The Italian player debate

[Stefan]

Stefan, but you, like lots of foreign fans -who don't go to the stadium- don't care whether it's foreign or Italian players. The people who go to the stadio do, so why the hell would it bother you if the management of an ITALIAN club, founded by ITALIANS in ITALY, managed by ITALIANS, whose main shareholders are ITALIAN, whose president is ITALIAN would opt to bring in more ITALIAN talent, hm?

It wouldn't bother me as long as they are quality players and aren't just brought in for the sake of being Italian.

And Inter is an international club it might be based in Italy and have italian shareholders and such but it's stakeholders are allot more than just italians. It should taken into account all it's stakeholders and these include the so called foreign fans.

what the fukc are you laughing at you idiot.

I know its shaz and normally id let you diss the hell out of him and although I read about one line and it already set the tone for his junk post but im still going to say something cause your just as much as an idiot. What are you laughing at?

Thats a perfectly fine word.

Hal you idiot, dont you know if the word is not used in Cyprus then it is not a word? FFS buddy get your head on straight this it Yuko we are talking about here, nothing gets past him.

PS: :star: :star: Quality posts all over the place Stefan.

 

[Fabio]

Can you give Yuko a bit of a break? Being stubborn might be seen as something bad but it can also be something good as gold...

Anyway, it's easy for you to understand Stefan's stance I guess.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

lol thought I would never see Hal defending me. Er, thanks for your support bro.
Yuko betterment is the same thing as improvement. I guess its not used that much in normal life, but with regards to finance and property, it is used constantly.
"The chances of your financial betterment are much higher, if you buy this security"
etc etc.

 

[Waleed]

Nah man it aint like that I just think he has made some valid points in his arguments. Doesnt necessarily mean I agree with him. Quality is quality no matter what opinion it is supporting.

 

[Khalifa]

I think many people will be more committed and loyal towards the club that supports them and builds them. Finding a random person and having them loyal and passionate jus like that, is almost always pure fantasy.

This is how i introduce that the players in the youth academy are the committed and passionate ones. They compete with the fans in the curva in terms of passion. So when we say we want more italians because they are going to show more heart can be overpowered here by the fact that the youth players that have been with the fostered by the club over the years will square what an italian picked up from Siena will offer us.

I would love to see more Italians in Inter, because I love Italy and everything Italian and simply would like to see competing internationally a more passionate thing for me...but simply said, if you cant fill in the boot, dont place a toilet paper there.

Well, these are some of the Italian players who could be on the market:

Buffon - Will be damn expensive and would we need to spend tha much of $$, when J.Cesar is doing such a fine job between the posts ??

Cassano - May be there's a very good chance that we might grab him, or he might join Milan/? ?

Quagliarella - The uprising talented player but he's just showing his wonders. I doubt it's a one season wonder but he won't come cheap as well and would he want to warm the Inter bench instead of playing regularly, which is very important at this stage of his career ??

Rosina, Montolivo, Bianchi - Just like in Quag's case, the same applies for Rosina and Montolivo as well.

Toni - He's a proven striker but lately I am feeling that a player like Suazo/? would be more better as they are young and have other good characteristics which would help us in great deal. One of those reasons being that he could be expensive and he's not getting young anymore.

Lucarelli - He's not a not young player as well but would be a good option if Cruz is to be sacrificed to bring in A.Mancini. Just an option and only if he's cheap and accepts the bench role !!

Maresca - Would be a good addition to our squad if he doesn't mind to be a part of the squad rather than demand the starting role. I have always liked Maresca since some seasons back. If he comes for less $$, then I would love him to be a squad player. If we are planning to have more midfielders next season, he would be one of the option OR Dacourt could make way for him, even though I see no reason as to why the management would do so, coz we signed Dacourt for free and replacing him with Maresca would mean a bit of financial loss. Then again, I wouldn't mind Maresca at any cost, also coz the investment would be for a long term.

Muntari - I am not aware of his game, as I am yet to watch him well.

