[FML] Serie A 2009/2010 (19 Viewers)

I would swap Ibra with Eto'o. Ibra is a pompous asshole who want personal objectives more than team objectives and is a huge flop in the CL. Eto'o is probably the best striker in the world and is only 1 year older than Ibra. So if someone offers Eto'o + like 10 million pounds or whatever it is for Ibra I would tell Ibra to pack is bags and fuck off. Eto'o has 108 goals in 145 appearances for Barca.

I think inter can do just fine with:

Balotelli--Milito--Eto

And Eto'o has the best support in the world. He had Messi, Xavi and Iniesta behind him. Previously he had Ronaldinho and Deco.
Zlatan had Stankovic, Muntari and Cambiasso behind him.

It's not really fair to compare their goal record.

Barca ain't stupid. They wouldn't change anything in their perfectly working team if they didn't know that they're improving the team.

Eto'o did well for Mallorca too though. Inter play their whole team for Ibra. HE takes alot of shots per game and Inter are not a horrible team. Even at the end of the season Ballotelli scored a goal and the team got mad at him for not giving Ibra the ball because the bitch needs to get the top scorer title and can only do it if no one else scores.

I would not be surprised if Etoo came to Serie A and hit 30.

I think Berlusconi wants to sell all the players in Milan before selling the whole club. That way he could get more money.

Don't agree there, as alen said Ibra has absalutely no support in Inter (no creative players are playing in the team) while Etoo has probably the most creative players in europe (xavi, iniesta and messi) and still you find Ibra a top scorer in the league plus he's incredible assists to teammates.

Ibra's attitude sucks big time and when we were relegated the only thing that made me happy is seeing that egoohead out of Juve but one can't deny he's talent.

Ibra going to barca and etoo coming to inter is a great business for barca and a bad business for Inter IMO....

Ibra has got a horrible attitude, and he can go missing more than he should in CL nights. But based on this season's performances, he's a level above Eto'o imo. Zlatan can make things happen all by himself. Eto'o has the luxury of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi doing that for him. Anyone who sees Etoo play for Cameroon will understand what i'm talking about, the guy isn't half the player he is with Barca.


That being said, i don't think swapping Etoo for Ibra is a good move for Barca. Barca have enough players that want the ball at their feet, and they don't have enough players that make runs behind the defense. If their is one thing you can criticise Barca's offense for, it's their off the ball movement in the final third. Eto'o is one of the only players willing to make these runs in order to complement Messi, Xavi and Iniesta's creativity. Ibra is not that type of player.

Imo Ibra is not what Barca need, David Villa would be more suitable imo.

Ibra does not understand the offisde rule I think. No top forward is as unable to stay on side as Ibra.

Ibrahimovic just made an interview on Swedish tv where he states he already knows where he's playing next season. He won't reveal whether it's Inter or Barca but judging by the way he acts here it's pretty obvious to me; he's going to Barcelona.

Interview

It's in the very end of this clip, for those interested.

 

[CalcioJuventus]

Inter are going to lose all their star players hahah. What a great club. If Maicon leaves they will have lost their 2 best players last season.

Juve on the other hand can attract players apparently.

 

[Alen]

Also, let's not forget the time they loaned Abbiati to us when Bufon got hurt during the Berlusconi Trophy match.

They didn't have to do that. There were no legal or moral grounds on which to do something like that.

They did it only as a part of the Buffon to Milan deal.
And yes, Buffon was surely leaving for Milan if not for Calciopoli.

 

[blondu]

but why?..i cannot explain that..we were winning titles, buffon was awesome. Did moggi wanted to sell him or what?

 

[.zero]

I can't believe Real still wanted him. Why would you pay that kind of money for a player who obviously doesn't really want to be there?

didn't we have the same scenario when we first signed zlatan?

 

[Suns]

didn't we have the same scenario when we first signed zlatan?

But Zlatan wanted to play for Juventus when we signed him.

 

[.zero]

i think he used us as more of a stepping stool. he wanted to get out of ajax to a bigger club which would propel him. i doubt that he really wanted to play for us

i believe thats the case too, it was evident with his comments when he moved to inter. the whole " i was an inter supporter as a kid blah blah blah show me the money"

One of the reasons i never liked the guy, its always about him first and he's personal achievements than the clubs that he plays for.

Many similarities between him and cristiano R.

as much as i hate his guts but i kind of respected the fact that he stood up for us wining the 2 revoked scuds on the pitch where it matter the most ( i'm not very naive and i know he is trying to protect the fact he won it twice as a juve player but its worth some respect) other than that he is can go to hell for all i care.

Nope, that wasn't the case. Ibrahimovic was very proud to play for Juve and would have done so for as long as he could if it wasn't for Calciopoli. You have to keep in mind at the time we were considered one of the biggest clubs in the world (this is only a few years ago), we were widely regarded as massive favourites in both CL quarter finals against Liverpool and Arsenal, etc.

Time and time again Ibrahimovic has hinted that playing for Juve was much greater than playing for Inter. This "I used to dream of playing for Inter" is true indeed but that was mainly due to Ronaldo playing there. If anything he used Inter as a stepping stone to one day get back to one of the bigger clubs.

Interesting from channel4.com. Sort of what we have already been discussing

Blog: Life after Kaka

Kaka may have gone and more could follow, but Giancarlo Rinaldi doesn’t think it’s the end of Italian football – it might just be the beginning…

I often find myself walking around a supermarket with the same dilemma. Do I go with a cut-price product, a household name or a top-class brand? Nowadays, I admit, I usually take the low-cost option. And it strikes me that Serie A may have to do the same.

It seems that the world’s finest players no longer want to display their wares in Italy. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Douglas Maicon, Kaka are – as an auctioneer might say – going, going, gone. The initial signs are that they will not be replaced by material of similar quality. Our Presidents’ pockets are empty.

However, it need not mean total meltdown. Of course, we would all like to have the very best ingredients in the football we are being served. Nonetheless, a little bit of imagination can still produce impressive results.

The experts at making a tasty team out of everyone else’s leftovers of late have been Genoa and Udinese. The Rossoblu picked up Thiago Motta from the bargain bucket and he ended up proving such an appetising prospect that Inter snapped him up. Even Diego Milito was hardly a top-end purchase.

In Friuli they have got scouts scouring the globe for the names nobody else has heard of. They continually unearth some mouth-watering talents and would surely have been contenders for a Euro place this year without the extra pressures of a good UEFA Cup run.

These are the examples the rest of Italy must follow. In addition, they need to take a chance on the nation’s youngsters. If the Under-21 side consistently competes at the highest level, there must be a reason. These boys are pretty good.

So, Milan, Juve and the rest, forget the marquee signings – especially when their sell-by date has long gone. A bit of creativity and inventiveness can go a long way. It might not be a recipe for Champions League success overnight but in the long-term it could be the only sensible option.
