    Roberto Mancini

    Mancini brings Consistency, and in a long season thats what matters most. He may not be enough for big games or the CL but it depends on what stage a team is at. If Mancini was manager at Inter right now, most of those loses would be at least draws and some of those draws would become marginal...

    Andrea Ranocchia

    Its not that the arguments are extremely one sided; Only one is. The first argument is based on an assumption that a team with defensive set up does not expose its defenders as much as a team that plays with a high line and high ball possession. But this argument is very faulty and I am...

    Mario Balotelli

    Balotelli was reported to have been sold for 24 million pounds a year and half ago because he was deemed to be unmanageable. Man city are reported to have cut their losses and sold him to milan for 17 million euros or roughly 20 million pounds because a series of debacles and confrontations...

    Wesley Sneijder

    These lock-in/lock-out provisions are hard to enforce in some legal jurisdiction because they technically lack consideration, i.e Sneijder signing for an exchange of money or other benefit. Like mentioned above, these agreements are to enhance good faith negotiations and are enforceable for a...

    Wesley Sneijder

    Its normal for parties to have an agreement to negotiate or (lock-out agreement) specified for a certain date. But it seems like here so many people are experts that such an idea is incomprehensible.

    Wesley Sneijder

    As far as fifapro is concerned, Legally they have nothing. They do not have Duress or undue influence. There is no ILLEGAL explicit/implicit coercion, and second the nature of the demand is not unlawful. There is only two parties hard bargaining, and in terms of commercial relations...

    Claudio Ranieri

    Rainieri is not a mediocre coach, he is the best of the Unlucky loosers.

    2011/2012 Forwards Rumors Thread

    Ideally, Branca needed to reinforce the midfield and invest in a winger or two and I think he mentioned that directly. You speak of strategy, but for someone who has such a pessimistic nature I'm surprised that your so rigid when you evaluate strategy vs. probability. A strategy is essentially...

    Carlos Alberto Tévez

    An analogy is not supposed to be completely equivalent to the situation. Anywayz, I'm sorry i didn't exhaust my imagination enough for you.

    Carlos Alberto Tévez

    Getting Tevez is like going to the mall to buy a shirt but seeing nice deal on some boots that you can't toss up. It maybe summer but those boots will be needed when next season comes. SO you either make a good investment now or pay more for some other boots that you may not like as much down...

    Wesley Sneijder

    I can't see Man U paying 50+ for Wesley and thus I cant see him going. I also don't see Branca and the management to be pushovers. Mancini last year wanted Balotelli, the deal dragged on but the management got the price they wanted from Man city. These demands were met with Balotelli's bad...

    Wesley Sneijder

    $40 + Evra would be a fair deal

    Ricky Alvarez

    I would take a talented Argentine over a Brazilian one, because "in general" they are more disciplined and loyal footballers. It's hard to make this generalization but more cases than not, Brazilians once they make it big, begin to demand higher salaries and transfers to Real MAdrid or Barca...

    Gian Piero Gasperini

    This is the best way the management can make a decision without really making one. Keeping the status qua and ensuring that Baresi and the current staff stays on is better than a revolutionary Rafa style manager. His appointment can mean a lot of things but some people are so dramatic. if the...

    Wesley Sneijder

    There is no like for like replacement for Sneijder, but that's not the point. He's a great player but his sale will create the revenue for*investments in younger talents *Sanchez, pastore, Benega > Sneijder Not saying his sale will free up the cash to get the above players as it would take more...

    Rafael Benítez

    I remeber a time when Mourinho was considered as a figure whose personality was bigger than the club, but at least he proved worthy and elevated the status of the Inter in the past years.* On the other hand you have Rafa who Is for some reason more bigheaded and views his tenture at inter to be...

    José "The Special One" Mourinho

    I agree that introducing 5 new players to a starting XI will have its complications, but the complications are not as severe. Thiago and Diego plus Thiago and Eto, while Lucio-Maicon and Cesar, have all played with one another before. So the new arrivals do have some chemistry. Having said...

    2009/2010 Forwards rumours topic

    Prince, I know you like to dwell on specifics and your signature style of long posts, but thats all specifics that is devating from the point here. How highly regarded vidic, evra, or the next gerrard prodigy carrick would turn out to be still doesnt mean much. All those players were younger...

    2009/2010 Forwards rumours topic

    Whats this rant about Moratti having to sign 30+ million players or the Mickeymouse signings propoganda? Looking at the Man U lineup, who have reached the european finals for 2 seasons in a row; are in a sense full of those MICKEYMOUSE Signings. Vidic, Evra, Park ji sung, fletcher, Brown, and...
