Inter push Adriano to Parma Sunday 26 August, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Massimo Moratti and Roberto Mancini have publicly encouraged Adriano to accept a loan move to Parma.

It was reported this week that the two clubs had reached an agreement, but the Inter striker turned it down, hoping to fight for his place at San Siro.


“The loan would be the most intelligent solution for Adriano, who otherwise would sit here waiting,” noted President Moratti.


“It is the option preferred both by us and the player, so we will try to take that road. We are not pressuring him, but we are studying together what is the best situation so that he can feel at ease and get back to his best.”


The Brazilian is now fifth in the pecking order at Inter, as proved by Mancini leaving him in the stands for both the Italian Super Cup and today’s Serie A opener with Udinese.


“I know that Parma are interested, but I have not had a direct meeting with President Tommaso Ghirardi, so for the moment we have not reached any agreement,” added Moratti.


Coach Mancini has made it perfectly clear he does not want L’Imperatore cluttering up his choices and causing controversy.


“Adriano is a champion who, for a while now, has had a few problems,” said Mancio.


“I do not exclude his departure, because if he can resolve his issues by playing regularly without having to fight for a place, then it could be the best option for him and for us.”


Other clubs are willing to take him on loan, including Valencia and Sven Goran Eriksson’s Manchester City.


“The most important thing is that Adriano recovers and returns quickly to his best form, but we have been saying these words for a long time. We will see next week what will be the best course of action for him.”

!!clear sign they dont want him imo.

No we don't, and I really think this move would benefit Parma, and it would benefit us. You have nothing to lose, we have nothing to lose. Adriano has nothing to lose.

Everybody has everything to gain. Adriano should meet with the club. He can't move to another big team, since no one wants him now.

He can't play at Inter in his current form.

However, he needs to play to get back into form, to play.

Loaning him out to a Serie A team would make most sense as it would give him a chance to recapture his form in Calcio. Sellling him now would be a disaster, price wise. Loaning him to another league also makes little sense.

This would be a disaster for Di Carlo's tactics as he has spent the entire pre season building around Budan, I also don't think Ghirardi is the type to impose his will on managers doesn't make sense he went for Adriano after losing Rossi, they are two different players

If anything Budan needs someone to play off of him a la Obinna

If not we need a back up to the trident of Gasbaronni -- Budan -- Reginaldo we sorely missed that against Catania, as it was on fire in pre season!!
