Yuto Nagatomo

[ElDuccio]

Meh when he came into a strong Inter side under Leonardo he was scoring for us. I think we should give him a poll for LGI only fair considering how long he was here.

If Nagatomo goes in the LGI section im gonna delete my FIF account and never come backokerface:

 

[Wobblz]

We need to come up with an encyclopedic definition of LGI and be done with those scholastic discussions who should be in LGI and who shouldn't.

Nagatomo for me, although he was dedicated to the club and a good guy in the dressing room doesn't deserve this high honor. Fuck, I could be a decent guy and dedicated to the club.

It was a shitty dark period, which we all hope is over, but if there's anyone from that dark period I'd honor with LGI it would be papa Palacio, who ran his ass of and lead by example each and every freaking game. He was also loyal, hardworking and likable, but unlike Nagatomo he had the leadership and the actual skill to make a difference himself.

Not enough could be said about Palacio and what he did for us. During these mediocre seasons he was one of the few reasons I'd tune into every match.

#MeToo has a new meaning

 

[Sassuolu]

He's a solid RB the world cup shows it, I can't think of too many Nagatomo mistakes leading to goals against us but the past 6 years have been a blur.

We need to come up with an encyclopedic definition of LGI and be done with those scholastic discussions who should be in LGI and who shouldn't.

It's not that hard really. The play has to pass some of the following categories. We could come up with a practical list which will be objective, I'll just have a go here:

1) Won titles at the club, with signifcant contribution.
2) Won individual awards or international cups and/or generally elevated the Inter brand name.
3) Scored a shit load of goals or was a top GK for many years, or generally was a top player for years while at Inter.
4) Been part of the team for 2 seasons or more (realistically it should be 5+ but it's harder these days)
5) Post-career has been promoting or supporting Inter. Or is also part of Inter Forever.
6) Did not show any affection - post-career mostly - to any of our direct rivals (Juventus or Milan, that is).
7)....

So if we figure out how many categories there, which, and how many a player has to check, we can have a relatively objective list. Nagatomo doesn't belong there regardless.

So from this category list we can argue that players like Maicon, Milito, Ronaldo and Vieri should all be part of a "Le Grande Inter" section. But since the name comes from a particular 60s team, it's unfair to use it. It was a name that was reserved for back-to-back European Cup winners. Maybe if the section is renamed, it'd be easier to come up with an objective name. I wouldn't say 'Hall of Fame' either, but something like Greatest Interisti.

 

[Tsuna]

I mean from your list alone naga has done more than 60% of that but too bad he still doesn’t belong according to your own accords

Nagatomo only meets point 4 and 6 really.

1. Won Coppa Italy our last trophy
2. Won Asian Cup with his assist, He won AFC best player, Elevating Inter brand in Japan and around Asia with continously selling most Inter Jersey in past 7 years also give us revenue with that tourist visit.
3, Our most productive fullback after Maicon, his best season under Mazzari is still no one cant beat.
4. Yes, being around since 2011
5. He always showing his love to Inter even after being lowkey kickout to Galatasaray
6. Naga is UNO DI NOI



Why criticize like he was the worst player in the team?
either people are having a high standard for inter or they just racist

this quote seems still relevant here..

and 1 and 2.

 

[CoolMan44]

and 1 and 2.

He won 1 Coppa Italia but didn't make much of a contribution and it's not titles

Don't remember about the individual awards.

 

[Balor]

He was a good player and that's about as much need be said. He's not deserving of the amount of hate he got during his time here (and even still is getting now in other threads after he is gone). But definitely not LGI worthy because that title has to really mean something and be reserved for the very best players to ever wear an Inter shirt. If we start setting categories to qualify like the ones above, then David Suazo is ticking an alarming amount of boxes.

 

[firmino]

i can agree ywith you with the 'hate' part, but he was a very bad player for the greater part of his adventure at Inter. he only improved towards the end, more or less the last year and a half

 

[Balor]

I really can't agree with him being very bad, I've seen Djimi Traore play over the years and that's what I consider a very bad player. As above, I don't consider Nagatomo a bad player, he was good under Leonardo and Mazzarri and you at least knew he'd try his heart out for 90 minutes so I just can't bad mouth the guy. Then again he was surrounded by so much shit throughout his time here it wasn't even funny thinking back on it.

 

[brehme1989]

He's not bad, he's just not a player of Inter's level and he's been around for 7 long years. That's pretty much the whole story. He a) should have never been signed and b) should have been sold within the first 18 months.

Obviously no one will say a thing about his character. It has nothing to do with anything.

 

[Handoyo]

Just gonna remind everyone that yea, there is a rule on LGI or FPC

It's pretty fucking simple: A poll, end of story

I don't think we need to bother doing one for Nagatomo since it's quite obvious what the result is gonna be. But if we see there are decent number of you supporting him, then why not.

 

[K.I.]

He would prob get in based on the votes

 

[Candreva Crosses]

I want to vote. He is the shit version of Zanetti. His personality on the field is class.

Please, Zanetti has no shit version.. Let alone this shit version is Nagatomo.
