The only surprise was the poor quality signings we made(apart from Gourcuff). We are signing far too many over the hill players, it wouldn't be so bad if they were any good...

you should have noted Ibra from stikers.

Come on Ibra??????

We should wait and see before we label him as someone that can be effective

That Inter sqaud is q good I feel. our mideifeld is considerably better, but they have better strikers, and, probably better a tthe back now, just. Samuel is awesome in my view, should get him as our next CB, and grosso looks as idf hell b influential. Either way, they'll win Serie A I think.

You're joking right? Please tell me you are.

I'm sure that they aren't going to win serie A, you'll see them messing up, and I already have a bet on stand-by with Portugal (he has to accept it that it) that by mid-season we would have passed them in the table. You'll see, how they will mess it up, it's inevitable.

Oh and Grosso is a joke, he only seems like something special because of 3 incedents in the world cup other then that he is bad at defending and even worse at going forward

OK you know I don't like Grosso but you just lower him too much ... he had a great WC, it wan't just "3 incedents" or what but other than that he's a pretty decent sub IMO!!!!

And saying he is a pretty DECENT SUB is not lowering him?

I just don't like the way he 'defends' it's pityful he almost never manages to win the ball and he does't even cross the ball with a lob it's always crossing the ball across the ground.
And when I hear people saying that Inter made a great move by getting him I just have to laugh

I was just referring to the WC issue; In Germany for once in his life he stared greatness straight in the eyes!!!

Yeah I know that you where referring to the WC.

But saying that he is a pretty decent sub and me saying the he is not good is pretty much the same thing

yes it is!!

Good another thing we agree on

No, I wasn't, and am not, joking. As a Milan fan, naturally, I want us to win the title, and more so given certain players retirement, however, it does not stop me from thinking calmly and rationally.

Inter made a number of excellent signings. There squad is massively improved. In contrast, we have lost 3 of our most important players, of era-defining quality. We have not replaced any of them adequately. We are considerably weaker now.

If that wasn't enough, the momentum, and for the first time in years, the belief is with Inter that this is their year, no more self-doubting. I cannot beleive anyone in our squad is optimistic.

Finally, as if they not only have a very strong team now that will be more than a challenge to cope with, we have an 8-point penalty. We may find that we would have won without such a penalty, becuase the season will be close, but with it, no, I'm afriad it's extremely hard.

When have Inter EVER had a bad team? They always shell out a lot of cash before the season starts but always come up short. And normally after the summer signings a lot of bookies tip them as the favourites to win the championship, but what do they do? they come in third. And it's not because Juve where cheating it's because they manage to screw it on their own, like own goal, defence mix ups that let team like Messina, and Cagliari hold the to a draw or evev beat them. Last season when they beat us in our first tie they where in 2nd place at the time and we where going through a very difficuilt period and they managed to hold on to 2nd place for a while, but then we found our form and we where steam rolling through everyone and when they saw this they began to stumble and not only managed to lose 2nd place but drift away from us by more then 10 pts by losses and draws against small teams. It's in their nature to underachieve and I'm sure that they won't dissappoint thjis time round even if they got 3 good players, which I don't really think will make a big impact at Inter

The man said it!

Im posting my team until now, i was quite busy with the work and school he, but well here it is , it juts have a quite difference with the defense , due that i prefer bonera on the right ans serginho on the left, sergio is more faster now that cafu, and the can use his offensive potencial , and also use bonera's exellent tackle.

Bonera--------Nesta--------Maldini--------Serginho

------Gattuso-------Pirlo---------Seedorf
(Brocchi) (Ambrosini) (Gourcuff)

-------------Inzaghi-------Oliveira

Favalli is a Lefty so he should be under Janku.

I too prefer Serginho to Cafu' he has better speed and still doesn't seem like he is on the wrong side of 30 by the way he makes those lightning runs. But both are ole so the best way to use them is to interchange every couple of games or depending on the opponents we are playing

yes, they cannot play top level all season anymore, and less cafu
