Internazionale Main Thread III

[Totally FRANK]

I fail to understand why Milan need him. Even if they end up selling Ronaldinho where is he going to fit in? Anyway, not our problem I guess.

Report: Milan strike Cassano deal

Yeah I heard about this. Doesn't make sense to me either. Looks like they are trying to out buy us in the race to the scudetto. This upsets me.

[Lombardiamia]

I'd be extremely happy to see Cassano going to Milan. With him, Ibra & robinho that dressing room becomes a time-bomb ready to explode. I expect that to happen next season though not so soon. Now all they need is Balotelli...

[Messinterista]

lol Balo, not to mention Dinho isn't the most stable of characters. Still quite disappointed that we ain't going to be getting Cassano.

CL draw: Inter set for Final re-play

Inter will play Bayern Munich in a re-play of last year's Final, Milan travel to London to face Tottenham and Roma brace the cold in Ukraine against Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Italian teams were among the first out of the hat and the draws for the last 16 of the Champions League whet the appetite.

Roma are perhaps the happiest of the Serie A representatives, although Shakhtar's European pedigree was illustrated two seasons ago when they won the UEFA Cup.

Milan will be wary of Tottenham after what they achieved at San Siro and White Hart Lane against the holders Inter in the group stages.

But perhaps the most intriguing tie of all is that pairing last year's winners Inter with the runners up Bayern Munich.

The German giants have already lost on Italian soil this season, throwing away a 2-0 lead to suffer a 3-2 defeat at Roma.

The first legs will be played on February 15/16/22/23 with the second legs on March 8/9/15/16.

Champions League draw
Roma vs Shakhtar

Milan vs Tottenham

Valencia vs Schalke

Inter vs Bayern Munich

Lyon vs Real Madrid

Arsenal vs Barcelona

Marseille vs Manchester United

FC Copenhagen vs Chelsea

Kinda worried about this one. Bayern although have been having a bad season in the Bundesliga so we do have a chance. Considering we are playing in Feb means we should have a stronger team since then and actually got back into some form.

[Totally FRANK]

MI, it could have been so much worse. We avoided the two English clubs and most importantly the two Spanish one's. I think we have a good chance if we have all our players fit and add a couple a players in the January window.

[Messinterista]

Don't get me wrong, there wasn't any easy matches except for Copenhagen, Shakhtar/Marseille (to a certain extent). I actually would have preferred Valencia, but yes, if we are at full strength by Feb we have a really good chance.

[Lombardiamia]

I'm just happy we avoided the Spanish clubs. All of them would have been extremely though. Bayern are practically having the same season we are so it will all come down to what form both teams are in next february. Inter vs Bayern though sure brings back some fantastic memories....too bad Demichelis aint playing much anymore...

[juventino_italiano]

I do think actually that this year's Bayern team is weaker than last year's....
Inter have a hell of a shot...

Don't forget lads, Bayern may be having a bad start like us, but Ribery and Robben are back and when they vs us they will be back in form. Also we beat a Ribery less Bayern in the Champions league final. Not that I am taking anything away from that performance or our chances in the upcoming fixtures.

[Messinterista]

We are the number one team in the world!!! (Well Technically). Good to see this win. Another 3-0 performance with two of the goals coming from unusual sources (Pandev and Biabany). We probably didn't play as well as we did against Seognam, but a win is a win. Milito didn't have a good game, suppose he is still coming back. Despite this, its good to see we have back to back wins, the team should be a lot more confident than they have shown this season and we'll see if this directs us to a better half of the season.

Bravo Rafa!!

Benitez una furia: "Promesse estive non mantenute. Ora o comprano o parlino col mio procuratore"

Fonte: calciomercato.com
Rafa Benitez è una furia dopo la conquista del Mondiale per Club. Il tecnico spagnolo ha attaccato pesantemente la scelta della società di non fare mercato in estate e ha lanciato un vero e proprio ultimatum: "Il Mondiale per club era un appuntamento fondamentale, lo abbiamo centrato e adesso ci deve dare la spinta per il resto della stagione. Questo è un momento di felicità, ma non si può andare avanti così perché ho bisogno del supporto al 100% della società. Quando sono arrivato, la società mi aveva promesso tre acquisti per costruire una squadra ancora più forte, invece non è arrivato nessuno. Sono un professionista serio e merito rispetto per il mio lavoro. Adesso ci sono tre possibili strade: la società fa un progetto e compra 4 giocatori subito a gennaio; andiamo avanti così con l'allenatore come unico colpevole; oppure il presidente parla col mio procuratore e troviamo un'altra soluzione...".

Attacco anche sugli infortuni: "Ci sono delle cause precise, a partire dall'età avanzata della squadra. Poi negli ultimi due anni i giocatori sono stati spremuti e non è stato seguito un programma di lavoro in palestra. Questi sono i risultati".

Tra le dediche, spicca il riferimento ai soli tifosi e giocatori dell'Inter. Nessun accenno a Moratti e alla società: "Non era una partita facile perché tutti ci davano come sicuri vincitori. Avevamo diversi giocatori stanchi, così ho deciso di tenere in panchina Stankovic. Abbiamo giocato bene, tenendo un buon possesso palla. Dedico questo trofeo alla mia famiglia e a tutti quelli che mi hanno aiutato, compresi i giocatori ed i tifosi dell'Inter, ma anche quelli del Liverfekkin'wankscum con cui avevo perso la finale".

[Messinterista]

Niiiiice Rafa. He is showing that he has balls and is taking it to Moratti. 4 players in January? This will be interesting.

[Bagg10]

It's nice to see that Rafa has balls to go with that vagina-face.

Moratti: 'I won't talk about Benitez'

Inter President Massimo Moratti has declared Rafa Benitez’s statements were “poorly-timed. For the moment I won’t talk about Benitez.”

The Coach used his Press conference after the 3-0 Club World Cup triumph over Mazembe last night to demand four new signings at the start of the January transfer window or he’d walk away.

This afternoon Moratti was asked if the comments had ruined Inter’s party.

“No, for the moment no,” was his response. “The statements were poorly-timed in this situation, but at this moment the Inter fans are happy.”

The patron was also asked about the tactician’s future at the club, but remained tight-lipped.

“For the moment I won’t talk about Benitez.”

Dejan and Materazzi aern't too happy with Benitez atm either. He seems to still be rubbing key people at this club the wrong way. I'm worried for him.

2 or 4 players, who will they be?

1. Ranocchia? Has to happen.
2. Cassano? I doubt. Milan Bound. Still crying over this...
3. Ledesma? I highly doubt. Lazio playing too well to let anyone go. Also, he is 'Italian' now. His value in the Serie A would have sky rocketed.
4. Lucas? I doubt Liverfekkin'wankscum will sell anyone to us. I wouldn't want him anyway.
