The Inter Milan Thread [2006/2007]

^^^hurhurhurhur.........what an excellent comparison there, bro. But you've gotta admit though, Ince was even more fierce and insane especially when it came to divers and arguing with the refs.....the dude revelled in contentious atmospheres and getting carded.


In another life, Ince would've made for an awesome NFLer or Rugby player.

NFLer???? Lol, did you just make that word up? Lol, I know what you mean, but I don't think I have ever heard that before and I love the Gmen!

I wanted to know what you meant with Gmen out of boredom, so I googled it, but I got a little worried man

Awww I wish I could watch this game

Inter will field their full strength squad

it will be interesting to see what squad Mancini will play

I'll go with a 4-4-2, with 2 wingers and 2 centre mids

 

[Harmsworth1]

Yes, extremely accurate!

 

[TheBlueBalla]

How are Dacourt, Vieira, Cambiasso, Stankovic and Pizarro going to share 2 places?

 

[yoyo913]

Stankovic is a winger as well, he is going to be needed in that position alot.

Dacourt is a back up and so is Pizarro.

Strikers: Adriano, Hernan Crespo, Julio Cuz, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alvaro Recoba

No martins? I guess his time is coming to a close.

MALLORCA: PIZARRO RETURNS TO ITALY

MALLORCA - The Nerazzurri finished off their preparations for tonight's Pirelli Trophy match against RCD Mallorca (kick-off at 22:00) with a morning training session of warm-up, ball possession and tactical exercises, and some shooting practice. David Pizarro did not take part in the training session. With the permission of Roberto Mancini and the club, the Chilean midfielder has flown back to Italy to follow his transfer situation.

transfer situation ??

 

[jim]

He is, reportedly, very close to a move to roma.

To TBB: If Pizzaro leaves that means only viera, cambiasso, and dacourt will be rotating for the central mid positions with Stanko filling in as needed. Which is no worse of a logjam than the one at Chelsea between Makelele, Ballack, Lampard, and Essien.

Midfielder David Pizarro has switched to Roma on a four-year deal.

Pizarro had looked set to stay at Internazionale after refusing an offer from Roma, with Luciano Spalletti even admitting defeat in his quest to bring the Chilean to the Stadio Olimpico.

However, Pizarro has had a sudden change of heart and decided that his future does belong in The Eternal City.

Reports suggest that he left Inter's training camp in Mallorca to travel to the Italian capital and hold talks with Roma bosses.

His first season at Roma is to be classed as a loan, before a permanent move can be completed next summer.

The clubs have already agreed a fee, believed to be in the region of €6 million (£4.1 million).

Farewell David, you never really got a fair chance to be honest. Good luck in Rome.
