How much would D'Agostino cost? I don't know, but with the sell of Motta we can definitely buy him. And so we can change an half-italian DM with an italian offensive-central midfielder (for all those who want to "italianize" Inter). And those players have the same age.
Not sure how much he costs, certainly his value has gone down since last season. Anyway, he's a regista, not offensive
D'Agostino was one of if not the best midfielder in the league two years ago. It seemed like he was really looking to move to a big club and then his move to Jube fell through at the last minute and he seemed to lose his motivation. He is the type of player the midfield needs though and if we could get him cheap it would be a very shrewd signing imo.
that's my worry, D'Ago I find is the sort of player than needs extra motivation to play, that would come from being a regular in the 1st team, otherwise without the motivation he won't perform at the required level. So its a bit of gamble. He would need to start off well upon arrival as did Motta to get a regular spot otherwise I don't fancy he would fair too well at Inter.
If Inter want to play a game with more possession and creativity, adding a player like Diarra would not help.
exactly. anyway that "crush-kill-destroy" sort are out of style at this level. Shouldn't waste our time
On the subject of DMFs, nevermind that Sandro fellow who, if available, would opt for either Milan, Barca or Real anyway..... what about Sven Bender!! Everyone's "Sahin this, Sahin that..." best DMF in b-liga, an all rounder, not one of those brutish tough tackling DMFs, but one who uses intelligence to anticipate the opponent and... what's more he's completely comfortable on the ball, can shield it well and spray passes, that's right, he can pass!!! We need to take a closer look at this guy, only 21, costs 8-10 million, very worth it IMO.
If Sneijder stays, does Motta also stay?
Motta is useful to us in a number of ways, set pieces, possession, as a hard-man in midfield, he's quite creative, but he needs to be fielded alongside a more agile and quicker/mobile mid. In anycase, for me he's a bench player, a quality one at that. I would keep him.
Kranjcar would be a good addition, as would Rosicky (injury prone like Robben though).
Kranjcar is fragile mentally and fucking slow, hell no Rosicky, maybe 2 years ago.
If for whatever reason our management team is completely retarded and sells Sneijder to Man U, we should look to AT LEAST get 40m and Park Ji Sung
why park? any man u player i would be interested in is Anderson.
I mean he spent few years in Roma and didn't really shine then he went to Messina and Udinese. He never really made into european regular clubs. I mean like Roma or Lazio at least. He had talents but he is not able to develop more than just talents. He is like Luis Jimenez or David Pizzaro to me.
if you watched him only once mate, dont cmment, just dont. With Roma he was young, couldn't dislodge Aqualani, De Rossi, Totti and then Cassano. Messina was a transition point for him. He was awesome at Udinese, maybe you're referring about another D'ago. As for Pizzaro, he was Roma's best player last season, so he's far more than just a talent. he just wasn;t fielded right at inter, otherwise i regret having sold him.
