    I don't think that he can solve our problems. If we could get him for free I will take him and then sell him to some other club. Why? Juve was always Italian and most of the players were Italians. If you look at club at this moment and if we will buy also Rafinha, Pandev and some other non Italian player, we will have more than 11 players out of Italy.

    Than it's also that Amauri was a beast before he join Juve, and look at him now. We need to change system and not players. If we will feed Amauri and Trez with balls then they will score goals.
    Amauri's chances to goals ratio certainly does not support that theory. For the last year...

    Pace: Tick
    Off the ball movement: Tick
    Dribbling ability: Tick

    The 3 things that we lack, I dont think there is much of a debate to be had here. Add to that the fact he has his best years still ahead of him, its a no-brainer (and hes better than amauri)

    Always thought he was a great player. Excellent even when you consider he's a freebie.

    But do we really need him right now. I don't think so, especially considering the fact that he's going to want an incredibly hefty pay check.

    If he can replace Camo, and allow us to revert to the 4-2-3-1, then YES, we need him. And whatever his wage demands, we would sign him on more than a 6 month contract, and if he fails to impress, we can sell him in the summer.

    We're in a very difficult position. We made many mistakes when it came to transfers and now we're seeing it.

    Is Pandev good? Yeah, I think he'd be a very good signing. He can do everything and plus he's young.

    The bad thing is that he'd probably want a decent amount of time on the pitch. I'd personally sell Iaquinta and get him, if possible. Still, the main issue:

    Does our board know which formation are we going to use next season? Or wait, do they know which formation are we going to stick with till the end of the season? I highly doubt.

    If we play 4-2-3-1 then it'd be too hard to settle with Pandev since we'd have Trezeguet out there and Amauri. Selling Amauri is not an answer because we also can't play Del Piero there. He's not good on the left. This way we'd do good with Gio - Diego - Camo but it just can't happen. I'm not even going to mention Camo's injuries and we have no one to take his place. (No, Ciro, you CAN'T play Marchisio there).

    If we use 4-3-1-2, it would suit him good. I think he would work good with all of our strikers, all. But you know what this means? It's either Giovinco accepting the fact that he's not going to play - or his sale.

    Oh and I don't really like Goran playing behind.

    So mr D...you don't see Pandev either being happy or capable of adopting the Camo role in a 4-2-3-1? His talents need to be the icing on the cake, not a lower layer?

    hmm, so he cant play on the right of the 3 AM can he...we need to figure out what formation we will play before we buy anyone else or else we will see the same thing that happened this year, a bunch of good players with no definate formation.

    I don't think he'd want that role and I wouldn't even offer him something like that. He's a very good player and the best option for him would be to play next to someone upfront IMO. It's Amauri's and Trezeguet's spot. Type of players that wants balls :)wth:), who can score from every position.

    Playing him as AMR out there would ruin him, we just wouldn't get anything. On that position, if we're going to use 4-2-3-1 that is, we need a runner, someone who can dribble, who's creative and who can deliver good crosses. We need Nedevd v2, we need Krasic.

    Pandev is free what are your fears that he would flop so what its not like we spent $ for him there is no risk in that deal
    In the worst case he would be like Tudor and Andrade paying salary for doing nothing but I wouldn`t call this a risk

    We made too many stupid moves and his salary would just be a cherry on the top of the cake.

    We shouldn't throw money like that. Hopefully Bettega knows what to do about all this.

    Basically you want to say that he would be Mutu No.2, only Mutu played on the left side?

    I'm undecided on this move, before I was tottaly for, but now I have second thoughts, especially couse I think that his saga with Lazio is far from over.

    I'm not sure if he can (not that Camo has been great or anything) but Camo brings something very different to our game than Pandev would imo.

    And we should not underestimate his wages. Whenever you sign a freebie, you end up overpaying for his wages, partly due to the fact that there are (almost) always multiple clubs interested. Simple economics.
    We have a pretty big squad as it is (too big for my liking), adding yet another player to the team, without letting one go is out of the question for me.

    The only way we could use Pandev is if we're going to let one of our attackers go.
    Dp won't be sold.
    If we use common sense Trez should not be sold either.

    That leaves us with Iaquinta & Amauri. Both are good enough and don't necessarily need to be replaced / improved.
    If we do really want / need Pandev (or an other striker) I'd let go of Amauri because he'll fetch us more money then Iaquinta.

    We need to fix a lot of things right now, and getting new players (especially attacking ones) should not be our priority.

    Pandev all set for Inter Thursday 24 December, 2009

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Goran Pandev is already being considered as an Inter player after he won his legal case against Lazio yesterday.

    After successfully rescinding his Biancocelesti contract, free agent Pandev is understood to be assessing his options.

    Nevertheless, widespread reports in Italy on Thursday morning are suggesting that he’s all set to agree a deal with the Nerazzurri.

    Despite interest from Juventus, Milan and Napoli, the Macedonian will in all probability re-sign for the club he left in 2004.

    Whispers in the peninsula are suggesting that the striker will undergo his Inter medical on December 28 or 29.

    It’s also understood that a basic agreement has been decided with only a few minor details to iron out before the move can be made official.

    Pandev, who will answer Jose Mourinho’s recent request that he wanted a new forward in January, will commit to Inter until 2013 or 2014.

    In terms of salary, he’s expected to net just under £3m a season in his first year with that figure rising on an annual basis.

    It’s also understood that Inter chief Massimo Moratti may offer Lazio the loans of a few Inter youngsters as a goodwill gesture.

    Pandev, who was contracted to Lazio until the summer, took action against the Olimpico outfit after being frozen out of the squad for failing to renew his deal.
