Once again, Perisic had nothing to do with all that. Marotta did not rule Perisic out. Conte did.

Don't know about that - he was unhappy and stirred shit up. I know what the official version was but he could be useful as a wing-back, if Candreva can do it... He either was causing us some problems in the dressing room, wasn't happy to be playing as a wing-back or indeed he wasn't deemed "good enough" by Conte, but I think most likely it was down to his unwillingness to sacrifice playing in an off position and partly because he was an ass.

Pretty confident that half of our players also smoke. Maybe slightly more or less, it applies to most teams. Many of them smoke, it's not uncommon. It's just not really the best idea.

Alcohol consumption still exists but not excessive. These are 20 year old kids with loads of money don't forget. Their lifestyle doesn't vary THAT much from the average guy except that they can do more shit and sometimes have to be held accountable for that since they do more regular health checks than almost everyone. Not doing it subtly is where Nainggolan excels at.

With a statement like that the onus is more on you to prove it than anyone else to disprove it.

If the definition of a smoker is someone who smokes at least 1 cigarette per day, then I'd be surprised if even 3 guys in our squad did that. Most likely Berni, Brozovic and probs Valero. Dimarco kinda looks the type too. Sensi said he used to smoke, but hasn't for years.

Social smoking on a night out at the club is one thing, but I have a very hard time believing a significant portion of modern footballers (in top leagues) smoke regularly. In the 'developed' countries the rate of smokers has been steadily decreasing for decades. The general awareness of the health impacts, the increasing role of sports science from a young age, the increase in professionalism of youth football, the massive advertising/sponsorship deals, the whole social media scrutiny.. these are big factors that work against footballers smoking.

Squad depth < Squad quality < Squad professionalism, in our case. We sacrificed quality and depth for dedication and professionalism.

That's all good and fine and was one of the main reasons I was against Nainggolan at Inter from the beginning. But you don't get a expensive midfielder and then send him away for free after one season AND pay most of his salary when you don't have enough squad depth. Moves like this are like break blocks for our development.

:lol:

Please explain why you suspect this four guys.

Berni is a Renaissance Man. A man of culture. I suspect he partakes in all of life’s decadent pleasures. Also what else is he going to do. It’s not like he ever plays.

Brozovic is a pub rat. He loves frozen pizza and watching professional darts. Presumably someone like that also likes beer, cigarettes and slot machines, much like all of the Australian FIF members.

Valero probably not tbh. Too much of a clean skin, dad type. Maybe I’m just reaching in an attempt to explain his ludicrously poor gas tank for a lifelong professional athlete.

Dimarco is a bit of a bro. https://www.instagram.com/p/B389Da8IUSw/

I doubt he wants to come back. Maybe if Roma wants him back we can arrange a deal. He has every right to hold a grudge against our management.

Amazing today BUT his time at the highest level has gone IMO he had his chance and he didn't take it. That's on him. We're fine without him.

Slower tempo and not being so much into spotlight probably serves him well.

He got his selfconfidence back. Radja is great midfielder but his slowing pace prevent him being one of the greats at Inter shirt also.

Radja in wheelchairs can go faster from Gagliardini. His unprofessional behavior is his biggest issue.

I can’t understand what is so special about a mostly immobile player. Is it being used to the likes of Valero?

And vecino and gagliardini.as much as you hate him, you cant tell us with a straight face that you prefer these 3 retards over him. Keep in mind we are still paying half his salary. Our management is shit.

Why would the comparison be between 9g and these two largely useless players?

Because we opted to loan him out for stupid reason whilst keeping these 2 useless players.

This is crazy, has he switched to vaping or something? I thought footballers couldn't smoke cigarettes and play well?
