Mauro Icardi

[brakbrak]

Chill,it was a sarcasm because at some point there was a discussion about it and a number of FIFers who suggested that Morata could provide more to the buildup play

 

[Sassuolu]

Well Gabbiadini was better a few years ago.

 

[Harpsabu]

Well Gabbiadini was better a few years ago.

imagine we were actually considering swapping him for him and 60m, thank fuck that didn't happen

 

[qb4ever_2k]

Ah Gabbiandini, a name I havent heard of for a long time, one of those players who had one decent season and FIF's scholars thought they were better than Icardi. Ultimately failed to sustain his level of performance just like Destro, Belotti, Morata, Bacca, Higuain.... and even Dybala.

 

[Sassuolu]

Wouldn't put Dybala and Morata in the bracked since they're both at big clubs and Belotti has been plagued by injuries by I get your point.

 

[n4l]

Belotti is waaaay overrated in all honesty. Just another Zaza.

Higuain is proven top level striker though. I won't put him in the class of gabbiadini, destro and belotti type players.

Higuain?

You mean the guy that has scored 153 goals in 261 matches over 6 seasons for his different Italian clubs?

Higuain has scored 116 Serie A goals since he arrived in the 2013/14 season. Icardi arrived here at the same season and his goal tally for us is 106 in Serie A. I smell trolling.

 

[Balor]

Not sure I understand Dybala being included in that either, he's been one of the most consistent players in Serie A the last four seasons, he's made a slow start this season but I'd argue the always pass to Ronaldo tactic might also affect him there.

Hes anything but consistent. He goes on 4-5 game runs then 10 games without scoring

 

[Pimpin]

Mauro Icardi's last four Serie A games by numbers:

87 touches
58 passes
14 shots
8 shots on target
7 chances created
6 goals

On top of his game. ��️


7 chances created nice

Belotti was bossing the league until he got a serious injury which let him out for some time, and once he came back he picked up another injury therefore it would be harsh to judge him right after him coming back and trying to get himself into the top form. He was a monster while he was having a good form though, always hungry to score, a serious threat to any opponent and was physically a beast.

He's certainly a few levels above Zaza me thinks. Such a shame that injuries had to cut his continuity otherwise we would see him in any top club of Europe by now.

I agree in your point regarding Higuain though. People tend to trash talk on him and call him useless and everything but dude was crucial for both Napoli and Juve as well, big time. Not sure if I can say that he was an important player for Real Madrid, but definitely he was useful player for them as well. Its criminal putting him in the same sentence with Destros, Gabbiadinis and other Italian rubbish forwarders.

Think you are being harsh on Belotti.

Gabriel Batistuta

The Fiorentina legend is in Italy to promote his new film ‘The Number 9’, and he was asked about Icardi and Higuain, the Argentinian stars of Inter and Milan respectively.

“For Argentina it’s a battle between Icardi and Higuain,” Batistuta explaied at the event.

“Mauro has more chance because he’s young. I like him a lot, you don’t see him much in the match but he always scores.

“Inter fans must be happy to have him on their team.”

Another battle on a more global scale is Lionel Messi of Barcelona and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo…

“If I could I’d have both! If I have to choose, I pick Messi. Just because he’s Argentine!

“Seriously though, Cristiano is really strong but they’re different. Messi is more involved in the play. It’s hard to compare them.

“Ronaldo has a different personality and mentality, people like him will never stop. He’ll want to score for as long as he can.”

Batigol is an Argentina legend, but today is the 58th birthday of the country’s greatest sporting hero, Diego Maradona.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to play with him much. I don’t know if I came too late or he came too soon, but I cherish the games I did play with him.

The legend has spoken

Form is temporary but class is permanent

Is not like any other top striker didnt get serious injury or anything, but they find their form as quickly as they get. Problem with Bellotti is people hyping him like so fast and how italian club can be so much greedy, they should sell him as high as when they can. But then even if he really moving out from Torino to some bigger club he probably would just end up like Immobile, crumble on his first time moving to big club because he still not matured yet. Now the current Immobile is better player than the one from Torino or Dortmund. I bet Immobile will get better chances this time if try to moving outside italy again. Same goes with Bellotti, idk how long he gonna find his form back but at that time he probably already become more mature player and ready for big club.

 

[CoolMan44]

Mostly happy to see him score a double in a big away match - he did the same vs. Roma last season. Now, only for him to start scoring against Napoli..

Goals vs. the 'big five':

Juventus: 8 (5 for Inter)
Milan: 5
Roma: 4
Lazio: 7
Napoli: 2

Ronaldo was never the player he was in the past after his injuries, it's hard to come back when it's serious.

 

[Provenzano]

Icardi shots in serie a for his 6 goals ️️️️️️

Cristiano shots in serie a for his 7 goals ️️️️️️️

 

[PHM1605]

That stats isn’t correct. You are comparing oranges (number of shots on target) and apples (total number of shots).

 

[Wobblz]

Still... I'm too lazy to count total shots / goals but CR has probably three or four times the shots Mauro has.
