BTW, is it true he is an Inter fan? Do you have any source?
Yeah, tht's wht I heard long time back as well ....
:confused2: Are you sure? Personally I think he isn't, but something tells me it has something to do with his supposed mentor Eugenio Fascetti, & his funky tradition of selling his best talents to Inter (example. Ventola) and everyone were quite surprised when Roma launched such a huge 20 million bid.
In any event, the latest rumors seem to include,
Walter Samuel
Solari
Chivu
Mancini
Cassano
Pizarro
Luisao
"MoH’s very early transfer window mini-analysis"
Samuel
Actual Talent: - 4/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 2/5
Inter players beware: - Materazzi, Burdisso, Gamarra and Mihajlovic (Not bad, especially since I have a suspicious feeling we might not see some of them next season)
MoH’s ramblings: - Good Centre back, but the fee Real paid and his embarrassing form last season is a worry for me personally, especially since there are cheaper alternatives. I don’t like it, don’t like it one bit, but I would be pretty stupid if I said he doesn’t add something special to the Inter backline (Remember what I said about Davids) 2/5
Funkiness Rating: - 13/20 (65%)
Solari
Actual Talent: - 4/5
Possible Talent: - 4/5
Current Form: - 5/5
Inter players beware: - Coco, Favalli, Emre, Kily, Stankovic, Recoba and Van der Meyde. ( I doubt he’ll face this much competition…I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss Recoba though)
MoH’s ramblings: - I’m beginning to like Solari, and yes it does have something to do with him being an ex-Atletico Madrid player, contrary to what some fans think he’s quite professional (But I do question his loyalty sometimes) Not only did he have three great season in a row, but they all happened as a Substitute. 4/5
Funkiness Rating: - 17/20 (85%)
Chivu
Actual Talent: - 4/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 3/5
Inter players beware: - Materazzi, Burdisso, Gamarra, Mihajlovic, Coco and Favalli (Same reason again)
MoH’s ramblings: - Chivu as a Centre back would be fine, I don’t mind, but as a Left Back? He even said it himself, “I’m a Centre back that can play at Left Back” So why would he want to leave Rome (Especially since we have to pay quite a fee) and play the lad in a position he doesn’t enjoy (Apparently you have to blame Romania’s manager for coming up with the idea of turning him into a left back) 2/5
Funkiness Rating: - 14/20 (70%)
Mancini
Actual Talent: - 3/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 3/5
Inter players beware: - Coco, Favalli, Emre, Kily, Stankovic, Recoba and Van der Meyde (BLAH, BLAH…I’m officially removing this section, ******* worthless)
MoH’s ramblings: - Not happy with my Current form Rating? Well let’s be honest people, he’s not in the same league with you know who, but the whole of Rome (Roma + Lazio) had awful seasons, and he has been played out of positions on a few occasions. Let’s not forget the fact he had more assists than any other player in the league back in (2003/04) His arrival could be considered a gamble, especially with the fee the club are willing to spend. 4/5
Funkiness Rating: - 15/20 (75%)
Cassano
Actual Talent: - 4/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 3/5
MoH’s ramblings: - Trust me; he’s going places, World Club glory? Or to the nearest Anger Management centre? Hard to decide, but as Serie A fans we knew all along the kid had talent (It took Euro 2004 for the rest of the world to catch on, and he showed talent as a playmaker, remember that game where he had a hatrick of assists?) But lately there seems to be a trend of having talented youngsters with anger issues (Rooney, Cassano, Mido etc) you would think the world has gone mad, but thank god we got Martins and I think we oughta be thankful. 2/5
Funkiness Rating: - 14/20 (70%)
Pizarro
Actual Talent: - 3/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 4/5
MoH’s ramblings: - Veron had a great season (Hehe, just as I expected) But things don’t look that bright, Chelsea are probably playing hardball. & it seems to me the management are searching for alternatives, and sensibly Pizarro is the leading candidate. He might not have Veron’s lethal shots (That’s personally a bit of a worry for me) but he’s got a lot more tricks up his sleeve, hopefully Inter will be the right environment for him to explode into the world wide scene. (We should only get him if Veron leaves, we can't have both) 5/5
Funkiness Rating: - 17/20 (85%)
Luisao
Actual Talent: - 3/5
Possible Talent: - 5/5
Current Form: - 5/5
MoH’s ramblings: - A bit of a mystery in Europe, even yours truly isn’t really sure how good the lad is going to be. Had a disappointing debut season, but that just seemed to be a blessing and now he’s regarded as one of the best centre backs in Portugal. But we have to keep an open mind here! So he’s considered the best centre back in Portugal & is now a regular with the NT, can he perform the same magic in an Inter shirt? So how do I rate him? If I can be crazy and suggest he’s a Cordoba clone but without the pace and jump ability…Oh yeah he’s taller as well. 4/5
