11 goals in 17 games for Inter in 2010-2011.

That's worthless as well? The guy can score regularly provided he gets decent service.
I don't recall any of his goals that season being much more than "garbage-time" scores, though. Possible, but was not an impact player in my mind.

He's better than Matri in headers and tap-ins (always getting ahead of his marker with good timing, your typical poacher).. Matri's more physical with better shooting technique. they both lack consistency. I still prefer Matri becuase when they're both on their game Matri offers more and is more complete of the two. Also hate to see him go to milan. I don't even think this whole move generates enough money if any at all (loan rumours).. it seems more like a tactical choice by Conte unfortunately.

No one is going to like hearing this but the guy can score. He just needs a good enough vice. Jojo is that player.
Prior to last season, he had 20+ goals in all competitions for 2 years in a row, and lit it up for 15 Goals in 23 matches in the 2nd half of 2008/2009 when he transferred to Sampdoria.


Here's some numbers for the sake of Comparison.

In all Competitions, from January of 2009- Last Season, Pazzini scored 67 Goals in 146 Matches, which is a scoring rate of 46%.

Taking his piss poor season last year out of the equation, those numbers are 59 goals in 107 matches, a scoring rate of 55%

Pazzini's last 3 seasons, including last year, he has scored 52 goals in 123 matches, at a rate of 42%


Matri, in 3 full seasons, has scored 43 goals in 108 matches, which is a goal scoring rate of 40%.

Now, in the last 2 season with Cagliari/Juve combined, he has scored 30 goals in 69 matches, or at a rate of 43%


In the last 18 months with just Juve, he has scored 19 goals in 46 matches, at a scoring clip of 41%




Just going off of the raw numbers, it is pretty evident that Pazzini is indeed a more prolific goal scorer. Again, Pazzini had the benefit of Cassano for what amounted to 2 full seasons, but it can't be discounted that his goal scoring rate actually improved in the 2nd of of 2010-2011 when he went to Inter.

matri has not had the benefit of a Cassano type player, as Vucinic is possibly a step below, and he has yet to play with Giovinco.

However, Pazzini has not had the benefit of playing with Vucinic and/or Giovinco either, and would be coming to a superior team with Juve.

I don't know. Let's see what Destro's decision will be. If he refuses Roma then we have a strong chance to get him. If not then Pazzini's chances of coming here will be high.
