Skriniar was bad in the first season under Conte and was average in the second season of Spalletti. He was good to great in the other seasons but never truly returned to to his form in his first year here. He was also prone to having a really terrible game once in a while.

His ugly departure should not obscure the fact that he was our best defender after the treble era (maybe Pavard now, but let's wait for a while). He was perhaps the best defender in the league when he was in the 4-men defence. Then he regressed when he was deployed at the RCB, who would have thought a slow 188 cm defender would struggle playing wide against pacy winger right? He did okay at the second season, but still below his peak season under Spallo. In short, he was very instrumental for us and he didn't complain when he didn't play at his best position. Whether you agree or disagree with his exit, nobody should slander him as a bad defender.

We all knew he was going to be exposed for his shortcomings at PSG. Especially when there is no coverage at all from midfield and they have to stand high on the field. They played with 4 attackers yesterday so there was no midfield to cover the defense.

What I found much more striking about him was that he was physically defeated and that is not something that often happened to him with us. If he can play to his strengths things will get better, but for now it seems like he is a different Skriniar than the one we have seen.

Still the best defender we've had after the treble.

What the fuck is going with him when defending in the box? He turned into 2022-23 De Vrij at PSG

What we’re seeing with Inter players that have left the club is that the most important thing for the success of a player is the condition of the club they’re playing in and the system. We should be well aware of that already as Inter fans who lived through the banter era where almost every signing was a flop. It’s never 100% up to the player.

Škriniar? Sí, sentí mucha decepción. Porque cuando un jugador no renueva, no está yendo en contra de la cúpula dirigencial o del presidente, sino que va en contra de la historia y el valor del club. Škriniar ha infligido un gran daño al Inter. Pudo haber renovado, le hemos propuesto tantas soluciones, inclusive una en la cual se le permitía tener una cláusula de rescisión... Pero siempre respondió que no".

Marotta.





Imo Skrinair case is by far worst han Icardi or Lakaka. His betrayal is above everyone else as he did leave for free just to get more money from PSG.
I hope we see PSG soon to see Lautaro and Thuram making him the slow bitch clown he is.

I mean it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened. PSG told Skriniar we’ll get on you on a free and give you “x” signing bonus. Only way scenario that was going to happen was if he told us he’s going to renew cos we never would otherwise let him walk away.

Marotta is completely right his case is way worse than anything Lukaku or Icardi done. Grade A cunt

Do you think Bastoni, Lautaro or Barella didn't have offers as good as that PSG one to Skriniar? they are even better players so probably had, but said no, that's the difference between a franchise player and a fucking mercenary clown such as Skriniar. Thread should be moved to Flamers paradise.

How many times have we tried to sell Bastoni, Lautaro and Barella compared to Skriniar? You can't just take one side of the story into consideration.

Marotta is ignoring that his own actions caused the consequences here.

But he could've told that he wanted to leave, but he didn't. He played the club. Its his right to do what he wants, but in my eyes it's not very honourable behavior.

Skriniar kept his mouth close, because he only cares about the money. These kind of actions define people in my eyes.

Or the management should have taken the hint that "he always said no".

I don’t see any issue legally, both sides sought for their best benefits. It didn’t cross over each other so he parted away. Keyword from translation is “acted”, so he didn’t promise or pre-sign anything with Inter therefore he didn’t break anything. He’s gone, moving on, we’ve already discussed about this situation, management also deserves blame on it, not only him.

Doesn't matter what Marotta says. It was a massive mistake to lose him on a free. Either you make him pen an extension or you threaten to freeze him out. This isn't some unique situation no club has ever faced before.

After a bit of time has passed on the Skriniar situation I feel much less fond of him than I did before. I respect his stint here but as big of clowns as we were in the Skriniar situation, Skriniar acted more dishonestly imo. Not that anyone here knows the whole truth but I'm going to choose to believe our management over Skriniar in this instance. He could have, at any point, told us that he had decided to leave or wanted to leave; he did not and it cost us. I get Skriniar has to look out for himself first and foremost and our management doesn't tend to handle contract situations well, but he should show a bit more respect to the club who really launched his career in the international eye and whose fanbase treated him like a king and wanted him to be the captain. IRC he even waited after the January window to state he wouldn't renew (but I could be wrong about this). Definitely not someone who should have ever worn the armband for a second last year, knowing what his intentions were.

Again, I respect Skriniar's on-the-field contributions and I respect his decision to leave the club, but I'd be lying if I wasn't salty about how he chose to exit.

How many times really? Everyone is well aware that considering Inter current financial situation, everybody is on the market. If an offer arrives, it's up to the player to accept or refused. Marotta obviously accepted PSG bid, most probably Skriniar as well. Zhang blocked the move,. because he believed that Skriniar would have renewed. After that Skirniar played friendly in order to get the fat bonus from PSG. The fault is mainly on Zhang. Skriniar only acted that he is ok with staying, and will pen a new deal. It was deceiving tactics, which worked but as I've already said it was Zhang's fault to fall so cheap in that trap.

How exactly? There was an interest by PSG, he conducted negotiations and agreed the transfer fee. I haven't read even single report claiming that Skriniar was forced out, or something similar.

Skriniar is so irrelevant now because we have a better player in his place.

It was a massive corporate fuckup to let him walk for free but no one can do anything about that anymore. Hopefully someone learnt something from that episode.

Do you guys actually hate a player this much or just keeping a persona on the internet? I mean if you see Skriniar on the streets, do you make a bull sound and head march toward him to save mankind from this 'evil' guy?
