Adaption it is, but how much more time will he need??

The guy is 25. He's supposed to be in his prime but yet fails to even decide when to dribble or when to pass.

I think it has to do with a lack of confidence, he must gain that.

Alessandro · Nov 20, 2008

Someone should just send him all those fancy youtube video montages of himself... I'm sure he will gain some confidence off those... haha

lonewolf19 · Nov 21, 2008

I think he will be part of the starting lineup against Juve. Not too promising....

Joss · Nov 21, 2008

With balotelli and Obinna away on international duty, Quaresma may well start.

I hope is he relieved of his defensive duties though. He sucks when playing with his back to net, since hes too weak to hold off defenders, and is only effective when running at his markers.

When has he done that this season? I'd rather play Burdisso as winger.

After calming down, let me say currently our best lineup is Ibra with Cruz and Adri,if Mou thinks the drunkard should play. Otherwise Balotelli is miles ahead of Quaresma atleast form wise.

I would rather play 4-3-1-2 with Figo or Jimenez.

here here fanboy..shouldnt a 25yr old football, in his prime as you say, be able to pass and dribble?

He's not some kid picked up from the street. He's a great footballer, who may or may not make it at Inter. Simple as that. He needs time. Even if you play in an amateur league it will take you months to excel with your team mates, never mind such a big team in a big club but im pretty darn sure more than half of this forum hasnt even kicked a ball in their life to understand the dimensions heres.

finally, someone saying something wise and clever...

Platini took half a season to adapt to serie a. Now if such a great and established player took that time then it only goes to reason that rq will also take a bit of time. We need to be patient.

Jonnie_Venom89 · Nov 21, 2008

Time for Quaresma to shine against Jube! I pray that this is his THE MATCH he starts to kick some serious ass!

:star:

Patience, we need patience. The guy has all the talent in the world, and I bet, if we would sell him, and he would start playing like Pirlo, or Seedorf at Milan, half of those people here bashing him now, would be bashing us couple of years later, for giving Ricky away. Ahhh, people never change

I think that a family, wife, a kid, would do wonders for him, but he isn't this type of a person, yet. Just look what a real family made for Zlatan. He is 180 degrees different man, he was couple of years back.

So Mourinho should convert into a matchmaker maybe

. Maybe he can hook Adri up with a wife as well.

I agree, was only speaking In General. Personally i too would prefer Balotelli.

But than again I also dont blame Mourinho for insisting to play Queresma,even though he hasnt performed the goods yet. If mourinho would just give up on him so easily, than it would leave ppl to question his judgement and his credability.

So eithier Mourinho was naive about bringing in Queresma, leaving the inter management to think twice about brining in another Mourinho requested player or he shows everyone the much anticipated talent Queresma possess.

It would be a start

Totally agree with the first part of your post. The age doesn't matter. It is a new League, a new club, a new country and new teammates for him. He needs to adapt.

1- Not a fanboy, anti-RQ guy or someone.

2- Play football myself, I know that it takes time to adapt.

3- RQ has great raw talent, but that doesn't mean that he's a great footballer. He has done nothing to justify that, just hope that changes with us.

Devious · Nov 22, 2008

You guys are talking about Quaresma just like the way we used to talk about Recoba.

Azzkikr · Nov 22, 2008

Atleast Recoba occasionaly had great game as well.

RQ is yet to have one.

25 mill out the window.
