    I've just had a lot of personal problems lately, and I feel like I need to turn the page, so I won't be visiting FIF anymore. Thanks again.

    So here goes… FIF has been a fantastic experience for me, finally being able to share my passion for Inter with fans across the world. I've learned a lot here, but I feel like the forum is too big a part of my life, so I won't be visiting FIF in the future. The purpose of this post was simply...

    Your REALISTIC Inter squad or line-up

    Icardi Bonaventura - Kovacic - Cerci Obiang - Cigarini Nagatomo - Juan - Rolando - Montoya Handanovic Palacio Maxim - X - Alvarez Taider - Hernanes D'Ambrosio - Vidic - Ranocchia - Jonathan Carrizo Mazzarri can go fuck himself. :work:

    2013/2014 Midfielders Rumours Thread

    Perhaps, but just to put things in perspective, Maxim has assisted or scored 41% of Stuttgart's goals this season. Pretty big accomplishment for a 23 year old, let alone to be the assist leader in one of the best leagues in the world (against the likes of Reus, Muller, Gotze, Draxler, Thiago...

    2013/2014 Midfielders Rumours Thread

    Iirc Alexandru Maxim has the most assists in the Bundesliga, but Stuttgart are destined for relegation this season He'll probably be available for a fee in the region of 5-7 million.

    Mateo Kovačić

    Tbh the arguments not to play Kovacic are strikingly similar to those posed last year in justifying dropping Coutinho from the starting lineup. Pirlo was also treated in a similar manner as Kovacic (as a substitute near the end of a match). - - - Updated - - - Interestingly enough, Kovacic...

    Pirlo and Seedorf

    That last quote is sig material tbh.

    Mateo Kovačić

    Wait a second I'm not saying we should bench players like Hernanes, with the goal being to mindlessly reduce the average age of the squad (by promoting players from the Primavera, building the team around the likes of Icardi, Kovacic, TAider etc) Rather, I just think Kovacic deserves more...

    Mateo Kovačić

    I'm not meaning to suggest anything along the lines of "Kovacic should start every week regardless of how he plays" But we need to remember that Inter paid 15 million for the young croatian, NOT for his current ability, but for his ceiling. The point of an investment is that it involves some...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Difference is we've already made a 15 million euro investment in Kovacic last January, and we need to have some faith in him. Obviously entitlement can be an issue, but certainly how Mazzarri is treating him isn't the right way to go Not to mention we shouldn't deny him a starting place based...

    Antonio Cassano

    People forget about "cassanata" far too easily tbh He's a wonderful player to have on the pitch, but he causes FAR too many problems off it

    Mateo Kovačić

    Honestly, I'd accept 2-3 years of relatively dismal results but PROGRESS in terms of integrating youth into the team, getting a TOP manager with clear ideas (Spalletti), building a tactically balanced side, reducing wages, develop a club philosophy (both on and off the pitch), and focusing on...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Honestly, I think Kovacic's creative attributes are being severely underrated, and Hernanes' contributions are being massively overrated There's a fucking reason Kovacic is the creative outlet of the Croatia NT, featuring the likes of Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic alongside him The point of...

    Hellas Verona - Inter (15 Mar 14)

    :palm: Did we win because we played amazingly well? Or were we the better side because our players are CLEARLY superior, and that their defence is shit? Answer that question honestly, then say that we played well, that the result CLEARLY derives from Mazzarri's brilliant tactics, or admit that...

    Hellas Verona - Inter (15 Mar 14)

    Mazzarri even made an approving gesture towards Hernanes as he was substituted out :palm:

    Hellas Verona - Inter (15 Mar 14)

    Agreed, but it's still undeniable that we overpaid for Hernanes.

    Hellas Verona - Inter (15 Mar 14)

    This was precisely the type of performance from Hernanes I was worried about. Predictably many (who only praise him based on a few stunning goals and his reputation) will argue that he's only had "1 bad game", when the reality is the other way around (he's only had 3-4 average performances).
