Welcome. This signals our intent to play big and win big again.

Kudos to Ausilio, Thohir and Suning for making this deal (and Gabigol to come) happen.

What the fuck, Shaun. You can't just post an image of text instead of the text itself.

also that first image is going to disappear in a day if you link it from inter.it. You need to re upload it to another image hosting site.

We better hope this guy comes in and improves our midfield from day 1 after seeing today's match...

For whatever reason I wasn't able to copy the text from our official website.

And why can't I copy an image of text instead?

For some reason it doesn't work to select a piece of text on inter.it, at least for me.

I think after today's game I understand where we're heading with J.Mario.

With Benega playing deep behind, you need atleast one CM who can pass and has an intelligence of a natural human being. This doesn't work with both Medel and Kondogbia playing. Here's where I think that J.Mario will be very useful, assuming that he doesn't turn to be another Kondogbia.

if we can play like we did today and have joao slots into where medel played then the future looks promising

It's disabled on purpose, for some reason with jQuery [bind('copy paste cut drag drop', function (e) { e.preventDefault();]...

I'd rather see Kondogbia missing playing time than sitting Medel, that midfield would lack someone to recover lost balls, not someone losing them on purpose

Since the other thread was closed, I'll post this again.

If we are playing the same formation with Medel in a B2B advanced role, we are sacrificing a lot of attacking quality which can be provided by either JM or Brozovic.
I don't know much about JM, but I hope he can bring that stability which is between ball recovery and attacking potential. Brozovic cannot do this yet as he lacks discipline, however I also think this is something that he can improve on with time.

So we spent 45mil to make up for 40mil's deficiency.

Hopefully this grand total of 85mil will solve our midfield problem once and for all.

 

[Inter7]

Great pick up Idc about he cost he will be useful for us. Hoping Sporting fans werent just hyping him, I love smart technical players. Forza JM

 

[varmin]

I hope he won't be next Kondogbia.

 

[Demokritos]

So now, brozo banega JM
interesting mid trio?

Actually banega is quite defensively solid, his one on one is very very good. I saw many occations when he is tracking back.

Last season played 33 games in the leage and had 6 goals and 11 assists. He was mostly played on the right wing poisition.

 

[M.Adnan]

Interesting resemblance with Stankovic.

 

[Harpsabu]

he'll be a CM here. We have Candreva and Gabigol now at the right wing.