As well all know, bringing starting Italian players would cost alot than bringing same quality or more better foreign players. Instead, we should try our best to make the best out of our youth players, if possible - Andreolli !!

Anywaz, I would love to have Maresca, wouldn't mind Cassano OR any from the above list, if we can benefit from their arrival.



Btw, I don't want Camoranesi !! lol ....

Toldo, Materazzi, Grosso (?), Andreolli, Orlandini (spel), Cassano, Maresca wouldn't be bad huh. As for me, I don't care at all if we have less number of Italian players.

lol !! my bad ..... Told ya, I haven't seen him well and thought his name sounded like Italian ...

Luca Toni And Cristiano Lucarelli were/are the best Italian strikers in the last two seasons.

Most underrated strikers in the world: Cristiano Lucarelli and David Suazo.

Ronaldo, Gilardino, Raul, Rooney and such, are not as good as Lucarelli, Toni or Suazo, and I won't even compare them..

If Inter sign Toni or Lucarelli, even if they're over 30, I'll be sure that we'll have better (alot better) strikers than Man Utd, Madrid, BBilan, JuBe, Arsenal, Liverpool etc etc..

Lucarelli is crazy, considering the below-average players he has in his team.

I can't imagine how many goals can Toni or Lucarelli score if they played with Ibrahimovic, Vieira, Stankovic, Maicon, Maxwell..

And don't tell me that they play better in a small team (like Pizarro), because they are strikers, not midfielders. All what they need is alot of good crosses + passes + freekicks, and a good partner around the penalty area (Ibra).

The only problem is their clubs won't let them go easily.

About the "playing for a small team", it's mostly a striker thing

Strikers have the whole small team playing for them, setting them up only and they usually play by themselves up front. This is not always the case of course, it's a generality, but generalities are mostly correct.

So if we had Lucarelli or Toni along with Zlatan, it'd be tough for them to score over 20 goals. If they are really "small team players", they'd score around 10.
Point is, strikers are mostly affected with the "small team" issue

 

[Dera]

I think the best solution would be that we buy some young talents for little money.. Because Fratelli d'Italia is wright

Care to elaborate on why you think he is right??

On the italian talent out there. I would sign Luca Toni if one of adri or crespo gets sold or isn't coming back next season if he acceps that he will fight for the second spot next to ibra as a starter.

I also like Mesto from Reggina.

And Maresca if he is willing to be a rotation player.

The rest I am not convinced about. Qualiarela(the guy from samp) needs to show me he isn't just a one season wonder and Cassano needs to get his head right before I consider him.

Not all of them. I'm only talking about great players, not sick and overrated like Gilardino.

Toni used to score alot with Palermo. He moved to Fiorentina, which is better than Palermo, and he scored ALOT more. With the Italian NT, Toni never stops scoring too.

Eto'o is another example. He used to score alot with Mallorca, then he moved to Barcelona, and with players like Ronaldinho, well.. you know how many goals he's scoring there.

The point is: Lucarelli and Toni are Italians who proved that they're not one season wonders. Quagliarella on the other hand, needs more time to show that he's good enough to play in a club like Inter. He shouldn't be in Inter too soon just because he's Italian.

 

[Dera]

Italy best players: Buffon, Materazzi, Gilardino, Nesta, Iaquinta, Cassano, Esposito, Lucarelli

Forget about the others.....Gila, seriously?

Point taken

Lucarelli is not in the age that I'd want a striker to be(as a new and important signing)
Toni is not much younger, but at least is a regular with the national team, and that is what Inter fans drool for. Italian national team starters, or at least potential starters. They wouldn't settle for anyone as some of you make it sound

 

[minterke]

Lucarelli is too old. If Milan get Cassano then all I have to say is they're going to have the most dangerous attack in the world with some time. Gila, Ronnie, Cassano and Kaka...God have mercy on us.

 

[Fabio]

Lucarelli? He is the least Italian Italian around...

 

[Marcello]

Cassano is overrated, when he was young he was awsome just like gila was no there big duds..
i wouldnt want cassano here even though he is italian .. de rossi would be my main man and rosina 2 stars of the future!
