Rodrigo De Paul

[pazza moratti]

De Paul seems like perfect fit for Spalloball! Can shoot, pass, dribble and can play LW, AMC, RW... he is slow.. but hay so is our playing!

I would also go after Insigne who is propably leaving? He and De Paul would give us what we are currently lacking under Spallo.

Send Icardi to Naples and take Insigne and Hysaj, who both are out of Ancelotti plans and Naples fans would get their new Higuain! Win win for both clubs and players.

If we get Mou then I would keep Perisic and redeem Keita who suit better Mous counter football.

I would be very cautious when extrapolating Illicic's Atalanta form to Inter. Atalanta are a club with a very defined attacking system, which makes its players look much better in the system. As a team they are far greater than the individual sum of parts, as it should be. Similar to Ajax. However, if you buy an individual part of their team, don't expect that player to give you the same output outside of the Atalanta system. Just look at some of biggest talents Atalanta have sold in recent years:

Kessie - 32m
Cristante - 26m
Gigliardini - 24m
Conti - 24m
Caldara - 20m
Bastoni - 31m (though this one is possibly a dodgy enhanced market value deal for FFP)

None of them have really lived up to their reputations or even re-created their Atalanta form. Maybe only Kessie to some extent, but even he is a poor cousin of what he was at Atalanta. Some of them have distinctively looked like fishes out of water in their new team's system. Ilicic is talented, but I suspect the Atalanta system brings the best out of him.

perhaps but he did well at the viola too

out of the list kessie has defo made the grade imo, hes a v good player at milan
conti was great till injury
caldara never played at juve and now injured
bastoni im not sure how getting on at parma tbh

and yeah gags is shit lol

but illic like de oaul would be a good rotation squad player for us imo

What the fuck does Ausilio and co. see in this guy? He's a completely average player on a really shit team.



No thank you.

 

[brehme1989]

He's superior to anyone we have in his position.

 

[Universe]

Thanks for your contribution in securing a valuable point tonight. Thanks to Spalletti too.

 

[nutsncider]

Don’t see anything special tbh

 

[Jnr]

He's superior to anyone we have in his position.

Sadly this is the case for all the Dalberts and Vecinos before we bought them . They were supposed to be better. I tell you what. Our scouts need to be better. Ausilio should be working every June to sell Primavera to sweeten the yearly FFP troubles, after that he needs Bahama or Cuba where theres no internet to send his genious scout reports and let the Sampdoria or whoever capable local dude take over.

 

[vex]

He's superior to anyone we have in his position.

You could have said the same thing with politano last season when we played sassuolo, point is we need to drastically improve our wingers, not just a little bit, because this shit is unbearable.

 

[Palacio]

Don’t see anything special tbh

That's exactly the player Ausilio is after. An average player who no body else wants. And that's why Ausilio should be shown the door.

 

[Nyall]

Wow what great standards you have!


He wouldn't start on any of the teams we played in Europe this year, except for maybe Rapid and wouldn't make their benches either.

I'm gonna be oversimplistic here, and by all means ELI5 if you want because I want a legitimate explanation for this (be it from you, Bluenine, or anyone else here), but I've seen this a lot in recent days and weeks, both on the topic of Atalanta domestically but also Ajax for what they're doing in the CL right now - the idea that their respective attacking systems are propping up the performance levels of their players.

That's being used as an excuse to, not necessarily not pursue certain players (think Ilicic here of Van De Beek in Ajax' case), but to have considerable caution about purchasing them; that they might not perform up to standard elsewhere. To me, when I read this, here's what I'm thinking - I agree that certain players look good in certain systems and not so good in others. But if we're seeing what Atalanta can do on a relative shoe-string budget in Italy, and what Ajax is doing in this year's Champions League, with the systems they're running, and then we subject ourselves to the torture that we're subjecting ourselves to each week watching this gang of shitburgers drop their latest deuce for us to nauseate ourselves with, then maybe the solution could be to seek out a systemic change (obviously, dependent on the new manager) that suits players such as those to, hopefully, keep their performance levels up to par?

