2009/2010 Midfielders rumours topic

[Marcello]

Isnt it tooo late to say that?

1 creative player

Dario, you have to understand that Inter is the only team in the world who changes their entire squad every year and it's not healthy and that is why we never win shit. So why the hell would you want Quaresma, Nasri, Tevez in this team when we are right now probably the strongest in all of Europe it doesn't make sense.

Players like Kovac, Jimenez and Rivas are what we SHOULD be looking for.

Mike, I never said we should change the entire squad ! Only Suazo, Chivu + 1 playmaker that's all... Chivu replacing Grosso, Suazo not 100% starter (depends on him) and a playmaker to replace Figo (because he can't play all the matches... in fact I don't think he can pull off an entire game)

I never said i want all of them [Quaresma, Nasri, Tevez] - but I believe we need a skilled playmaker with plenty of creativity in order to battle for the Champions League! (That's why we play with 4-3-1-2, right?) Nasri will be available only next season. Tevez seems heading to Man Utd and Quaresma is linked with Liverpool.

I believe Quaresma can do it just like Figo in AM ! Figo was a winger too before joining us! Now Figo could teach him how to make play not only cross and pass lethaly...

but I would be satisfied with Diego or Deco... I don't know about Riquelme...


maybe we will stick to Vieira-Cambi-Zanetti midfield + AM (Figo/Stankovic) and LOAN IN Jimenez... see how he does in the AM role.. if he's ok we buy him after 1 year... if not we saved money and we can buy Nasri.

But i would sign Diego he is pure skill ! Young and determined ! he can be our Kaka`

 

[Suneet]

See Dario, players like Kaka arent born everyday.

Offcourse your idea of loaning Jimenez is good. But you never know what happens in the future, no one can predict it.

Mancini has a plan in his mind so if that requires a playmaker I'm sure Moratti will get him one.

Quaresma is a good player but he is nowhere compared to Figo who joined us and had all the experience a player could have. Quaresma has failed once at a big club and he will definetely find it more difficult than Figo to adapt to the AM position we need. His high price makes signing him a big-big risk.

 

[Alex de Large]

Only Diego is a playmaker. And i would love to have him.
Quaresma and Nani = wingers, Tevez = second striker, like Ibra.

 

[DARi0]

ok then splash the cash on Diego - he is not a risk !
we are not even linked to him... :irritate:
Deco is also an option... Figo recommanded him.

Jimenez LOAN would be easy but i hope he won't be another Mariano Gonzalez....

There's risk in any transfer.

Because Quaresma's style is so similar to Figo's, we can get Figo to help Quaresma learn to play in this free role in the team.

You said that Quaresma is nowhere compared to Figo, and that he doesn't have the experience compared to Figo, but those are even logical reasons to stop us signing Quaresma. This season will be Figo's last, and we will have to find a heir sooner or later. Quaresma is out there in the market, and because he has "experienced" top flight football, he really should have learned how to adapt to a new team.

And also, because Figo is there, there isn't a better person to help Quaresma settling in Italy, if we don't sign Quaresma, who should?

I said it before and I'll repeat what I said: Quaresma is not a play maker.

Yes he's talented and he has dazzling skills that can embaress any opponent, but he can't dictate play. Why should we splash 25mm Euros on him if we can spend this amount wisely on other players?!

Personally I'd love to see a player like Quaresma in our team, but at the moment it's not possible.

I honestly don't know what Inter's management have in mind, but from it seems, they don't want to spend alot this summer.

As I'm typing, Riquelme, again showed why he's one of the best players in the world by scoring a great goal against Peru. If only he was consistent...

 

[ragazzofortunato]

Coppa America 2007

Riquelme:

matches - 3
goals - 4
assists - 3

 

[Alex de Large]

Even robinho looks good there, with a lot of crap teams. riquelme is not a player for a big club, he is a great player but for clubs like villarreal, empoli, rubentus, mallorca.... where he can be the leader.

very subtle :howler:

 

[Alex de Large]

I also don't want more Argentina players here, we have enough ones....

 

[DARi0]

I understand if you want to exclude Veron... but i don't see why no argentine players? we have a large argentine community and they are united ! also a new argie will adapt easily.

Diego (Brazilian)
Deco (Portugese/Brazilian)
Quaresma (Portugese)
Jimenez (Chilean)
Riquelme (Argentine)
Aimar (Argentine) LOL
Messi (Argentine)
Tevez (Argentine)
Lucho Gonzalez (Argentine)
Mascherano (Argentine)
Maxi Rodriguez (Argentine)


see? you can't just go around and exclude argentine top class players ! that would be rasism ! :stuckup:

he's not a leader.. never was nor he tries to be.. and this "small team player" stuff is just a used-up phrase..
Problem with Riquelme is - he doesn't move much without the ball (well even with the ball he's slow like a snail) and so he doesn't fit in our "dynamic" midfield..

