Adriano in exchange for Lampard? - Page 11 - TalkSoccer

203 days without a goal for the lad, now. The Gazzetta is running a box with the number in bold type in virtually every issue.

I don't fukin understand what his problem is either. How can you go from the guy with that blistering shot two seasons ago, to this???

He has no confidence, and when you don't work hard, you get this.

Now granted, I did think he was slightly overrated to begin with, but what the hell??

Do you think he can play in the Premiership?

He is too overweight.

Adriano looks like he'll be the new Recoba the way he's going.

It's easy to jump on the band wagon and say he's this and that, but Adriano can be very good when he can be bothered.
I've said before that he maybe needs a change of league to get him going again.

I'd rather have Cassano than Ronaldo though.

Another case of Inter syndrome. Watch him become world class again once he leaves, like Cannavaro, R.Carlos, etc.

Cannavaro was already a world class player before he arrived. There is much speculation as to why he failed. Guess what I believe.

It could also be Juve syndrome, seeing Henry, Vieira and Zidane(i know he left great, but still) all left Turin.

He's going home, he's going home, he's going . . .

Inter have given Adriano at least a week off to go back to Brazil "to get his head together". He leaves on Tuesday, but won't be in the squad at Udine tomorrow.

I very much doubt he will be an Inter player after the January transfer window.

a) Cannavaro was 10x better at Juve than he was at Inter, as were many other players who have moved on. What a coincidence.
b) Your Zidane. Henry, Vieira comparisons r absolutely ridicolous.
- Zidane played excellent at Juve, unlike players at Inter who have moved on. Not to mention Juve made a world record transfer fee off him, and in turn bought numerous talent, 1 of which has become a Juve legend (Nedved).
- Henry was young, and never given the chance because he had greater talent infront of him, unlike Adriano at Inter.
- Vieira, thats just bollocks. He was at juve for 1 yr, and he was terrible for the majority of it. He isn't the player he was in the prem. No loss at all, especially considering Juve made a good transfer off him, and have found a better replacement in C.Zanetti. Vieira hasn't done anything world class with Inter. Probabaly because he hasn't played very much due to being suspended numerous times.

Whatever azzurri, I really fukin sick and tired of your jabs and such. I don't want to turn every thread in here to an Inter bash. Have some class if you have any mate. I don't have the time or the patience to debate you every fukin day. Grow up man.

Really getting on my nerves.

**azzurri** · 23-10-2006, 03:25 PM

Real mature Jager, deleting my post. Really petty, especially since u asked me if i had any class. Its ok for ppl to bash Juve, but not Inter. Real mature.

Dealing with the subject matter, Adriano will come back from his week long vacation in Brasil, play decently, and be sold in January at a loss, since i doubt many clubs would pay high with the slump he is in. I would keep him, as a new coach could potentially reingnite the flame inside. Mancini's trophy record has been pathetic thus far, and minus the CL, i dont c how his job can be secure.

Forza_Roma · 23-10-2006, 04:24 PM

Do i smell a Adriano/Cassano swap in January....Could be possible. Inter was on his tail before he went to Real...He could provide some creativity for Crespo, and Zlatan. Just my 2 cents! Hope you guys dont get Ronaldo instead...talk about being overweight...

**azzurri** · 23-10-2006, 04:30 PM

Cassano deserves playing time. Capello should know better than any1 what he is capable of. Adriano/Cassano swap is certainly better than Adriano/Ronaldo.

At first I believed this was a head problem but not so much anymore.

He is just not able to play in Italy, he was explosive with Parma and continued his form when he came back in January. Inter made him a celebrity, in turn lost form and got fat. Now, every run, touch he makes is painfully predictable, and defenders caught on to it, and I see the same happening with Ibrahimovic, who might I add has done absolutely dick, since joining Inter.

interista luigi · 23-10-2006, 10:53 PM

Azzuri, I don't understand how you can say Vieira was shit for a majority of last season.

You have stated countless times that, Juventus were the best team in Italy last season, and I couldn't agree more.

Now, you are telling me that a team can be the best with weak players, especially in the center of the pitch where Vieira and emerson together created hell for every opposing midfield.

That's turncoat bullshit, and when Ibra left, the same thing happened.
