The Rumour Commode XLIV: Paragliding to Piolistine Crisis

[Swagotelli]

ESPN stopped being Sports Media some time back.

Speaking of espn

Jovic has by the way exceeded my expectations. Definitely better than Origi already.

He was out of shape initially but he’s worked hard after that and is clearly meshing well with the team. He’s been a good impact sub.

I just wish Piolito would abandon this 4-4-2 nonsense and play Jovic as the lone striker with Pulisic/Leao feeding him. Playing both Giroud and Jovic is limiting both lol. 4-4-2 is outdated.

Bro can you imagine Origi on the counter attacks that led to Chuk’s goal and Tomori’s chance that hit the post? He would have fired at goal the second he got the ball in both positions Jovic had it.

We had such a great transfer market and Pioli butchered the team. I can’t

 

[Swagotelli]

they know their audience

They do seem to go out of their way to avoid Serie A. People even call them out in comments. Sometimes they have stupid polls on YT like - which is the best league epl, la liga, bundesliga, MLS

this does not only apply to ESPN

majority of sports media is hardly paying attention to serie a. many still have the picture of empty stadiums, racism and unappealing football in their heads

 

[beegees]

Tell ESPN we have this thing called “algorithm”

hope they finally show some interest

 

[LemonCookies]

Unless I'm mistaken, ESPN doesn't have any rights to Serie A, so it makes less sense for them to plug a league they don't and can't show. They used to cover Serie A a lot more when they had the league on their streaming services. What's more embarrassing is CBS not covering Serie A much, because they're the ones with the rights

 

[AC_Wesley]

Today I discovered we didn't qualify for the EL

We need to play a playoff match to qualify for EL

The playoffs

 

[beegees]

don’t worry guys no one watch ESPN anyway wtf are we discussing about it for 100 pages

first of all most of u watch illegal streaming then don’t worry of espn.

also, in asia-middle east-africa region we only watch beinsport. No one watch espn and I dont think it’s available

Zhang is to remain at the helm of the club by obtaining a renewal of the loan from Oaktree or another fund, the president is willing to do so even at an exorbitant interest rate of 25-27%: the consequences would be all at Inter's expense - CDS



Fair play to Marotta I don't know how he puts up with this shit

at this point we can’t laugh at inter. They’re about to win the second star very soon while we can’t even beat udinese for decades

This is music. Beautiful music.

Allegri will never let that happen

 

[mrki]

Brilliant. Shame many don't see it.

 

[Neruda]

its just their way of coping .. anything to laugh at Inter while they dominate Italy

Is this official? I can't imagine Oaktree or another fund will allow Zhang to keep kicking the can down the road unless they have received some guarantees.

I mean it's still funny

They sell Onana and replace him with a GK on a free
They sell Lukaku and replace him with Thuram on a free
Barella is next probably

Marotta and Inzaghi are doing a hell of a job but doesn't make the circumstances any less grim

Can you imagine if Milan sold Tonali and 80% of the transfer funds went to pay off the owner's debts

I’m surprised also. It’s an insane rate and only a fool would sign on that. It’s clear he has no option, but doesn’t want to default on the loan out of hubris.

Marotta doing miracles. Without him they would be in a banter era.

But yeah, they’re staring at the abyss, financially.

The way jovic drives with the ball is amazing. He has the physique of a tank and the elegance of a ballerina. To add to that, his fundamentals are textbook. A serious coach could get an amazing output from him. My striker

His drive and decision-making on the chuk goal was beautiful. I’m glad he ignored leao and went to okafor.

 

[vB9]

Pioli product

175m player right fecking there man

 

[KujaIX]

I mean what kind of asinine thinking is this.

You could say the same about the CL Semifinals.

 

[vB9]

Leao is so wholesome

who is this?

 

[tonyb]

Why aren't we looking at Tosin Adarabioyo
6ft 5, too good for Fulham, been linked with Spurs and Inter in the summer.
Think he could even cover RB.
Looks like a mix of Thiaw and Tomori. One of the quickest CB's around.
Think he'd be a good deputy to Thiaw.

another moncada gem

algorithm working fine

 

[Nalim]

He does it playing 4 midfielders. Pioli does it with 2 or 3 max lol.

and Vinicius/Rodrygo aren’t pure strikers. I’m not against a 4-4-2 if we play Leao or Pulisic with Jovic/Giroud as part of the 2 strikers.

Pioli is playing 2 static strikers however. That doesn’t work anymore like it would in the 2000s

True. Was actually mostly teasing you. Jovic, however, has never worked as a lone striker. During his glory days at Frankfurt he always played as part of a strike partnership.

@Wild, @Qaas

you boys hear from ID3? not seen him in an age

 

[rossonero1]

The only way I see this playing out for Zhang if he wants to keep hold of the club & without actually ponying up money is that he just gives these funds minority stakes or some kind of rights in the club or profit Inter make.

 

[Nalim]

New-age Niang almost scuppered our hopes of proceeding to the knockout stage. Chukwueze took less than a minute of being on the pitch to show Rafael Niang levels. Get fit and do better next time, clown

He can now hopefully excel in the Europa league, a competition that’s more his level. Still, he’ll have inconsistent performances on a permafrost covered pitch somewhere in Siberia.

Hard to take criticism seriously from a guy who thinks Russian teams are allowed to compete in UEFA competitions.

The whole point of that post was to indicate how Rafael Niang would drop the ball against obscure opposition, whether they be from Kazakhstan or Georgia. Location was the least important thing. Keep supporting the bum though.