But that he's a football genius, he surely is...

Nasri would surely be the best choice, but we will have to wait for him for a year.. and question is - will we be able to win a race for his signature? And, this is after all our centenary year..

Veron wouldn't bring us nothing new, but he can be used as a good temporary solution.. then again, there is a problem with him wanting to be a starter.. not to forget his "friendship" with Adriano..

Another temporary solution (hoping to be more than that) could be - Jimenez.. he is talented, but the question is - is that enough to help us go as far as possible in CL?

Quaresma is a risk.. he can be great, but only if he adapts to the free role behind the strikers.. if not - we will splash huge amount of money for a winger which our formation doesn't support (and I don't even wanna think of going back to the 4-4-2 flat)..

Diego- he's just a little more moving and less talented version of Riquelme.. doesn't have what it takes to make it here..

Deco - now he would fit just perfectly.. But we don't know if Barcelona will let him go or not.. And he's 30.. in 2-3 years we'll face the same problem..
And by then Nasri will be in Madrid or wherever (there won't be any need for him next year with Deco arround)..


Tough job for Branca and Orialli... and Moratti and Mancini and De Georgis and whoever will decide about this transfer..

 

[Alex de Large]

Riquelme (Argentine) not good enough
Aimar (Argentine) not good enough
Messi (Argentine) barcelona will not sell him.
Tevez (Argentine) no more strikers are needed
Lucho Gonzalez (Argentine) he will go to valencia
Mascherano (Argentine) livrpool will not let go since he is starter there and key player.
Maxi Rodriguez (Argentine) not good enough





and i think that right now diego > nasri.

 

[guest2]

cloudq, I wouldn't dare to privatise a discussion as I'm a newbie, so I'll try to squeeze it all in this one post. It's realistic to say that Inter could use better a Robben/Ribery kinds of wingers or maybe Lampard in its system (-which is certainly not a constant motion in the middle, on the contrary our possession was tiny even against the weakest teams, as we in best case only manage to get it across to forwards, as I said, or we're talking about different teams). But I am saying some of us crave for that to change into a domination-possession which produces both organised and counter attacks.

Now, 1. I cannot think of a club in Europe that would have Veron and Riquelme in the same team, let go stage them at the same time. 2. I would rather have them two than one Diego who indeed comes alive only when the ball touches him, tries something on his own, and mainly never succeeds. But, at a cost to be charged for blasphemy - had I been the coach of Inter in the last ten years, Recoba would wear No.10 every time he could walk on a pitch. And therefore, 3. I wouldn't worry about defensive liability.

Hope I made myself clear, as for me it is as simple as one, two, three

 

[DARi0]

Deco/Riquelme/Jimenez [LOAN]

one, two, three

quality stuff from Riquelme watch those videos Alex de Large, and say again that he's not good enough :crazy:
left foot / assist / right foot :star:

The only problem is how consistent he will be? BUT we have Figo/Stankovic ready to play when he's not ON FIRE (like now) arty:

I don't think Werder Bremen will sell Diego... but i believe Deco can be bought...

i am so tired of predicting and proposing players to our board... it seems that Moratti, Branca & Oriali are not reading this forum LOL :hopeful:


I think it will be either Deco/Riquelme/Jimenez [LOAN] this summer. We will see...

 

[VLE]

I think Requelme or Veron is too slow to be our already slow squad. Argen national team works because they got fast players helping, like Messi or Tevez, but I don't think Crespo, Ibra or Adri can fit in to thier role.

Suazo sure can, but we can't be sure that he will adjust fast enough to be our starter. It won't be right be build a squad on assumptions.

I do remember a Valencia fan freaking out last season 1st leg, screaming 'how can they be attacking constantly when thier strikers are not even running', but if we are aiming anything higher than Valencia, we will need a faster AM.

now if only our 2 front strikers were tevez and messi and not ibra and crespo

I respect and understand your point of view of Riquelme, (because Riquelme played bad at Barca and did well at Villarrela) but IMO Boca it's a big club, he's won everything there, including 2 intercontinetal cups against Milan and Bayern, and he indeed was the leader in those teams. In this Copa America he hasn't played against great competition, but the way he played in the last Copa Libertadores was simply brilliant. I'm glad he is playing like this because he has lots of talent, and I hope he can be given the chance again in Europe to prove a lot of people wrong.
