2010/2011 Midfielders rumors thread

35 million pounds is nowhere near enough. Think about it this way, who on our team can replace Sneijder? The only player I can think would be Coutinho, and obviously he is not ready. Then, lets say you sell Sneijder with the intention of buying a replacement. Who out there is better than Sneijder that we can realistically purchase and call an upgrade?

Yeah. Pastore costs over 30m€ and he isn't as good as Sneijder. Ganso is probably too risky acquisition given his lack of euro experience + injuries related to the price (maybe 25-30m€) and obviously him being not as a good as Sneijder.

i think we shouldnt accept any bid lower than 50 mil euros. arsenal are asking for 50 mil for fabregas, sneijder is better and has achieved way more than fabregas in his career. so why should we accept 40mil?

abt banega,
i heard the same thing, that valencia r going to wait after the copa america to sell banega. maybe because they regret it that they sold villa before world cup and thats why they dnt wanna do the same mistake again

Cesc was the best player at the U17,U20 WCs and won a WC and is way younger. Sneijder won 1 champions league...... I'd rather have Cesc. Other than the obvious Sneijder is at Inter so he is better like when people said Ibra is better than Eto before we got Eto.

$35 Million + Nani would be good but I agree for the price teams want their stars for Sneijder for only 40 million is a joke. It would cost us 30 to bring Pastore who can be a huge flop. Unless Man United offers a buttload of money and a good players then maybe.

u just did not say that!!
r u joking?
fabregas is younger, 2 years? sneijder is 26 fabregas is 24. they r both young
best player U17, U20 ok so? alotta players were good when they were younger that doesnt mean they r good now.
fabregas won a world cup... how much did he play? 10 minutes? lol sneijder was the main reason netherlands made it to the final!!!
also why dont u count the league titles? with ajax, madrid and inter!! u count the stupid worldcup that fabregas had nothing to do with it but u dont count the league titles? the cups?
sneijder was the main reason (him and milito) that we won the treble. something that happened for the first time in italian football

i cant beleive u even compared sneijder to fabregas lol

u gotta get ur brain checked my friend.. im serious!

Except Moratti, none of our management said anything about transfers. They might be working "behind the scenes", you never know

Our season isnt over. Plus if any player wants to join us, he will probably wait for 3-4 days.

i agree with u guys, u r probably right but sometimes its just painful to see players like ricky alvarez sign for arsenal for free (if thats true). we r INTER! home of ariges. why dnt we go after talents like lamela and alvarez?

first time that i heard alvarez's name it was capitano mentioned him. why didnt we move faster if we knew abt him?

then again i dnt know. maybe this is all part of a plan. watever it is i hope we end up with some decent promising players not likes of kharja, mancini and muntari

For free? Where did you here that? He won't go for free for sure.

A summer move already looks like a done deal, with reports emerging from Argentina that Arsenal have snapped him up in a surprise free transfer.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/ed...d-ricky-alvarez-erik-lamela-and-the-argentine

i hope its not true.

he has an italian passport too, he wud be perfect for us!

Its goal.com. The president of the club he plays for said that he will only sell him for something similar to what they got for Zarate. And that was 14m.

i also read it in arsenal fan forums. they were saying that alvarez was transferred to arsenal for free because he had an injury recently. something like that im not really sure. u can google it and find out more abt it if u like. but its not only goal.com that says it, its all around the internet but nothing official, all rumors

but lets hope that its not true, even the rumor abt him going to arsenal

Now how good would it be if Moratti anounced some great signing tonight after we (hopefully) win Coppa Italia ?

Sniejder is still young and he is amazing, untouchable in my book.
Fabragas is amazing and i would surely buy him.
Pastore is increadibly young and amazing i would deff buy him.

Instead of a winger and CM id buy a AM and CM.
Sniejder a CM/AM
Fabregas a CM/AM

---Eto'o------Pazzini--
--------Pastore--------
-Sniejder---Fabregas-
--------Cambi---------

He wouldn't have to defend much, and he could still blast it from midfield.
He would still have 3 players in front of him but one alongside to him as well.
That small core of passers would have us move the ball so well defenses would tremble.

