Internazionale Main Thread III

[Lombardiamia]

Well well, it seems our good 'ol Shield changed forum and everything but enjoyed keeping the old liverfekkin'wankscum thing...loll.

Hey Dejan, have you changed idea about Mascherano? It's funny, but to a certain extent I believe Branca is a genius. He's let us waiting till the last days of the transfer season with nothing in hand so we see Mascherano as a good signing, and also spoon fed us with the Sculli issue so that we're all happy to get Kuyt. The guy's a genius!!

Unrelated. It wasn't so funny with Raiola fucking with Inter but it's hilarious when he's doing it to Barca haha.

Ibra to Man City, Robinho to Milan?
Thursday 26 August, 2010
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent warns a deal with Milan is “laughable,” so he could go to Manchester City, sending Robinho to San Siro.

Vice-President Adriano Galliani is still in Barcelona for negotiations, but concedes “a mountain of money” divides him from the player.

The Rossoneri want to bring him in on loan with an option to buy, whereas Barca have requested €30m plus Marco Borriello.

“Zlatan being loaned out would be shameful. You can’t loan someone like him,” slammed agent Mino Raiola in Tuttosport.

“If he were to leave Barcelona, it would be forever. A wage cut is also laughable, you can tell that you don’t know me. He has a four-year contract and my advice is for him to stay here.

“This is a fantastic club, FC Barcelona and not FC Guardiola. To give us a change of scenery, we’d need valid arguments. I didn’t give the all-clear for these negotiations.

“Galliani can talk to President Sandro Rosell all he likes, but when you step into a Rolls Royce dealership, you need to have the money.”

Ibrahimovic confirmed late last night after the Gamper Trophy that Coach Pep Guardiola had barely spoken to him for six months.

“Guardiola is not as precise and perfect as people think. He has problems with himself,” continued Raiola.

“He slammed the door on Ibra, who cost €70m last summer. He ought to have twice as much respect as he does for David Villa, who was bought for half that.

“Guardiola is inadequate, totally confused and Ibra cannot work well with him.

“Negotiations with Milan are very difficult, as the parties are a long way away from an agreement. It’s going to be a long week.”

If Milan are unable to provide the funds for Ibrahimovic, then there is an alternative that would suit all parties.

It’s reported in the Italian media that Manchester City will swoop for the Swede, in turn handing Robinho over on loan to the Rossoneri.

Robinho does not want to return to Eastlands and declared on Brazilian television this week: “I can say that I will play either in Italy or in Spain.”

Meanwhile, Guardiola hit back at Ibrahimovic in his Press conference.

“I am a communicative person, so if I haven’t spoken to Ibra, there is a reason. This is not the moment to explain why, but one day I will,” said the Coach.

“If on August 31 he is still with us, it’s my duty to get him back into the squad. In that case, I’ll take him to one side and talk things through.”

Couple more points;

1. CL draw is tonight. If we draw Madrid, confirmation of fixed draws is confirmed.

2. We've got 13 Italian internationals in the U-19 and U-17 squads. And probably 4-5 in the Prima. Scouts are doing their job..

3. Seems like Burdisso is going to Juve for 8 mil and not Roma.

Are there any other sites other than the Sun that talks about the Mascherano deal. I don't trust the Sun, its full of crap all the time. And it seems odd to me that Branca comes out suddenly and says that we have made a bid of Masch. With all we have seen of him, it is so unlike him to say anything voluntarily.

What a disgrace though this is for Ibra. He wanted the club who 'plays the football of 2015', wanted the CL, golden ball........now after just one year, he's returning with his tail between his legs to Milan....after that his old club just won his much awaited CL trophy and a player of that club is awaiting his ballon d'or trophy.. I've never hated the guy, but honestly one cant really hold himself from laughing at this turn of events.

[Totally FRANK]

What a group. Inter, Werder Bremen, Tottenham Hotspur, Twente.

I was hoping to get Tottenham to kick some British ass. All the teams are good so we'll need to work hard to win the group but we can surely win it. Good that we did not draw Real Madrid.

[Totally FRANK]

And a clean sweep on the trophies as well. Cesar, Maicon, Sneijder and Milito.

Milito with the World Footballer of the Year. Congrats lads.

Zanetti: 'Rafa and Mou poles apart'
Thursday 26 August, 2010
Javier Zanetti admits Jose Mourinho and Rafa Benitez “are at different poles in terms of personality, but they both make Inter win.”

