Nicola Ventola

[Hammoudi]

I love Ventola to death but no way he is better than Kallon. When they both took us to the serie A summit in that fateful season Kallon had about double Ventola's goals. If we keep Cruz we should loan Ventola to a club where he'll be in the first-team, if we sell Cruz then he is more than welcome to stay.

 

[cool_cuchu]

even without kallon and cruz,

ventola has to stay behind :
Adriano
Vieri
Recoba
Martins

not to mention with so many midfielders, we can manage playing with one striker and very attacking minded midfielders.. once in a while..

I guess the guy has to move on...., but if Cruz or Kallon go away,
and ventola can stay as 5th striker, he is welcomed to stay

with vieri and recoba's fitness, he would probably have much playing time at this club..

 

[Ziyad]

We just have too many players this cant be good...We have to please the players that we wanna keep and still use the ones we got recently,it will be tough especially that Mancini wants to bring his friends like Mihalovic which i will be very disappointed if he wears our jersey. :depress:
Ventola deserves to stay but how much time will he get??!
Loan him again or get rid of two attacker.Not Adriano and Recoba though ofcourse

 

[Marco The Butcher]

Ventola.. , well i think its time to move on. But even if Vieri leaves we will have 4 strikers, so how will he fit..?
Unless we loan Cruz, but i think we should keep Cruz really..

So donno how will we play him.

SIENA - During the build-up to this afternoon's match, Siena forward Nicola Ventola spoke to Inter Channel.

He said: "It's a bit strange to wear these colours... I was used to having a bit of blue."

I'm speechless :depress:

Yeah … it does seems that Ventola really cares of Inter Milan, as that is not the only comments he has made of Inter being a player of another team. He had done it on previous occasions as well. But lets see, what Mancini wants.

Can anyone compare Ventola and Cruz ??

And if Inter decides to keep Ventola, then I would love this one:
Adriano, Recoba, Martins, Kallon, Ventola

I would love us to keep Kallon as well, he's really a good player if he doesn't mind to be benched.

Ventola ??

 

[SB9Dragon]

I rather us keep Cruz than Ventola. Sure Ventola loves the club but Cruz is a better overall striker. I also would rather us keep Kallon who is versatile and can also play on the wings if needed. So overall I hope we sell Vieri and Ventola and just keep these 5.

Adriano
Recoba
Martins
Cruz
Kallon

Actually I would rather us also sell Cruz and buy Chevanton so that we would have this 5

Adriano
Chevanton
Recoba
Martins
Kallon

IMO we should sell Ventola once forever...he will never get starting role in our team and he will never get to play..I would rather have Eliakwu over Ventola..so I say sell him for a good price to Fiorentina for example.

loan him, keep him, or sell him.. whatever..
as long as we only have 5 strikers, that should be fine with me...

Ventola

Ventola must stay in the club. He is a good striker and very Technicule. Toghter with Adriano the would be a very good forwards pare..

Come on, everybody knows that he can`t be in first team

IMO, i think for the mutual benefit of both club and player, we should just sell Ventola. Disregarding the fact that i like Ventola, i am just absolutely disgusted with the way the club has treated him as a player over the last handful of seasons. It is obvious that he was never going to play a part in any of Inter's plans, and only stayed on on Inter's payroll as a backup striker - the club will take him back if they desperately needed one, but otherwise, just loan him out forever.

Ventola was good in the 98/99 season, but after that, he fell to the wayside. And who could blame him? No player is going to get any better by being shipped around all over Serie A; this would not do any player's confidence well, since they are never sure about their future. I know Ventola wants to play with Inter, but being loaned out year after year must be terribly damaging on his morale.

On the club's part, Ventola hasn't lived up to his promise, but that is no reason to at least keep him in the club ranks as a reserve striker. But no, instead of taking him on, the management has decided to buy a myriad of strikers, and this can be seen as an obvious distrust on their part to give any form of responsibility on Ventola's shoulders. Once again, he has been snubbed in favor of new signings. What then can Ventola do in order to gain any respect from the management's point of view?

Thus, the club should do Ventola a favor, and cut him loose. That way, he is free to forge his own destiny with another club, one that can guarantee him first team football. I am pretty sure that being secure in his role at a club, Ventola will be able to flourish better than he has been.

