Castellazzi Should Stay Put

March 5, 2010

With the season drawing to an end, it is not strange to hear of looming transfers, however, the Sampdoria’s goalie’s claim that he will be joining Inter in the summer does not make sense. Unless he is comfortable warming the bench, a move to Inter will be a mistake he will live to regret.

Julio ceaser Inter’s number 1 goalkeeper is the best there is in Serie A. Inter is the only team in the entire league to conceed the least number of goals so far. Luca Castellazzi will have to settle for position 3 in the pecking order as Francesco Toldo won’t sit and watch as his spot is taken over without fighting for it .

Inter Milan Sign McDonald Mariga

February 1, 2010

A little surprised to see that Inter have signed McDonald Mariga from Parma today. I was not expecting any additional activity from Inter in this transfer window,

Mariga, 22, joined Parma in the summer of 2008 and he has been drawing a lot of attention from England recently, especially from Manchester City.

A statement from Inter read:

“Mariga has signed a contract until 30th June 2014 and will wear the number 17 jersey.”

As part of the deal, Inter have sold half their rights to forward Jonathan Biabiany who is already at Parma on loan. Inter also announced that Luis Antonio Jimenez will also be joining Parma on loan after returning from his loan spell at West Ham.

Steven Gerrard Rumors Will Not Go Away

January 15, 2010

When I first heard the rumor that Inter was interested in signing Steven Gerrard I have to say I did not give it much credence. Gerrard is a Liverpool kid, is playing for his childhood team and is their captain. The idea of Gerrard leaving was something that I could not envision.

But the rumors have persisted for months now, and while I think the odds on Gerrard being in an Inter shirt next season as less than 30%.

Who follows Mancini to Manchester City?

December 23, 2009

With the appointment of former Inter boss Roberto Mancini at Manchester City, there is bound to be speculation about what Inter players Mancini will target in the January transfer window.

Mancini’s background is in the Serie A so it makes sense that he will look for players to buy that he is familiar with. And it also makes sense that he will look to bring in some Inter Milan players as they understand his system and was of doing things.

This will definitely be hard to take in if your are an Inter fan but the club president Massimo Moratti has refused to but any new strikers in the January transfer window.

Transfer Window Spurs Exciting Rumours

December 16, 2009

The January transfer window is just around the corner and already the rumour mills are ripe with new signings for most of the big Italian teams. Word has it that Bayern Munich Striker Luca Toni is Inter’s main target for this winter transfer window. Apparently, Toni has fallen out with Bayern coach Luis Van Gaal and he is now considering returning to Italy to pursue his career.

Inter will definitely need his services as their other striker Samuel Eto’o will be heading to Angola for the Africa Cup of Nations. Personally, i have always felt that Luca Toni made the wrong choice in going to Germany. I wonder why he had to cross borders in the first place. He was doing better than okay in Italy.

Balotelli Could soon Be a Gunner

November 23, 2009

Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli could soon find himself on the way out of the San Siro and heading for a new life in the English capital if talks about a swap deal involving him and Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas are to be believed.

The Italy U-21 who of late has had a strained relationship with his coach Jose Mourinho is believed to be of keen interest to Arsene Wenger. I have to admit that although these reports are a little bit over the top, Balotelli is indeed struggling to get into Mourinho’s good books.