The captain is looking forward to his fifth trophy of 2010 when taking on Atletico Madrid for the European Super Cup tomorrow evening.

“Mourinho and Benitez are at different poles in terms of personality. They are total opposites. What unites them is the end result: they both make Inter win.

“With Benitez the defence is higher, we raise the tempo and keep hold of the ball. Believe me, these are details. What counts is the context,” he told La Stampa.

“Mourinho just has his way and wherever he goes, he will always be true to himself. An extreme defender, sometimes over-the-top, of the club that pays him.

“Like it or not, that is what he’s like. Nature gave him the privilege of quick wit and that is a rare privilege indeed.”

Benitez already started on the right foot by beating Roma 3-1 for the Italian Super Cup next week and Zanetti expects a second helping.

“The more you eat, the hungrier you get. We put away the first plate, the Italian Super Cup, and tomorrow it’s time for Atletico Madrid.

“They are a great side and can boast Diego Forlan, the best at the 2010 World Cup.”

Zanetti also commented on the increasing likelihood ex-Inter star Zlatan Ibrahimovic will return to San Siro for rivals Milan.

“I am surprised. When he left us for Barcelona, I expected him to stay there for a long time. Never mind!

“It’s an issue of personality. I am someone who gets really tied to a club, whereas Zlatan is not.

“The Scudetto challengers are the usual suspects. Roma, Milan especially if they sign Ibra, and Juventus.”
============================

the players can tell the difference between a winner and a loser already.

Branca confirmed the interview in the Sun about the 20mil+ offer saying that it was 13mil plus Muntari and both Liverfekkin'wankscum and Muntari rejected it. Now they say it will difficult to bring him in with straight cash. Also Kuyt says his future is with Pool so it looks like we're basically back to where we started.

PS. Clean fuckin sweep of all the trophies for the boys. Cesar, Maicon, Sneijder and Milito. What a year that we'll most likely never get to see again.

Finally a British writer accepts that their club is much inferior when compared to an Italian club. I want us to beat Tottenham both home and away.

Encounter with Inter fuels Tottenham's Champions League adventure

Tottenham are alone among the four Premiershit clubs in having a Champions League group they can really savour

Wesley Sneijder Inter midfielder Wesley Sneijder draws Tottenham's name out of the bowl.

The leading English clubs would be aghast at any suggestion of adventure in the group phase of the Champions League. With Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal among the top seeds, none of their managers was ever likely to be stifling a gasp of anxiety at the draw.

Tottenham Hotspur, who last savoured the competition 48 years ago in its European Cup incarnation, would have been alone in feeling the pulse quicken though it accelerated further when they were pitted against the holders, Internazionale. The Serie A side also landed a domestic Double.

They were so effective under José Mourinho, before he left for Real Madrid, that there seldom seemed to be a instant when one trophy or another was not being cradled. The sort of acceleration that sweeps Tottenham towards such an encounter is hair-raising but also welcome since nobody can be jaded at the thought of Inter, now managed by Rafael Benítez, coming to White Hart Lane.

Their squad is so remarkable that it is virtually a caricature of excellence. At the draw in Monaco, the club continued to gorge itself on honours, with the prizes for goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward of the year going, respectively, to Júlio César, Maicon, Wesley Sneijder and Diego Milito. Benítez has a little less scope to introduce new blood since Mario Balotelli, who did not get off the bench in the 2010 final, has gone to Manchester City.

The greater comfort for Tottenham lies in the fact any club might be compelled to proclaim the excitement of such fixtures while shrugging ruefully in private. When Harry Redknapp does tear his gaze from Inter, he will not be especially pleased to see one of the other adversaries in the group. Werder Bremen eliminated Sampdoria in the qualifiers.

Twente Enschede, however, may have peaked by taking their first Eredivisie title and with Steve McClaren having then moved on to Wolfsburg, the side is now under the command of Michel Preud'homme. It is at least feasible that Tottenham can go through to the last 16 as runners-up in their group.

Once thoughts have been wrenched away from Inter, the mood may be sunnier at White Hart Lane since the remainder of the fixtures are less daunting.

Inter suck horse cock. Without a charismatic coach like Mancini you can't attract any players to your shitty club. Look at how they're flocking to Mancini at ManCity, though - because everyone loves him and knows what a fabulous coach he is. If you don't get him back quickly you're fucked and Inter will be relegation fodder before very long.
