Your REALISTIC Inter squad or line-up

What do you guys think about Eto'o - Milito partnership? Plausible?

What do you guys think about Eto'o - Milito partnership? Plausible?

With the right players around them, I believe they can do well.

We need to either buy Ribery or Gourcuff or buy Cassano and Hamsik/Sneijder.

 

[Stefan]

We did pay 2m more than Suazo's buyout. It really depends on the player.

Suazo deal was complicated because of milan and the confusing of whether the buyout clause only applied to foreign teams.

 

[Hasan]

Mourinho will try 4-3-3 again? If we will play Barcelona style then we have:

Balotelli like Henry, Eto'o like Eto'o and Quaresma like Messi
Replacement for Balo is Arnautović, for Eto'o is Milito and for Quaresma we can buy Cassano and he could be starter.
That means Suazo,Mancini out.

In the middle Cambiasso is better from Yaya, Hleb will cover Iniesta's role and Xavi is one who missing. Motta is good but... If we can buy that sort of player Muntari will be sold to Tottanham and Zanetti, Stan will be backups with Khirin.

In: Fabregas or Gourcuff, Out: Muntari or Stanković, Vieira

In my eyes that can be good, balanced team.

It's hard to figure out how we will play next year. Given our few midfielders, our will offload midfielders and few rumours about midfielders it seems we'll play 4-3-3.

With Zanetti:
Zanetti, Cambiasso, Motta, Muntari, Stankovic

This means we need to "replace" Zanetti's LB position. This can be done by buying a new LB or keep Burdisso. We've been linked to Santos. We also need at least one midfielder. This should be Sneijder or Hamsik.

Without Zanetti:
Cambiasso, Motta, Muntari, Stankovic

We need at least two midfielders. I don't think Moratti wants to spend the money to do that. He might keep Vieira.

Our "Ibra replacement" will probably be Cassano, which to me indicates even stronger that 4-3-3 will be used. So we'll buy Cassano, but then we need to buy one midfielder and one LB/keep Burdisso or buy two midfielders/buy one and keep Vieira.

Our attack will be crowded as a chicken farm. Suazo, Hleb, Eto'o, Milito, Arnautovic, Balotelli, Quaresma, Mancini and Kerlon as of date, plus probably Cassano (minus Kerlon and hopefully Mancini and Suazo).

I'm really confused now, because Hleb indicates 4-4-2/4-3-1-2. I have no idea what to make of Inter 2009/2010.

 

[brehme1989]

433 can't work in Italy imo, at least as the primary formation.

With Zlatan gone, I feel that a 442diamond since we have 2 scorers and only need a player to link the dm line with the strikers, a trequartista that is. I want to use Chivu in midfield, since he's good with the ball, and can rotate with Muntari or Motta. That's also due to a strong Lucio-Samuel duo in the back. I also want Marek Hamsik or if that Hernanes is similar, he'd do as well

So here goes 442 diamond, kinda like Milan in the early 2000's:

Julio Cesar
Maicon-Lucio-Samuel-Zanetti
Cambiasso
Stankovic-Chivu
Hleb?
Milito-Eto'o

That means we can use Mancini as a backup to Maicon, since that's what he was brought in Italy for. Santon to backup for Zanetti, with Chivu being able to help there as well.
Cordoba and Materazzi along with a Primavera player and with Chivu again and even Cambiasso being the backups for the cb position.

As for dm, Stankovic and Muntari can help when Cambiasso is unavailable

Muntari, Chivu, Stankovic, Hamsik/Hernanes, Motta and Primavera youngster for the two mc positions, with Hamsik/Hernanes and Chivu being the top contenders for me.

Then we have the am position, where we need a new player, and I doubt that Hleb by himself can go on for a year. Unless he is the starter with Deki being his understudy when needed. Quaresma can also be used there

Balotelli and Suazo/Obinna are adequate for backup.

Since 433 seems in the picture, it should be implemented at points in a game and there's a good squad available for that too. One of Eto'o and Milito must not be in the lineup though. Here goes, simply as a backup plan during games:

Julio Cesar
Maicon-Lucio-Samuel-Zanetti
Hleb- Cambiasso-Muntari
Balotelli-Eto'o-Quaresma

433 with our current squad is more possible, but I believe the 442 diamond is way better in terms of quality and balance between players

 

[alvaro]

Milito makes it all difficult. Without him the forwardline of 3 would look like this, everyone having direct replacements.

Cassano-Eto'o-Balotelli
(Hleb)(Arnautovic)(Quaresma)

Maybe we can do "corradi's" and sell him during the same summer we bought him.

edit. Of course if Jose intends to play Hleb in midfield 3 (Cambiasso-Hleb-Motta) then Arna could be sub for wide position with Militia being sub for Eto'o.

Anyway it looks so complicated at the moment I don't know what to think, just hope that we do get Cassano.

Agreed but do u think we got milito for a sub?If not him everything would have been pretty clear.cant eto be used as a wing forward?

 

[Luka]

Eto'o can be used on wings.

Arnautovic is not that type of player, I think he will be either second forward, or winger. But first he has to recover, and we have to actually buy the dude.

