The Italian player debate

[Hammoudi]

I was fully for having Italians in the team, but then I changed my mind for several factors.

However, I think we should have at least one italian player in our team, and preferrably an NT player. That's why I think we should look for italian youngsters for the future.

Players like Chiellini, Potenza, Montovellio etc. should be in our radar. We shouldn't always go for South American youngsters. If there is a great one, then get him by all means. However, if we are looking for future investments in general, I think looking in Italia should be part of the process.

Inter - season 2005/06

Toldo/Cesar/Carini

Ze Maria - Cordoba - Samuel - J Zanetti

Stankovic - Pizarro/Veron - Cambiasso - Solari

Adriano - Martins

Subs: Burdisso, Gamarra, Kily, Cruz, Recoba

In case Toldo stays we have one italian and only two europeans. We should buy more argentinians/south-americans...we only have so few...

How many non eu-citizen players can we use/sign exactly? It´s all a big blur to me since all we have is south-american [+ one afrikan] players and it seems we´re signing few more [Samuel & Solari & Pizarro].

:wallbang:

 

[Hammoudi]

Why can't Cambiasso, and Zanetti getting italian passport so they can be considered Italians as well as Argentinians?

The big problem with having so many SA's is that their federations are crazy and illogical bunch of idiots. We can suffer with all the WC qualifying rounds, but thankfully Argentina made it, but I am sure they will still recall all the players.

 

[interista-slovenia]

i think cambiasso actually has italian passport as well as argentinian.

Posted 31st of May 2005:

Currently we have 13 italians in our team.

And today is 2rd of July 2005:

Our italian players -> Toldo, Favalli, Materazzi, Coco and C Zanetti.

I´m sure that Coco will be sold, maybe Materazzi as well and there´s some rumors about Cristiano. :depress:

Sign Esposito and Gilardino and i´ll be a happy camper once again...

 

[Fabio]

And Mesto!

Fabio :lick:

 

[Tommi]

Give me more...

Man i would´ve loved to see Marchionni to join us.

 

[Hammoudi]

It appears he wanted a starting line-up role. He figured he'd have more with Juve than us (Camronesi may leave according to reports.)

And if I am not mistaken, his agent said we were after him.

In any case, I want Tavano, a public Inter fan. If Cruz leaves, then we should get him, let Obinna stay with Chievo for a while.

 

[catanha]

Don't need Cruz to leave, he should be sold ASAP, along with the other foreigners with the exception of JZ, Burdisso, Pizarro and Martins.

Sooner than later the FIGC are gonna stop being pansies and abolish this foreigner bs, better start selling, Massimo you clown.

 

[snake]

When FIGC does make a rule, they will give about 2-3 years advance so teams can adjust. They wont just slap it on before a season starts.

Anyway, this is the best team we have had in a long time and if that means msot of the times no starting italians in the team then so be it.

If it wasnt for juves damn unstoppable form this season we'd befirst. Either way, we have to put out our best possible team and like i said if that means no italians at times then thats they way it is

Reality check to catanha the worse they could is limit squad to 3 or so non eu players. Which would still not affect us since most of our foreigners as you call them have eu passports.

Ahem ahem u mean sell Cordoba, Samuel, Adriano, Figo, deki, cambiasso????????????????????. Not one of your smartest posts

 

[Karim]

Italian or no Italian?

Well the topic in hand suggests wether you would suporrt more Italians in the squad or it doesn't matter?

To reply on Adnan and Stefan, I think we need to invest more in Italian players, look I don't care about Bonera, I see he is a good player though

Look, as an Italian club and a lover of italian football I would see that Inter would more appropriatly use more Italians, yes just like Arsenal doesn't have except one or two English players, and there is no rule against that, still I would suggest to invest more in Italian quality, keep Andreolli not loan him, invest more in future goalkeepers and strikers, get Rossi he is an excellent investment and would replace 30 year olds Cruz and Crespo who might be leaving.

First of all, wrong forum.

Second of all, http://www.forza-inter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1070

Third of all, fuck nationalities.

Thread closed.

 

[Fabio]

No, dont **** nationalities

Lets get Quagliarella, oh baby.

 

[Handoyo]

And what Fabio, put him on the bench? Damn I'm sure you have double reasons to support him since he's your namesake.

Anyways, I wanna talk about Maxwell vs Grosso. (Goddammit, another one of your namesake) (This debate is not directed to you solely btw, open to everyone)

Let me recall, the main reason that the pro-Italian gave in the debate is that Italians tend to perform better howler or show more passion howler to the team, right?

But in this case, Maxwell has been heads & shoulders above Grosso and Grosso has looked as if he could give a damn. It was as if he plays because he was ordered to.

So should we still give Grosso the starting spot because he's Italian? Come on man, don't make me laugh again.

 

[minterke]

So what Han? There's better Italian fullbacks than Grosso out there please. Pasqual, Cassetti, Zambrotta all of whom are as good if not better than Maxwell. Even though Maxwell of course is great and I wouldn't want to replace him, not even with Grosso.

?

We are solely talking about Maxwell and Grosso here. I'm not saying that Grosso is the best in the world of course.

But that last sentence is what I wanna hear. Because I've seen Interisti wanting to drop Maxwell for Grosso solely because the latter is Italian.

 

[Stefan]

This debate is a rather pointless one we have been down this round road before. There are those who prefer italians and those like me who don't give a **** were the player comes from. Neither side is going to budge.

 

[Fabio]

Han who wants to drop Maxwell for Grosso?

Even Matrix said it, now we've won the league we should slowly start building a team with more Italians in it, lets face it; Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Recoba, Figo and several more and going to be here for many years to come so...why not.
