I know we used to have a thread about defenders but it disappeared with the forum going down. So I think we need a new one.

According to calcio mercato we are looking at these options:

Kompany (Anderlecht)
Metzelder (Dortmund)
Gonzalo Rodriquez (Villareal)
Jose Andrade (Deportivo)
Luisao (Benfica)
Bonera (Parma)
Chivu (Roma)

According to rumours samuel might also be available in the summer. Personally I would do this.


Not renew miha and gamarra's contracts. Then sign kompany and 1 of samuel/juan/chivu.

Then my defenders would be :

1.Cordoba
2.Samuel/Chivu/Juan
3/4.Burdisso
3/4.Kompany
5.Matrix

If materrazi doesn't except the 5th spot we can just sell his arragont ass.

Only Walter Samuel. Otherwise, I don't want any. ;) Oh, and if Mancini insist on not using Coco, get a better Mancini-buddy-LB than Favalli. :rolleyes:

Apparently mancio has send suarez on a scouting mention for a centreback so I think we will defenitly have a new 1 in the summer.

i dont know, i dont want us to splash out alot of money, like Mancio and Dr. Moratti said. its not our players but it was our defensive tactics, luck etc... but now mancini workes on it, and u can tell how much better were doing now.

personally i dont want Kompany at all, i rate him as OK only. every1 is ravin about him but ive seen enough of him to know he wont a succes in serie A, well not yet anyway. if we do get him we should loan him to Cagliari.



1. Cordoba
2. Burdisso
3. Matrix
4. Gamarra

And Miha will turn into our defensive coach. Gamarra is old yes, but like this season we wont use him, we will jsut leave him in the stands and use our first 3. and always a youth player if needed.

We should try as much as possible not to change to much. dont forget, its not a certain that when we splash out millions and millions of money on a defender who said he will succeed with his new parter in a new surrounding.

helal i think Barzagli would be a safe bet. He has been in Serie A for a couple years and he has performed well against big teams. I agree that we shouldn't throw out alot of money but I think Barzagli is worth it and he's only one player he probably wouldn't be too expensive either.

well then we should release gamarra. but all im saying is i dont see a need to buy a big money defender to start for us. im safe with the pair of cordoba-matrix or cordoba-burdisso.

but if Barzagli comes cheap and is willing to be a backup, then i doesnt bother me.

These are the players who would be good for us:

Samuel (Real Madrid)
Metzelder (Dortmund)
Jose Andrade (Deportivo)
Luisao (Benfica)
Chivu (Roma)
Kompany (Anderlecht)


Bonera and G.Rodriquez are not in my list as I have got no clue on the latter one. I don't think Bonera would be the man for us.

I have also not seen Jose Andrade, but from what I have read and heard, he does seem to be a very good young defender.

There are many rumours saying that we might opt for Luisao and Kompany would also be brought for the future, stg like that.

Chivu is a kind of defender I really admire, but isn't he kinda injury prone.

On Kompany, I am too confused. Some people say he could do the job for us, whereas some said it would take sometime. I have seen 2/3 matches when he has played (twice against us) and he has really impressed me.

Metzelder - He's just made his return after a long time, so no clue on this defender as well.

How good is that Spurs' defender (Ledley King) ?? Have heard so much of him, might have to check out on him from now on. Paul Ince did well with us, but had to return back due to his personal problems (tht's wht i read), so why can't L.King do well for us ??
And I don't think that the management won't be going after English defenders. After all, we were seriously rumoured to S.Campbell few seasons back, only for him to join Arsenal.

Samuel would be the best defender, coz of his experience in Italy. But I doubt he's gonna return back to Italy. He could be the perfect partner for Cordoba and Burdisso will also learn a lot from him, I guess.

My option for next year:

Cordoba
Samuel (Davids in exchange)
Burdisso
Kompany (I rate him high-can play also as Def.mid, and is really good there too)
Luizao/Barzagli (Luizao can play def>mid too, and Barzagli is cheap)
Gamarra (my favorite defender)
Della Fiore

Mihajlovic (defense coach)

So not need for a replacement for Davids since Kompany and Luizao can play there too.

