Diarra is a really good player. Even Gago is a player I really like (if he can play more than 1 match in 3 months he can show his worth). I am sure Gago and Diarra could do great things in our team, but we don't need those kind of players.

I don't know this Granero, is he a DM or a RM?


I personally like the idea of signing D'Agostino. (Somebody throw this idea into the discussion table yesterday, I think it was Cafe). He is more creative than our players in the midfield (except Sneijder of course).

D'Agostino is pretty average. He has not played in top flight football and he is 28.

We'll get Parolo and Poli, Cheap and young = Reducing the squad age + Cost control.

why on earth is anyone so keen on L. Diarra? He's a pure DMF, his game is limited, he can't shoot, can barely pass... would rather Gago. His namesake Mahamadou with Monaco is a better player and all round midfielder, why not him? Why the fuck L.Diarra?? And now we're linked with Fernando to replace Stankovic :palm:

How do you define top flight? He's a far from pretty average, hope you're not judging for 1 Fiore game from earlier on in the season.

People like Diarra because of the work rate he has shown against Barca. He made some excellent challenges but some risky ones as well. I thought he had a nice touch on the ball to miss the first Barca played that closed him down, but his passes to a forward played were quite poor. To me, he is a more reckless version of Cambiasso that has more stamina and pace. If Inter want to play a game with more possession and creativity, adding a player like Diarra would not help.

D'Agostino is a nice player. I liked him at Udinese, thought he put in some nice performances. Poli is another addition that seems quite likely as well. I am a bit concerned with the possible influx of Italian players though. IMO the level of Italian play has been unimpressive the last few seasons. There is not a lot of 'star' power out there and I think Inter would be better off to continue to look outside the borders for talent. I am not against signing Italians or anything like that, I just think there are very few Italians worthy of a spot at Inter.

The trusting of the old guard has played a role in the lack of development of Italian youngsters. It is kind of a catch-22. Teams want to win now, so they go abroad for stars. But in the process, they are relegating their local youth to bench spots and transfer numbers. The old guard still hold their place in the squad, taking play time away from youngsters. The loaned youth then doesn't get much experience in Europe when playing for the likes of Cesena, Bologna, Chievo, etc.

Sneijder
We need to decide who stays and who goes. Does Sneijder stay? I say definitely. Does Maicon stay? I say, not if someone is willing to pay 16m +. Santon and Nagatomo, Zanetti as cover, plus we bring in one more established fullback. Basically as insurance in case Santon doesn't do great. Someone with mainly defensive characteristics would be fine, we usually only attack with one fullback any way.

If Sneijder stays, does Motta also stay? I think Motta is decent, but you can't split defensive midfield duties between Cambiasso and Motta. They are just not mobile enough. One of the two needs to be much more pacy, while still having a high work rate and good stamina. Sandro from Tottenham? No indication that would be an easy transfer, thats for sure. I like Moussa Sissoko, obviously, but he's still on the young side. All the physical ability and potential for greatness is there, though.

Kranjcar would be a good addition, as would Rosicky (injury prone like Robben though). 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. And then we would have to spend atleast 40m replacing him!

Oh sorry brother... :lol:


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.

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.

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.

From what I saw in yesterday's game, L. Diarra looks far from simply a DM who cannot pass. I thought he shackled Messi and Xavi well in the first 10-15 minutes of the game, and showed a few nice touches and flicks, especially for a DM. Wouldn't mind him joining though, although not for more than 10-15M.

Not sure how much he costs, certainly his value has gone down since last season. Anyway, he's a regista, not offensive :)

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.
:palm: 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.

Then lets go for Poli, Veratti, Tassi, Lamela and Robben. The only expensive here is Robben.

No to Granero and No to L.Diarra we are inter not some mid-table team

I guess you pretty much started supporting Inter in January.. Had we signed Lass Diarra and Granero int he summer instead of Coutinho and Biabiany, I assure you that the both of them would be starters in our team and we would be playing United right now and not Schakle.


Samuel, Sneijder, Cambiasso and so on were all player who were deemed not good enough for Madrid but came here and are now world champions!

Dont really know anything about Granero.. but L.Diarra would be a good signing. He is Cuchu with tonnes of more pace basically.
