I really wouldn't read much into GdS reports of this alleged discontent. I feel this could be anything. I hope we can monetize Vecino though we need then to sign a new midfielder in this window. :lol:

It's not as simple as a straight swap, but obviously I would take the turnover of Vecino out and Eriksen in.

That said, I've always been a big believer of having variety in the midfield. In terms of what they bring to the pitch, Vecino departing would leave us with a void of his type of midfielder.

I'm simplifying greatly here, but I always saw Vecino as kind of a shit SMS/Nainggolan/Vidal type. i.e. a physical and direct goalscoring midfielder who can drive forward with the ball. Indeed, his best game for us was the 3-2 derby against Milan where Spalletti played him as an AM of sorts.

People often compare Vecino to a horse, and this comparison aptly describes both his good and poor qualities. Eriksen definitely scores goals and brings other assets that we lack, such as set piece quality. But if Vecino were to leave, we wouldn't have that physical attacking CM in our squad anymore.

Eriksen actually covers a ton of km's too. He's not a lazy Ozil type. But he really doesn't tackle much at all, and he doesn't have that same horselike, galloping grinta, speed, physicality and aerial threat that Vecino has.

I've been skeptical about Vidal for a number of reasons, such as his age, mohawk, partying habits, and that we have Nainggolan on the books etc. But that's one area where Vidal would be undeniably more useful than Eriksen. He brings that dominant physicality, speed and power to the midfield that Eriksen simply doesn't possess.

That said, all things considered, I would still opt for Eriksen over Vidal. I would also sooner replace Gagliardini with Erisken(/Vidal) than Vecino but whatever.

I've just had enough of Vecino for 10 lifetimes, nothing in the world would please me more than seeing him and gags out of here.

I'm not worried about getting replacements with similar qualities, there's a zero chance that whoever we sign to replace them to be worse.

if i had to take a guess, i would say that vecino is probably too much of an "anarchist" in his eyes, by which i mean he probably doesn't stick to what conte asks of him to do. i mean, vecino tends to roam on the pitch and it often looks like what he's doing is kind of random.

Vecino agent arrived at Inter HQ. There's certainly something going on with him.

the only redeeeming quality of vecino, who is otherwise in almost pretty much every other respect a mediocre midfielder, is that he does his thing and doesn't care about the rest. he doesn't seem to feel the pressure of big games and that's why he tends to stand out in important matches: almost everyone else is kind of "freezed" because of the tension, he isn't.

so he gave that assist in the derby, he scored against lazio and tottenham, he almost scored against empoli (and his counter-attack lead to the goal anyway).

he's also quite good with headers. and i have seen him score a couple of long range goals before he joined Inter.

he kind of made sense in that neurotic team that was spalletti's Inter; in a highly organized system, he doesn't fit.

Don't have one.
Man if we could get rid of vecino now and get eriksen, and do the same with gagliardini in summer and bring tonali to replace him, it would be like heaven... After many years we would not have any subpar players in midfield...
Hopefully borja just fucks off :D

More and more sources reporting a "break" between club and player. Some saying even if he does stay, Conte will exclude him from the UEFA list. I wonder what happened.

Conte must have asked him to follow the play.

Vecino agent said his client is happy in Milano and the meeting wasn't about him.

I`m ready to take that risk :datass: I trust Marotta cannot bring in a more useless midfielder

Feel ya bro, just sell him outright and convince him he has no place in the squad, just like in cases of Icardi, Nainggolan and Perisic.

Hope we have more offers for him. Come on Ancelotti!

I guess that`s the plan, however we need buyers. We wanted to offload Borja last year but his agent confirmed he will out-live his contract, which will expire this summer.

Agent Pasquale Guarro has denied that Matias Vecino will leave Inter this winter and claimed the Uruguayan “is happy in Milan”.

The rumours about an exchange deal with Tottenham to bring Christian Eriksen to San Siro this winter, were followed up by a report about Everton coming for the midfielder. After a meeting with the Nerazzurri hierarchy, agent Guarro was coy on the speculation surrounding his client.

“We didn’t talk about players, absolutely not,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “Matias in the Premier League? He is happy in Milan.

“The hypotheses that are circulating, are all created by the media. Matias is very happy at Inter. We spoke about other stuff.”

well then, make him UNHAPPY!!!!!!!!!! :fffuuu:

He won’t leave by his choice but he will have to be pushed out of Inter by telling him he is no longer part of Conte’s plans.

Football Juve at its best :lol:

Pasquale Guarro is an Italian journalist who works for calciomercato.com. Vecino's agent is Alessandro Lucci.
