant fufill this role anymore, he is nothing but a squad player anymore. Lampard could be this player.

And muntari isnt this player, Muntari fits the same discription as the rest of our midfielders, physically great but with average football abilities. He wont make a difference, as he bring nothing new to the team and isnt even better than the players we already have who has the same strenghs/weakneses as Muntari does.

This is not a rant about Muntari being a bad player, there is just simply no need for him and he wont make the needed improvements, its 15m out the window and smells of desperation because we couldnt get lampard.

Where do i say anything about Diego, AM's, creativity or anything you mentioned?`In fact im actually saying creativity ISNT the issue when it comes to buying the right CM...

 

[Ajesh]

Azz I am not sure if Muntari is Branca and O's signing if they wanted him so badly we would have been more than stongly linked with him before.

Pretty Sure its Mourinho's back up plan for failure to sign Lampard.

Very much agreed. Plus we could field Ibra with two wingers. Creativity must not necessarily come from midfield, although I feel we could be more unpredictable with a creative force there as well, given that he doesn't take up too much space and can work also as a midfielder without the main responsibility for creativity.

Anyway, we've made steps forward with two wingers this summer (most likely), next year we'll perhaps focus on a creative midfielder. Everything can't be done at once. I'm sure the club is going in the right direction.

Azz of course I didnt read your posts, because it would just be the same stinking shit as usual

I just assumed you were talking about how cute Diego is.

If you cant respond to a conversation without being harsh then I suggest you need not reply.
