Milan Škriniar

[.h.]

Godin's merged into it now. Sanchez has been okay in it - I think he'll be good against weaker sides in this formation tbh. Agreed it doesnt help Eriksen yet, and I think we need to look at that.

If you picked the top 5 potential players at Inter right now, you'd probably say Barella, Bastoni, Skriniar, Lautaro and maybe Hakimi? Helping most of those guys hit their potential is worth it.

I don't get how 1v1 is a weakness for him. From what I recall Skriniar was a beast specially in situations like that because his tackling skills and timings were on point. Skriniar also got good dribbling and passing skills. He is just out of form in my opinion. I honestly can see us regretting selling him.

Yet it doesn't help Eriksen, Sanchez, Skriniar and Godin who on paper are amongst our top players. So something definitely needs to be looked at, otherwise you're driving the team's potential down.

Sanchez emerged in udine in 352 formation, so this one is actually perfect for him in support striker role. He is neighter striker, nor attacking midfielder so SS is ideal.

You have a point with Skriniar and Eriksen obviously. With others you do not.

Sanchez played one of his 3 Udinese seasons in a 3-5-2. The rest were 4-3-3. Barcelona 4-3-3. Arsenal 4-2-3-1.

Sure, he can adapt, but his strengths come from playing wider.

You missed Godin.

 

[Luka]

Godin a little less than others but he is much better centraly indeed.

As to Sanchez, his breakout season was his last in udinese when they played 352. I think that was no accident.

Maybe Conte should shift Skriniar's and De Vrij's positions considering the adaptedness of Stefan in the formation, but we then sacrifice his build up play

No way we should sacrifice the best defender in Italy. Skriniar is amazing, but De Vrij's ball distribution is one of the best in the world for a defender.

De Vrij can't play as RCB. He has 1 position and its CCB in 3-5-2. He sucks on everyother position there is in everyother formation. Since this is Conte's favorite formation there is no chance in hell he would adapt for Skriniar.

 

[Black Knight]

De Vrij's ball distribution is one of the best in the world for a defender.

I'd argue it's not even the best in the team. Bastoni's long balls have impressed me more than De Vrij's.

Not to take away anything from Stefan, of course. He's been immense this season.

I am gonna hate if we sell Skriniar, but if we swap him for fucking Ndombele I am gonna hate even more

According to FCIN, contacts continue between all parties to work on an exchange between Tottenham and Inter for Milan Skriniar and Tanguy Ndombele. The Slovakian has a great admirer in Jose Mourinho to replace Jan Vertonghen who is on his way to Benfica.

Skriniar would like to stay in Milan but looking at the lineups of the past few matches, it is clear that Antonio Conte does not consider him as an essential part of the team. Throughout the season, Skriniar has found himself struggling to play in a back three and his status has become “expendable.”

Next week, Tottenham will make an offer to the defender with the hope of convincing him to accept the transfer. That offer should be a lot higher than the €4M that he’s currently earning at Inter. The following step would be meeting with Inter to reach agreement on the evaluation of both players.

But talks are back and forth between London and Milan, waiting for Skriniar to accept the move.

I`m with Luka on this, as much as I like Skriniar. He seems to show signs of a player that is content with his achievements, I don`t see his hunger any more. Might be the balkan mentality "I`m doing good enough, I can enjoy life a bit" or might be something to do with his lifestyle, because he is not up to his previous levels, let alone further progress.

Sending out the wrong message? What are you guys talking about? The message is clear: nobody is untouchable. If you don`t work hard to keep performing at the highest level, you will eventually get replaced. So heads down and do the job you`re getting overpayed for!

We are finally ran by a professional and competent mangagement team, let`s not leave our emotions work against us. If some of you guys really care for Skriniar - his own interest is to regularly play and keep developing, instead of eating bench while watching Kumbulla... You never know what the future holds, he might be back (on a discount?) at some point if we really do let him go.

 

[Javier'sSon]

It hurts.

 

[Inter7]

This is also the reason we let a lot of superstars go, some players need a bit of time to understand tactics and develope tactically. This is skriniar first season learning the back 3

 

[brehme1989]

1) Skriniar is not Balkan. Dude, you're Romanian, you're kind of a Balkanite, how can you not know this?
2) What hunger are you not seeing? He still feels like the most passionate player after D'Ambrosio.
3) The message you are talking about is silly. It's not a matter of untouchables. It is a matter of respect and loyalty. Inter is a club, it's not a mercenary camp. People like Skriniar are what makes this organization tick and makes the fans cheer for them.
4) Ndombele is just not worth it.

Change in formation and majority of FIF has turned on this man. Some players play 15 bad games and 1 good ones and the whole forum stands behind him. I told myself I wouldn't put my heart down into discussions about Skriniar but I've slipped in sometimes. How can't people see that this is the example of a man that should lead Inter. He practically followed Zanetti's example of "I would play for free for Inter" and fired his agent while most people in his age is money-hungry maniacs.

They've even started to make up things like he isn't hungry anymore? Wth

 

[Lui]

Thank you for your service Skri. You'll enjoy beating the shit out of forwards in England, and wont have to worry about containing wingers at the halfway line.

I completely agree but if Conte stays for at least two more seasons, Skriniar will be wasted on the bench. He deserves more than being a rotation player at best, at this moment of his career.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Skriniar is just fine. I bet if we didn't have to sell anyone (to finance our moves) we wouldn't sell Skriniar. Conte would surely like to have Skriniar as the first bench option to defence instead of anyone else we have currently or will have after Skriniar sale.

I understand Marotta's logic in making money out of a current bench player and swap him to Tonali + Kumbulla. Unless we get Ndombele back which kind of nullifies the plusvalenza generation.

Anyway it's going to be a yet another forced sale, however this time there isn't even a slight behaviour thing behind it, quite contrary. A true interista will be sold. That's what hurts.

 

[K.I.]

Will be interesting to see what happens when Godin, D'Ambrosio or De Vrij run into a patch of bad form or when Godin gets older and starts getting worse. Skriniar is arguably the best defender in the club yet he is the one on the bench. Good Logic though.

 

[Shark]

I still stand by my post below. It's insane to trade a future captain for Ndombele because he struggled with a task that would otherwise be assigned to a full back. Fuck the 352 and fuck Conte if this goes through.

Skriniar is untouchable in my book. Conte will be gone in a year or two and we'll be stuck with the bum who will supposedly replace Skriniar.