I'm honestly spit-balling here. I'm not advocating for either of those two players personally, but "the system ups their performance" just sounds to me like a reason to get a new system of play into this club moreso than to not pursue players from other clubs currently playing systems like that. It just sounds to me like Atalanta and Ajax are ahead of the curve while we're behind it, to be perfectly honest.

He'd also be starting for PSV and Frankfurt for sure. And I'm pretty sure he'd be an important player for Tottenham as well. Which is ironic, because there are reports that they are actually very interested in him

And no one expects De Paul to come at Inter and amaze the world, but I'd much rather have De Paul in the rotation than Keita Balde or Candreva.

Good joke.

Sure they are.. They seem to be the go-to name that the media conveniently brings up.

And no one expects De Paul to come at Inter and amaze the world, but I'd much rather have De Paul in the rotation than Keita Balde or Candreva.

So basically what you're saying you'd rather masturbate with your left hand instead of your right, because you know you're going to be left with shit regardless. Both Candreva and Balde were shit, they played like 25 minutes combined. De Paul played 90 and didn't do shit either. This guy is like the Vecino of wingers.

You're such a hypocrite, earlier today you posted this long list of mediocre wingers, yet here you are advocating for another mediocre winger. We keep signing average players like De Paul, Juve signs quality like Chiesa and think the gap is going to close.

 

[brehme1989]

1) he's not mediocre
2) he's not a winger
3) if you think he didn't do shit against us, check your eyesight. Or at least find out what number he was wearing because he was running circles around our defence more often than not.

 

[Nyall]

1) he's not mediocre

He will be for us.

2) he's not a winger

For his entire career he played on the wing, and only recently started playing more centrally.

3) if you think he didn't do shit against us, check your eyesight. Or at least find out what number he was wearing because he was running circles around our defense more often than not.

Oh great!

Exactly what Inter needs right now. Another guy who runs circles around defenses, with no end product which leads to 0 goals and 0 assists. We will need someone to sub in and contribute nothing once Politano gets tired.

You are delusional! This guy is so mediocre. And yes half of our team is so bad that makes him look good with the ball.

 

[Niarc]

No special about him even looking at yt video(which is usually exagerated), another joao mario i'd say

 

[brehme1989]

It's hilarious that most people here are/were rating Luis Alberto of Lazio but when they see a superior player at a weaker team they are like 'he is mediocre'. What did you expect him to do? Pulla a Baggio and beat every defender twice before overlapping the gk for a goal?

As for Tottenham's interest:
https://www.calciomercato.it/news/3...aniolo_a_de_paul_pochettino_guarda_in_serie_a

Il Tottenham è alla ricerca di giocatori con quelle caratteristiche e continua a monitorare Rodrigo de Paul dell'Udinese

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah it's not like he's mediocre only because he couldn't create a goal. Look who he is playing with. Though not saying De Paul is worth 30m€ but he was best individual in yesterday's match (along with maybe Radja).

 

[brehme1989]

He will be for us.

Logic has failed you.

For his entire career he played on the wing, and only recently started playing more centrally.

No. Just no. Stop making up "factual" shit. He's not a winger.

He's mostly played centrally for Udinese and was mostly used on the right hand side (despite mostly playing on the left side with Racing) of a 4-3-3 until this season where he was mostly slotted to the left if he was in a wide position. But he's mostly been a proper attacking midfielder, wide or not it doesn't matter. He's no winger. He has played in more forward positions than wide positions for Udinese.

You probably also thought Recoba was a winger because Cuper used him there for 10 games.

Oh great!

Exactly what Inter needs right now. Another guy who runs circles around defenses, with no end product which leads to 0 goals and 0 assists. We will need someone to sub in and contribute nothing once Politano gets tired.

Where did you see the "no end product"? I saw him pull off 2 assists last night only for his teammates to fuck things up. For one of them, he went past 2 of our defenders and manage to to create a clear cut chance for Mandragora despite being surrounded by 4 Inter players, only for Handanovic to parry it away.

He may never become a leading trequartista, but he's a type of player we need to have on our team. I'd rather see us getting more De Pauls and less Lukakus.

P.S: De Paul is far better than Politano is.
