The only one who comes ahead of Figo is just Javier Zanetti. No one has shared in Inter's improvement (I'm not going to say that this term's disgrace is a success) more than them. The whole back line is inconsistent bar Maicon. Zanetti is versatile, he's played lots of matches as a midfielder, hence, I haven't included him with the back four. Vieira is clumsy and always injured, Cambiasso is a hard-worker but below par. Stankovic can't be classified as a winger nor a centre midfielder, he is a master of none exactly as Vieira. Adriano is a joke, just ask Mancini about him, and finally, as I said above, Ibrahimovic is very inconsistent, slow and showy. I reckon no one know the latter as we (Juventini) do. On the other hand, Cruz is one of the best substitutes in Italy, he can change the scoreline once he's a shadow of a chance, even though, his contribution and his effect can't be compared in general to both Zanetti and Figo.
Mate, Stankovic and Ibrahimovic have been excellent so far. Few bad matches don´t make the difference. Maicon is a true revelation, I dare to say maybe the best defender in Serie A this season, Cambiasso and Viera have been reliable when thy weren´t injured or suspended.

Ibrahimovic has been better this season if we've to compare this season's performance with the last year's one. But generally, he is still Ibrahimovic, the one who sucks big times. I don't see anything special in Stankovic this season as well as the seasons before, as I still can't classify his position on pitch, whether he is a true winger, centre or attacking midfielder. As a winger, I don't remember him overtaking side backs and creating chances despite being quick. Comparing him to the Golden ball winner, Nedved isn't that skillful but he is intelligent and he compensates for the lack of skills with his awareness and his accurate vision. As a center or attacking midfielder, the only good thing that Stankovic has is his heavy leg and nothing else.

We're originally discussing who is Inter's best player of the season, you said that Cambiasso is reliable when he plays alongside Vieira, but still this doesn't make him the best player in Inter this season. I won't express my opinion about Vieira generally, I'm sticking just to this term, has he even played this season so far with Inter? I doubt.

By the way, where was this excellent performance in Europe (I mean here Ibrahimovic, Stankovic and Vieira) ?

DD quits, Lippi returns!

Didier Deschamps told journalists he has resigned as Coach of Juventus and the latest reports place Marcello Lippi back on the bench!

There was immense confusion over the tactician’s future after Sky TG24 announced after midnight that Deschamps had tended his resignation in protest at contract talks and differing transfer policy.

Although the club released a statement this afternoon denying that was the case, all the comments since then have suggested their rapport has come to an end.

Deschamps left the Stadio Olimpico following today’s 2-0 win over Mantova without entering the Press room, but Sky Italia journalists say he told them he had quit.

“There has been no precise message from the Coach, we only saw the news in the papers,” said Juventus director Jean Claude Blanc.

“We had a discussion and we must clarify it. The dialogue with him has always been good and we will talk again to clarify our positions.

“Juve only comment on official news and this is not in that category. We continue the dialogue with Deschamps to plan the future, with or without him.”

The Bianconeri have earned promotion and today mathematically secured the Serie B title, but disagreements with director of sport Alessio Secco over new signings seem to be the key.

“We have not discussed any contractual figures with him,” continued Blanc. “There is a path for Juventus and its employees must follow that. Who is with Juve must respect that common goal and we have discussed that with the Coach and most important players.”

The latest reports suggest that World Cup winner Lippi will return to Turin next season after his one-year sabbatical.

It would be the third spell on this bench, as he was in charge of Juventus from 1994-99 and again from 2001-04.

“Lippi? For the moment we are only focused on resolving the issue at hand, then we will see,” added Blanc.

The Spanish media had said this week that Fabio Capello was earmarked for a return – an option that was today fiercely contested by the fans at the Stadio Olimpico.

Instead the Italian papers suggest it is another Fabio who is coming back from Real Madrid to Juventus – Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro.

I don't want this cockmunch back. I'd rather have Juventus rot eternally than accept these jackasses back now.
