Adriano "l'Imperatore" Leite Ribeiro

[.h.]

Yeah, adriano scored that great goal in pre-season......... Oh wait, that was an own goal.

all you guys are full of sh!t

i want someone to answer this question...

which of the euro big teams (chelsea, manU, barca e.t.c) do you think would start cruz if they had him??

 

[1919]

Maybe Mancio didn't know Adriano won't get fit until the season starts. Because this really seems a strange situation. Why Mancio and Moratti would have waited till the last week of the transfer market to get rid of Adriano if they had some thoughts of that beforehand?

Forcing him to go on-loan wud be a nice option for them. So that way, if and when Adriano regains form and fitness, they can get him back instead of playing him week-in-week-out to regain him.

I also feel its a good thing, but you are not being fair to the guy whose career is at stake.

Even at Inter, i wud never start Cruz bcoz he has not done any good when he has started.

As a sub? dats different.

In fact i wud play with 1 striker and keep Cruz on the bench if that was the option rather than starting any match with him

true but we can only deal with situations as best as thrust upon us.

Unfortunately, he had a rough time after his father died. He used alcohol to console himself. The bad thing about this is t hat it is avoidance rather than actually dealing with it. When a striker turns up hungover and/or late to training frequently, and isn't scoring goals readily, and you have more on-fire players in the squad who you know wont do that (Ibrahimovic said in an inter.it interview he's never drank alcohol in his life).

Unfortunately, we all know there is alot of love for adriano, however if a striker isn't on the best of his performance capabilities in a squad like this, HE WILL BE DROPPED. Simple as that.

Yes, he's had a rough time, but he can only look inward for the blame. We gave him plenty of chances last year, sent him on holiday for a couple weeks, he came back, was on FORM, we gave him lots of playing time after that, then he went out and got drunk and lost it again.

Unfortunately, that's the way the world works. If he was a model professional (like Cruz!) he would get a LOT more playing time.

I tell you what Cruz would definitely be starting at united now

For the past two years, we started Adriano for every big game and he blew it.

Besides the debate around here of him being good enough or not,I see this from another side as i really feel for the guy. Everything that is happening must be killing him inside..

I know some will say its his own fault but even if it is (could be psychological ) I still feel for him and think whatever he is going through is agonizing..

 

[DISCO ZZANG]

Roberto Mancini sucks. forever love with A.Cesar.

 

[davidRecoba]

I think Adriano should be given a chance so that we can see his progress. he said that he had changed. why avocado got a chance to sit on the bench while adriano didnt?
(i think adriano should consult avocado to win mancini's heart, lol)

Cesar never made it to the stands. We were stretched as far as midfielders go but not strikers. Hence why he got called and not adriano.

 

[Hasan]

Adriano will allways,just like Oba, stay one of my favorites players. I don't want him out but we all know that's only solution with Mancini on the bench.

 

[Simonsky]

Bro, it is always happen with INTER. I really don't know why INTER always lost its patience with the players. We never learn from Pirlo or Frey cases. We threw all the potencial players and got suffer from them. I think the idea to release or put Adriano on loan is crazy and unrespectful. The solution is simple: Let the L' Imperatore play as much as possible and we will enjoy his goals. Remember who was kick the Milos ass in the derby! Adri!

I find it hard to feel sorry for him tbh. Football players, celebrities that they are, aren't excluded from the harsh realities of life. I understand losing a father you're close too would be very traumatic but unfortunately that's a part of life. You gotta stand strong and try to pick up the pieces as best as one can.

Too late to diccuss about these things! We had to think about it when since the first day of transfer market Inter AMAZINGLY were following many forwards all around although we were completely full in attack line!

Because after the signing of Suazo I could guess a shocking trouble coming to the team, as same as when we bought Chivu and sold Grosso!!

Why the hell are people knocking Mancini?

I can give you two examples as to why Mancini has always favoured Adriano ahead of Crespo and Cruz.

First of the initial couple of matches last year, the SC, the league and Champions league Mancini started with Adri and Ibra. Adriano played bad and Crespo came on and did good. After that he had to go with Crespo since he was winning us matches.

But then in late December or so Adriano hit a small strike of form, but Crespo was also in good form. What did Mancini do? He started Adriano alongside Ibra and they did IMO, the best out of all of our forwards together. After that Adriano started match after match, even though Crespo had done much more then him prior to this.

Mancini went with Adriano untill he got injured. And he was supposed to play and probably start against Valencia but he once again ****ed up and went out and got drunk. Mancini dropped him and after that Crespo started matches again. Which was the right move. Because I can guarantee you that the partying Brazilian, keeping one of the good old Argentines out of the starting lineup, would not be popular in a locker room full of Argies.

So how the **** is Mancini unfair to Adriano? So he's been in the stands for two matches. Well, has he impressed in pre season? No not really. Today he will get his chance against Barca and I hope he takes it. Becuase Mancini will alwyas favour him over Crespo and Cruz as long as he shows he has some balls.

Totally agree, cant say it even better..
Adriano has been given more chances than anyone..

I like adriano, i hope he will do us good also..
And i do see this (loan deal) the best way to get him back to his best..
This would be for his best also..(with the chance to be back with us again)
If he is to choose to have a permanent deal, its just too bad.. but for his best he should ( i would prefer the loan deal )

This post makes da real sense, however on the outside. I believe that each our post should start by disclaimer stating that none of us really knows what is really happening down there, in the field, so to say. So any assumption is good as another. That i.e. gives me right to believe that i.e. not all Recoba's injuries were only physical, but some were 'psychological' and I am positive many were alibis. When you are called the biggest talent and the best left foot in the world, in such an exposed stage, it must influence you when two other strikers are being staged before you, in every 'ordinary' situation, and turn you in an extraordinary player for extraordinary situations. Being injured could have helped approving before oneself and the rest of the world. In an example...

As for Adri, as for all our superstar strikers, you name it, it is actually possible to blame Mancini, even though on the surface he is not the one who performs on the pitch. But that's on the outside, and it can be compared with i.e. a superb vehicle, a car that is proven to be among the best in the world history. And then you have a driver who only drives it in a first gear, explaining that it is because like that it has the most power. Explanation makes some sense but in reality it is actually choking and eventually killing the car. Also, when it gets broken and fixed, it's till the same car, same characteristics, but again it depends on the driver how it will behave, or i.e. what fuel you put in (midfield) or, or, or...

IMHO, this Inter team has not shown its full potential, whereas Mancini has. He had a lot of time at disposal and a lot of chances, and he showed us his limitation. Is that all this players can give, I believe not.

Need more proofs? Show me one striker who shined with us, showed his full capacity and even surpassed expectations. It's the type of game that we need to change and improve, not these golden forwards.

What Adri can expect if he stays?

Mancio did almost everythin for Adri, yes, and the right thing as I said before is for Adri to take this loan deal and return to us in top form, but that is something he just doesn't understand

“If I must go now, then I will, but it breaks my heart. When two years ago the team was doing badly and I was the peak of my powers, I certainly didn’t dump them.”

WTF, he's 25 and Crespo&Cruz have almost 70 together, he wants to stay and he loves the club. I would suck Mancini before selling Adriano.
We will made same mistake like with Ronaldo, this team we have is almost perfect, any coach in the world can be on the bench so if Mancini don't want player with so huge potential that means that he don't have skills to pull out that potential from the player.

Fukc the coach who can't handle with greatest youngsters(Oba) and the most talented players(Adriano) in the world. What he wants is expirienced and almost finished players (Favalli,Ze Maria,Mihajlović,Veron,Davids). I was on his side untill this moment. Now I want him out!
