This guy made no sense from the beginning. We could have bought Bellanova instead. He provided some depth at least.

He was a panic buy when Beppe's brilliant idea to bring gobbo failed miserably.

I'll never understand why we bought a career right back and tried to force him into being a LWB. It makes zero sense.

That wasn't initially the plan. At first he came to cover the absence of Cuntdrado. But the emergence of Bisseck pushed Darmian into a more advanced role so we were set on the right. Instead Inzaghi used him on the left where he had only Augusto as a cover for two positions.

Sure, but Darmian has played extensively on the left in his career.

Watch us sell this idiot for €4m.

Low tier player, bought for an appropriately low tier price, performed at a low quality level and now being sold for a low price. Absolute fucking waste of time.

When we got him, he reminded me to Lazaro. It seems that he has the same career at Inter as him 😄

Perhaps he'll spend three years on loan at Torino to fulfill his destiny.

Not saying this guy is a world beater but we’ve given him zero chance to succeed here. I think he’s literally played in his best position as a starter one time?

Very poor management of a potential asset.

True. But I think he just has not the level required to play more minutes.

The guy wasn’t a sure starter at Brugge ffs. Probably someone saw something in him, but that someone probably saw that wrong…

I said this in the summer that this guy's career at Inter is pretty much over. He missed the preseason completely with the injury and many months when the season started. It's a bit hard to find space after that. Specially as he arrived just 6 months before so he had never had a preseason with the coach.

Can't say about his potential. Maybe management saw something in him. Maybe it is there, but the biggest reason of the current situation is the injury, not the coach. Can you blame Inzaghi for not using the guy? Yes, he gets rare chances but maybe there's a reason for it? And he has never had a game which would speak to his favour ("we need to use this guy more").

It's also hard to have a good game when you're never put in position to succeed.

This transfer was a classic Inter institutional failure. We bought a mediocre player, didn't play them, and when we did it was in a position they're not suited for. Throw in an injury, and you've got a complete waste of money.

It's super similar to Lazaro, who had never played RWB before we signed him. At least Buchanan cost half as much and will be easier to sell.

Don't have one.

He played approx two times in his natural position, no exaggeration. I really doubt he was that bad in training that inzaghi couldn't give him more chances there. So maybe he is a flop, but I can't say that with any sort of integrity without saying first inzaghi mismanaged him.

why the hate here? I thought he was looking promising, and i'm just happy he's back after he broke his leg in the summer. He cannot be fully fit, give him a break.

we are extremely lucky that our best wingback is the least injured

Needs to get some cameo appearances, at least.

By far the quickest player we have yet seems allergic to just knocking it past a wide defender and running past. Unreal.
