I heard this thing of Martinez wanting to go to Barcelona for a while, he's pretty ambitious. But I don't know if its going to happen , they'll need someone else big in the front, Lukaku is not enough.
If they can't afford Marc Gasol, they certainly can't afford Martinez. They couldn't pony up Lautaro's buyout clause of $133 million so they tried to bullshit with table scraps, Marotta wasn't impressed and told them to "smama".

Barcelona has Braitwaite. 3 goals and 1 assist in 2 games.

Juventus won 2-1 Against il Toro, good game, MaKennie scored and Bonucci had a great header.

Inter - Bologna 3-1 I have to agree with Dan that there is bullshit going on with Conti and Eriksen. Conti called on Eriksen to come in with 3 minutes of extra time left. Even the commentators were calling that an insult. I don't know why this is happening and if there is a war between the two. He was better off leaving him on the bench, he (Eriksen) also walked out at the end not shaking nobodies hands.

I agree with danmand as well.

Conte rested Barella, that should have opened the door for Eriksen to run the offense. There could also be a difference of opinion between Conte and Transfer Director Marotta, the later brought the Dane to Inter - possibly against Conte's wishes.

Btw after Bonucci scored, Pirlo went nuts, I haven't found any clips of it. So I'll post his retirement party. Some background, Galliani and Maldini also had a difference of opinion. Maldini didn't think Pirlo was done after Galliani let him go in the summer of 2011. Maldini left the club.

It is ironic that it should happen to Christian Eriksen. He is known as a shy and humble player, not a Christiano. He is married to his high school sweetheart. There is no record of any conflicts with him.

Inter, social media defend Eriksen and massacre Conte: "Shame on you!" By Fabio Tarantino -Dec 6, 2020

Even against Bologna, Inter coach Antonio Conte gave Eriksen a few minutes. This time the social networks do not forgive

Four, five, one. It is not a sort of countdown but the time that Antonio Conte has granted to Christian Eriksen in the last few games. The Danish midfielder was 'humiliated' by the Inter coach even against Bologna, who let him in when the match was over, treating him like any other young player to whom he gave his Serie A debut. An inexplicable treatment for a footballer of great value who is now only waiting for January to leave. The two have never tied and Conte lies at the end of the game when he says: “I have a good relationship with Eriksen, like everyone else. Is growing". This is not the case and he knows it too well, who lets him in almost as a punishment, a questionable behavior that, this time, despite the victory, has not gone unnoticed.

Social media massacre Conte for the Eriksen case Last night, a few minutes after Inter's victory against Bologna, the social media talked about something else: not about Hakimi, not about Lukaku, but about Eriksen, about the treatment that Conte gave him. Once again the Dane entered at the end without being able to contribute to the cause. His name has become a trend on Twitter in a very short time, many fans have lined up alongside him criticizing Conte's behavior. At the end of the game, Eriksen's gesture did not go unnoticed and, while the team was celebrating, returned sadly to the locker room. Maybe thinking back to the mistake he made when he chose to accept Inter a year ago. But he couldn't know ...

Cynical foul by Obiang on Enzo Pellegrini, he spiked him on his instep. If he's out for any length of time, Roma are in trouble.

On the flipside, Lorenzo Insigne is healthy and playing his best football.

Is Stefano Pioli smarter than Antonio Conte? Pioli has allowed Tonali and Calhanoglu to work out their game for the betterment of Ac Milan. Barella and Eriksen should have been able to do the same but Conte doesn't like the two-way spine.

In spite of all their injuries, Milan have opened a 5 point gap at the top of the table. danmand's gumbatino Mikkel Damsgaard (he's two months younger than Tonali, both born in 2000) came in in the second half and started opening up Milan's defense with his crisp passing.

Eriksen-Conte, arriva il momento della verità. Ma c’è uno scenario che non è tollerabile
Christian Eriksen è diventato, pur senza chiederlo, l’emblema dell’Inter che potrebbe essere e non è: per lui arriva il momento della verità

di Daniele Mari, @marifcinter





DÌ LA TUA 4

Christian Eriksen e Antonio Conte. Lavorano entrambi per l’Inter ma sono più distanti che mai. Il danese, che ieri in 6 minuti è stato più pericoloso di tanti compagni nei restanti 84, sarà con ogni probabilità ceduto a gennaio.


Ceduto e sacrificato sull’altare dell’incompatibilità tattica con il suo allenatore. “Non è funzionale”, ha detto anche se non esplicitamente Beppe Marotta, trincerandosi dietro l’esempio di tanti bravi giocatori che non si sono adattati allo schema dell’allenatore di turno.
E probabilmente è vero: Conte non sa che farsene di Eriksen. Il ritmo compassato del danese, pur arricchito da giocate saltuariamente geniali, mal si sposa con il calcio tutta corsa e pressing che impone l’ex allenatore di Chelsea e Juventus.