Ventola deserves to stay. Cruz must and will have to go. Ventola deserves the championship medal we are going to receive this season for all that he has been through. For me, Chevanton would be for the future. And Martins + Eliakwu will come into effect only in 2 years. For now, we should Play with 4 strikers vying for the starting place, ie, Chino, Adi, Bobo and Ventola. Kallon should also be loaned out to Fiorentina

 

[Mr Burdisso]

Ventola must stay. He was very good last season in Siena. Kallon i hope Inter loan him out to a team. Maybe Fiorentina can have him in one season also maybe Lazio... I hope to that Cruz sells to another club he is not so good for playing in our team.

Welcome Davids

I disagree that Martins is a striker to be seriously considered only in 2 years or so. If last season was any indication, Martins is ready to step up and be a first choice striker for this club. I am one of those people whose opinion that experience matters is quite frankly, not that important. What is most important is the raw talent that is present in a player, and Martins exhibits such talent quite well. Moreover, he is 20 this year and is already of the right age to begin what will be a long and illustrious career.

Looking at the roster of strikers, it is unfortunate to note that some of them clearly have to leave. Cruz is a good player on his day, but unfortunately, he shouldn't be treated as a bench player, and neither should Kallon or Ventola. IMO, all 3 of them should leave the club permanently, in order to find better pastures for them to continue their careers. Ventola and Kallon fortunately, still have several years ahead of them; they are still able to bring their play to a higher level.

I'm on Tim's side here. Martins has improved tremendously over the last 2 seasons and he should be ready to shoulder an even important role next year. Perhaps he's not ready to be a starter or the spear-head of our attack but he definitely looks ready and raring to go.

Though I won't be surprised if his career is halted by someone Inter can still buy. :rollani: Choutos or Churros or whatever his name is.


Hand:frustrat:yo

 

[Sisenando]

I don't think Martins can play with the consistency that is required of him if we rely on him too much for now.If he starts 40 games, i don't think he can take the pressure. He's a bench player for now and is best when substituted on because of his ability to "explode". However, if you say Martins deserve a place more than Adi or Chino (Either of which will have to be left out), I don't think i can agree there. And Choutos is just a gamble.If he becomes Charisteas, good for us.Otherwise, i see aa good partnership in Choutos + Eliakwu in the Primavera team

 

[Handoyo]

All I'm saying is that he deserves a more important role than last season. I even said that he may not be ready for the first team yet. But, who knows??? If in the early going Martins has already started to impress and shows no sign of slowing down, I'll keep using him.

Nobody's asking of him to start 40 games. All i'm saying is that Martins should be more than capable of starting games with good frequency this coming season. I don't agree though, with the notion that he is a bench player. He has a lot to offer to the team, and frankly, i think it is time we discard big names and actually go with a strikeforce that we feel works. Instead of hoping for 2 big names to come together and start working miraculously, we should be more practical, and go for efficiency.

The problem here, is that there are way too many strikers. The fact that you compared Martins with Adriano and Chino, and not Vieri just tells me that you are going to include Vieri in the starting lineup anyway. How is that fair? Adriano, Vieri, Martins and Recoba all contributed to whatever gols we managed to come up with last season - so why is it that you excluded Vieri from being challenged for a first team spot, and instead, simply put Martins, Adriano and Recoba to fight for the last spot on the team? IMO, all 4 of them have an equal chance to challenge for the 2 striker positions, and it is up to Mancini to see who truly deserves those places. We should practice meritocracy and based on that system, Vieri has a lot to worry about.

First aand foremost, i think there's a misunderstanding here. I never mentioned Bobo cos' i know he will be benched for most of this coming season, whether i like it or not :depress: . What i'm trying to say is YES, Martins can challenge for the first team spot. But to rely on him for the majority of our goals will be too much for him, IMO.We have to work on our best partnership, ie ADI-CHINO. If we start these two for most of our games, then i believe we can finally get one level up. Bobo will be chipping in here and there but i believe Mancini will work with Adi-Chino. I'm therefore saying Bobo and Martins should be benched cos of their immaturiy and style of play respectively. Because of the fact that Adi-Bobo was mediocre last season, either one will definitely be benched..