Calciomercato.it reports that we're interested with Lass Diarra.

Finally, I have always thought that Lass would be amazing in Calcio. He can run till tomorrow, has a good first touch and can make the simple passes easily. Also can help marking fast players.

Muntari + Mariga replaced with Banega + Lass ??? Lass would be an amazing signing though.

Lass Diarra could be fine, but he has to be just a replacement for Mariga and be put ahead of Stankovic in the pecking order ON THE BENCH. Diarra is not a starting material midfielder we need. We have enough those defensive minded players.

After the copa match i'm of the idea that we need a fucking revoulution in midfield . Zaneti , dejan and mota were invisible on the field . THey provided 0 to the attacking phase of the game and almost 0 to the defensive phase if not positional barriers.
Zanetti is a legend but we can't congratulate him for a run in the 90th minute and forget the other 89 of nothing to mention.
Stankovic shows now a clear situation . He just can't play second halfs anymore . We can't keep a player as a starter just to wait for a long shot to turn out good.
Motta . Well i'm sorry but he should pack his bags. He is a creative force but if his legs are so week we just can't count on him.

btw why aren't we interested about inler . For me he is way better than fernandinho (from that few i've seen of him)

Pretty well summed up. Not one of those midfielders should be a starting players for a team hunting for CL victory. And no, do not take our treble into this discussion. That is past, that is history, it will never happen again like that for Inter, with that kind of team (unless Mourinho comes back some day which doesn't seem too likely).

Calm down buddy, you must be watching the game but not really seeing what happens on the field.

Zanetti is a beast out there, he is the most consistant player on the field everygame.
He trains everyday to stay fit, and has been like a fine wine getting better with age.
He may be finding his way to the backline next season, as we plan to bring in new midfielders.
He is set to retire in 2 seasons when he turns 40.

I do agree that Motta sucks half the time its his errors which kill us.
Mottas mistakes cause other players to look bad because he doesnt play well.
Cambiasso is one of the best DMs in Europe, his sitting bench for motta is BS.

Stanko is great but will be bench as we bring in a new midfield talent or two this summer
Stanko will be retired by when FFP kicks in.

We can congratulate Zanetti becuase he is a LEGEND, you may not realize how much he does out there.
We had a treble season because our Defense was legendary in Samuel & Lucio at CB with Chivu at LB.
Chivu is a CB who can play SB.
Our other SB is Maicon who is like a steaming trian when he charges foward. Hes strong and Physical.
Two defensive tanks Zanetti & Cambi in mid that destroy teams.

We are Defensive Juggernauts not some flashy passing team like Barca, we destroyed them because there all speed and creativity at all positions but we fielded Defensive Legends who know how to handle them.
As they press foward we break up their attack and get the ball to Sniejder who is one of the best playmakers in Europe who has one of the best SS (Eto'o) and the best #9s (Milito) At his disposal.
Pandev was our weakest link who we had planned to replace with Balotelli.

This year we were hit by Injury all over but mostly on defense, Even Julio Cesar was recovering which showed in his performances.
Our other major mistake was not using Coutinho over Pandev but we will be buying a player for the wing this summer.

Hey assasin before posting as a quote try reading once more your own post and you will find that you say the same things as me but with more sugar in it + some other things that had nothing to do with my post.

Anyway as cafe said treble is history such as the barca game. But still i will make you a simple comparison between the 1st barca game and the copa game that we both played in counter attack and both won in order for you to notice the real decline of our midfield.
The only thing you have to compare is the number of saves that our defenders made in the palermo game in comparison with the barca one. I can assure you that tonight there were way more and this is not because palermo is tougher than barca but because our midfield not only doesn't create but can't even manage to keep up with the faster and younger opositions anymore making lucio and others resolve situations in a heroic way .