We definitely need a class centre back. We didn't get one in the January transfer market, which is a waste, but we must get at least one at the end of the season.

I think we should sack either Mihajlovic or Gamarra (just one of them), then but Kompany and Samuel. Chivu or Andrade may be a good replacement for Samuel, if we can't get him.

So our defenders next season will be:
Cordoba
Samuel
Matrix
Kompany
Burdisso
Gamarra/Mihajlovic

I don't understand you guys ....How can you get both Kompany and one of Samuel or Chivu when we have Burdisso who's great and just needs a chance and this year is good to make him adapted to Serie a .

I'd go for Either Samuel ( i prefer) or Chivu

+ One Italian Defender since at 2006 or i don't remember there should be alot of italian players in the squad according to the italian federation . I'd go for one like Adani...you know someone who accepts sitting on the bench for the likes of Samuel , Cordoba , Burdisso .

I simply don't understand you guys, haven't you learned anything, It dosent help to bye a new defence every year, it just give us more problems then we allredy have. we should only bring in one defnder.

And it would not be neccesary to cancel Gammaras contract since it expire this summer.

Chivu would not be a very wice buy, since he is injured alot.

Mihaj's situation is the same as Gammara, but as some of you have pointet out he would probertly be our defensive coach.


players we shoul go for max one.
Samuel (Real Madrid)
Metzelder (Dortmund)
Jose Andrade (Deportivo)
maybe Barzagli
Ledley King


And abouth Coco, if we decide not to use him we should bring Potenza back to our club as our first choise.


This is the CB I hope we have next season
1.Cordoba
2.Burdisso
3.Matrix
one from the list above.

thats the only bit i liked about your post, but then i read on and u talked about buying Samuel :rolleyes:

guys his not coming, they have Gravesen they dont need Davids no more and we dont need a big money defender. lets stay how we are, unless both gamarra and miha leave at the end of the season then we buy one half-decent defender

i just think a unchanged defence would be better on the field and financially.

I now he isen't, I just dream abouth it. That's why I also mentiond other players.

And I'm sure that Gammara and Mihaj are leaving this summer, So if we don't get one we would only have 3 CD. So we have to buy a new one, and it should not be a half-decent one, cause we kinda have Matrix to fill out that role. We need one that can step into our line up straight away. So we don't have to play Matrix every time.

I am not sure about the italian fa but uefa has a new qute whereby we need to have 6 "homegrown players" from next and then it will up till 8 players. BTW what does homegrown mean?? Is it italian players or players who have come through our youth system??

Btw we already have an italian defender we just need to bring him back namely Potenza.

But we need a world class centreback for next season.

Inter confirm Luisao interest Sunday 6 February, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nerazzurri talent scout Luis Suarez has confirmed reports that they are looking at Benfica’s Luisao as well as six other central defenders.

“Roberto Mancini has requested a new centre-back for next season,” revealed Suarez in the Italian Press this morning. “Luisao is one of those players we are tracking closely.”


Inter’s defensive worries have calmed of late, but there are still problems in the centre where Marco Materazzi, Sinisa Mihajlovic and summer signing Nicolas Andre Burdisso have not lived up to expectations.


Newspaper reports had already suggested a £5m bid for Benfica man Luisao was in the pipeline and now that interest has been confirmed with Giorgios Karagounis or Emre Belozoglu perhaps included in a swap deal.


“I couldn’t say whether the two clubs have been in contact yet,” added Suarez. “Towards April or May we will decide which of the potential targets to really go for. Luisao is an interesting player who we know well, but he is not the only option.”


Other defenders being looked at for a San Siro switch are Vincent Kompany of Anderlecht, Borussia Dortmund’s Metzelder, Villarreal man Gonzalo Rodriguez and Andrade of Deportivo La Coruna.


There are also a few Serie A names that have caught Mancini’s eye, such as Roma defender Cristian Chivu – also a target for Juve and Milan – and Parma’s Daniele Bonera (pictured).
