Mauro Icardi

[Puma]

I'm not sympathetic to Argentina but they couldn't create enough goal-scoring chances, something that Icardi is hardly going to help with, and even if Icardi was there, he's not going to be taking penalties, Messi is.

They do not create enough goalscoring chances because everything they do goes through Messi. They do not know how to play as a unit and although Icardi would not help them in that regard, when the time comes, they will have to learn to play as a team.

Regarding Messi being the team's designated penalty taker, they should ask someone else to take them because he has does not have the mental fortitude to get the job done and that is pretty much the essence of my last post. Unfortunately, it is only going to get harder for him and Argentina as the tournament goes on.

Yeah, Aguero should take the penalties for them. And Sampaoli should definitely figure out something better than this eternal "give ball to Messi and let him take care of everything" bullshit Argentina has gone for 10 years. Guess it's also players' fault for falling for that? They just demote themselves when Messi is around.

Well enough of the OT.

Interesting to see when the new contract will be signed with Icardi. Is our management playing with fire and waiting that period in July when the release clause is active? To show Wanda that no one is going to pay that release clause so she doesn't have a leverage to ask for 8m€ annual salary?

sell him...

ahahahaha

 

[Ronaldo]

Going to be Awkward when Icardi scores 27 next season and Martinez scores 15 but Icardi doesnt get called to the NT

You think Lautaro is going to score 15 goals in his first season? I thought you were against this transfer...

 

[chipschups]

Argentina will win next Coppa America with Icardi and Lautaro upfront.

 

[Alex de Large]

Icardi 29 goals
Higualin 16 goals

Way to go, fucking baldi.
This is what happens when you are a useless bald idiot and Messi makes your lineup.

On the weekend, Argentina needed a penalty taker with ice in his blood and absolutely no fear. Instead, they only had Lionel Messi.

You mean FRIONEL MESSI.

Higuain 1 CL final and 2 leagues/copppa in a row while Icardi barely managed to qualify for CL.

Scoring more goals doesn't necessary mean a better player and especially doesn't mean that you will fit better to any team system just because you scored more.

He in the end was better off not going for his own sake. Maybe he would've gotten a goal or two, but in the end that team is so shit a unit that he would've probably come out of it with a tainted reputation. His hope is that they have a proper rethink and he becomes the spearhead of an attack when Argentina actually plays football.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. He should be glad he wasn't picked up just to underperform badly with this current lineup. Now Argies will have to regroup and who knows, he might be the leader of this new team that will actually amount to something. Whatever happens usually happens for the best.

Higuain has way more talent than Icardi around him.

So you're saying that if Icardi was at Juve he would score 50? Higuain has been the top scorer at napoli where he had less talent then at Juve.

Again there are many ways for a team to score, that is why i am against this idea that somehow we would be ruined if we sold icardi.
I wouldn't like to give it Juve for Higuain just because it would be taken as a sign of weakness for us but if Higuain would be a player of any other team i would for sure Swap Icardi for Higuiain + 50M any day instead of destroying whole youth system just to get some money.

 

[ADRossi]

People here severely underrate Higuain. He's a big game choke artist, to the extreme, but on a Sunday afternoon against Sassuolo there are few strikers who are better. He disappears less against smaller teams than Icardi.

With that being said, these nonsensical rumors need to stop.

yea,i agree,id rather destroy our next season because our youth system has produced many world class players like benassi and duncan.

Icardi being topscore playing with Palacio, guarin, kuzmanovic, nagatomo, Jonathan and Dodo while in the process Inter changing coach from Mazzari to Mancini, How is that look? Did higuain ever play with such a shitty team? Or ever experiencing changing 3 coach in one year? What he got is luxurios comparing what Icardi got in Inter, a proper coach with firm tactic, established team with not much changing squad in every season, plus everyone is agree Napoli and Juve is way superior than inter in past 5 year while for icardi he only got that luxurious since last year.

add candreva to that list.

16 goals + 6 assists in 32 games is preeeetty good, if you ask me... or anyone for that matter.

Still, I never liked Higuain for some reason. He's a great striker, but if I had 50-60M I'd definitely look elsewhere.

Well, let's also not forget that Juve has a much healthier goal scoring distribution than us. Our team for the last couple of years was basically "cross to Icardi", which balances things out.

Icardi 29
Perisic 11
Brozovic 4
Skriniar 4

Dybala 22
Higuain 16
Khedira 9
Pjanic 5
Mandzukic 5
Sandro 4
Cuadrado 4
Costa 4
Bernardeschi 4

Higuain had more talent around him at Napoli than Icardi's ever had at Inter.

 

[Palatiga]

Seriously?! People really comparing icardi with that fat fuck!?
