In my opinion Ranocchia will prosper under Mazzarri; he needs to be playing central in the 3 though.
He'll never be Nesta (im still bitter that we never signed him in 2002) but he can be a very good player for this club.

You can't cure slowness. You can mask it by having great positioning and reading the game well, but in my opinion I don't think Rano is switched on enough to ever overcome his physical limitations. I believe he's a good defender, but will never be a great one. If someone wants to offer 20m for it we should take it in a heartbeat. We could probably get Ogbonna for half the price who is about Rano's equal, but has different strengths and weaknesses.

the partnership is much more important than any individual player's talent. Samuel-Materazzi was one of the best recent CB duos in my mind, and Materazzi certainly wasnt a "world class" defender individually - though he was competing there around the 06 world cup imho.

The partnership is the most important thing, and I think paired with the right partner, Ranocchia can be part of a world class defense. If that means 3 at the back, then you're looking at something like Ranocchia-Samuel-style-player, JJ. I think that works well. If not, you're looking for something more akin to Ranocchia-Silva. I think JJ can match the Silva role in a few years, if he develops well and gains confidence.

LOL the time period you are mentioning is about 2-3 months of his entire career at Inter. Thats 2-3 months in 2½ years where he has played conistently good. The rest of the time he has been rather poor and most importantly showed no sign of progress whatsoever. He hasnt developed at all. Tell me who the retard is again?

I guess i shouldnt expect too much from someone "fav. player Fuck paulinho", what are you? 12 years old?


yup 12 years old exactly........... ok and right being one of the best center backs for half a season is no improvement your exactly right. I almost hope we sell him so when he becomes world class i can shit in your face. None of our defender looked class within the second half of the season or since mou left. If you think our defensive issues are only because of rano or rather how poor he has been you either dont know anything about soccer or about team defense. I will agree he has shown weaknesses especially against the smaller players like miccoli but this problem isnt on him and i personally dont believe we have given rano a chance at inter with the constant line up changes, coaching changes, formation changes.

Come again? Is that an american tradation?

First of all, you little american dipshit, dont EVER call it "soccer" again. No one ever attributed Inter defensive problems only to him. Yes its a team game, but Ranocchia is 25, he should be a leader in defense, controlling the defense. He is completely clueless in defense. A class 25 yo class defendender just wont be making these mistakes.

Tell me how has he developed in his 2,5 years here? He hasnt developed at all, he absolutely pathetic.

HEY DUMB FUCK I AM FROM AMERICA SO TO ME ITS SOCCER.... anyways thats beside the point everyone is entitled to their own opinion and yes I look all around Europe and i see world class 25 year old defenders. Anyways like i said your entitled to your opinion only time will tell wether he becomes world class or not.

you are a negative person, and to get all upity about someone saying a single word that everyone knows is the norm in our country masks the real problem with your negativity.

frog may not be your first choice, (but then again your just some scrub on the internet like the rest of us, so your opinion is not law but just an opinion) or even your second choice. this negative attitude about trashing players the minute they show poor form is a problem that be seen in every level of our great club internazionale, from the management to the fans. this negativity clouds judgements and screams ignorant. believing ranocchia hasn't developed can be argued left and right with opinions about his performances but doesn't take into account what he is being developed into and how long is will take to bear the fruit of "project ranocchia". lets break it down into 2 situations for this summer.

1, inter sell him to juve for 15 and isla(optimistic but hey ill give your side of the argument the benefit of the doubt). and 2, inter keep a player they have invested a lot of time and money into to continue "project ranocchia".

in the first senario inter gives into this negative view point of he cant develop any longer, he is shit, we can find better. im not saying this is the wrong approach with every player because, and im sure most people will agree, many players who occupy inters roster at this point in time are below par. then we have a gamble on a player who failed to make the leap up in quality in his first year at a bigger club(another point entirely but pointless because we dont know where of what will come form his sale) and a net loss on a now 2 1/2 year investment. so that money time and lost yet only another gamble on a young player to show for it.

in the second case, you continue with a player who has shown devotion and love for his shirt by declaring he wants to stay and playing through injury when inter were in desperate need of first team defenders(it is my opinion that this combined with his current quality is enough). there is also the hypothesis that inter will switch to a full time back 3 with the arrival of walter mazzarri. im not sure if your familiar with this system of play, because i am sure as hell not, but you can probably guess we are going to need more than a few defenders. 3 central backs, just for the starting line up. short term investments never really work out in the real world without abnormal circumstances. but even with all the trouble surrounding inter(poor managment, his now 5th coach at inter, serious injuries) he has been true to our colors. so while you may believe ranocchia hasn't earned his worth, i believe inter are just starting to earn the dividends of "project ranocchia" and soon, be it this year or next, he will making it rain, so to speak.

Considering they very rarely started together, thats kinda strange.

Maybe you meant cordoba and not samuel?

I actually remember Matrix-Samuel getting raped on multiple occasions against quick players. And the general consensus was Matrix-Cordoba or Samuel-Cordoba with some Buridisso thrown in here and there.

Actually, I think I was thinking of Cordoba-Samuel. Sorry.




Apparently Ranocchia has been let off on his betting thing. This is good news.

Italian football at his finest.

Pretty much every member of Bari team, based on who are facing charges, part-took or knew about thee games...

except the player who is now a centre-back of national team and the manager of the biggest club in the country.

Think what you want.

For those bashing the use of the word 'soccer', if we're going to be pedantic 'football' is an incorrect term; seeing as this is an Italian club's forum, and if we're getting moralistic about it, it should be 'Calcio'

According to Di Marzio, Inter propose to swap Ranocchia with Marrone from Jube....

Is the Inter management retarded or not?

Its just Di Marzio going on full retard mode with regards to a straight swap between Ranocchia and Marrone. I wouldn't get too emotionally drawn to these rumours.

But if it did happen, a lot of parallels will be drawn with the Cannavaro-Carini swap - and we knew how that played out in the end.

Judging by the media's track record for rumors, I don't think we have to worry about a Ranocchia - Marrone swap.

Yeah as long as the word you use lets the person you are talking to know what you are talking about, who cares, really. Its like when someone calls me a "cunt"... I know they're talking to me.

I would do a Marrone+Isla for Rano swap. Or even throw in a 5m along with Rano there. Marrone is a very good versatile player.

People complaining about Marrone, just wait until the Ranocchia-Morrone swap deal pops up tomorrow morning.
