You seem to be keenly interested in our affairs this season and have this air of hatred and resentment about you towards us...........what's your story, bro?

I wouldn't say I'm interested in your affairs... I just follow these team threads and often decide to post in here since I'd like to say a few things about your team that finally looks like they're going to win the league. You have a very strong team and I want to see how it all works out, because you could be a rival in the CL.

As for hatred, no, not at all. I'll explain the post you quoted:

1. I said the questions were retarded because they are. One of the questions was if Grosso would ask Mancini for a place in the team. But nevermind that.
2. As for the dream team thing, Barcelona has the best team in the world and they had to work their asses off to win something and be truly recognized as a dream team, and that recognition really came after the CL victory, so I guess I wanted to point out that your team isn't a dream team. Not yet at least. My team had to win two leagues and a CL before being fully recognized. You have a superstrong squad again, but a lot of hard work and a few titles away from being crowned with the title dream team.

 

[Harmsworth1]

I agree with you... I hope we are rivals in CL...

You mean this ey (Hihi... here is my present for you):



Definitely a nice lineup. Don't you thin tan Heroic Zlatan would be a bit, how shall I say, useless? King Recoba will surely do all his work, but at a slower pace however. I am a great fan of his, but, don't you think that because of his rather "fragile", if you permit me, athletic condition he might fail in some of his duties in mid-to-end season?

hmm....yeah, you make a good point about King Recoba and Heroic Zlatan having similar playing styles interms of being support strikers and not out-an-out pure goalscorers, but King Recoba differs from him in being more well rounded as an attacking footballer. You can virtually slot him in any of the offensive positions and he'd still find a way to not only adapt but also contribute.

Secondly, concerning his athletic abilities and injury proneness, I think he's more than an above average athlete. People just wrongly preceive him to be an unathletic footballer with good technique, but when he's on the ball, there aren't many who are faster than him in running with it with control and awareness. His injuries, they've been mostly hamstring and muscle strain related. There isn't much that can be done about a bum hamstring because they're really difficult to heal and hit a player randomly. You can do all the stretching and weights related exercises in the world and believe that you mended it, and then all of a sudden, BAM! The muscle becomes irritated again for unknown reasons.

Getting back to my lineup selection. It's based more on emotion and partiality than logic and reason. It's a pipe dream to ever expect Mancini to play with that many offensive minded players. I believe that he'll most likely have a two DM pair in Combover boy and Viera.


Anyway, thnx for placing my lineup on that wicked board, bro. It makes it look so professional and slick.

 

[Harmsworth1]

Yeah, Recoba is a good piece of quality... As i said, I am a great fanof his... I still remember the Vieri-Recoba chemistry (as a Milan fan would call it) which produced a large number of goals. I however would still like to see Zlatan play in.

You're one of the respectable Juve fans in this forum from what I've noticed so far. Thank you for the support, my fellow Juve fan.

Good luck to Juve in this coming season ! I'm sure Juventus will be back into Serie A one day.

 

[davidcfs]

Anyone else hearing the rumors of Recoba to Atalanta?

 

[yoyo913]

Yes, last year.

 

[RUSI]

Cambiasso could sub for Viera. You don't expect the latter to play the whole season i wish!

I can't believe you even consider playing Vieira as the only defensive minded player with 5 attacking players.

That is suicide. To be successful, Inter will have to play Vieira and Cambiasso. Cambiasso was you best player last season. I am suprised you guys even consider not playing him.

 

[Moratti1]

Man, watching that combo of Crespo and Zlatan just working out together gives me chills.

I also hope that Grosso grows his hair back ASAP, not feeling that short hair duo, lol...

I agree RUSI... I think playing a 5 player midfield will yield more success. Yes, you may not score as much as you would with a three player forward system, but you will most likely have more control of the game/posession which will lead to less pressure on the defense, which will equal less goal allowed.

I actually like the idea of a 3-5-2 with Cambiasso and Viera in the DMF role.

Agreed. Like it or not, is seems like what we're going to see next season is a conventional 4-4-2 with stanko, solari, figo, and cesar rotating on the wings. Mancini has tried a number of formations in preseason, but none have been too successful it seems.

To djperthglory: your comments are appreciated, it's too often that we let grudges get in the way of good sportsmanship. Best of luck this season.

As much as I despise Juve (Mostly because my brother is an a$$), I will most certainly miss the Inter and Juve classics. Not being sarcastic, it's going to be fun to see how badly Juve are going to beat most of the competition in seria B, perhaps many 5-0 games?

Are you a Juve fan? IUt cannot be... Those people are slime.... Sure your father Is not an inter fan? Because you have exceptional manners mate.

Don't mind me, bro. I love Combover boy, but I'm also a big two DM hater.......always have been. I also want Pizarro to be slotted in somewhere and given his fair chance this season.
