I think that Nainggolan is slighty better too, but these stats are interesting (whoscored.com):

Nainggolan: PA: 84%, Apps: 18, Goals: 2, Assists: 1, Rating: 7.33
Guarin: PS: 72%, Apps: 18, Goals: 3, Assists: 4, Rating: 7.45

His pass accuracy is really worrying: 72% so far (77% in 2012/2013). Rating looks promising though.

He attempts alot more difficult passes than Nainggolan does, though. Nainggolan is pretty much just the simple back pass or sidepass to a teammate.

Guarin has more attacking ambition and talent than Radja. He is a B2B with the same mindset as Vidal and Pogba, to try dangerous passes and shots.

Radja is more of a defensive midfielder. I think he's still a B2B type but on the defensive side.

You can look up a lot of Guarin games on Youtube where they just show his touches and decide for yourselves if he's shit or playing on a shit team.

For example this game vs. Napoli. Some passes don't find his shitty teammates but they are great ideas and still good execution.


It's clear he doesn't give a fuck about Inter and the coach is clueless, the team lacks discipline. Most of Guarin's criticism comes from bad shots and/or selfish decisions sometimes. On Juve, I'm confident that will disappear since he will probably give a fuck about playing here and Conte's disciplined system. When Conte tells you not to shoot, you won't shoot, or else you'll end up on the bench for good.

conte to fix, plus guarin will try harder passes, because of his different position, as exhibited by the higher assist count

Someone edited Branca's wikipedia page:


"Management career

Since 2002, Branca has been part of Internazionale's management, working in their transfer network. He helped organise the transfers of Lúcio, Diego Milito, Thiago Motta, Wesley Sneijder and Samuel Eto'o. Recently when he was on vacation with his family in the country side, a huge rock fell off a wall and landed on his head. That accident took its toll on Branca's judgement in the transfer market. F.C. Internazionale Milano are currently suffering a lot from his actions in the transfer market, when to be fair, he should be in a mental institute curing his head injury which affected his brain rather than working on Inter's transfer network."

:rofl: :rofl:

Hang on, if he's coming, what does it mean for Pirlo, Pogba and Marchisio?

Pogba MUST stay!
not wrong there...what does it mean for our team...my thoughts are as follows:

1. Marotta cant find any wingers to buy. Lamela was a struggle and Spurs were always going to make it hard for us. Di Maria was never going to happen. Menez wont be bought when he can come for free in the summer if he is willing.
2. Alternative to a winger is an attacking midfielder.
3. A midfielder who can play anywhere in midfield including attacking midfielder is handy to have in the squad, hence Guarin fits the bill.
4. versatility, reasonably cheap for the market, Serie A experience....seriously, how can Marotta resist when it ticks all the boxes he normally wants.

We currently have 4 players rotating in 3 positions...maybe that remains with Guarin playing as an AM behind Llorente and Tevez.

Good points but how about Nani?

Guarin is also quicker than any of our midfielders (except maybe Asamoah) and has a good cross on him, which makes me think he could probably play as a winger at times.

Holy shit did Pogba go to Inter?


No?

Shhhhhh then.

Even if he was somehow Pogbas 'replacement' it's not like we wouldn't have 60M to ease the pain. People are acting like our squad next year will be the exact same now - Vucinic and Pogba + Guarin.
