2011/2012 Forwards Rumors Thread

I can't believe people who want Balo back. If we bring him back, expect lots of headache for coach and co.
A walking circus who would only disrupt what little harmony we have in the dressing room.

There's absolutely no need to make shit up.. Milito has 20 goals in 29 games.. with 7 goals coming from 2 games.. Take his goals out and we're shit - well -ier than we are now - I'm not denying that.. this does not mean Milito shouldn't be sold if an offer arrives.. He'll be earning so much well past his useful days,

i didn't make shit up, read it properly

so our only guaranteed source of goals is past his useful days so we should sell him an get someone else as well as the others we need who will probably want paid even more or at least as much and will give no guarantee on goals let a lone striaght away...great

 

[douglasthiago]

It depends on what transfer fee you'd consider worthy. If we're talking about 15 million euros, then I'd concur. If it's less than 10, then only if there's another good possibility guaranteed like Lavezzi.

 

[Pharaoh]

Ehh I wouldn't be surprised if some club offered that or more. Rossi is an excellent forward that's in his mid 20's, the prime of a footballer's career.

You cant say he's in his prime after missing an entire year........he can come back and suck ass it won't happen but it's still a possibility which will make him a tough sell at 25

I agree!! Especially after he throw inter jersey to the ground. I never respect him anymore at all.

I cant understand the Lavezzi-fanboys.

Guy is good only in a counter-attacking team for having lots of space for running. His dribbling skill is not that high, he uses just the speed. And when can an Inter-side counter-attack? 8-10 games per season?

In an Inter he would be a new-Zarate, im quite sure.

I disagree a bit. Lavezzi's acceleration is just ridiculous and that is needed to break up defences -> creates space and panic in opponent's defence. While it's true Lavezzi wouldn't be able to play exactly the same game he can do now in Napoli, he can guarantee he would be 10x more effective for us than Zarate. Anyway, Lavezzi's transfer price is too high for us that it won't happen (unless DeLa goes mad and wants Pandev badly letting Lavezzi go for cheap which I doubt).

No. Napoli does play counter attacking football in general, but they are often considered favorites, and they have the possession. So saying he can only play in counter attacking team is BS.

His dribbling skill is not that high, he uses just the speed.

Here I agree, he is not as skillful dribbler as some, but he still has some tricks in his sleeves But it's not his pace only, but his acceleration, that can cause havoc, even against well organized defenses. And you underestimate his dribbling skill as well.

Wrong again. They are TOTALLY different players. Zarate relies on his technique, while Lavezzi more on his speed, as you said above. Zarates problem is his selfishness and his fucked up head, Lavezzi doesn't have that problem. He is team player, and his game is much, MUCH more than just speed, scoring or dribbling, whatever. He is complete player, team player that assists, with great vision and passing. And that's what we need, creative player on the wing.

 

[rockball]

I don't understand this hype around Lavezzi. Sure he is good, but I don't think he will succeed here. I'd rather go for Rossi/Lucas and Afellay as a cheap backup.

Lavezzi is a PROVEN Serie A player that can assist on the wing and still score. Have you watched him in form this season? His pace and clever runs destroy defenses.

Zarate on the other hand tries to take on 5 different players and score. You'll never see Lavezzi do that, at least no consistently. He's your ideal winger....he can beat his man with pace or clever dribbling and find an opening to cross the ball.

I really don't see your point about exclusive counter attacking player either. His pace allows for counter attacking football but his technique is good enough to allow him to beat his man in possession play. And his vision allows him to beat defenses with his passing.

I think with the money required to buy Lavezzi, we could bring Jovetic...

Jovetic would easily cost over 25. And Lavezzi, i doubt we will give over 25 as well. He will come, only if we use Pandev, and lets say, 15-20 + Pandev. We can't use Pandev for Jojo.

I think Lavezzi would be 25 with pandev tbh and you know napoli can demand that even if we have first dibs on him

 

[Pajo]

No way, that's waaaaaay too much. Lavezzis clause is 31, so.. No more than 20 + Pandev.

Your right in the way 20 + Pandev. Everyone knows that Inter is second home to Argentinian players he will be welcomed

 

[CafeCordoba]

Pajo, that is just your price for Lavezzi. Doubt it's that low for DeLa. He wants a true value for his star player and given Pandev's big salary, DeLa don't want to pay too much to get him (transfer fee) since he has to pay big bucks to have him (salary). Meaning it would be most probably over 20m€ what we would have to pay in addition to Pandev to get Lavezzi.

Let's just cut this crap and concentrate on more realistic targets.

 

[Pajo]

Nah, even DeLa won't ask for that. Bare in mind his clause is 30, and giving 25 + Pandev is over it

I tell you, if Lavezzi wants to leave, than DeLa will allow it, for 20 + Pandev. And i believe Pandev is well aware he needs to cut his wages no matter where he goes, so it's possible.

 

[Raul Duke]

We should hopefully assume that about €18mil is already put away for Poli and Guarin. So €20mil players seem very optimistic, unless of course most of our Sneijder fund goes back into transfers

Exactly. Getting Lavezzi is a big reach.

And about Pandev, he has a contract with Inter for two more years. I'm sure his agent will do his work and won't lower that guaranteed money. Inter will "lose" in that trade in a sense that we won't get 10m€ or more for Pandev in this summer (be it money or value as makeweight), while his "value" has risen. His true value (market value) is lower because of his salary.
