Zanetti and Emre were injury prone not average.

I sort of liked Cristiano Zanetti but he was a limited player. He was no Di Biagio or Almeyda, just to mention two similar players we had who were better but not world class.

With Emre I never got the hype, good on the ball, average passing for his role, decent dribbling but nothing great, his shooting was awful and this was a time where you needed midfielders to shoot more and he lost the ball too easily at times because he was fragile and physically weaker than his competition. He was a great prospect when we signed him at an early age, had one solid season, but he never really improved. David Pizarro was a humongous upgrade over him, only shame was that Mancini couldn't take advantage of it.

Here's an interview with him on Goal.com's Facebook Page.

Stefan shares that it was Spalletti who called him and convinced him to join us. Also talks about Icardi, De Ligt, Suarez, etc.

Very good player but makes too many mistakes. His lapses in concentration & poor reaction time on entry passes is just not good enough for where we want to be.

If Godin does come, deV is probably on the bench.

Eh, if starting next season Stefan de Vrij is our weakest CB then I'd say we have absolutely no problems in this sector.

Yeah, he does make a few mistakes, luckily for him I can't recall us conceding any goals direct from them.

He def looks like a solid defender but then you look at replays and over time u see he makes a lot of defensive mistakes, gets wrong footed a lot, passes go through him and behind him easily. Maybe if he improves his positioning and timing he will be better.

Well with a player like Godin coming in he’ll have competition, which can only be good for him. Long term though he looks like the partner for Skriniar unless Bastoni develops a lot.

Godin will be another Vidic.

This dude is 27 he doesn’t need to be anyone’s understudy. He needs to be sold or Skriniar to bring money. If Godin is going to start

Why sell part of a winning formula. Hell I wouldn’t even do anything to disrupt it. It’s as if Inter problems are in defense. If you want a winning team you keep ur jewels and take out the trash. This money thing shouldn’t be a factor these days.

Unfortunately it still is until 1st of July, given that we will fix it by that date. Which means making money so probably someone needs to be sold.

Completely out of left field but can you imagine the sheer plusvalenza we could get from Icardi, Perisic + De Vrij sales if Godin is a cheap replacement and we properly invest that money over the entire squad.

De Vrij is great and I have no problem keeping him but if Barca are signing the Murillos of this world then we should be able to get 45 million easily these days.

Pipedream over.

Agreed. I'd do it for the 100% profit, although deVrij has been great. Godin isn't like Vidic cuz Godin is still good.

He often plays Robin to Skriniar's Batman, but today he was simply outstanding.

He had a really good game I thought. He sometimes has issues not marking his man properly, but I thought he was especially good today. He's great at moving up with the ball and had a great pass to Perisic for a counter attack. I love the fact that we have him and Skriniar together.

If we had a decent set piece taker, this guy would have had more than one goal this season..

Maybe I am less concerned about defense but I never saw any visible fuck up from him.
