2023/2024 Midfielders Rumours Thread

[dee_jay]

Asllani does not belong in the Inter rotation.
I don't get why people want it so bad. He's not ready.

It's like back in the day wanting Gnoukouri to get significant minutes.

Can you please point where Asllani had a bad game? Was Gagliardini or Vecino for example more ready?

It's not a matter of a bad game. He hardly played for that.

He is very slick with the ball and has good raw characteristics, but his decision making requires an overhaul. He cannot be trusted in our midfield for an extended amount of team.

We cannot overpower teams by 3 goals per game to settle him in.
And we are too shaky and slow at the back to allow nurturing of such a player.

Needs to go on a loan to a team with some pressure. Whether it's competing for titles somewhere in Switzerland, Belgium or Czechia, or relegation battling in Italy or Spain.

So are you saying, he is liability in defence? TBH i don't know how good he is in defence, but i wouldn't say he is that bad. But we could say the same for Calhanoglu. I don't think that he will be liiability in games that are already won, or against some bad serie A teams, cup etc... I might be wrong, but i have very high hopes for this kid.

Or suggesting Okereke for Inter

Not a liability in defense per se, cannot judge that. He's a liability as a ball controller in the way Brozovic was.
Even Mkhitaryan is to an extent, he's guaranteed to lose the ball out in the middle once a game. But he played most of the game.
With Asllani you can notice tactical inadequacy at times, losing the ball firectly or indirectly and not being in the right position. This is something you can fix of course, but at Inter you need to be ready otherwise oyu you won't play much.

Asllani had some good off the ball runs offensively but that's about it. I like that he's eager to shoot, but he's way too raw for Inter as things stand.

Or suggesting Okereke for Inter

To feature in 25 Serie A games and ~900 minutes total? Why not? It's not like we need a world beater there. Just someone who can tick some boxes. Correa doesn't seem up to the task. At least Okereke played competitive football and has been decent under pressure.

I know his scoring in Belgium doesn't look great but wasn't he playing as a winger there?

You can't be serious What pressure? Cremonese had got virtually relegated for a long time. There was no pressure. Okereke is for Empoli, not Inter. Am i in Forza Empoli forums?

Venezia and Club Brugge?

But yeah, he'd be great for Empoli. So was Di Natale. Ok, and Rocchi

 

[Il Drago]

Venezia. Another club that got relegated comfortably. And you bring up Brugge? Seriously? A club where he couldn't even start?

Ok he sucks. Next

Either way, I think he'd be useful. Not great, not a player we'd call to be thrown in games, but useful as 4th choice. Based on characteristics.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

Asllani is fine, not great but definitely okay enough for rotation. He was brought in to cover for Brozovic at regista but was very unfortunate that Hakan could fit in seamlessly as regista and Mkhitaryan wouldn't give up the LCM spot. So the only time he could play was when Brozovic and one of Hakan and Mkhitaryan were unavailable.

He did an acceptable job when was called upon nevertheless, other than that one time when he should have passed the ball. There's just no reason to exclude him from the rotation, even more so when we're broke as shit.

 

[brehme1989]

If we can land Samardzic and Pereyra, there's no space for Asllani. As there shouldn't.

Pereyra on a free at 1.8m net let's say and a loan+ deal for Samardzic, maybe sending Fabbian or Oristanio to Udinese. It's something better than having a player that didn't impress the coach enough last season and had Gagliardini play over him stay for another year as a bench piece.

Asllani also hasn't played that much competitive football, he needs to be loaned out.

 

[Il Drago]

We can't sign both Pereyra and Samardzic. It's one or the other. They basically play in the same position. If Asllani is gone then we need to sign another regista.

 

[wera]

Just sign Kamada and we have some steel in defence and also another good attacking player. Don't want him anywhere near Milan, Napoli or Juventus.

As DM?

 

[wera]

No, as a player that should be starting instead of Mhkitaryan. Our 352 doesn't utilize DM type players

 

[thatdude]

Whether we like it or not Asllani is going to get heavy minutes next season. He may even get a run of games at some point if Hakan gets an injury. This is how players grow, the potential is there. Brozo wasn’t the player he is today when we signed him at 21. It took him years to find his footing, which is why it’s so frustrating we’re losing him in his prime when he is returning the investment we made in those early years, but that’s the decision the club made. We are going to have to deal with his growing pains but in 2 years we may have a 23 year old that’s another saleable asset.

That’s Inter these days.

I only watched his highlights but isn't Kamada an attacking mid? He also seems to prefer the leftside half-space which Mkhitaryan and Fratessi will occupy. Maybe Kamada could take Correa's place as a second striker but I doubt Correa leaves before end of his contract.

 

[wera]

Just like Barella, he can play on both sides of the midfield.

 

[dynasty27]

We can't sign both Pereyra and Samardzic. It's one or the other. They basically play in the same position. If Asllani is gone then we need to sign another regista.

But they are playing and starting together at Udinese. Pereyra does not need to be starter here.
