Puh.. thats a shitty situation. Its ok if he dont wanted him. Still , Gabi is not a bad element for the future. Even if you dont wanted the player, why should you not let him play? Im sure there are also other players that he dont wanted if he already was at Inter 1 year ago. Really strange..

I get the feeling that you think de Boer was "against" Gabi by not fielding him. I actually believe the contrary, I think just as KevinB mentioned above, that he was managing a youngster very well, and protecting him.

No idea. Maybe his efforts in training were not that of a player that truly wants to show that he is giving his all?

I dont know de Boer personally, but from what Ive heard from ajax fans, is that this dude is strict when it comes to effort. He demands a lot, and doesnt put up with half-ass work. And truth to be told, at this point, looking at the efforts of those who even play, I wouldnt be surprised if Gabigol wasnt taking the trainings super serious.

I mean...Our players WALK on the field, dont care when we have throw ins, complain, and "forget' to cover their opponent. And these are the guys that are playing. I can only imagine how the level of effort is during training...

What we've heard from every poster here who followed De Boer in Ajax is that handling youngsters is one of his specialties. Perharps we should look at his Gabigol handling from a positive point of view? He has already introduced Miangue and Gnoukouri?

But no. Some people deserve a fucktard like Mancini who gambled with Santon, prefered Melo in useless games over Gnoukouri and wanted to sell Miangue.

Youngsters yes but hes never handled a youngster who arrived for 30m and a massive reputation and a lot of hype. Thats a bit different to giving Miangue game time.

Plus, as the pressure insreased, Miangues game time became non existent and grande Naga found his way back in the team.

To this day, I cannot see where Barbosa fits into this team. It is nice to have a promising young player in our ranks but Inter as a club, have never managed young players well and money spent on Barbosa should have been used to consolidate our shitty defence. It goes without saying that we need a left and right back as well as a solid reserve in the middle of defence.

I feel sorry for Barbosa because he has signed for a clueless, shit, directionless club that needs a miracle to get back on track. And I am not convinced that a change in coach will give him more playing time because he is a difficult fit for this team.

I suspect the fact that de Boer didn't play Barbosa worked against him with Suning. If the powers that be buy flash, fancy new players, you best play them if you wanna stick around.

If that's the case, than it's just what we needed, more irrationality coming from the management. Our particular version of Florentino Perez's first stint at Real Madrid, buy Beckham, Owen and Robinho, and let your manager fix your defence with Pavón if he must, as long as those expensive signings all get to play.

Yep, troubling isn't it?

If Eder gets a chance in a position where he dont plays, then why not Gabigol too?

29.5 mil and he needs protection and time. Gimme a break. I understand cultural differences and playing style but how does benching him, make him more adjusted to the game. Is he taking on notes on our recent brilliant performance? Is he running around more pylons, memorizing tactics in training or practicing his special move or a top secret formation? Probably not. Gut feeling tells me they bought him because there was hype and competition. There is no chance in hell this club bought him after careful selection because he fits into our plans. We have no plans. Just play him when there is a chance, because if they try gradual integration, he'll be 100 years old.

Can't call an italian national team player a fucking nobody

He might not be the best player around in the globe, but he definetively is better than most italian who plays in his same role

Half of the games we were losing already in the second half and bringing in a youngster in a new country is wrong in such situations. Though I have no idea why he didnt play in Empoli for example when we were winning comfortably.

In our situation, we need "Messiah" to help the team.
FdB benched him because he's not Jesus. We got different Gabriel. That's the problem

disagree, Jesus was playing for us before he moved to Roma, and we have Jesus here on FIF but still it doesn't help the team.

Of course he didn't want Gabigol. We've been in touch with Gabigol even before Olympics. He was given Gabigol. But that doesn't mean he has dismissed Gabigol from the squad.
