Mauro Icardi

[PHM1605]

Before I comment on your post, define what does dragging your team forward means to you?

I already said. Similar to how Ibra carried us to Scudettos.

But you are contradicting yourself mate. If Ibra carried Inter on his shoulder towards Scudetto, then why not giving Icardi the credit he deserves?

They played with different teams. Ibra had far easier job to do that time in Serie A. Gobbi was relegated for cheating, and Inter was supposed to take over the ship. Besides, Ibra completely faded away in CL matches while it mattered the most.

Carried your team forward doesn't necessary means that you have to score impossible goals or dribbling your opponents or whatever. I don't have idea how do you define it, but once you drag your team to the next level while doing the impossible with limited amount of resoures, that can be considered as dragging your team forward.

Icardi has played with far inferior squad. He got the service because he was the one to make difference during that time and he delivered, no matter in which kind of match he played in.

He was an asshole for his character off the pitch, but for whatever you guys are discrediting his contribution in the pitch, you are just lying yourselves.

Well, so our standards have huge difference. I would not convince people on subjective opinions.

But let's point back to my original post. Which makes him so special to be paid more than the entire Serie A?

Sorry, that much for a 30yo in a farmers league is beyond retard. Galatasaray has to pay to convince good players to consider Turkey. But Inter? Come on.

Most players that leave Inter, they get the "fuck him" treatment and they get hated everytime that players team doesn't win.

Skriniar, Perišić, Shaqiri, Onana, Hakimi, Cancelo, Coutinho, K-Dog,..

So many posts about "he was overrated at Inter, hahah bitch, you change clubs because you are a fuckhead"

Even Kovačić, who was loved here gets hated because he wasn't instrumental at winning all of those CLs.

A part of FIF is reaaaaaally toxic.

Icardi dragged the team because the team was built around him. Most of our tactics were to move the ball wide, where Candreva or Perisic crossed the ball towards Icardi. It's not occasional that he delivered most of the goals and many people were concerned about scoring when he left for PSG. But we changed the tactics, and Oh miracle, the team started to score even more.
In fact, we as Inter fans used to overestimate him, while no top club was ready to pay his release clause or something close to that.

 

[Besnik]

But what's wrong with building your team around your best asset? Icardi was the best thing we had that time, and he delivered. You build the team around players you think will succeed or make difference. Inter is still playing the ball out wide and moving around with our wingbacks, but we are less predictable because we have more quality these days and our tactics differ to what has been with Icardi days.

In a heartbeat.

Other than Skriniar and Onana (''hated'' by pretty much just me), has any of those players got any hate? I dont think anyone even cared for Kondogbia, Coutinho or Shaqiri. Hakimi is still missed, while the only hate for Cancelo would be cause he went to Juve, but thats Inters fault, as they didn't buy him.
Also, me saying Kovacis has not showed his full potential and has been the same player since Madrid is not hate.

Another source writes that

Icardi looked for Inter return before Galatasaray move – report​

Mauro Icardi tried to find a way back to Inter before ultimately signing for Galatasaray this summer, reports suggest.

The Argentinian striker spent six years of his career with the Nerazzurri from 2013 to 2019 before he left for Paris Saint-Germain, initially moving on loan before making a €50m transfer the following summer.

After a difficult spell in the French capital, Icardi relaunched his career whilst on loan with Galatasaray last season, where he scored 22 goals in 24 league matches.

As reported by Tuttosport via TMW, Icardi explicitly asked his entourage to find a way for him to return to Inter this summer, keen on wearing the Nerazzurri shirt once again.

He was so keen to return, in fact, that he rejected an approach from another big Italian club – possibly Milan – in order to try and secure the move to Inter.

After failing to find a solution, Icardi ultimately decided to sign for Galatasaray on a permanent deal, putting pen to paper on a three-year contract.

Yeah and Inter supporters were keen of him getting rid of Wanda

I didn't notice that, but maybe you are right. I have negative feelings only towards Skriniar and Lukaku for the way how they left. I still wouldn't mind Perisic, Onana, Hakimi or Cancelo to come back if it is possible to happen in some conditions. Even, my feeling towards Icardi are mostly neutral as he was mainly influenced by his wife. He is just too much obsessed with her till the point of having no personal opinion. I cannot hate him for that.

I haven't seen a single poster hating on Perisic - in fact, I'd say he's liked by all Inter fans here, as he should be. Hakimi seems to be liked too. With Onana, I think there are arguments on how good he was, but I doubt anyone would dislike Onana from his time here. Shaqiri barely played here or made an impact so I don't think too many have much of an opinion on him.

The only 2 players from that list that may be disliked by some would be Skriniar and Kondogbia for different reasons.

 

[IM21]

We gonna buy him after we sell Thuram for 50M... Lets go! Lautaro - Icardi - Correa - Carboni. we winning everything.

Lol

It's true though

 

[bubba zanetti]

We had no idea if he was good enough, though. He hasn't played real, high level football in three years. And sorry, but I'm not willing to call him "back" after dominating a farmer's league and United's wretched defense.

He cant be worse than Arnautović.

 

[wera]

I haven't seen a single poster hating on Perisic -

All of the players I mentioned got hated in some form. Perišić at first that he went to Bayern and then that he didn't deserve the CL win because he wasn't a starter. After that it was because he didn't stay (management did fuck up by not giving him a new contract sooner) and went to Spurs, so every time Spurs didn't win, there were posts about how Perišić wasn't even all that good for Inter except for his last season here

Hakimi was getting the "not even that good" treatment as a coping mechanism by some. For us, he was an attacking RWB, for PSG he is a B2B RB haha. He had his good and his bad games, but he never really looked any worse than what was his average at Inter. I would say he has been one of the better players for them, even tho he is more suited to be a RWB.

Coutinho was getting the "he would never be good enough for Inter, we gave him enough chances" After he left Liverpool to go to Barcelona, he got lambasted because he didn't perform (deservedly so), but the same people also acted like he didn't have at least 2,5 boss seasons at Liverpool. At a certain point, he and Suarez were too good for EPL.

Why Icardi got hated, we all know, but his contribution for us soon got downplayed. Sure, I also didn't like his ghost mode during games, that is why I prefer players like Lautaro or Kane. He fucked his own career and he would be an Inter legend if he stayed under the right conditions (I'm 75% sure in that assesment). Now just because he is in Galatasaray, suddenly he isn't Inter level anymore?

With Onana it's malice from some members. They just never liked him, maybe because he replaced our aging, beloved captain and that showed that there can be life after Handanović. I would love to have at least 7 clean sheets in every CL season. And that's after playing in a group with Bayern and Barcelona.

Well I could go on, but I won't.


Let me end on this - treasure the players we have. This is actually a good Inter era right now. Also good players can have bad games but they can still turn it around. Just look at Barella. He isn't a boss every game. So let's not throw hate at him if he ever leaves and doesn't perform there. Only what he did for us matters.

 

[Armes]

I find it funny how a lot of posts go "high wages for a bench player". You ppl really think Icardi would have been benched?

Yes

 

[RotterdamNerazzurri]

As a matter of fact (if you don’t count his personality) he would have been ideal for us. Just the type of player we lack. I thought he was totally done at top level, but he’s proving me otherwise the last months. I still think he isn’t good enough the be a sure starter anymore, but he certainly would have his worth.

Still sad how it went with Icardi. I totally loved this guy when we where at banter era. Would have been an icon if he was a little different. We still earned 50 mln on him. And Lukaku showed he was a worthy replacement (his first spell).

 

[Il Drago]

Marotta was asked to choose between Lukaku and Icardi now. He picked Icardi
