Is it the time to sell Samuel?

[changzl]

Maybe few of you will agree with me but I think it's the time to sell Samuel.
Firstly the reason why we bought Samuel is that Burdisso didn't prove his ability but now it's different.Burdisso can do everything Samuel can do and he can still improve with more and more match.imo Samuel is our 4th choice in central defence so it's too wasteful too keep Samuel just as a 4th chorce defender?In fact no big club in europe has four world class defenders like us.
Secondly we have 2 very promising youngsters at Andreolli and Bonucci.We must give more opportunity to our yongsters so they can improve as quickly as possible.If we sell Samuel then Burdisso can be fixed in centrak defence so he won't move to right and give Bonucci more opportunity.Certainly,Andreolli can get more playing time.I'm always suspicious the impact of loaning out our youngsters.
I don't know if I offend the rules or not.If I do Please forgive me and delete it.

well, he is CL tied. there are not many team who do not play in cl or uefa cup and suit his calibre. only if they are in critical situation, such as playing rb and dm as cd's (read chelski ;P). maybe jube is able to attract him (a very bad joke, i know ).
besides, if he is leaving we will force to use andreolli as 4th cd. i am just not confident with it. there is a possibility that if he IS the 4th cd (playing time consideration), his value will drop in june. but i, personally, do not care about it. we need him to secure our back line 'till the end of championship.
considering andreolli, loan him out and evaluate his performance.

simple answer? no

samuel is 28 and is just entering the stage of his career where he will peak

materazzi has peaked and doing very well for us but it wont last the entire season let alone a few more years

samuel will have a good inter career

 

[lonewolf19]

Yea, I also agree keeping Samuel unless we are getting another defender to replace him. I still stand by him and think he will have few more great years in front of him

 

[cloudq]

also, samuel is a serie a tested defender

the only defender i would consider replacing him with is puyol

 

[kova9]

This is a nonsense..

materazzi is 33, and playing the best football of his life.
he will retire at the age of 34,35 or we will release him, and then we will have cordoba,samuel and burdisso..

samuel is one of the best serie a defenders..

andreolli is more like RB than CD...

KEEP IL MURO

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

I would sell him,but in summer, and would replace him with new one...
Like Andrade for example

I absolutely agree with the Samuel part.:stuckup:


But Andreolli looks like a great CB!

 

[Pajo]

We should definitely keep Samuel.. His marking is perfect, he is 28 and he is great defender.... Think I'm crazy, but I would rather sell Matrix or Cordoba...

 

[cannavaro]

we need Samuel, he's a great defender (one of the best in serie a)
he'll get better because he is only 28
we need to have 4 GOOD cd, because we can get an injury or two, and then it goes to **** (look at chelshitt)

 

[Gaetan]

Several reasons why it would be a mistake to sell him. For one, Materazzi had a sensational 2006 year and we cannot expect him to keep this up at his age. He's become a respectful leader of the defense, but Samuel is only 28 years old and that is extremely young for a player of his caliber, defensively. I think that this season and maybe the next he serves as a role player, but he can play a vital role for Inter for years to come. The Wall may not be at his best right now, but there's no doubting his class.

Another reason, fluke injuries have haunted Inter time and time again. Our depth is excellent, but we've got the luck we're we'll end up with Andreolli as our only healthy central defender for a month or some crap like that.

No reason to sell him unless he demands it.

I think we should sell him and buy a younger, more skilled player in the summer. He is a good defender, but I just think he is sloppy at times and has zero finesse. Samuel hasn't played much this season so he hasn't really had a chance to prove his value, but I don't think he was that extraordinary last season, so I don't really know why people are so fond of him.

 

[1919]

more than Samuel, i wud be looking at selling cordoba

 

[M.Adnan]

We have a 28-29 Walter Samuel as a back-up and you people are not satisfied?

Some Inter fans won't be happy until they have Simic, Boumsong, Heleguera or a 35 Thuram as their 3rd choice in defence.

 

[To1do]

samuel is good and better sell burdisso !
or materazzi he is oldddd

The problem is that he doesn't agree to be a backup. I've heard there was some incident between him and Mancini during the derby. I think he is unhappy with his current position in the team. He must choose, stay and faight for a place withaut being sure that he will get it or leave to Juve and have first 11 for sure.

 

[bjwam4]

It's not a matter of (Us) being happy or not with Samuel as a back-up. I think we can profit from his sale (possibly by obtaining Mancini). By either using Andreolli or buying a younger player, we might be conidition that person into a better player than Samuel. I'm not saying to go out and buy a world-class back-up, just a young talented player with potential.

Since you say we should sell him, please tell me who will you buy with all that money?

Please also name players who are younger, more talented and ready to join a team in which there are 3 players vying for the starting place with Matrix.

:irritate: :irritate:

I dont know if I'm right or wrong on this one, but a defender gets better with experience and around 30 is the time when most CB's peak.

you misunderstand my opinion.I said clearly It's very wastleful to keep Samuel as a back-up.We can't afford to keep a player whom we paid over 15M euro for only for playing 10 full games or so in a season or coming off the bench after 80th minutes in a game.
Even we sell samuel we won't ever have Simic,Boumsong as our 3rd choice cause at the moment we have Burdisso or Cordoba and in the future we have Andreolli or some other yongsters.I have confidence in Andreolli.

 

[M.Adnan]

If Inter sell Samuel now, they'll go again and look for another world-class defender like Samuel to replace Materazzi after 1-2 seasons. And btw, Cordoba will be 32-33, so he's the one could be replaced.

Burdisso was(is) playing only because Samuel is injuried. Otherwise, Samuel would play all the matches since Cordoba's injury.

A third world class defender like Samuel is needed in a team like Inter. Imagine us playing against Milan instead of Atalanta before the break.

But if Samuel thinks that he's better than the best defender in the world (Matrix), then it's his problem.
