Amazing performance tonight... 3 assist so far until 60'

Worth checking out, he knows exactly when to pass the ball and how. While we have to watch Vecino fuck up play :palm:

At 0:10 you can here the crowd screaming: "Tira, Tira!" ("Shoot! Shoot!"):

Don`t know about you guys, but I would love to have him in OUR squad. :unsure:

Translation: (Giuseppe Marotta, red.) never told me to leave Inter, untill I had to come to his office after the summerbreak. He told me they were going to make different choices. It's a pitty because I would have loved to work with Conte.

I have only worked with Conte for a month but felt the progression we made in that short period of time to be very promising. Conte was very clear and the appreciation was mutual. During preparation Conte told me in a personal conversation he was a long time admirer of mine and wanted to bring me to Chelsea. Me leaving Inter was the decision of the Inter management and Conte stood by it.

According to brehme Nainggolan is full of shit. Conte didn't stand by it. He just nodded his head.

So he wanted to stay and the coach wanted him, but we've decided to keep instead Gagliardini, Vecino and Valero? and we complain why we're screwed with Sensi's injury?

I don't get it why some of you don't want to understand this.
N9 and ICardi were not sent away because we judged that they were less valuable then the others players we had in our roster.
THey were sent away because they were judged as a liability for the togetherness of our group and discipline among our ranks.

Now you may like this or not it's up to you. But stop making this stupid comparisons on technical level between Icardi and Lukaku or N9 and Vecino/Gaglia as it's going on for too much time in this forum ffs.

Where did I say anything different from what Nainggolan said?

There is another theory. Marotta, the Juve's rat sent them away to destroy Inter. He even wanted to gift Icardi to jube for peanuts. He aslo brought up Conte, which task is to weaken the club with his huge salary.

Icardi, Perisic... I can understand their non-football reasons, Ninja was not in that mess. He simply lacked motivation.

Conte is one of the strictest coach. Maybe Marotta knew there would be too hard collision if these players remained. Marotta knows how Conte reacts in certain situations. There is zero percent chance that Wanda would have remaind silent and Nainggolan would have obeyed all the rules for whole season.

Fabrizio Romano:

Exclusive: No Inter return for resurgent Nainggolan

The Ninja is back!

After resuming with Cagliari, he is winning his challenge and enjoying a heroic string of performances and is enchanted in Sardinia.

His resurgence to form has led Inter fans to wonder whether or not it was right to loan out the Belgium player just one year after purchasing from Rome.

And yet, the question about a possible return of Radja? The answer is clear:

The Nerazzurri leadership does not regret its choice, Nainggolan is not set for a return in January, both in respect of the agreements with Giulini, but above all because both parties have taken a different path.

THE DECISION -

Inter as a club even before Antonio Conte arrived, then with his final approval, decided to change the behavioral and technical stigma of the players and club as a whole.

This is why Radja is not considered a regret, but there was the total conviction that he could do well in Cagliari. As a result, roads were divided for the good of all, with plans that he will return to the Nerazzurri in June and save face on his market value.

Nainggolan for his part felt he was unloaded and is taking a revenge he was very keen on, but he knows that Inter now considers him a player of the past. Although it is impossible to predict the future, the Nerazzuri and the Ninja have never been further away.

If it’s really a move to get rid of troublemakers then I understand it. These players are not kids and the clubs isn’t here to babysit. Yes, it hurts seems our players shine somewhere else on loan but if it’s really for the good of the club and we keep implementing it regularly in the future then I don’t mind it.

I just don’t want us to go through the pain of seeing our players shine elsewhere and then we change our policy back next summer.

If we are good enough..
Then we can care less if the sold players shine anywhere else.

I suspect inter management also plan to buy somebody bigger than radja, perisic or icardi in the summer

Really curious to see where we can dump him next summer. Roma would be the optimal outcome, but it seems unlikely given their refusal to sign anyone over 26.

If Cagliari defy all odds and qualify for Europe, perhaps they would support a paid loan. Beyond that, I see no feasible options. I doubt he wants to leave Italy given his wife's health.

Maybe we can swap him (with cash) to some of their players? Nandez was already rumored but that was most probably just a reporter counting 1+1 to make up a story.

Yeah bringing Nandez seems like the most logical way to unblock Radja to Cagliari.

Shame Juventus own Pellegrini now, otherwise us and Roma could have done some more book cooking with Radja as the main ingredient.

Do they have any other good young stars like barella? We might be able to use 9gag to reduce his fee

I want him back in January.

Having watched more than half of Cagliari's matches this season, he doesn't look like a player that's anywhere close to being finished. Not only does he score the occasional wondergoal - and they are a nice bonus - but more importantly, he runs his ass off, helps the defence with his tracking back, tidies up nicely, goes into every physical duel like it's his last, and his long passing is smooth as ever.
Just like we knew he was capable, and just like he did did prove at times (albeit not enough) for us. He looks renewed and seems like he wants to prove that he isn't finished.

I know there has been a lot of focus put on on the merits of a united locker room, but it never seemed to me, like Nainggolan was playing any particular part in dividing said locker room. Yes, the clubbing and smoking part wasn't exceptionally well-timed, but really nothing that had any effect on his level of play. Who knows? - let's hope this situation with his wife - as horrible as it is - has given him renewed focus and strength.

He has publicly stated that he doesn't hold any grudges towards Inter, that he would've liked to work under Conte, and that he still wants to prove that he belongs here. Likewise, Conte has stated that it wasn't his decision to send him away, and (correct me if I'm wrong) would've also liked to work with Radja.
It's simply a no-brainer, and I hope Marotta isn't too proud to see that, just maybe sending out one of our better midfielders for little gain wasn't exactly the smartest thing in the world.
With our injury crisis and depth problems, if there's any way to work out a deal with Cagliari (retroactively pay more of his wage to get them off their books, maybe loan out a DiMarco or something) to get him back in the transfer window, it's a no-brainer. He has a contract with us until 2022, and it makes more sense for us to have him be available - even as a squad player - than it does for us to see him run around on Sardinia, being their best or second-best player.

I'm not saying he should come back here to take the starting spot of Barella or Sensi, but we need all the depth we can get, and we have (whether we qualify for CHL or EL) all the matches we can handle and plenty of minutes to go around. Also, we could finally have the depth needed to get rid of deadwood like one of Vecino or Gagliardini for that sweet, sweet FFP-money + we get a better player in their spot without saving transfer fees and wages for a dud like Matic or a Kulusevski who doesn't seem like a midfielder and could just be someone having his fifteen minutes of fame. At worst, he'd be replacing Borja who looks certain to leave come winter.

And we already own him.

Not happening. Stranger things have happened but if I know Marotta, then Nainggolan, Perisic and Icardi will never play in an Inter shirt again. In theory, having this current Cagliari Nainggolan in our squad would be wonderful. In reality, the best we can hope for is some kind of gentlemen’s agreement with Cagliari to have first option on Nandez.
