Latest I saw Luizao few match(for Benfica,Brazi NT). not great. not very good. I'm very disappoint Luizao. same Roque Junior.

6m+Karagounis for Luizao? probably wasted money. PLZ no Luizao.

He played in todays qualifier against Uruguay. I say I wasnt too impressed, he was not exactly pacy and lack the poised of great defenders. Heck Lucio looked like Nesta playing alongside Luizao. :dielaugh:

Ha then we for sure will get him. We always get crappy defenders, there are only two exceptions Cordoba and J.Zanetti, Burdisso migh be one as well, if he get some more playingtime.

King would be a good option. But I am not convinced he is better than burdisso. In european terms he has proven more. But Burdisso has proven a lot in south american football. Maybe this 1st season was just a adjusting period for him.

But of those available king,juan,chivu and maybe kompany are the only 1's we should consider buying.

Seriously, I like King so much that I would choose him over Kompany and Chivu, no doubts.

Ledley King is one of the players that are underrated by fans in general but not by the people in the football world nor his club. His value on the market confirms this. For sure I would say he is better than Burdisso in every single aspect of his game, Kompany I haven't seen much of but King is more proven and from what I've seen better. Chivu is brilliant but is King more imposing physically aswell as a footballer like the Romanian.

He would be excellent for Inter, Damn Cordoba and King.

Ladies & gentlemen, please meet Mr. Faisal, official spokesman of Alvaro Recoba, Ledley King and Carlton Cole. :cool:

Ohhh I really wont Ledley King, he is extremly awesome, before this season I had put him on the top of my wishlist. Unfortunaly we didn't go for him :depress: , I would for sure prefer him over Chivu and Luisao even Samuel at any time. If we get him I would not complain if it meant that Burdisso had to sit on the bench...

Come on Inter get him please

King and Chivu are 2 very different players. Chivu is elegant on the ball, and pleasing to the eye.

King just gets the job done! and i dont know, id take any. but its just hard to ignore Matrix and Burdi

Recoba I talk about alot because he basically causes so many debates and for me is such a great player. Ledley King is a defender that is getting more appreciation now so theres no need for me to defend him, Carlton Cole as you know I used to be in the same school as and he is extremely lazy.


Im suprised you didn't bring up Adriano but like I said I don't really need to argue against stupid comments now, Beattie better than Adriano LOL

Helal I think you may be confusing Gardner for King as they look similar from afar, King is very composed and the best footballing defender in the EPL along with Rio. Both footed too.

I remember we were linked to Pablo Ibañez, which I thought wasn't that good to deserve to play for Inter......but I saw him playing with Spain this last week, and OMG he is really awesome, I saw Luizao too, and Ibañez, from what I saw, is much better.

I think, now that Kompany is not coming (I think) we should buy, apart from Luizao who is a done deal, Barzagli or Ibañez, so would have:

Cordoba
Chivu
Ibañez/Barzagli
Burdisso
Materazzi/Miha/Gamarra

If we get this defenders, I would play Chivu as LB with Potenza as backup, and Ibañez/Barzagli alongside Cordoba, with Burdisso as backup.

Tottenham are trying to build a good team for the future. I doubt they'd sell King whom I really like. He can also play in the midfield as a DM.

Faisal, you know that Inter wanted to get Carlton Cole as a part of the Crespo deal and then loan him to Parma? He is a good player, but yeah, he looks really lazy. Which team did he support when he was at school?

The team he is owned by, He could of gone far as he has everything in his game really just the vital part...mentality.

P.S Yeah I remember that Inter rumour when he was around 19 they wanted to get him and then loan him out to Parma whilst bring back Adriano.

As they would say in Milan: E la Madonna!!! (It means something like: Are you crazy??!!!)

25 millions? How much would you rate freaking Samuel then??

Samuel would be cheaper, He made a bad career move going to Madrid and has not been in his Roma form so his value has decreased plus King is English and younger at 24.

King is the best CB avaliable that isn't playing for a CL club. And after the season he has had I would say anything between 28million euros and upwards.

Andrade? Milito? Ibanez? Barzagli?
As much as I think King is a good defender, I think he is slightly over-rated...from what I've seen he is a bully (by bully I mean he does very well against the lesser like teams strikers) and often struggles against the big guns- Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle...but he has done welll against United.
I doubt Inter will pay more than 15 mill for a CB this season, that's why I still believe that whether some people like it or not, Luisao move is a guarantee.
