FIF's Dramatic last day of the Mercato - Summer 2023

[vex]

Love for Asllani in this forum is unreal lol
I cant remember anything special this fella did for us when he played. Not a single shot or pass. Did he scored any goal, I cant remember. Oh yea, I remember that miss against Barca. Almost costed us CL glory from last season. Stop crying, maybe this turns great for him, if he leaves he'll play more and he can return to us in much better shape.

He had some good moments, but overall I agree people overrate him here. Think his biggest problem is that he doesn't have proper maturity to play in one of the most demanding positions on the pitch, and inzaghi got no patience to wait for anyone, which is understandable, our mngmt is talking about second star since before preseason started.

It will be better for Asllani go to some Serie A team and get meaningful minutes so he can show his worth. Rotting in bench last year obviously didn't do his carreer any good. Inzaghi doesn't trust him and many of you can complain but that's just the truth and it is not gonna change anything. So for his own sake he better pack his bag and flourish elsewhere so he can be sold for plusvalenza or contribute meaningfully next season.

Is this the first time in FIF, a player signed without a Thread for him being made?

 

[ElDuccio]

overreacting to a free signing that probably be a rotation player at max is classic FIF.

the mercato remains amazing for me, Inzaghi could also get gabigol as fifth striker but we still got really good players and have also a good bench this year. Not like one time when Adriano and Martins were sitting there, but still really good compared to the one of other Serie A teams.

 

[NimAraya]

Don't get what all the complaining is about. It's not like we sold our best midfielder and replaced him with this guy. He'll start a few coppa matches and we'll be subbed in when we're leading 3-0 against someone. Would you guys expect us to splash 20mil on someone to warm up the bench?

Me neither. I reserve my judgment for when I see him play. For 1.5m salary on a 1+1 deal it's an ok deal.

Plus he has good vision and passing skills, so cheer up fellas (pun intended).

Well, if we had any money left we would definitely get someone better than this old fart.

"didn't want to make any money from this deal"

Speak volume about the quality that we are getting

Well, if we had any money left we would definitely get someone better than this old fart.

The tragic is he isn’t even that old he just play like he was 4 years older.

I had to look it up: but since his move back to Ajax Klaassen played 20 CL games, scoring twice. Against Dortmund (3-0 won and Napoli 4-2 loss). His first season he scored 12 times in the Eredivisie. His last two 8 in 33 and 9 in 31. He also has a total of 3 assist in those two seasons. From the top-6 he only scored against Feyenoord (offcourse) last season and in 21/22 only against PSV from the top-7.

These stats pretty much sums up his past two seasons.

Look better than Gags or Vecino atleast.

Now 1 midfielder needs to be offloaded, right? Is it going to be Agoume / Sensi / perhaps Asllani to get proper playing time and further develop?

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Asllani will linger at Appiano Gentile for next season:

The former Empoli man could well be the only natural replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu in the deep-lying playmaker role.

With Marcelo Brozovic out of the club, Asllani might earn more playing time this season compared to last term.

In theory, yes.

 

[Alex de Large]

So probably Klaassen will get minutes the first couple of months we should have given to Frattesi. Klaassen will show nothing in these minutes. Then Limone realizes Klaassen is useless and he rot on the bench or stands for a couple of months. In the summer we desperately try to loose him and have to golden handshake him. Or he will sit out his time in Milan.

This is exactly what’s going to happen isn’t it?

Yes.

[Adriano@10]

Dude is 30 some of you are acting like he s 35+....
I really dont get all the fuss a cheap signing that gives us another option in midfield wtf is the problem

 

[Jane The Virgin]

This isn't even a panic buy...

This is something completely new.


What is this?

 

[pupivn]

So if both Sensi and Asllani are not out, we’re buying insurance for Sensi? I guess Sensi will extend and be out in next transfer window.

 

[Alex de Large]

I guess with Gags and Correa out FIF needs someone new to hate, and what better than a bald finished guy?
Cuntdrado could be hated but for some other reasons, not his quality as a player.

 

[OkiOki]

What is this?

Moment of craziness...

Also insurance in case neither aslani nor frattesi step up their game..
