Ricardo Alvarez

I bet if they had Ricky they would have more than 5 points

Ricky alvarez, less than 50 games at pro level in the argie league.

About same price as Vidal, a proven player. Roma bought Lamele, a far superiour talent for roughly the same price? A.Madrid got Diego ON LOAN. Inter got Alvarez, the big signing, its a disgrace, not because it was the most expensive player we bought, but because a club that won a treble 2 years ago settle for a player who is 23 and havent even played 50 games at pro level in the argie league.... Seriously??? Wtf is going on, how can a club like inter, that should aim to compete nationwise and international every season even think about buying such a player?

Azzkikr was ahead of his time. Gone too soon.

You have to be blind not to notice that signing Ricky was a huge mistake.

Lamela was way more expensive.

But I knew from Alvarez's first friendly that he'd be a dud.

 

[Harpsabu]

Lol anyone remember the period that he was our best player, it was a stretch of games we relied on him. Fucking dark times.

 

[Sassuolu]

I think Ranieri brought out some decent performances from him, I can recall a game against Parma.

 

[ADRossi]

Him and Guarin together lit the footballing world on fire

 

[KevinB]

Never forget Senpai Jonachan as well

 

[ScottishInterista]

It was the first 10 games under WM, then he was figured out

Too bad. That was only Alvarez, imagine how will he react to the more recent signings, aka Schelotto, Kuz, Mudingyai, etc.

 

[M.Adnan]

You have to be blind not to notice that signing Ricky was a huge mistake.

I can guarantee that some people would still justify deals like that (same mentality of those who can keep on justifying Mancini's atrocities).

How does this have anything to do with mancini, ultimately Mancini's buys have for the most part been successful and if not they have been shipped off and not had money wasted on them

 

[M.Adnan]

What you've just said has nothing to do with what I've said. Meh just forget it.

 

[Wings]

Ricky was also our best player for a stretch of games under Strama. I remember him scoring in a few matches (as well as missing a penalty).

Sunderland and Inter Milan face anxious wait for decision over Ricky Alvarez

Sunderland and Inter Milan face an anxious wait to discover their fate over the Ricky Alvarez saga.

The Black Cats were initially expecting to find out in March whether they will be forced to shell out more than £8million for a player they do not own.

But the decision has been put back, with both clubs facing a further wait to find out their fate.

Sunderland have been at loggerheads with Inter Milan for more than a year over the Argentina international, who headed for the Stadium of Light on loan in August 2014 with a view to completing a permanent transfer which was to be triggered if they retained their Premier League status.

However, Alvarez’s stay on Wearside was blighted by injury and despite fending off relegation under Dick Advocaat, they pulled the plug on the proposed deal, sparking a lengthy wrangle which resulted in a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing in Lausanne last December.

Should the decision go against Sunderland, they would face a 10million euro bill – around £8.4million – for a player who started just five Premier League games across his 17 appearances for the club.

It is understood the club has budgeted for such a scenario, but it would still be a significant blow given Sunderland are £110million in debt and posted a £33million loss for the year up to July 2016.

Sunderland’s argument is that Inter’s hesitation in sanctioning knee surgery for the player justified their decision not to honour the contract.

The 29-year-old was left without a club with neither Inter nor Sunderland requiring his services, and was eventually given special dispensation to join Sampdoria on loan in January last year before completing a permanent move as a free agent. This season he has made 21 appearances scoring two goals.

Bring him back, put him as RW.

 

[ScottishInterista]

I thought this was done with and we had got the money. This was done when 8 million meant something

 

[CoolMan44]

This shit is still not over?

 

[abuali]

GDS report that it's over, we should get 10.5 mln from sunderland and they say the money already budgeted
