Yup. Theres something supremely dislikable about icardi. And its not in the way of a lichtsteiner or mandzukic: the type you hate in a different team but love in your own
That's becuase Licht and Mario are pricks on the pitch, but true classy gents off the field in their everyday lives.


Icardi is a lvl 334773 douche on and off the pitch. But the guy scores like a mother F***er :D

Look at these mental midgets, they say with straight face they rather have walking train wreck like Balo over a a guranteed 30 goals young top striker?
yeah, its one thing if we are saving money or something financially related but if the money is there and we don't mind blowing it then its sorta a no-brainer :D

You guys seriously think clubs are not intetested in Icardi because he stole his friends wife?

I don't remember people wanting Agnelli out, he did the same thing.

And speaking of double standarts, of course Wanda wants a better deal for him, what agent doesn't? Verratti was getting a new contract every 6 months with PSG, he had probably the most annoying agents out there still 99% of us :tuttosport: 'ed every time his name was mentioned here.

Icardi just rejected Chelsea from what I heard, other top clubs WILL want him, its just that there is not much room for strikers in most top clubs right now.

Icardi for 110m or Balo for free?
Yeah, Id rather take chances in the striking department, where we still have plenty of quality without Higgy, and spend the 110m on midfield. Whats so mental about that?Besides Icardi/Wanda are far from model pro's themselves.

Say rather invest in midfield then? Because NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD EVER ACCEPT Balotelli in Juve, Icardi only negative might be the price, and if we sell Higauin, we can live with that negative if it comes to it, but even for free Balotelli is WALKING STINKING negative from top to bottom.



I say walking, because that what he litterally does on the pitch, he walks because he thinks he is too good to run for his teammates.

pretty much, yeah, I'd rather invest whatever we can come up with in midfield and if we desperately need a pure CF (and I think nah, we either rely on Mandzukic or replace him with a similar hybrid) so that Allegri can tinker with formations, bring on board a freebie/low cost guy like Balo.

I don't want him at Juve either and my expectations of him are 90% fail, 10% success, but if those 10% turns out like Euro2012 did, we've got the bargain of decade on our hands. Icardi simply is not worth 110m, especially if you're as poor as Juve and if your midfield is screaming for top players since summer 2016. if Balo fails, we get rid of him the next year and have fixed our midfield, if we purchase Icardi and neglect our midfield, we're relying on an unlikely miracle season from 1-2 of Can/Bentancur/Mandragora/Marchisio

Btw. Found this forza inter forum post to be quite good :D

"At this point I'm practically repeating myself but I think non-juve fans are too dismissive of Higuain. They joke about his weight and those famous misses for Argentina in the World Cup and Copa America finals, but I don't believe he's significantly worse than Icardi (that's not to say he's significantly better either.) Even though I don't want Higuain anywhere near our team, the guy is far more technical than Icardi, he's physically stronger, has a much greater range of goal-scoring and I'd even wager he'd beat Icardi in a sprint despite being about 6 years older and about 15kg heavier.

As for being a "big game choker", maybe that's fair. But I'm going to repeat that Icardi hasn't even been in a big match of that same level in his career. Icardi has a great record against juve but the Derby d"Italia is not what it used to be. In the past 5 years juve have been strolling to record-breaking titles and going far into the CL while we've been embarrassing ourselves finishing in and sometimes beneath Europa League spots. Big games are matches where there is something tangible on the line - a scudetto, a CL, a Coppa Italia, CL qualification. For the first time in years, this season was so great (and stressing at the same time) because we were competing for something tangible. And in that sense, Icardi had some absolutely dismal games when the pressure was on. See the derby against Milan (where we had the chance to seize 3rd spot outright) and the home loss to Sassuolo in particular. I'd say these matches were far bigger than any Derby d'Italia Icardi has played, and how did he perform? Even in the final match, thank god for that penalty, because he was horrendous otherwise. Oh, and that 1v1 miss in the first half after Cancelo put intercepted the ball and put him through on goal? His woeful shot was a carbon copy of Higuain's miss against Germany."

Wasn't our beloved JJM who wrote it though @Post Ironic

Why do people think you have to be supremely technically gifted to be able to help in the build up? The most important thing is you're strong (to hold the defender behind your back and stay on your feet) and not be a complete idiot with the ball at your feet to be able to spread passes to a free oncoming teammate. Llorente was excellent in the build up in the last Conte season because no one could come close to the ball when he shields it. Higuain is stocky but loses balance way too easily and takes a long time to control the ball and tries to do too much. Good first touch, shield the ball and spread it out to the first open teammate, nothing more.
They don't come much stronger than Lukaku and he sucks balls in the buildup. And Llorente had a very classy first touch pass. The difference with Icardi however is Llorente made himself available every time. Icardi is out there playing hide-and-seek with teammates like he does with Maxi Lopez' kids.

I didn't say every player is good in the build up ffs. Just said you don't have to be Messi to help your team. For what Allegri wants Icardi is a great fit.

No, he tries to break the offside trap and if it doesn't work he pins his defender and looks for a pass or cross.


Many good plays he makes on the ball with his passing. He is not special at it or whatever but also nowhere near just a box striker.

No, you said being strong and not a total goof were the most important things. Lukaku has both but he still majorly sucks...

And I could make Sturaro look like Messi on youtube, that doesn't say much. I like Icardi's sense for runs but his buildup play is not up to the standard we should be looking for if we offload Higuain.

It is great video to show that icardi is not merely a box to box striker

See there are two options before us if we want to sell higuain either icardi or morata
