Stankovic? (31 Viewers)

[Quetzalcoatl]

d'alessandro you should stop playing so much football manager mate

What's wong with him? Haven't seen him recently, but a few seasons ago he looked great. He can't be any worse than Stank, can he?

Anyway, i was just brainstorming for random players who would be better alternatives to Stank. Obviously not all would work out.

Top post Alen, covered it all.

Stankovic used to be one of my favourite players back in Lazio. It's interesting to see how the same people who wank over Tiago as soon as he makes an assist, are opposed to us getting Stankovic. Dejan as at least as good technical and playmaking abilities, while adding that with the things Tiago lack. Determination, strength and versatility.

Some say he would hinder Giovinco's development. Sure, he's mostly been used as a left sided midfielder or in a more advanced role at Inter, but he made his breakthrough at right midfield at Lazio, forcing Conceicao off to Parma. He then softened the blow of losing Nedved and Verón by moving around the midfield (with the help of Fiore) brilliantly.

Dejan is actually much like Camoranesi in that they both thrive under responsibility, and are easily pushed out of mental balance. Whenever they play with confidence in a functioning team, they are world class. Buy Alonso, make Dejan tick and suddenly we have a midfield and attack that can challenge for titles on several fronts.

Well considering he now plays for San lorenzo in agrentina pretty much tells you all you need to know.
You can't recomened a player you saw a few seasons ago, this is now not then.

Oh yeah, I forgot he moved, oops.

Some seem to be recommending the Stank of the past anyhow.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I ask again, what do you expect from Juve next season (serie A standing and CL)? What do you think we should aim for realisitcally?

good post. Apart from the fact that he is an interista and has had an hard/poor season, the only bad thing I would say is his age. if he was 25-27 I would take him in a flash for 10mil

Chiellini and Nedved talked good about Stankovic, well, if those players want Stankovic, we've got to follow them!

Stankovic: YES (with x.alonso)

 

[Bjerknes]

You know Andy, i sometimes think people really don't use their own heads. You, i and few more have been talking and talking for weeks now but people still claim he's an awful player.

We both know it all has to do with the fact he plays for Inter Nothing else. It doesn't matter how poorly or how well the player plays, they won't pay him the time of day because he's an Inter freak. We all get it - we hate Inter. But Stankovic is not a friggin' synonym for Inter FFS.

The guy had a very bad half season. It's 4 months actually. He suffered an injury (i believe the first one in his career that kept him out for more than a month) and he simply couldn't make a good comeback. He was bad.
But why does everyone say that he's an awful player is really beyond me ?

The guy was a star everywhere he played. He was an integral part of Lazio's all time best team. He was a starter in Inter's best team in the last 20 years. If you guys mention the awful 4 months he had last year why don't you also mention his terrific season before that ? His price was easily 20m eur only 18 months ago.
He's been playing with great succes in serie A for 10 years already, he was winning with both Inter and Lazio. He won 3 scudetti (no, i'm not counting the one they stole from us), 4 coppa italia, 4 super coppa italia, uefa cup, cup winners cup, european super cup and he was always one of the best (except last season).
And the guy is not 30 yet.

78 matches in European cups (64 in CL) and 17 goals there (8 in CL), versatile and runs for 3 players.
Wanted by Moggi because he offers so much.

Don't you guys understand that we don't need only bodies for squad depth ? We need quality replacements.
Yeah, Xabi is of course my choice. But if we do buy Xabi then buying Stankovic will be another terrific move.

Nedved-Xabi-Sissoko-Camoranesi

Giovinco-Zanetti- xxx- Stankovic.

We can rest our main players and when we'll replace them we'll still have amazing players on the pitch.
That's what's needed to do good in serie A. We won't have to play the striker Palladino, the DMC Nocerino, the full back Salihamidzic or the injured Marchionni as wingers.

Hate the guy if you want. I don't like him either. I don't like him at all, actually. But he's quality and that's exactly what we need.

