Hopefully we can motivate him though. If we agree that we'll sell him to Cagliari at a loss at the end of the season, provided he has a good season for us...

One more good year, show the world your skills, then you can have your semi-retirement.

I loved seeing him and Vidal come in against Fiorentina - much better than Broz, Gags or Vecino.

The only good thing about seeing Vidal and Nainggolan at the Viola game was the fact that they entered the pitch together, looking like two badasses ready to mess around. Other than that he didnt do anything special on the pitch, in fact he looked out of shape.

I do hope he can be useful for us but I doubt, he’d probably rot at the bench till January.

I m pretty sure dude will leave in jan......
Dude clearly aint motivated to be here and i m pretty sure he ll have some antics sooner rather than later. Conte aint known for taking bs from his players and in jan he ll just want to get rid of him. There be some mid table team that is desperate to save their season and they ll be able to get radja for cheap from us wether it s on loan or a sale remains to be seen, but i would be very surprised if radja ends the season here.

He has tested negative for covid. I doubt he will be ready for Gladbach but he will probably be available against Genoa.

One of those guys you want to see on the pitch and what they can do, but you know that simply he'll be benched.

It's basically reading that a guy who happens to be in Inter by circumstance (unsuccessful move to Cagliari, pushed by himself, Inter and Cagliari but still failed) is recovered from COVID.

Good news for Radja and his health. From a sporting point of view connected to the club where he is being at the moment? Irrelevant.

We'll see, he came on vs fiorintina which I was surprised at. I didn't watch him at cagliari but reports are he was very good?
In his first year here when fit he was our best midfielder. Hopefully he can give us something when needed.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Conte tries him in the AM spot like Spalletti used to.

Hopefully, if both parties are willing to give it a chance. Him and Conte.

Conte has already called upon him to my surprise. Then he had the "sore throat", then covid

You would think if he's fit and ready to go he would be perfect for this system. When I saw Eriksen struggling against Milan I couldn't stop myself from thinking what if Ninja was playing right now and this position? His impact would be much greater, not only because he has more grinta and put more pressure on the Milan players but also with his shot. Now we don't really have midfielders who can score from outside the box while Nainggolan will always be a threat from distance.

Not that it makes a difference given how bad we are, but when I see Nainggolan lately, I get the feeling he's a 45 year old retiree who comes in for the hell of it whenever he makes a sub appearance. He looks out of shape and I he's touched the ball maybe 3 times on average in all of his sub appearances.

Not our biggest problem, but subbing him on just seems.. pointless. It doesn't even feel like he's a part of the team.

because he's not part of the team. Conte treats these guys like garbage. Same as eriksen. :lol:

He should just play his guys til they die. Gags, Vidal, Barella, Brozo (and when sensi is back). Don't even bother with ninja & eriksen.

It was a great mistake to keep him in the team this year. He is not happy and we see it on the field. He is just shit each time he plays.

Agreed. Ofcourse its bound to happen when you bring a player like him on in the 86th minute lol. If Eriksen leaves in Jan, he should stay imo otherwise he should be sold. Given how Eriksen is playing, I would rather see Radja as our AM tbh.

I'd rather keep both and kick Conte out. That's how I feel but sadly it's unrealistic to do it. It makes much more sense to keep going with Conte and with all the negativity that I and many others share I still think it's quite easy to turn things around for us this season. Considering the quality of our players and the depth of the squad, competition being shockingly low and it only being somewhat early in the season. I find it more difficult for Conte to fuck things up than to steer us back on the right path, even the CL is not a lost cause yet and it's perfectly do-able to rebound and get the results needed, if only he gets his head out of his ass just a little bit.