E allora l’Inter è chiamata ad una scelta. E la scelta è già stata fatta, con Eriksen praticamente accompagnato alla porta. Impensabile tenere a marcire in panchina un giocatore così, per di più il più pagato della rosa insieme a Lukaku. Meglio dirsi addio.
Ma dopo l’eliminazione dall’Europa, con le nubi che sono tornate scure sul futuro a lungo termine di Conte, è cominciato a balenare un quesito negli studi televisivi (anche in società?). Meglio dirsi addio o dirsi arrivederci?
Paolo Condò (il rappresentante della stampa italiana al Pallone d’Oro, non proprio l’ultimo della fila) ha suggerito, senza troppi giri di parole, all’Inter di prestare Eriksen e di farlo tornare a giugno. Praticamente lasciando intendere a chiare lettere un eventuale addio di Conte alla Milano nerazzurra la prossima estate.

Getty Images
Ecco, qui è bene essere chiari. Molto chiari. La società è chiamata a fare una scelta e legittimamente farà la scelta che riterrà più opportuna. Ma c’è uno scenario che molti tifosi (giustamente) temono e che davvero non sarebbe tollerabile: vendere Eriksen per manifesta incompatibilità con Conte e poi separarsi dallo stesso Conte sei mesi dopo.
Questo non si potrebbe tollerare. Se la società è convinta di Conte, vada avanti con Conte a dispetto del malumore per il fallimento europeo ma vada avanti con Conte con prospettive che superino il mese di giugno 2021.
Se così non fosse, e quindi ci fosse anche un solo dubbio sull’eventualità di proseguire per il terzo anno, allora la cessione a titolo definitivo di Eriksen sarebbe un errore madornale. E il giudizio sul danese dovrebbe darlo l’eventuale prossimo allenatore nerazzurro.
La cessione di Eriksen (e non il prestito) dovrebbe valere come conferma di Conte. Se così non fosse, qualcuno dovrebbe spiegarci il senso della cessione. Che forse un senso non ce l’ha.

There has been rumours that Eriksen could go to Roma. Do you think that is possible.

Eriksen has a strong incentive ($10m) to stay in Italy for a while, as the tax laws require him to stay 2 years in order to avoid taxes.

I checked on Pellegrini injury status, the spike he took is not that serous. Unlike Conte, Fonseca rested him for the Europa League. Regardless, without Zaniolo, Pellegrini needs to be supported better to create better options. Of course he'd be welcome at Roma and Fonseca is a more creative manager.

It would be dolce if Roma could bring in Eriksen and keep Veretout, but Inter will want the frenchman to cover for the Vidal mistake, that would be a no go.

They're talking PSG here for Erikson


The clubs most interested seems to be Dortmund, Arsenal and PSG.

I think Eriksen and his wife would love to stay in Italy, they are good friends with Simon Kjaer and his wife, and the Agenzia delle Entrate will take between 5 and 10 million Euros if he leaves Italy.

He doesn't have much of a choice unless an Italian team takes him.

Dybala finally scored, maybe that will help him pick up...3-1 against genova. 2 penalties which ronaldo scored.

Milan almost lost against parma, great game. They're still unbeatable.

Juve are healthier than Milan at the moment, Gabbia and Bennacer now out but Leao returned.

Didn't watch the Juve match, had a late night. Kalulu came in for Gabbia, he looked shaky but he has Ale to bring him around. Milan are going to need the Christmas break more than any other club.

Roma fielded their juniors in the Europa League, they looked fresh against Bologna. With van Dijk doubtful for the Euros, will Holland field an all italian backfield: de Vrij, de Ligt and Karsdorp?

Although rumour has it that Roma wants him, I don't think he belongs in Italy. I think he would be perfect in the Bundesliga. Dortmund has interest.

Young lad Erling Haaland got roughed up by Francesco Acerbi, something he's going to need to get used to. There must not be that many defensive cazzonis in the Bundesliga. Lazio missed the opportunity to go top by only managing a tie against Club Brugge.

Lazio is going to be out of Uefa unless a miracle happens, they'll be playing against Bayern.

Great fight between Atalanta and Juve. I like Atalanta and Sassuolo its always a good game and they're fighters. Cristiano was lack luster and missed a penalty, but he's human too. Chiesa's goal was beauty.

Genoa was ahead of milan twice but they managed to come back 2-2.

Inter wins its 5 th game in a row, although with a penalty. Insigne got kicked out for giving the finger to the empire. He's a feisty little one. :)

Are players allowed to swear at each other? I was watching a game the other day and they were cursing like crzy, the commentator was apologizing as you can hear everything.
