Obinna Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 48 minutes ago, Cicero said: They might think he can play, but evidence shows they will pay that much for insurance. Example: Valentino Lazaro, bought for 22.4 million Euros in 2019 at 23 yrs old, played a total of 423 min for Inter in 2019/20, then did the loan merry-go-round for four seasons before being sold for 4 million to Torino. Still not the worst thing in the world, he played for some good teams on loan, made some good money I'm sure, but would not be the outcome we're all hoping for. I think a loan is a probable outcome if Dumfries doesn't get sold in the summer. If Cuadrado was 3 or 4 years younger this move probably never would have happened, but as it were he likely doesn't have that much left in the tank at 35. Still, even at that age he, plus Darmian plus Dumfries would be enough to send Tajon away on loan next season. The good news is that Darmian and Cuadrado aren't young enough to play another 3-4 seasons, sending Tajon on the loan merry-go-round in the event of a Dumfries extension. But that said, this is Inter Milan. There's always the chance some up-and-coming Italian gets scooped up, adding further competition. I guess in summary I would say we just have to hope Dumfries moves on in the summer. Until then, I am expecting 7-10 Serie A appearances from now until then, and maybe he gets into a UCL match. That's my best case scenario at the moment, which I feel is both fine and realistic. What say you guys? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Both starting wingbacks Darmian and DiMarco) taken off for Inter, but neither replaced by Tajon. Dumfries and Augsto brought on in a double swap.

A.D.I.D.A.S. Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Bets on how many minutes he get before March 23? Would surprise me if he doesn't get at least a full half vs Salernitana on Feb 16; they're dead last in the league right now.

kacbru Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I think the win today will be key to him seeing minutes. Bit more breathing room 4 pts up with a game in hand means they can comfortably rest players. dyslexic nam, Obinna, A.D.I.D.A.S. and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Saw one of the Inter twitter news pages say something like he needs to improve his Italian if he wants minutes because his lack of understanding makes it harder to scheme? Not great that the excuses are starting to come in. Still think this is part of the plan though. Corazon, NVsoccer and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I had Buchanan pegged for 7-10 Serie A matches this season. Gonna drop that down to 4-7. If Inter really start to pull away, it'll help I think. In the meantime, he's at a World Class club, one that I questioned whether they were of the standard of the likes Liverpool, Arsenal, Barca etc. No question in my mind now they belong in that tier, if not the Bayern, Real Madrid, Man City tier. And it's great to have a player in that environment, even if he hasn't managed to play yet.

Competing in each training session against hungry players for playing time on one of the world's top in-form sides? I'm not wringing my hands about his situation.

archer21 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 6 minutes ago, narduch said: They have Champions League mid week, so maybe he gets his shot in the league soon Yeah hopefully. The issue is, he’s #3 at his position. Minutes are already being split between Darmian and Dumfries so it’s not like they need to give those guys more rest. Hopefully he earns minutes soon though.

Did you see that video, Boateng, where he goes to AC Milan from England, is calling for the ball in play, and Pirlo comes up and tells him not to. It would sort of contradict that report about language (apart from being a great anecdote) johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So Juve lost 0-1 to Udinese today. A win by Inter in their next game will push the gap at the top to 10 points AND Inter are at home to dead last Salernitana....debut coming?
