Valon Behrami

[Wallace]

Lets give Mazzari the whole Napoli squad then.

That's what we're planning to do, first Campagnaro, now Behrami, then Zuniga, and hopefully Pandev.

And for the rest of your reply, you are completely right. Mazzarri probably cannot work without his players, only until he acquire his optimal set of players for his optimal tactics, he'll succeed.

So Mazzari cant imagine his formation without his players. So after these players retire, Mazzari will retire?

Well, you don't really have to retire just because you don't do so well.

Not every coach is a winner, there are loser coaches, like Ranieri for example. Mazzarri can either settle for that, or he can retire like you said.

I really wish you'd give more thoughts before you reply to my serious posts, because these queries are quite simple really, you should be able to figure them out yourself.

And how much did Cesar contribute here or Essien at Real?

In cases like these, you should only consider what they contribute outside the pitch :troll:

Apparently Spurs are also interested...

Getting Behrami(which seems very very likely atm)will be justified in my book only if Kova and Hernanes get to spend more time up front rather being played as aditional full backsblivious:.I'm not saying they shouldn't help out defenders but everything has it limits.

If we play...4-3-2-1 or smth like that...which I still doubt tbh but if we play like this then....I admit Behrami could be usefull as he is quite a good "pure destroyer" but it gets on my nerves how dirty he can be.The refs could have a field day with him...especially if he wears the Neroazzurro which is like a magnet for refs to troll.That is my biggest issue with him.Otherwise he isn't such a bad player.I think he is better than Gargano tbh.Skill wise...

Have you ignored all the good posts that people have written the past few pages? Having some idiot like Behrami who runs a lot will not magically free up Kovacic and Hernanes to play beautiful tiki-taka football and rape opponents all over the pitch. Having a mediocre nobody like Behrami means that we'll be faced with the same shit that happened when we had Gargano, which in case you've forgotten, was a complete inability by a midfield to retain the ball or pass in an attacking manner. Again, Behrami, or any DM for that matter, is completely useless is he's being dragged all over the pitch and exposed by the woefully shallow defensive system which needs fixing.

To add to what I'm saying, the interest in Behrami would only ever be excusable if we had a top, top DM and Behrami was being bought as backup. He is likely not, however. Additionally, we have Taider who can offer so much more and not look like a giant faggot while doing so. As others mentioned, it's a sad trend we follow. All these shit defensive-based players. A midfields job is to retain the ball and pass it. At Inter, the midfield is simply a second, shitter wave of defenders. It's why the very pure essence of our gameplan depends on long balls from Campagnaro to the strikers, the midfield is meant to be bypassed.

 

[Cal]

No one's saying Behrami is the answer to our problems though. I too will be similarly pissed if Behrami is our only CM/DM singing.

 

[Ronaldo]

I really don't want to see Behrami here but If we try to insert him in our current team without any other sigining, think this formation could work:

---------- Handa
Jonathan - vidic - juan - Naga
-------- taider - Behrami
Palacio --- kova ------ hernanes
------------ icardi

Something like Inter under Mourinho with 3 AMs.

This would definitely give Kova and Hernanes more room to go forward.

 

[Pajo]

I don't think it can work, since there are too many player out of their position.

 

[Ronaldo]

Who is out of his position other than Hernanes?

 

[Cal]

Hernanes central attacking mid and Kova as the left wing as he's played there to great effect once or twice for Croatia I beleive.

 

[Pajo]

Palacio and Kova. Maybe even Taider, but he is good defender so it won't affect his performance imo.

Palacio is SS/wide forward. Can be the 'winger' in 4-3-3, but not in 4-2-3-1. Kovacic is DLP/LCM, every time he has played as AM has failed, either in Inter or in Croatia.

And Hernanes, as our best player on paper, should be utilized to use his strengths, not weaknesses. He is slow, not good in defense, and doesnt have very high workrate. For a winger in 4-2-3-1 you just NEED to tracks back a lot and work your ass off.

id anything, Kova and hernanes MUST change places.

 

[Inter2010]

This player can be good for us..... or just waste of money.

 

[Shaun]

We will either do well next season, or we wont.

Ok I agree Kova and Hernanes might need to switch places but I completely disagree about Palacio. He is winger, even when he is supposed to be a lone striker he just drifts to the side.

Taider's position is good as he is a b2b midfielder next to Behrami a pure DM.

Also I based the formation on current players plus Behrami. To me the defense and the position of Behrami and Taider is perfect. We might need to tweak the forwards once we get need players.

Also, Kova occasionally failed almost everywhere but he is young and will learn. In the Lazio game he was a bit more advanced and didn't do much defending. He can still play those great passes from the AM position. But to be honest personally I prefer him as a midfielder too.

Some might find the 4-3-3 a better formation but I chose 4-2-3-1 because Taider and Behrami could both be deployed in that formation and IMO that could give us a great defensive stability.

That team would average .5 goals a game

 

[ScottishInterista]

And it would be Vidic, Jonny or naga that would score it

 

[Choppin Onions]

If we hated Gargano, we're gonna hate Behrami. Fucking Mazzarri.

 

[Pajo]

Gargano is overall the better player of those two as well. Every Napoli fan will admit it.
