Yeah that’s true but I forget who’s it was. Last season I think Icardi was made captain despite the Inter fans hating him and they ended up protesting about it at games with big banners and all. Don’t know their opinions on him now but he’s been a prolific goalscorer for them for the past three years.jrgbfc wrote:Noticed he seems out of favour with Argentina. What's all that about?

Not just a teammate. Maxi Lopez. His childhood idol. Hes now married to Lopez ex and mother of his kids. Lopez is mates with Messi. So unlikely he will play for them. Italy should do what they can to get him to play for them. He is eligible but has turned it down to date.jrgbfc wrote:Noticed he seems out of favour with Argentina. What's all that about?

Outstanding player. He, Icardi, Candreva and Handanovic would get in most premier league sides.CoolClaret wrote:I've always been impressed with Perisic whenever I've watched him play
Candreva is a wonderful player.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Outstanding player. He, Icardi, Candreva and Handanovic would get in most premier league sides.
Not strictly true. SPAL down the bottom held Juve last night. First time Juve havent scored in two years.Vegas Claret wrote:Decent player. Take Juve and Napoli out of Seria A and you have the bottom half of the Championship though.
Not really, when you consider Atalanta humped Everton 8-1 over two legs in the Europa League. Granted Everton have been gash, but I can’t really see Burton doing that.Vegas Claret wrote:Decent player. Take Juve and Napoli out of Seria A and you have the bottom half of the Championship though.

to be fair I didn't expect anyone to take me 100% literally ! There are 4 or 5 decent teams and two top teams, other than that the standard is rubbish compared to what it used to becricketfieldclarets wrote:Not strictly true.

Roma are a very good team. Hammered chelsea in the champions league. Inter, Lazio and Milan would all be top half in the prem.

My thoughts exactly.TsarBomba wrote:Not really, when you consider Atalanta humped Everton 8-1 over two legs in the Europa League. Granted Everton have been gash, but I can’t really see Burton doing that.
Too many draws. Theyve drawn 10 or 11 games. Oh and I backed them.RVclaret wrote:What happened to Inter running away with the league, ccc?
Yes true. I watched the Inter v Napoli game recently and was surprised at how reluctant Inter were to get forward.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Too many draws. Theyve drawn 10 or 11 games. Oh and I backed them.
Inter still have to play Juve and with a european run in who knows.RVclaret wrote:Yes true. I watched the Inter v Napoli game recently and was surprised at how reluctant Inter were to get forward.
It will be an interesting end to the season, really hope Napoli can knock Juve off their throne!
This is absolute bobbins seeing as he's already played for Argentina.cricketfieldclarets wrote:... So unlikely he will play for them. Italy should do what they can to get him to play for them. He is eligible but has turned it down to date.
My mistake. Up until this season he had never played a competetive game. Didn't realise he had been capped in the competetive games this winter. Prior to that he had one friendly cap from 5 years ago.Geoff wrote:This is absolute bobbins seeing as he's already played for Argentina.
"On 15 October 2013 he played his first game for the main squad, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Augusto Fernández in a 2–3 FIFA World Cup qualifier loss away to Uruguay."cricketfieldclarets wrote:My mistake.

OK In which case I am completely wrong. Like I said, thought he had only played in friendlies and remember Italy sniffing round him when he was at Samp. Didnt realise he had played 8 minutes of a world cup qualifier.Foshiznik wrote:"On 15 October 2013 he played his first game for the main squad, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Augusto Fernández in a 2–3 FIFA World Cup qualifier loss away to Uruguay."
Even if he had only made a friendly appearance it would mean he would be ineligible to play for another nation.cricketfieldclarets wrote:OK In which case I am completely wrong.

For what its worth at the time he said he wouldnt play for Italy anyway.
You're correct on that part.cricketfieldclarets wrote:For what its worth at the time he said he wouldnt play for Italy anyway.

Thats not true. Zaha played for england against sweden i think it was. Now plays for the ivory coast. I hadnt realised Icardi had played competetively for the argentina team.Geoff wrote:Even if he had only made a friendly appearance it would mean he would be ineligible to play for another nation.
