Pre-Season 2010/2011

What is it about Balotelli, is he any good ? We only know about his temper but anyone see him play (well) ?

He is very very talented but lacks the work rate and attitude. He feels talent alone will make him the best in the world.

I hope his deal goes through before we play man city on the weekend. I want him to face materrazi-cordoba.

ouch those dudes are going to gun for him! then again he'll be MIA for the match :D
 
Supersport will be showing the following games live this coming week:

18:55 - 21:00 SS4 Friendly: Valerenga v Barcelona

14:25 - 16:30 SS4 Friendly: Borussia Monchengladbach v Liverpool
 
If I were a city fan I would be very worried. Team got totally outplayed by an inter side playing their first friendly of the season and with most of their stars/first teamers not playing. Yeah the red card put them at a disadvantage but they really should have done better then what they did.

Liked what I saw from coutinho,mariga and obi. Obina did well with his two goals, should get more clubs interested in hom so good marketing.

I liked how rafa employed cambiasso further forward.

So good game if you are an Inter fan, very bad if you are a city fan.
 
Whatever happened to Mariga? Is he going to be used or will Rafa axe him?

Mariga is part of the plans. The club sees him as one of the players for the future hence the bought the other half of his contract for €5 million from parma.

Players who will be axed before the transfer window closes are Nelson rivas, Nicolas Burdisso(going to roma most likely), Sulley Muntari(linked to be part of the mascherano deal), Allesandro Mancini, Victor Obina, David Suazo and Kerlon.

Balotelli should complete his move to city this week, there have some complications with city wanting a discount because of the wages he is demanding but inter have rejected that. They will have a new meeting on monday. Maicon also wants to go to real but so far they haven't come close to matching inter's valuations or his wage demands.

Inter main target is mascherano. The club will then look to replace balo with either g.rossi or kuyt. Who replaces maicon isn't certain yet, preferably he stays but we will see.
 
Jeez some of the big teams haven't been doing too well in pre season...
 
Not a great result vs pao. But I think rafa can take some things from it. 4-4-2 is a very bad idea for this squad. Really struggled in the first half when playing this formation. Much better in the second half when we switched to 4-2-3-1 and really improved when the wc guys came on latter on. I think should probably drawn the game if milito was fully match fit, missed a great chance near the end. Nice first inter goal by coutinho.
 
Anyone know if they showing the Man Utd game today
 
Eish another loss for Chelsea.. quite worrying... and they fielded a strong side!

Dude - the first teamers have been back for about 8 days. The first two games were majority youth. I'd be worried if we had a great preseason where the team seemed to gel and get some playing fitness and then lost 3 consecutive competitive games...
