I watched a game of Atletico when Kondogbia played and he was a boss. All over the pitch intercepting like prime Kante. But I've only seen one game.

The problem with Kondogbia never was his quality or his skills. The biggest issue with him always was his mentality. He doesn't have the right mentality to succeed at a top club and he has admitted so himself. We have already seen this. When Inter got Valero and Vecino he decided to leave the club at all costs instead of staying and fighting for a position with Gagliardini, Valero and Vecino.

Honestly not questioning Conte on who he signs. If he wants this loser and he can fix him like he did all the Man U trash we got. Then so be it.

They signed him last summer when Arsenal decided to activate Partey release clause.

I agree but at the same time I don't want him here after the interview. I don't think he is man enough to suit Conte's plan. Plus, we already have Gagliardini for that roll.

Atletico have a track record of making defensive players look better than they really are so id never buy players from there

Godin in particular was excellent for Villarreal and Uruguay.

Always said this kid wasnt so bad. He was our black sheep back then and cracked under the pressure. Errors aside showed some nice things with us. Maybe he matured in spain and has his confidence back

I suppose there is an exemption to everything but generally what I remember from most of atletico defensive players they were flops.


Felipe Luis, Partey, Vrsaljko, Lucas Hernandez certainly was not worth the fee, Otto.

not to say they are not good players, its just they were utilised in a peculiar way that played to the best of their abilities which is hard to replicate in a new system. Think of it the same as buying players from Atalanta

If Kdog somehow survives Conte's treatment, he actually could be fine in Conte's rigid system.

I see what you're saying.

Except for a few aliens like Messi and CR, every football player is a human athlete. What the coach is supposed to do is make the team play his way while also playing to the players strenghts. I'd say coaches like Mou, Conte and Simeone focus on defence and that's why defensive players look so good for them (not always, but mostly). Like De Vrij is great for us right now, but he wasn't that good with Spalletti, because it's a different type of defence. Skriniar at first wasn't bossing as a RCB, but he's been getting into it.

Have you read his interviews after he left us?

Possibly did at the time, not sure though.. We all welcomed n9 back and he did it again, same principle. Send us a link if you have one bro if no I'll give it a search.

"Inter Could Move To Re-Sign Geoffrey Kondogbia From Atletico Madrid, Spanish Media Claim
Fichajes.net said Atletico hoped to recover some of their investment on the 28-year-old, who is not part of Simeone’s plans for next season.
Inter are thought to be one of the possible destinations for Kondogbia, as the Nerazzurri look to reinforce their options in midfield."

Seriously?! He will be mentally destroyed after first training session under Conte.

Yeah, he can go fuck himself after fucking off when Spalletti wanted to keep him.

I'm skipping through the channels looking for the Inter and I see this guy on the field for Atletico. Suddenly it all became clear how they managed to throw away a commanding lead in the league.
