Biggest disapointment of this season. Unfortunatelly he is in huge decline and we should try to find some quality on RW.

How you can play almost every fucking game of the season as the starting right wing and not score a single goal is beyond me.

We should get what we can for him within June

Hopefully he gets downgraded to the bench or gets sold.

Also it was mentioned he scored 30 goals in 3 seasons with Lazio...really disappointed, i thought he would have been a great signing. Would have liked to see him on the left or even as a FB but Spalletti will never go for that and also doesn't excuse how bad he has done as a right winger.

You know it's bad when I end up on Candreva Crosses' side. This guy earns too much to even ride the bench, sell him for a few mil and subsidise his wage if needs be. Just no. Useless for 365 days straight.

D'Ambrosio can go back on the right, Asamoah and Dalbert can compete over the LB spot.

I have defended Candreva a lot due to the excessive criticism he gets here. But the last 6 months or so he has been woeful. Now that we have the money, we must seriously upgrade on this position. Get a player who scores a few goals too, we need a Salah kind of player in that role.

If we get a profitable offer for Candreva, we should sell him. If not, he can still be a useful back up because he works hard and can cover many positions in the wings/midfield (as opposed to Eder or Valero, who we must sell for sure). But he is clearly not starting material at this level anymore.

I love when people say they've defended Candreva because of the excessive criticism he gets. He was basically shit for over 6-10months before people even stopped with the "but he helps in the defense" argument. How many balls have that retard won back by helping the defense? Its like having a scarecrow helping out except we aint playing against fucking birds.

5th in Serie A in successful crosses with 63. Luis Alberto has 64, Kolarov 66, Biraghi 67 and Alejandro Gomez has 77. No info on success rate though :D
He's also the 2nd most subbed out player, with Hamsik being the first (25-24 games)

I can honestly say I joined the Lazio fans in booing almost every time he touched the ball.


Who cares if his crosses are “successful” if they don’t lead to goals. The majority of the time he spent on the pitch he walked around. I hardly rate Perisic as a top quality winger but the work he put in for us was Eto’o-esque and admirable. So even in games like on Sunday where he didn’t score, he was an asset to us on a few of Lazio’s counters. Candreva doesn’t make effort to move unless it’s for the ball or if it means he can cross it in. He’s also slow as fuck and can’t beat anyone off the dribble. If he had even a half decent season we would have qualified for the Champions League in April, and if he was good we could have challenged for them Scudetto. It’s time we Inter fans step away from this era of mediocrity and stop blindly supporting useless overpaid players who have repeatedly let us down.

How do you play an entire season and not score a single goal? Not even Benevento fans would think that’s acceptable and they’re headed to Serie B. He’s useless even in a centralized role, because all he does is stand there when we’re attacking and if we lose the ball (like when Felipe Anderson scored) he doesn’t even try to track back.

I guaranteed you guys that we’d make the Champions League once we got rid of Kondogbia, and now I’m guaranteeing a top 2 finish once Candreva leaves. If he stays and remains a starter we’re getting bounced out in the group stages (like we did in the Europa League) and will finish 6th next year.

I was at the Inter store today and Candreva #87 jerseys were the only 2017/2018 ones that were available and I was tempted to buy ones just to take a shit on it.

Sorry guys I've forgotten to post stats and since some people see his successfull crosses it would be fair to see how many % that is.

Somehow Spalletti completely changed Candreva's crossing second half of this season since he was on his way beating his old record so thank you Spalletti that we saw 100 less crosses.

17/18: 288 crosses, 61 accurate, 227 misses. 21%
16/17: 377 crosses, 73 accurate, 304 misses. 19.36%

Record season: 16/17


Now Brehme said he was 5th with successful but lets check % on the most succes and the 4th. most in Serie A.

Alejandro Gomez: 257 crosses, 76 accurate, 181 misses. 29.6%
Luis Alberto: 214 crosses, 62 accurate, 152 misses. 29%

I cnt believe some ppl still want him to play as am or mid. I can live with his goalless season, but the one that really annoyed me was his idiot decisions and countless errors and mistakes, like every fucking time, screwed every single counter or attacking phase that we've built. How on earth an Italian national player doing this bad and still getting every chance for the starter is just too painful to watch.

I can't comprehend how a starting RW scores zero goals all season, while fucking D'Ambrosio switching between RB and LB has scored 3 goals.

Even Ranocchia has scored 2 goals in only 626 minutes. Take a moment and think it about that.
