ahahaha, wow. You basically robbed him completely blind. Was bad enough before, but adding on Mammana? Dear god.

10/10 raping Stain, I thought you worked a miracle with that insane Sane + everyone deal.

You need to work on your attitude, RS. This is why people won't do deals with you i think. lel

I've learnt from the best. Cavani+20 etc. lolzybolzy
At that time the only club that actually had money was Damien. Everyone else was poor as feck so 20m was actually a big deal. It's not like it is now where you get 10m for farting and Cavani is at least still 94 rated.

You just swapped two players that won't rise much more than where they're currently at for a player who's probably off to a big club this Summer and already 92 rated (same age as the two you P/E'd). Along with that you took off him for the lols one of his best youth players. Seriously in the grand scheme of things and how the transfer system is right now, you absolutely toasted the poor guy. Like absolutely shat on his head, smeared it on his face and then pissed in his ear.

Well played!

Agree to disagree. Kramer has higher potential in him. Won't surprise me if a bigger club comes in for him in the summer. Soriano is off to Inter in the summer most likely and will get a 90 just because of that.

For the rest of the post well that's just cruel. RS, the big meany.

Happened with Kondogbia. Soriano has been very good this season.
No, he rose to 90 in December when he had a good opening to the season. He didn't rise by joining the club. Soriano isn't going to be shifting Icardi anytime soon (unless Icardi is sold). Heck Inter won't even be in the CL next season! Not even Leverkusen is guaranteed to be in the CL next season because they're having a shit season too.

Anyway, i'm applauding your skills sir.

Ye, i agreed with Damo. Jebus. Soriano won't fight it out with Icardi. Different positions, innit.

He's been playing primarily at CM this season but can play anywhere in midfield. Either flank or behind the striker.

Surely Inter will get rid of Medel/Melo.

Nah Medel is an important player, he's their defensive shield. They've been using Medel and Brozović as their deep midfielders and it's worked well for them as Brozović chips in with a steady flow of goals. That's why Kondogbia isn't a starter, he's paired up alongside Medel in the games when they need a bit more defensive grit. Eder plays in front of those two in the hole. The only starting hole in their team is on the right.

First season syndrome. I've followed Kondogbia's progress throughout the season on the Inter forum. General consensus is that he's their best passer but he needs more confidence, he's making the simple passes more often than not and they want him to be more expansive with it.

Interesting team Inter, really. Mancini should be doing better me thinks. On the other hand, Juve/Napoli/Roma are decent. Milan are trying to instill some youth as well. Serie A is finally on the up again.

Problem with Kondogbia is that he simply doesn't prove enough goal threat. Playing Brozović gives Inter that. Always handy having a player in that position chip in with 10 goals a season. Kondogbia would probably end up being Medels long term replacement if he ever leaves.

I've been impressed with Brozo. He only has 3 in the league but i see what you're saying. Kondogbia isn't supposed to be a goal threat. He could chip in with more assists if anything.

6 in all comps and will probably score a few more by the time the seasons done. Handy output for a player in his position. I'm not sure sure what to think of Serie A quality, I've not watched any of their games in a while but given how bad Juve were at the start of the season and they're now 3 points clear of top makes me think that it's not all that at all. Not as bad as Ligue 1 but i'd have it between Ligue 1 and Bundesliga.

Juve have been relentless since then. Just grinding out wins. Napoli have done superbly to still be in contention. Definitely better than Ligue 1 but has some ground to make up on BuLi. Think Serie A is more competitive but doesn't quite have the same standard of overall teams.

You should easily score past that defence.

Damn, should have kept Kramer and used him in an exchange for Neymar.

:lol: Also this has nothing to do with transfers as Stain knows. I've been putting off leaving for over 6 months now, rather leave now before a Season has started, was going to leave earlier but realised that if I did it would (I think) cancel the loans. So decided to wait till after Matchday 1 so it gives those that have loaned Forest players time to resubmit.
