Sulley Muntari

[Forza ragazzi]

...Zlatan, Crespo, Chivu, Samuel, Maicon, Maxwell, JC? Thats ignoring Cuchu which might or might not have been Mancini's choice.

I believe JC, Maicon, Samuel and Zlatan excels most players that is participating in CL in their own spot.

Our results prove that they don't cut it. But truth be told, we have been unlucky with injuries and suspensions. And Mancini was hopeless tactically. What I mainly was referring to was players like Konko, Inler etc.

Great article, completely spot on.

Much of what ive been writing lately.

If i didnt know better i would think that the writer stole his thoughts from me...

 

[Suneet]

When I read it I felt you've written it.

 

[AntonTheGreat]

Can't say i agree though

His argument is weak. James surgue's main argument is whether Muntari was Moratti’s or mourinho’s signing and he supports this by using two weak sub arguments to support his claim.

In His First argument he seems confused as he argues that Muntari can play on the wing, but then narrows his argument by saying that the wings are already heavily stocked. So he was bought for the midfield.

Well no shit he was bought for midfield, I don’t think anyone doubted that. It was a very poor argument and seems like he just had nothing else to write so he tried to narrow Muntari’s position and open his second argument about the central midfield position.

Then going to his second sub argument, which is “what does Muntari add to Inter midfield”, as Inter already has many midfielders who can play his role. Which, although is a good argument to attack on its own, it on the otherhand works against James’s main argument of who requested Muntari; Moratti or Mourinho.

His second sub argument can work against him more then towards him, because it could mean that Mourinho sees abundance but not enough quality and thus wanted to invest in another player for that position. To support this claim all one has to do is argue is Stankovic’s highly rumoured departure and Mourinho’s own words of how he sees a big hole in the midfield.

Yea he must have been reading my posts on these boards, the similarities are almost scary:scared:

Atleast he could have included me as his source of inspiration :lala:

 

[Azzkikr]

It doesnt matter who's signing it is, its still a bad signing regardless who requested him.

I dont know the writer even bothers to bring up this issue. He is obviously (like me) against the transfer, so it doesnt matter who's signing it is.

He should pay more attention to my posts, then he would have avoided that mistake.

Well like i said his main argument is not well supported, and he would have done better to argue his second sub argument. But overall it was horrible.

No its wasnt, the key part is, like ive said 250 times, that Muntari is simply not needed. He has characteristics that plenty of our midfielders already got, and he is not better than them and he bring nothing new to the team.

This is the key part, no one in their right mind can argue against it. That aswell as what we needed was a player who could make the needed linkup from midfield to attack.

Our habbit of buying expensive substitutes is getting ridiculous, first the failure Suazo last season - 14 m € and now this 16m€ Muntari signing :wallbang:

Mindblowing to say the least.

People here didnt want another striker, because we have plenty so its not needed, yet they support the Muntari signing even tho its the same issue basicly, its a type of player we have plenty of.:drunk:

How anyone can be in support of this super expensive mediocre substitute is beyond me.

It wouldnt have been a weak argument if he tried to argue that Muntari wasnt needed, but he tries to argue the man behind the signing (mourinho or Moratti). He actually says Muntari is a excellent signing for Inter if u read the last paraghraph. So overall it was a poorly executed argument for the reasons i already stated above. Whether he had a good point doesnt matter, what matters is the strength of his entire argument and the main reason behind his claim of who was the person behind the signing.

 

[Azzkikr]

Just because he is an idiot and has a poor main argument doesnt make his points less true.

Most of the points are spot on.

 

[Ajesh]

It really does matter who's signing he is because Jose will demand signings but it is the Inter Management specifically Branca & O who had to convince him not to go for this one.They Management cannot back their own players like Pele and co who are going to do the same work.

So it once again proves that they are inept.

 

[Hasan]

Muntari have same characteristic like Cambiasso, Javier and Vieira? That's whole point of arguing. He's good player but we already have three players with same characteristics? That's the story you repeating in ten posts in a row so...

Nobady in our middlefield have such a bomb in his legs like Muntari, nobody except Zanetti can run with a ball like him, nobody in our middlefield is so strong and nobody isn't young like him. When did you see that Cambiasso, Zanetti and Vieira tried long range shot?

Agree to some extent.

 

[Azzkikr]

So he can run abit faster and tends to balloon the ball more, so does stankovic... These are hardly qualities that makes him into the game controlling midfielder and leader we desperately need to unite the midfield and make a proper linkup between midfield and attack that we have lacked for so long.

It doesnt change the fact that he posseses none of the characteristics we needed and his primary contribution lies in areas where we are already well covered with better players. Its 16m€ for a substitute who adds nothing new, just more of the same.

Stop defending this ridiculous transfer please. Put the silly fan mentality aside for just a minute please, its good to proud and defensive about your team and its players, but there are times when its just ridiculous and this is one of those times. The whole football world is laughing at our mercato, everyone was affraid mourinho would turn our side into a real CL contender, instead we only managed to get fringe players that wont make our starting 11 go up in quality, Muntari is one of these players.

Muntari is yet another case a of a transfer of a semi-good player that no other big team wanted, so we got him.

 

[A.l.i]

Jose will sure have something to say about that.

 

[F U C K MILAN]

great signing in a couple of months time everybod will be glad he is an inter player hopfuly

 

[AntonTheGreat]

we should be, he's a class player, and will is a huge improovement on viera dacourt, and even JZ in the position. So i dont know why people are saying he wasnt a good signing

 

[Azzkikr]

Perhaps we should buy the entire portsmouth midfield, when only their 3rd best midfielder apparently is such a huge upgrade.

 

[AntonTheGreat]

An oppinion none the less, how can you say he was 3rd best, where does that assumption come from. Goals don't make him the best, the fact that he was important in every game is what you should judge a player on. He was consistent and played MOM games every time he was on the field. Most people who watched the EPL games can agree, maybe not the aggrivated portmouth fans though ha. We robbed them of someone who even REDKNAPP said was one of their best PLAYERS.
