Surprising to see he gets so much praise. The guy definitely has some qualities that other players of ours don't have, but he was barely involved most of the time.

Ahh here we go.. Let's just bury the man now because he's no 'Camo'. Let's be honest, who is? I don't know what you guys are expecting us to do on the transfer market any time soon, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
What was it.. Diego is no Nedved either?
Just because he was played in a position that Camo would've taken were he not injured, doesn't mean he's gonna keep him out of our team? Or that he's supposed to be a Camo-clone?
And most people are simply just saying how he didn't do bad and was one of few who had some movement and initiative next to Diego, when he was on the ball. He needs to get involved more but it's not exactly an easy time to step into a team, nor are Inter away a walk in the park.
We might aswell think a bit more positive about him, it's not like he pulled a 'Grosso' on us.

i think i had enough with molis, tiagos , poulsens...i don't want to add candrevas there..he is here on loan for god's sakes...he will return back if he won't perform. So at 10-15 mils you can get some proper replacement for camo. And we didn't bring diego for neddy because neddy played in a position that diego never played in his life...it was a big name retired, and we bring a big name for balancing the team..
Well I remember people praising Diego after the first games, then moaning he wasn't a 'Nedved' when things didn't go so well. This whole comparing-thing usually doesn't make sense, that's exactly what I'm trying to say here.
And although I don't think Candreva will be part of our next generation team, he can still be decent for us long as he's here, but there's no need to go 'he's no Camo'. We all know he isn't.

To clarify myself: I'm not comparing him to Camo or any other player, nor am I judging him so early on.
And I definitely agree when people point out that he has certain qualities that our other players are lacking.
I do however feel that he received unwarranted praise for last night's game. To me he was one of our worst 3 players. (If I'm not mistaken La Stampa even rated him as the worst.)
A game lasts 90 min, Candreva was only involved in, at most, 20-25 of them. Like I said in the match thread: what he did was perfectly fine, he just didn't do much.

That's basically how I feel, though I tend to be a bit more optimistic than most people. 'Atleast the things he did were good' 
The position itself didn't seem to fit him as he was constantly moving into the middle, he's not the type of winger to take on the opponent and make a run alongst the side line. I think he'd do better just next to Diego or in a ( broken record, I know.. ) 4-2-3-1.
I just feel that he could offer us something more than he did given a different position, as his movement on the ball and vision, the times he did demonstrate it, seemed to be alright.
I'm not praising him as such, but alot of people had already judged him on 15 minutes against Roma and seem to think he's a Tiago all over again, already. I'm just not willing to judge him on a game like this under these circumstances.

Nearly every time he got the ball, he made a beeline for the middle of the pitch. Slight exaggeration, but you can tell he's much more comfortable there. He was ok, definitely made a few nice passes, but he didn't really add much in terms of width... which we seriously require. It was nice to see another player with some decent ball control in the lineup, though...
First match, difficult opponent, the kid definitely deserves some more PT before any fair judgements can be made.

No idea how that will work. Look, what we needed was a regista, not another box to box or attacking midfielder. We have Diego for the center of the pitch in front of the holding midfielders. So what we want to do now is play with two attacking midfielders, basically playing the same role? Again, no idea how that will work.
Only options are these with Candreva:
Candreva - Melo - Sissoko
Diego
or
Marchisio - Melo - Sissoko
Candreva - Diego
Amauri/Trez
If he can't play wing, then those are the only options for him. Again, it's a shame he can't play as a deep-lying playmaker because that's what we need. Or a creative right-winger. But he is neither.
