Samir Handanovic

[MANTA]

WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT IS JC GETTING?

Have I missed something?

Mid-season, most of us, even people like n4l considered JC to be over. We need to replace him. How the fuck do you guys not know if JC was told in February that we would be looking for an alternative.

Do you really think he heard it through the media?

The only report I heard was that JC was informed months ago that we were trying to get Handanovic so he could be traded. He probably wasn't ok with it, but I haven't heard any report saying he learned from Handanovic from the media.

Sneijder was told last season that because of financial trouble, if a huge offer for him arrives he would be sold. He admitted as much. So I expect they at least extended the same courtesy of a heads up to JC. I am sure he wasn't ok with it, and wanted to stay, but I don't think he was misinformed about the club's intention.

To all people who say Handanovic transfer is no good because he's not used to playing at "such a high level";

Are you all fucking retards? HE WILL BE PLAYING THE SAME COMPETITIONS NOW AS HE WAS AT UDINESE! Serie A, Coppa Italia, Europa League. He played them ALL last season, and has played the first two many times in the past. Saying he lacks experience at a top level because of the team he played for is stupid, it's like saying a BMW will always be faster than a Nissan GTR just because one has a more well known brand. Well guess what, GT-R is the far better car. Just like Handanovic is a great Serie A keeper, not because of what team he played for, just because's HE'S A GOOD GOALKEEPER. It has nothing to do with his former club! And the pressure is BS, all players are under pressure at every club they go to because of the expectations of the supporters, regardless of the profile of the club. If Julione needed to be replaced, then Handa was absolutely the correct choice.

He is the best goalkeeper east of Italy, end of. Probably on the cusp of a Top 10 GKs in the world list.

I don't see why there are negative posts about this pickup.

the mistake is to assume that the 'high level' (at least so far as I have commented in my posts, i cant speak for others) is that that has anything to do with the competitions, but rather, his capabilities.

East of Italy?

What about Cech, Akinfeev for two obvious competitors?

I believe at this particular juncture he is marginally better than both. But I stress, marginally. Cech has declined, Akinfeev's form has dipped a bit lately...the heirarchy may change again with time, but for now I'm calling it like I see it.

Agree with snake, been saying for a season now that Cesar's time as a top goalie is done. You got to be blind if you haven't noticed how his error frequency has shot up.

 

[Pajo]

This transfer kinda reminds me on Buffon at JuBe, when they had VDS.

JuBe fans were whining for letting great GK in VDS go, while they overpay for good GK, but not proven enough, or not better than VDS. They were caliming that GK is the last they should improve.

We all know how that turned out. blivious:

Yeah yeah, i know it was lot different, but there are similarities as well. Especially the fans reaction.

 

[n4l]

Ok. Now you guys are not starting to make sense.

***Note, I agree that Handa is indeed a good gk and yes, I did say and still maintain the JC is finished as a top GK.***

Nobody said that. Stop creating straw man arguments please

Guys, something doesn't add up here. Think about it. We didn't want Muntari anymore, we apparently told him so, and then went about shopping him around. We didn't ask him to reduce wages. We got offers for fucking Muntari! We did the same for all our deadweight. Suazo, Mancini, Rivas e.t.c...we all shopped them around, they all received offers but they declined e.t.c.

I find it weird that if we were shopping around JC, we'd get no offers for him. I've not heard a rumor about teams offering for JC. That is just very strange to me. The only thing we've heard so far is that we've asked to reduce his wages. Nothing about us trying to sell him.

 

[necrodragon]

seriously why would anyone want JC.

his error frequency has gone up.
he is the 3rd highest paid goalkeeper only behind buffon and cassilas
all top teams have a good goalkeeper

not a bit surprised that no one has made an offer for him, if we are to get rid of him, contract termination is the only way to go unfortunately

So teams wouldn't want JC but would want MUNTARI? That defies logic...

 

[necrodragon]

So teams wouldn't want JC but would want MUNTARI? That defies logic...

any given team requires 5-6 midfielders all of who are expected to see decent game time, but any team requires only 1 top class goalkeeper and rest of the goalkeepers are either washed up 38-39 year olds or youth to warm the bench.

and we are not talking about a average player who can play for 50-60 odd teams in europe, we are talking about a player who used to be one of the best in his category and is grossly overpaid, error prone and aging now.

Still cant see why teams want muntari over JC

 

[Nyall]

Grossly overpaid, error prone and aging?


wow... where the fuck were those sentiments 2 months ago when we were looking at our summer needs and all unanimously agreed that a goal keeper was the last thing this club needed?!

That's a reason why they are leading one of the most succesful clubs in the world in last ten years and we sitting infront of computers and complaining why grass on San Siro isn't green.

That's life, probablly ...

Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

He is overpaid. He is error prone. He is aging. Doesn't mean he's garbage. Doesn't even mean he's not very good. And certainly doesn't mean keeper was anywhere near the top of our list of needs.

He is co-owned by inter and udinese or not? Why legaseriea.it show transfer type is participation.

He could be co-owed, but with a comittment to buy. FFP doesn't allow you to keep debt between clubs year over year. So I am guessing the way clubs in Italy are doing deals with future payment is signing Co-Ownership with a commitment to buy the rest next year at a fixed rate. So we pay half the 11m now and half next year. Udinese did the same with Isla and Asamoah.

Accounting jiggery aside, he is fully an Inter player.

Happy birthday, Samir!