Alen, I hardly doubt many people here remember that Lazio side that won the Scudetto back in 2000. Even though the midfield consisted of Mancini, Veron, Nedved and Simeone, Stankovic came off the bench and played a vital role in winning the whole thing. He was also the leader of the team once all those top players left. There is absolutely NO argument against this player when comes to quality on the pitch, sheer determination and honors won. To even begin to doubt his quality based on half a season is extremely foolish, but foolishness is very much like termites in your house within these boards.

Stankovic can play anywhere across that midfield four and will be the first player called upon if Camoranesi or Xabi Alonso goes down.

This case right here is pretty much the same reason why people would say no to Lampard or Gerrard - because they're English.

I am no fan of Stank either, but really, people are looking foolish here doubting his quality. Blast him as an Inter player, not as a player, please.

Not a distant past. Only 1 year ago (and the previous 8 years) he's been great.
Gattuso, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Zambrotta...all of them had very bad seasons. If you say Stankovic is awful because he played awful from February-May then you must admit that Ronaldinho and Pirlo are also awful.

@ ledje if those players jumped off a cliff would you follow them?

 

[Ledje]

Words of Ranieri, Chiellini and Nedved are preparing us for Stankovic.
Next who will talk is Del Piero. You'll see
In a week we're going to buy Stankovic, and, I think.

Stankovic in = Xabi out.

@ ledje if those players jumped off a cliff would you follow them?

OMG. Those players know what they're saying, they both are important players, and 100% juventinos. Seems that all Inter players are bad quality :s?

I hate INTER, it's a shit team, but...

Stankovic will add more things, give us more options on midfield..

AND the fact that our players doesnt have any problems if we sign him ..

I will support every player who wears our jersey .

 

[Bjerknes]

Stankovic in = Xabi out.

What was that?

 

[Alen]

And it's hillarious how things evolve.

Juve want Stankovic but....

1. Stankovic plays for Inter - he's a bad player
2. Stankovic talked shit about Juve- OMG, he's an awful player
3. Juve fans write petitions against Stankovic - Of course they do, he's the worst player ever.
4. Nedved and Chiellini say he's a great player - Stankovic isn't so bad to be honest

My predictions.....
5. Del Piero says Stankovic is a great adition to the team - Yeah, Stankovic is a very good player
6. Stankovic plays very good for Juve - I always knew we should have bought him. He's a great player.

Talking about using their own heads.

 

[Luca]

I think that its blatently obviouswe are getting stank, they used the same tactic when we brought Amauri

 

[Alen]

What was that?

Actually, that's something that makes me worried.
I really fear that buying another midfielder (Stankovic) may result with not buying Xabi Alonso.

Blanc didn't lie last year when he talked about the profile of the players we'll buy and he didn't lie when he said that the mercato is over in July.
Now he said that we'll buy only 1 midfielder and a reserve keeper. :frown:

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

No, not because he plays for inter.

interisti who I would accept at Juve-Samuel, Maicon, Chivu, Balotelli, Adriano, Cambiasso

interist I wouldn't accept (either because they're shit or scum)-
Stankovic, Materazzi, Burdisso, Cordoba, Vieira

Lol of course Alen, that's the way it always is. See Sissoko and Liverpool.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

If he proves to be a good transfer, I would be very happy. Until then...

I could almost guarantee this happening, its become our trend to stop buying when we say we will. And it seems to me that it is stank and not xabi on his way here to juve.

Well, Nedved was pretty much the same age when he joined us. Not saying that Stankovic will win us the golden ball, but then again, he's also much cheaper.

And on the Interista thing; Two rival companies want you, a young engineer, to work for them (say, Skoda and Fiat). The boss at Skoda is an old friend of yours, otherwise, these two are pretty much the same in your eyes - so you go to your friend's company. You enjoy your job and the wage until one day, when they tell you you're no longer wanted.

Fiat still have faith in you and want to employ you. Do you think the employees and stock owners of Fiat will dislike you for ever working for their rivals? Won't they consider you an incredible asset instead, with all that experience of yours? Working in a successful company alongside skilfull people is considered a merit everywhere in the world. I don't see why this is any different.
