10 years of FIFWow, this Branca thing is new.
I remember Motta pushing to leave but at the time he was a player we depended on so much, no wonder we went down the crapper when he was gone.

10 years of FIFEternal underestimated hero. We really could have used him another four years or so when you see the crap we've got in return: Gargano, Kharja, Kuzmanovic...

10 years of FIFI'm pretty sure last season he would still have been one of our best midfielders at the age of 34, if not the best.
T. Motta - Cuchu Cambiasso, che coppia. Tactical class at it's finest.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHe was injured for a long time before we sold him.
We barely got a glimpse of Motta under Benitez and then he got sold midseason.
FIF in general was never very fond of Motta until late on in the triplete season. Because he wasn't flashy in anything he did.
For me he was the Cambiasso IQ equivalent on the ball, while Cambiasso was a class on his own without the ball in possession.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHe carried Rainieri's Inter to a 7 game winning streak before leaving, he was indispensable, we signed an injured Guarin instead.

Best Overall PosterWhile Motta would have been an intriguing option in the summer, i believe he's a risky choice right now considering Genoa's current condition. Anyway, i always liked him as a player so i wish him the best. Good luck Thiago!

10 years of FIFI always felt we moved him on too early. I loved the quiet but effective way he went about his work. He worked tirelessly in our midfield and was a pleasure to watch. A really good player.
I do not think Inter realised and valued what they had in Motta until he left for PSG. What's the saying? "Sometimes, you don't know what you have got until it's gone".

10 years of FIFI seem to remember whatever coach we had at the time telling the management 'whatever you do in January, don't sell Motta' and then, well, we did exactly that. It took us moving Brozovic to that metronome role to finally replace him, some 6 years later
Anyway, big up Thiagone managing Go-Go Goran. They've got Juve in 8 days.

I don't know what had pissed me more in that transfer window. The fact we sold Motta or that we replaced him with Angelo Palombo and an injured Guarin

So he won the first game and to top it off, everyones favourite treble winner Pandev scored. I think someone with his character would have a pretty good managerial career. Not many people have the mental strength to climb to the top again and again after all those injuries.
