Defenders Rumours Topic

[1919]

no Hamed the point is 1 year ago Chiellini was a similar "hot property" ... everyone wanted him, just as the case is with Pasqual now.

so for me 10m is a gamble, specially if u look at how Chiellini has rocketed downhill ever since.

whereas with 4-5m, u know what u get ... and itz not that big a gamble

Still I'm hoping tha Matrix doesn't leave, The Hammer is already gone, another favourite of mine. Soon I'll be seeing at set of mercs playing for Inter and I will have no attachment to them.

Atleast Cambiasso and The Captain are there, Solari would become one of my favourite players but I'm unsure if he'll stay with us for an extended period.

Anyways back on topic, I don't think Barzagli is as good or as useful as Matrix, but what can I do. I'm not in management.

I think we have an awesome set of CB(s) with Matrix, Cordoba and Samuel. Why would they want to break this up? I'm not sure. Power, Speed and Steadiness. They all have played together in varying combinations and they all have their uses....too bad, all equally valuable.

What a contradicting statement! You call others mercs and no attachment to Inter when CZ is the biggest one of them. I still don't know how he can join Juve after what they did to us?

Also, the player with the Inter heart and the big attachment has been recently linked with Milan. And earlier in the year, when he was in the NT retreat, he said something to the effect that he could join Milan.

But I predict the Materazzi fan-club will still think he has an Inter heart, even if he plays with Milan or Juve.

Neon,

Samuel, Cordoba, Materazzi is good

Samuel, Cordoba, Barzagli is better.

 

[Wallace]

Grosso is good, afterall he has a place in Italia National team. More promising than Pasqual, but 9 mil is a joke. I'd rather save the money to buy a World Class striker.

 

[catanha]

I just wanna get this Grosso deal over and done with, the more time it takes, the more of a chance that Milan or Juventus will step in and take him away from us.
9 million is not worth it, and I wouldn't rush into saying yes to that, but we have to finish this deal as effectively and soon as possible.

Also, if Materazzi leaves, I shotgun throwing the party. helal you can be my assistant.

 

[K.I.]

Yes materazzi did indeed state to goal.com in a small interview with them that there is a chance that he will indeed leave inter,he also said it was becasue there isnt many italians at inter.

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

9 mill for grosso is a joke, ther must be something more in that deal
maybe barone

 

[Gaetan]

I'll do backflips and cartwheels if Matrix does get sent to Lazio. Not only does this boost Nicolas Burdisso and Marco Andreolli up a notch but it gets rid of a player that's been notorious at Inter, and rightfully so. Matrix had brought much more negative then positive, and you could find this in just about any season or stint he's had at the club. Of course, we all have our runs of good form, and yes, he was once a legit Italian international (meaning, it was earned), but the time has come for us to let him go. He's become more and more useless at the club.

Burdisso getting bumped up to the undisputed 3rd choice as the CB is fantastic news. However, I think we're going to get Barzagli from Palermo. Either way, I'm thrilled!

Considering how long C.Z has served us at Inter, and have never complained whether he was starting or on the sidelines, not to mention being attacked by Inter fans and still declaring the club is a good one he deserves far more respect than being called a merc. He was a professional.

Sure joining Juventus was a questionalable move, but I guess under Capello he thinks he has a chance at 1st team football since they both know one another so well. Me? I think he's going to get benched again but what can we do........

He deserves this move atleast since Mancio is a waste of life.

Branca:"We are negotiating for Grosso. We will try to grab him. Negotiations are at a standstill, but in two or three days we will conclude it hopefully."

Where did you find this?

Neon, all you are doing is giving us reasons why Cristiano would switch camps and actually betray us. Their is absolutely no reason to move from Inter to Juve or vice versa.

He deserves to become a mercenary and do what's best for him regardless of how it affects us, that's all I am reading from you. So, your explanation means that he's been so quiet and good as an Interisti that it's now justified to screw us.

 

[Jimmy]

Those quotes are on Gazzetta and other Italian websites. He has surely said it.

 

[Gaetan]

That's excellent news if Maxwell indeed is also coming. Could either mean that they'll battle it out for the LB or we'll use the latter as a winger. Either way, no complaints.

How do you understand what's written Gazetta? Too much Formula 1 and etc's for me.

 

[bjwam4]

It says on Inter.it in Branca's interview.

 

[Jimmy]

So now we know for certain that Grosso is a target, and that we are looking for a quality left-back rather than a back-up for Maxwell. If we are going for Grosso, we will be going for someone who is more or less a starter, and then Maxwell will have to face some tough competition.

 

[Gaetan]

When I checked inter.it about an hour ago, his interview wasn't on there. Thanks.

BRANCA: "TALKS WITH PALERMO"
Wednesday, 24 May 2006 16:39:43

MILAN - "Yes, it's true. We have spoken with Palermo's managers," said Inter technical director Marco Branca to journalists on leaving the Italian Football League's offices this afternoon. "We have talked things over and we will be seeing each other again in two or three days. Grosso? We haven't reached an agreement."

Branca, after today are you closer to or further away from Fabio Grosso?
"We were very close, but we haven't reached an agreement."

Luca Toni is having problems with Fiorentina...
"I take care of Inter's problems, not those of other clubs."

But would Toni like to join Inter?
"I don't know. Ask him."

Did you see the banner outside the Italian Football League's offices bearing the words 'the rules were only for Inter'?
(Branca smiles) "I think the rules should be for everyone. The rules before were respected by the other teams as well, not just by us."

Were you honestly expecting a scandal of such large proportions?
"I wasn't expecting it to be this big. There were a few things in the air, but I think something good can come out of all this."

What do you think of the decision to entrust the Italian FA's Investigations Bureau to (Clean Hands judge) Francesco Saverio Borrelli?
"He is a serious person."

So Luis [URL="http://www.inter.it/aas/squadra/player1?codgioc=G0791&L=en&stagione=2005/06"]Figo [/URL]was right when he accused Luciano Moggi...
"There's no need to comment on this. The facts have gone before us."

So do you want to comment on the declarations made by Fabio Cannavaro who has defended Moggi and Juventus by saying everyone did these things?
"Each person has his own vision of the world. It is not ours."

Every player wants to join Inter now. What do you think about this?
"There are many players in the world who would like to come to Inter because it is a big club with a great tradition."

What do you think about the idea of having foreign referees in the Italian championship?
"It could be a good idea for the first year to give a semblance of surprise. However, there are people in charge to handle these matters."

Is it true that every club telephoned those who appointed the referees?
"Yes, it is, but to find out which referee there was."

So what is the difference between Inter and the others?
"We all know what the difference is. There's no need to clarify."

What punishment do Juventus face?
"I don't know. There are authorities, and new ones at that, who will study the documents, and I'm sure they will make the right decisions."

Not everyone seems to like the Italian Football Federation's new commissioner Guido Rossi...
"I believe he's a serious and competent professional. And you can't always please everyone in life."

Did Italy coach Marcello Lippi do well not to resign?
"If he's calm, then yes."

 

[Neon]

If we do the sensible thing and get rid of Cesar and Kily, Maxwell can be a back up to Figo or start when he is too tired. Or he can interchange with Solari on the left.

Maxwell could be very versatile and useful.

But as I said the "sensible thing"........so I don't expect this to happen, so I can throw that out the window.

 

[Pravesh]

Grosso to Inter seems to be very possible now as according to Branca we were very close to an agreement already. Hopefully, we will sign him in 2/3 days time when the meeting takes place again and lets also hope that their crazy president won't be changing his mind.

But the question now is - Are we just after Grosso or are we really going after other players like Barone - Barzagli - Santana ??:rules:
