Short update

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/inler-meeting-in-progress-between-agent-and-napoli/

The agent of Gokhan Inler is currently in discussions with Napoli over the sale of his client. With several teams from both England and Germany vying for his signature it seems shortly we should find out the players preference for next season.

I'm sure we're not his preference but I guess it depends on who else has the finances to do the deal

Inler is not past it - not at all.

When you look more closely, you'll see that fatigue may explain parts of the criticism aimed at him - that and/or the rotation system deployed by Benitez that saw Inler miss out on almost 40% of all Serie A games last season.

It appears as if he's not had the confidence that he was used to under the same manager and the competition in the midfield coupled with three rather strenuous footballing years in between 2012 and 2015 (in excess of 150 games total with Napoli as well as the Swiss national football team) took its toll and saw him lose his freshness and tenacity to a certain extent.

 

Similar situation in the national squad, where youngsters like Granit Xhaka or Fabian Frei challenge for a space in centre-mid.

 

He did dare less on the pitch last season, be it in terms of shots on goal (not all-too required for a DM; but keep in mind he's two-footed and his long shots are usually something to be very afraid of) or passing - he's stayed put on the safe side with a lot of cautious and considerate sideways moves. Again, I suppose there's where confidence comes into play.

But he's an engine, works tirelessly in his area and his tackling skills are excellent. Personally, I think he can go a long way with his stamina and perform on a top level even past the age of 35.

 

He'd definitely act as an great link between defense and attack and stabilize as well as protect our midfield area with his vision and experience.

 

Cheers, that's a very reassuring assessment. I thought Poulsen would be a success too at the time, but that quickly turned sour. I hadn't thought about the demanding schedule being a reason for his slipping down the pecking order. Hopefully, should we sign him, his batteries will be fully recharged.

 

I won't bother replying to mozartfox or Ashley though, don't see what the point of their comments are.

Anyone know what he is saying

In essence, Napoli representatives are currently in Milano, discussing terms with Inler's agent as well as meeting up with Empoli, who are scheduled to get Napoli's 24-year old midfielder Maiello on loan for one year.

And that Napoli are willing to let Inler go for 6 million Euro.

Ok. I will reply to you.

I've seen numerous people on here and Social Media saying they do not want Inler as he is past it. In short they know nothing about Football :)

@(null): Leicester City Could Not Seek Surrender Inler http://t.co/OcCmd9EKOp

 

Have you actually translated that link?

 

I get this:

 

"Leicester City reportedly not given up to land Napoli midfielder, Gokhan Inler, and re-bid before the summer transfer window closed.
 
Swiss playmaker previously reported to have rejected the offer of manager Claudio Ranieri to leave the Partenopei, and prefer to move to fellow Italian clubs, Fiorentina
 
However, as reported by Sky Sport Italia, the central Foxes hold further talks with the agent Inler.
 
In addition to La Viola, allegedly Premier League clubs will also face competition from Schalke 04 and Besiktas.
 
Ranieri's own target Inler to replace the role of Esteban Cambiasso at the King Power Stadium."
 
I don't see anything that says he's rejected?

Why would the news have broken in Indonesia before anywhere else?

Allegedly, they're always hours ahead of anybody else.

 

Somebody quick consult Japanese football sites - or call an Aussie to the rescue.

Me too. Thought I was going mad there for a minute!

I don't read anything new or negative there?!

I don't really follow Serie A and I haven't watched a lot of Europa League either, hence why I ask MC about his opinion, as I guessed he's seen plenty of Inler throughout his career and knows why last season wasn't exactly a successful one for him in the main. I think I know a fair bit more than "nothing" about football, but hey ho, I should come to expect off the cuff remarks like these on Foxestalk nowadays.
