Cristiano Biraghi

[Harpsabu]

Because we do not have 4 club trained players as part of the team.

Yeah but that could change based on transfer activity? Who we got, radu, Biraghi, esposito?? Or is it essentially impossible from us at this point? (which cafec post seems to imply)

We need to have 4 serviceable players that are club grown, otherwise we can only register 21 player instead of 25.

Esposito doesn't take up space in the CL list because he's u21 and has been at the club for over 12 months. Which means that even signing an 18 year old for the first team makes him ineligible for B list unless he completes a year at the club.

So essentially we can list whomever we still have in our minds and add Biraghi on top of it. He effectively does not require an additional roster spot as he creates his own, if that makes sense.

I think we gonna promote pirola as well. Read today sassuolo was interested in him but conte likes him a lot.

That's definitely not good news for those of us hoping to hold on to Skriniar.

CL A list consists of this type of quotas:

4 club trained
4 association trained
17 regular players

B list
u21 club trained players

We have enough association trained players but not enough club trained. Radu takes one club trained spot, but then it's pretty much empty. So we are 3 spots short. Esposito goes to B list, it's more useful to have him there since B list can be submitted for each match 24 hours before the kickoff. If Esposito even stays at the club, which is very unlikely.

Anyway, Biraghi is a free player in this sense, because he doesn't take a regular player spot. After Radu, we have 3 free spots to be filled with club trained players. There aren't that many club trained players around in football who can be labeled as senior players or generally serviceable players. Biraghi is definitely one.

So, if we gonna have a full squad of 25 players in the coming season, we are possibly in a situation where we need to drop 3 senior team players out of the CL list. I bet we can't sell/loan Vecino, so he's one who's out of the list I think (because of the injury), but we still have two spots to fill.

He is in Inter for short term yet cares about the future of Inter

 

[CafeCordoba]

Sky claims we try to get Biraghi with a new formula. Paid loan? Or free loan + obligation to buy?

We need club-trained players anyway also in near future so we might as well buy him if he's not too expensive?

 

[Goldenboyv88]

I think that it would be important to keep Biraghi at Inter both because he is a good player and he played a good season boh because we need him for CL lists. we'll see what will happen.

 

[Goldenboyv88]

I read that Biraghi don't want to come back to Fiorentina if they will not increase his wage... His agent said "a great player like Biraghi cannot earn so few money".

I don't know how much does Biraghi earn in Fiorentina, but i think that actually he wants to remain at Inter..

 

[Gaindé]

I'm glad he left, not that Dalbert is any good but this guy definitely gave me headaches 99% of the time when he played.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Would have kept him if Viola accepted straight swap. His goals+assists were pretty good in the end and he's club trained so doesn't take spot in CL list.

I think Biraghi was good post-Covid. At least one out of two games he did something well. Definitely we're downgrading with Dalbert back, Viola are no fools for not wanting him there anymore.

Tbh if I look at the whole season, remember his stinker against Dortmund, against Sassuolo first leg, etc, the ton of missed crosses, all the set pieces he stole from the other player only to do absolutely nothing with it, I can't say I am satisfied with him in any way, Young is way more reliable defensvely and offensively and he is freaking 35! I'm way more confident if he is the Left Wing Back coming from the bench than Biraghi who looks lost as soon as he has to face a somewhat decent player on his side.

He has been professionnal and everything but the 2-3 games post-covid where he played well-ish didn't change the way I see him. A sub in a Fiorentina/Torino side shouldn't be a sub in Inter and should absolutely not start as many games as he did.
I actually don't think he is any better than Dimarco.

I wish Asamoah and Candreva follow his lead and sign somewhere else. Our wingbacks were so bad that they made Yung look like he was 25 again.

New LWB / Young/ Kolarov/ D'ambrosio on the left
Hakimi/ D'ambrosio/ Young on the right
Seems good to me.

Agree about his performance pre-break absolutely. He was frustrating.

Post-covid he improved his game. Young was def. better than him, but I'm comparing Biraghi to Dalbert, who is back from loan and we are stuck with him.

Ideally we get a new player in that role, but most probably it'll be Young/Dalbert there, which might be our weakest position in the team. Unless Young keeps a high level performance for a whole season, which is unrealistic considering his age, and his sub is Dalbert.

We'll see if Kolarov is going to be used both for lwb/lcb, but I agree in principal that we need a new player there, which is unlikely to happen.

I hope we buy another player because Young will struggle to play 40-50 games on a decent level. Gosens would be ideal, he knows the Serie A already but right now talks are more about Emerson or Marcos Alonso so...

Problem is that Dalbert is much worse. If Biraghi gives you headache 99% of the time, imagine migraines 100% of the time while watching Dalbert.

 

[Gaindé]

Dalbert shouldn't stay either, they are both sh*t

 

[CafeCordoba]

Dalbert cannot be compared to Biraghi. Biraghi has the grinta, courage and balls (mentality) to play for Inter. Something Dalbert never had.

 

[Gaindé]

Dalbert was absolutely terrorized every time he had the ball, there is not even any debate about that. It's not like Biraghi didn't use to pass the ball backward all the time either.
I'm not comparing Dalbert and Biraghi. Both of them aren't good enough. If I had a rotten apple and a rotten banana, I would throw both of them away, I wouldn't think about which of them would be best to eat.

Imo they are both players that lack the mentality and the quality for Inter.

 

[CafeCordoba]

At the times of #wearesopoor, I would have done that swap deal. Biraghi is basically a free player in the sense that he could be slotted to club-trained spot in CL list. That means he wouldn't have taken anyone's spot in the team. Biraghi's backward passes has nothing to do with his ability. No one expected him to just beat his man with the ball, at least I didn't. Backward passing is part of our tactic to find other lanes for the buildup passes. Biraghi's stats also tell that he isn't completely useless.

No one is denying it was frustrating to watch his game time to time, but we aren't exactly Chelsea in this transfer market.
