Lautaro Martinez

[varmin]

24 and a half? Lmao, grats on finishing kindergarten.

So you would sell him and buy who? That bum Scamacca? Who has proven exactly diddly squat?

Selling Lautaro on a low would be a ridiculous piece of business.

You miss the fact that Inter will buy Scamacca regardless of Lautaro staying or not.
It's clear that he struggles in our new style and if Inzaghi stays for the next season, I don't see what will be changed. Scammacca will be used in a Dzeko's role most probably, and unless he makes great partnership with Lautaro, the latter will have one more mediocre season and his price will go down.
I don't say to sell him now, but if satisfactory offer comes (75-80mln), Marotta shall consider it.

The last two pages has been all about that from all sorts of lesser gifted individuals. Not you specifically, so i apologize if you felt singled out.

And ofcourse he should receive criticism when performing subpar, but the notion from some people here of getting rid of him, a 24 year old forward on a low, when there are so many old and/or useless donkeys in the team, is just mindblowing.

But by all means, sell Lautaro, buy an unproven Fratessi and Scamacca, who is basically a prettier version of that utter talentless donkey Petagna.

I also have no clue who this Nadzington character is, an easy IP check should confirm im not him. I rarely post here, but the notion that going against the popular opinion makes you some kinda indfidel is hilarious and probably the reason why you struggle to get many new members here. Alot of clueless sheep on this site, sadly.

The way I see it, lautaro has 6 months to show us we can build our attack around him. He's been really disappointing this season in such an attacking team. He's 25 in August so he's not some unproven teenager / young talent. He's shown the same inconsistency the last 2 seasons.
As the previous pages say, he's not a batman, he's a Robin, he needs a stronger partner beside him. I'm not sure we can afford that anymore.

You can disagree with that all you want, it doesn't make me nor you clueless, because there are different opinions it makes no one clueless.

We could get 70m for him if he sits out the rest of the season man... if he has a great World Cup his price tag goes to 150m... Have you seen the state of strikers in the world and how much money is thrown at anyone? Lautaro is one of the top ones as frustrating as he's been lately.

I'm aware that players can be greater than the sum of their individual attributes but the recent months have highlighted something that has been blindingly obvious for years anyway. That having any semblance of speed will go a long way. That having the ability to occasionally beat your man will go a long way. That having any kind of standout skill will go a long way. And that Lautaro possesses none of these things.

Compare Lautaro's attributes to any of these "top ones" and he'll rank dead last in every category. Speed? Even a shitter like Morata would sprint 100 meters before Lautaro could reach 50. Dribbling? Dude couldn't dribble past a training cone. Finishing? Lautaro's finishing, composure and shot selection is laughably poor and inconsistent. Even his shot power is equivalent to a paraplegic driving into a football with their wheelchair.

Yes, he has some redeeming qualities but I think it's being proven in front of our eyes that these redeeming qualities only go so far to make up for his lacking in other areas - and that isn't far enough to be truly elite.

I'm "happy" to wait for him to come good - because that is our only option considering we just extended him on massive wages and no one will take him off our hands. But I just don't see it happening given his inherent limitations. I'd even go so far to say that he's barely improved in his time here. Regardless, I'll support him and hope he can completely shut me up, put it together and grow on all fronts. But it's going to be a fucking headache.

What do you expect? For him to score every game? He made 17 goals and 10 assists last season in less than 2600 minutes, but that wasnt even "decent" in your book?

He is having a bad stretch right now, but this season he still has 11 goals and 2 assists in 1300 minutes, which is by no means bad.

GL having Inter afford and attract a better young forward lol.

You football manager kiddies crack me up, wanting to replace players after every bad game and never looking at the stats or the big picture.

Reported for harashment

Whats your problem pal, if you have problems at home or work dont come here to show your frustration. Chill out

 

[YoramG]

I guess what I'm mostly wondering is where these kinds of goals have gone. I cannot even fathom current Lautaro scoring what he did here in Dortmund, because he's so confidence-deficient that he wouldn't dream of running forward with the ball there. Right now he'd turn around on himself and probably play it to Barella.

You need to chill out. Stop with the "holier than thou" attitude or you're going to get banned (again).

We have 2 dinos in Sanchez and dzeko

Sanchez turned 33 two months ago. I reckon he has at least two seasons at the elite level left. Dude is fit as fuck and runs his ass off. Sanchez is not the problem, if anything he is one of the more useful weapons of this squad. The only negative period of his career was at United, but pretty much everyone who was at United in the past 10 years had a negative period there.

 

[DiegoMilito22]

How tf Lautaro got 5.5 and Dzeko 6.7 vs Liverpool? Lol bullshit ratings.

Yep. My striker.

 

[Eddie]

I’m a Lautaro fan….. but if a good offer comes we should do it.
But if we spend that money on scammaca then we are even worse.

As we seen against Liverpool, Scammaca is not the striker to win CL…. Do we want to just dominate Serie A or be an European contender.

Simeone really wants Lautaro….. a Lautaro, Joao Felix swap plus idk 40M would be amazing…. But we still gotta spend on a good powerful strike WITH PACE.

 

[Harpsabu]

Welcome back Nadzington

Lmao,

https://twitter.com/x/status/1494640399255838724

Yep. My striker.

He tried to move to Barca for like 2 years and would almost certainly be there if they didn't realise they were even more broke than us lol

Lol people actually forgot how his agent and himself flirted with barca, and real as well when there was big hype around him. I don't have a problem with it, it was probably used as leverage for better contract at inter, but this type of my this, my that bullshit should be reserved for players like skriniar and bastoni, not him.

Agreed! I don't give a fuck that he was doing it, but yes, let's not pretend that he had no interest and always wanted to stay at inter etc

 

[Tamirk]

I think that very big part of his horrible form is because he and dzeko have absolutely 0 synergy, they just cant play together, like at all..
I dont know why inzaghi just cant see that, lautaro need to play with alexis or dzeko as lone striker, let those two play together is very bad for us..

That was two years ago. Lautaro was ready to go, Inter was ready to sell.

Then COVID hit and it all fell apart as Barcelona couldn't afford him.

Correa injuries certainly haven't helped but Inzaghi's management of his forwards is problematic. Dzeko is ridiculously overused.

Hopefully once Correa is back we see much less of Lautaro-Dzeko duo.

God, i hope so...

I think Lautaro has hit his limit. Good player, he has a little bit of everything but doesn’t excel at anything.

Well put. I feel the same way about Lautaro now. A good player, and that's it. There's no 'special' factor about him that makes him indispensable. You see, with Lautaro, I always have a feeling that he would botch it whenever a chance is presented to him. It's strange considering that he has actually scored a decent enough number of goals in the past 2 seasons. But somehow, I still have that feeling. Yup, he has scored some nice goals for sure, but those goals, for some reason, look like instinctive, or rather 'just blast this, give it a go and see if it goes in' kind of goals if you know what I mean.

Players like Thierry Henry, Eto'o, or heck, even Icardi, when they are presented with a goal scoring opportunity, you would always have thay 'that's it, he's going to score for sure' kind of feeling. Players like Ibrahimovic and Adriano, when they scored a spectacular goal, or Robben whenever he scored his spectacular trademark signature cut inside and curl it to the top corner goals, you would go 'fuck yes, I knew he would pull that off'. But with Lautaro, you don't feel that.

I have said many times that I like Lautaro and appreciate his workrate. But he's supposedly a star forward of Inter. At Inter, it is mandatory to have a top forward. It is our tradition. Clueless pressing and work rate alone would never suffice to make you a top forward. Lautaro needs to improve on his techniques and footballing IQ, massively.
