milanoww 81 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 He was a beast when Mourinho was in charge, but after that don't know, recently I'm not watching Serie A. Anyway it will be a good signing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Only thing I'm not too sure about is his wages. Inter are known to pay outrageous wages, and if he's coming to be backup for Iva, should we match those wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 It would be an odd state of affairs to see the back up earn more than the starter.Which would suggest maybe he might not actually be coming to us as back up, like many think? It all still seems to be just twitter-talk at the moment anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all still seems to be just twitter-talk at the moment anyway.I don't know why everyone's assuming Branislav is going to be our right back. He prefers Center back and said so a few years back. If this signing is made the way I see it is this:StartingCole - Terry - Ivanovic - MaiconBack UpBertrand - Luiz - Cahill - Hutchinson/Ivanovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that SeB made the point that it is very difficult to switch between the two positions, Iva has been playing at RB for a long time that he looked out of his depth when played at CB. In the few time that he played at CB he was less than average there which makes me think that there is no way he will start ahead of Luiz and Cahill.

If this signing is made the way I see it is this:StartingCole - Terry - Ivanovic - MaiconBack UpBertrand - Luiz - Cahill - Hutchinson/IvanovicIvanoivc will be our RB next season! he is quality there! and we also have Cahill and Luiz who are quality CB's so it would make sense to play Branna RB where he is a beast, so one of Cahill/Luiz can play with JT! instead of leaving them both on the bench like your suggesting.Cahill and Luiz are better CB's than Ivanovic, and Ivanovic is the best RB in the PL! you do the maths.

If Terry gets a lengthy suspension for the racism charges he'll find it hard to come back and dislodge Cahill and Luiz. Our centre half options are frighteningly strong at the mo.

LondonPride1905 236 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Why don't you want him here?I don't know. I mean, yes I think he has immence skill and that the Gareth Bale thing was nothing much. Maybe it's because a bit too old and I really have my eyes set on Debuchy or Piszczek(Mostly him). Well, in one way or the other, getting him won't be bad. I won't be that unhappy, but I prefer those two that I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
