Matteo Darmian

[Besnik]

Grande! Not so much else to be said. The guy is beyond amazing in almost every aspect of the game. He can also perform very well in few different positions. We are blessed to have him in the team.

 

[wera]

The most versatile player we've had since Zanetti. We are a worse team when he isn't on the pitch.

 

[uny_arturo]

Very likely he'll have to play RWB against Real Sociedad with a much less experienced Bisseck behind him. I wouldn't expect the same spectacular performance and he'll have to be much more cautious. But in any case we should start crowdfunding for a statute for him

 

[Jagger]

Nah, I think it will be Darmian on RCB and Cuadrado as a winger

 

[Lyran]

I just wish we would have bought Darmian back in 2015.
Would definitely be Le Grande if so..

Guy is class, always a solid match with a few highlights.
One of the best performers the last few seasons

 

[bubba zanetti]

Fuck it. This thread is going LGI one day.

Definitely LGI. Guy scored some crucial goals in Scudetto season and is being one of our best players overall. His performances are already legendary in my book.

 

[Batman]

Never thought he’d be this important for us.

 

[Corrode]

Still in disbelief that Manchester United wasted his talent

Manchester United has wasted almost every talent since SAF.

 

[brehme1989]

Manchester United has wasted almost every talent since SAF.

And half of them during his reign.

Most players that panned out there (as transfers) weren't special or talented.
And most transfers were considered failures because he didn't utilize them properly.

Veron for example was a deep playmaker and was supposed to become a Zidanesque box-to-box midfielder for them so they called him a failure...

 

[pupivn]

It’s more than that, he had deep hand in transfer through his son’s company Elite Sports, forced youngsters signing with the company, many of his failures might be not good for the team but good for his “business”, it’s connected the infamous conspiracy theory of the downfall of MU due to the horse “Rock of Gibraltar”

 

[Fitzy]

This thread will be a great read in 10 years... He'll go LGI.

 

[Alex de Large]

 

[Ethor]

Not his best match by a long chalk, but came up big on a couple of defensive situations, so valuble and versatile.

 

[uny_arturo]

He could lose a ball but immediately wins it back (9 times out of 10). Exemplary work ethic and output as always. Dumfries needs to come back asap or we'll run Darmian to the ground. Looks like he'll have to play this Wednesday again.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I wouldn’t even call him up for Bologna. Let the lad enjoy a few nice days at lake Como or Maggiore with his wife.

Yes Inzaghi could field anyone against Bologna I don't care. Just leave this guy alone.
We don't even have a replacement for him from Primavera.

 

[thatdude]

You could tell today he was exhausted. Realistically he shouldn't be a wingback for this team long term. He is better as a RCB at this point in his career.

The problem is now that we have Dumfries and Cuadrado out we really don't have an option.

 

[CoolMan44]

Hopefully Inzaghi finds a way to limit his minutes. Whether it's playing Carlos Augusto as a right wingback for a part of a game or the start.

 

[Ethor]

Yeah, he needs a rest. The Coppa tournament needs to be sacrificed as Inter need to concentrate their efforts in the CL and Scudetto races imo. Try Klaassen or Frattesi on the wing. Augusto will probably replace Dimarco on the other wing for the Bologna match. You can play Sensi and even Agoume in the midfield as part of the rotation. Give Stabile a go on defense as well. The injuries/recoveries make it impossible for Inter field Darmian, Mkhitaryan and Acerbi match after match.

Was a direct swap with stam? I never understood the deal from Lazio perspective like they had couto and nesta already at that time, and the midfield was so crazy like Simone, Ned, stankovic, like why break it apart?
