[ITA] Serie a 2006-07 (83 Viewers)

My favorite is Vieri. After turning down 50m Euro bid from Chelski, Inter decides to free him up, paying the majority of his salary, so that he can play for Milan.

Vieri had a 50 mill offer at the age of 31/32 when he was declining..riiiight.

Plus, Vieri was the reason we beat them after he failed to mark Adriano in the dying moments of the match. Agent 00BOBO

it turned out to be a terrible move, he even joined two teams (Samp and Atalanta) yet didn't make one single appearance to date..

u obviously have no idea how stupid chelsea can be, 13 mill for obi mikel and for what? he doesnt even look average.

and his injuries have been the cause of not making an appearance

 

[Javier_Zanetti]

im glad u took dejan, cuz id prefer canna

Apparently he prefers sunny Madrid, though.

only because it was an opportunity that he cudnt refuse at his age, at least we made good use of him. and performed wen it mattered, the wc.

So his career went down the toilet after he left us, that was the point all along.

Someone like Vieri, one of the best Italian marksmen ever, finishing his career in such fashion is sad.

Now - the Obi Mikel saga was a matter of pride. Chelsea wanted to win one over Man U.

And he's not average, he impressed in the U-20 WC in Holland (A Messi inspired Argentina side won that tournament)

no his career was going downhill towards the end of his inter stint and yes that is a sad way to finish his career, especially at a club like inter
mikel hardly featured for his previous club? and besides he isnt the only one, what about the likes of kalou? - he was average at best. the point is chelsea over spend on players who are nowhere near their true market value

Grygera would be guaranteed a start at Juventus, be it at right-back or centre-back, yet that wouldn't be the case had he signed for Inter. Makes perfect sense. It's not as if any Interisti got excited over the prospect of signing the world player of the year that is Grygera.

Plus, Juve have Nedved in their ranks so that factor worked in your favor.

Juve signed the likes of Nedved, Buffon, Thuram, Salas, Vialli, Davids, Baggio, Vieira, Zlatan etc.. when they were already established stars at their clubs, so don't start with the crap about raising champions. Most of them were champions already.. even Inzaghi was a star at Atalanta and many clubs sought after him.. the only noticeable exception to the rule is Del Piero. Good catch.

90% of football players are mercenaries anyway. That's what they do for a living afterall and most of them had difficult childhoods, so it's understandable.

Only a romantic fool would think otherwise.

fight another battle mate,when it comes to transfers and turning unknown players to champions there is no comparison between your club and ours.

anyway, the Phenomena is in Italy , lets see if he still has it

 

[Badass J Elkann]

jz - was buffon the worlds best at parma? or did juve give him that title

is camoranesi the player he is now as he was at verona?

is chiellini the player he is now as he was at livorno?

juve have a habbit of making average or talented players to good ones, this season has shown that alone, which is y im confident grygera will succeed.

unlike the likes of inter's maxwells and other so called average players

Zidane WAS a star in Bordeaux. He led a not so fashionable team to the UEFA Cup final and debuted for France at a very early age.

It's like saying that Deco wasn't a star before he joined Barca, just becasuse he was playing for Porto.

Vieri, perhaps yer right.

Depends on how you define a star. He was not a big name signing by any stretch of the imagination. Sure he played for Bordeaux, but so what? How many people knew about him? He played for France during Euro96 and he was no star, nor did he play like one.

We signed him for £3.2m, which is not a star signing at all.

Deco, on the other hand, won the biggest prize in all of Europe, and he was fairly well known before that also, also because of the Brazil/Portugal NT spotlight.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

and what about zambrotta? who made him the player we know him to be? it wernt bari, juve have made him one of the most consistant players for years, so consistant i dont remember the last time he made a mistake a player who has adapted so well in full back roles, that was sumthing bari defo didnt do.

The difference between the established players Juve and Inter were buying ( until last year, because that "rule" won't go for this year's Inter) was Juve's players were turning to be even better than they were while playing for some other teams ( Nedved, Zidane, Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro, Pippo...) while the ones Inter was buying ( most of them) were usually dissapointing and failed to find their form from the past ( Cannavaro, Killy, Van der Meyde,Veron, Davids, Peruzzi, Luciano, Farinos, Emre, Conçeiçao, Blanc, Jugovic,Baggio, Sousa, Sukur, Robby Keane, Panucci ...even Ronaldo and Seedorf).

This year Inter finally managed to find the right formula and none of the newcomers dissapointed so far , with some of them, like Zlatan, playing even better than they were in last year .

Amazing thread this one has become.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Inter DO tend to waste their players.Wether its because the players dont settle well in the envioronment,or because Inter have too big a squad to accomodate everyone,there have been a few players who came to Inter with a lot of promise,only to see their careers go downhill.

Inter was offered 50m in the first season Roman Abrahmovic took charge. Yes, that is just a season before, you guys decide to recinder his contract and with Moratti's good will decided to pay Vieri not to play for you guys. How about blowing 50m in a space of season?

Vieri move came totally unexpected from Inter management's perspectives. With the benefit of hindsight, I am sure Moratti would have kept him and put him on the bench. But in the end, it didn't really matter because Vieri was past his best.

 

[Marc]

I think Inter problem was they tended to practically change the first 11 every season, not to mention the coaches.

How could they be consistant then? No wonder they failed and the one to blame for this is unpatient Moratti.

If you look closely, Juventus and Milan winning squads were carefully picked and built through the years, something what Inter never did in past seasons.

This season the situation is different, every player is accomodated in their squad, the backbones of the squad like Cordoba, Materazzi, Cambiasso, Adriano, Stanković, Zanetti are already many seasons here and they added Maicon, Ibrahimović and Vieira who obviously adapt to different squads well.

IMO the only wizard coach of Inter was Hector Cuper, the man did some amazing job and if Moratti hanged on to him, Inter would be a powerhouse in the past seasons already.

it's sad to see an inter fan insult vieri like that
he WAS inter milan a few seasons back

 

[Kaka1899]

it just shows how poorly ex inter players are treated after they have left Vieri getting a slating now Ronaldo i cant work it out?

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

hehe, you're now using our old motto

"Next year we will win"

well, if you keep signing average players like Grygera and Hasan whateverhisnameis-dic.. I doubt it.

In case a couple of stars arrive, then perhaps you'll stand a chance of competing with the Milanese clubs. Time will tell, no?

but next season is still 7-8 months away. for now you should focus on your rather exciting adventure in B.

at least we dont steal money from goverment like moratti