Milito is not the type of guy who will bitch about not playing. He will work hard, and it will take a lot to push him out of the first team. And this is correct approach.

 

[alvaro]

No, I know he was bought to be a starter. Eto'o can play there but it would put Balotelli on bench witch Cassano taking the another flank. But is he coming? Then there would be Quaresma, Hleb, Arnautovic too. So many if's and but's im fucking confused and don't know what to think about the formation.

 

[brehme1989]

433 needs at least 2 pacey midfielders and 3 quick forwards to work. Name me a team that has had success with 433. Barca has Xavi(quite quick), Iniesta-Messi, Etoo, Henry...

Who do we have? Muntari, who can't pass. No other pacey midfielder... and Quaresma, Mancini, Etoo..that's three and the first two names were quite bad last season. So despite being numerically able to play 433, it's not a very good option imo. I want 41212(or 442 diamond)

 

[Forza Nerazurri]

and who will be in your 4-1-2-1-2?

look it's reall not that hard 4-3-3:

cassano-----------milito----------eto'o


Motta--------------Hleb-----------Cambiasso


Santon(Zanetti)--------Lucio--------Samuel---------Maicon


Hleb and cassano will provide the creativity to serve Milito and Eto'o since they are the best pure strikers we have

 

[brehme1989]

I've literally spammed the forums with answers to that question

 

[el pibe]

If Ibra will really be sold, then maybe we could prise Ribery away and use this:

4-2-4
--------------Julio Cesar----------------
Maicon - Cordoba - Lucio - Santon
--------- Zanetti - Cambiasso------------
Quaresma------------------Stankovic/Ribery
--------Milito/Balo - Ibra/Eto'o------------

And although that is unlikely... here's a more likely scenario:

--------------Julio Cesar---------------
Maicon - Cordoba - Lucio - Santon
--------------Cambiasso---------------
--------Zanetti---------Hamsik/Alonso/Aquilani
--Balotelli/RQ - Ibra/Eto'o - Cassano/Lavezzi

 

[Forza ragazzi]

No, I know he was bought to be a starter. Eto'o can play there but it would put Balotelli on bench witch Cassano taking the another flank. But is he coming? Then there would be Quaresma, Hleb, Arnautovic too. So many if's and but's im fucking confused and don't know what to think about the formation.

Yes, I am puzzled myself.

However, I believe one fundamental issue is Zanetti's role. There will be different requirements if he is considered a defender than a midfielder, f ex.

But it's a complete mess at the moment. We need midfielders and we look intent on bringing Cassano as Ibra's replacement. That increases the number of attackers, which again makes 4-3-3 more likely.

Eto'o/Ibra, Milito, Arnautovic, Balotelli and Quaresma are completely confirmed for next year. In 4-3-3 Mancini, Hleb, Suazo will be fighting for those spots too. And then there's Cassano.... and Kerlon. Ten attackers for six spots. Four has to be sold/loaned out. Kerlon is one of them and we need to sell Mancini and Suazo. Then who to sell?

 

[Alex de Large]

Arnutinovic should go on loan and return when he is good enough.

In: Cassano and Alonso
Out: Ibrahimovic, Mancini, Rivas, Suazo.
Especially Vieira and Burdisso.

------eto'o----milito----cassano-----
--muntari---xabi alonso--cambiasso--
santon--samuel-----lucio-----maicon
---------------cesar---------------

bench:
----balotelli----balotelli-----quaresma---
----motta----stankovic----zanetti------
chivu--chivu/matrix----cordoba----zanetti
---------------toldo------------------

 

[Boys San Interista]

Im really confused with Inter's bad management. No structure at all!!

Arnautovic is not going to be loaned out. This kid thinks he's going to play, haha this kid will be Zlatan's replacement, mark my words!
Mourinho like surprises, so he will give us plenty next year.

So i think we will try to play another formation next year a 4-2-3-1


-------------------Milito/Arnau----------------
-----Ballo/Quar--Hleb/Stankovic--Eto/Arnau----
--------------Motta-------Cambiasso----------
--Santon/Zann--Samuel/Cord---Lucio--Maicon--
----------------------Cesar-------------------



---------------MILITO-----------------
----Balotelli-----Hleb-----Eto'o---------
----------Motta----Cambi--------------
--Zann----Samuel----Lucio----Maicon--
----------------Cesar-----------------

We don't win the championsleague with this team i know for sure.

 

[chalon]

----------------Julio Cesar
Maicon------Lucio------Samuel-----Chivu
---------------Cambiasso
Alonso/Hleb/Zanetti-------Muntari/Motta
----------------------------------------
Quaresma/Balotelli-----------Cassano
-----------------Eto'o

 

[Handoyo]

Hahaha Yuko. (The spam thing)

Anyways, that line-up is exactly what I want. I hope Mou learns from last season not to force players into his formation but to force his formation around the players. It'd be ridiculous to repeat the same mistake twice.

He always talk about a team's need of having an identity. Why the heck can't we use 4-3-1-2 as our identity then? We've won 3 straight Scudetti with that formation.
