Guest bennytwohats Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Oh come on.. you think mid table teams in Italy could even think to get their hands on Shakiri, Payet, Inler & Ayew to name a few. Both the Milan clubs are mid-table Italy teams these days which I'm pretty sure are still a huge draw for most players. Bigger than clubs like Stoke, West Ham, Leicester and Swansea anyway!

Guest Col city fan Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Bit like a car analogy. I've got a perfectly good Renault Modus that gets me to work every day. But if I was offered a Ferrari that just needed a bit of a tune up.......Substitute King and Inler there, and you get my pointI think you make my point really. Is Inler a 'Ferrari' needing a bit of a tune-up?I ask again (genuine question) is he so good that we absolutely must include him each week in our first team? For me a Ferrari (even an older one) implies absolute top notch. And to liken King to a Renault Modus is a bit harsh! Ric Flair makes some great points in this thread and I tend to agree with him mostly. I reiterate it's not about whether Inler is an accomplished player or not. He is. End of debate. It's about whether he will 'fit' in the breakneck speed of the Premiership and whether he will fit with our style of play. I wouldn't want to see us slowing our play down to accommodate one man. We'll see.
Micky Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 We dominated the entirety of the second half. He was part of that. The problem that he faces is that Drinkwater is in excellent form and Kante looks a super little player. Without doubt he is a good player but he may have to wait for his chance due to the excellent competition.
Biggus Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 I just re-watched the second half from Sunday. Inler was good.
MC Prussian Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 dunno, but we can't go to places like stoke away or play arsenal at home carrying someone who, on his two performances so far has been at best a passenger, and at worst actively positively contributing for the opposition. I think you're being overly harsh here. He's had 75 minutes of PL action spread over two games yet and already people are jumping to conclusions from what little they've seen from Inler. He gave maybe three passes away on Sunday, but had as many successful long balls hit to either flank. And his "roaming" ability in the centre of the park is a joy to the eye of the beholder. His positioning there is excellent (hence why he got a little found out covering for De Laet/Mahrez on the right), he's a fair tackler (and not a drawer for cards) and highly apt at anticipating opposing movement - he'll go down as one of the best interceptors in the club's history. That's my bet. But all of those things that he does are on the unspectacular side. I suppose too many people are expecting something else. He can do it, but I don't see Inler as a show-off on the pitch. He usually goes about his business quietly, just like any other competent central (defensive) midfielder.
NewquayFox Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Still finding his feet in English football, it's a long season and I can see him playing a big part in our team. Got a feeling Kante will nick his place against Stoke but he will get back in the team.... Up the City....
HighPeakFox Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 As I said earlier or elsewhere, what a nice problem the club (potentially) has......

That's how I see it as well, put in a few decent interceptions in the first half, as long as gets up to speed he'll be an improvement on what we currently have. Part of the next step up I hope.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Cambiasso took a while to find his feet last season. No rush to judge yet.

wokinghamfox Posted 16 September 2015 Author Posted 16 September 2015 I just re-watched the second half from Sunday. Inler was good. are you having a laugh!. He was substituted at half time.

MC Prussian Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 are you having a laugh!. He was substituted at half time. Maybe you want to watch the game again. Because either Inler got subbed at the 64-minute mark or he must've had a very talented doppelganger on the pitch in the second half.

Didnt notice him at all in the 2nd half.
filbertstreet Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Scouse Fox good post and agree 100%. Scouse Fox good post and agree 100%. Scouse Fox good post and agree 100%. you can say that again
wokinghamfox Posted 16 September 2015 Author Posted 16 September 2015 Ok Scouse Fox good post and agree 100%
MC Prussian Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 agreed good post scousefox You self-congratulatory... I agree 100% - good post that.
The_77 Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Maybe you want to watch the game again. Because either Inler got subbed at the 64-minute mark or he must've had a very talented doppelganger on the pitch in the second half. Right after he ran out of gas on Villa's 2nd goal. When he said he was ready to start, he might have underestimated how active he'll have to be in this league. He's still not completely match fit, if that play is any indication, so I'm not too worried about any negatives to his play so far.
TMELcfc Posted 16 September 2015 Posted 16 September 2015 Not sure if it's already been posted but people need to read this, calm down and stop trying to find negatives with new players on a couple of performances. http://m.leicestermercury.co.uk/Rob-Tanner-s-Blog-Leicester-City-fans-gave/story-27813637-detail/story.html
Biggus Posted 17 September 2015 Posted 17 September 2015 that just shows how much of an impact he had. Didnt notice him at all in the 2nd half. Well watch it again and he was subbed around 64 mins. MC Prussian sums him up nicely.
Guest ttfn Posted 17 September 2015 Posted 17 September 2015 agreed good post scousefox First time for everything
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 September 2015 Posted 17 September 2015 Oh come on.. you think mid table teams in Italy could even think to get their hands on Shakiri, Payet, Inler & Ayew to name a few. Well Inler has played mid table in Italy for a decent proportion of his career and Shaqiri was clearly going to take a step down from europes bigger hitters after struggling for pitch time..... but that's not really the point I was making. The league, despite the money involved in it and the big names. clearly isn't holding up against the rest of Europe as well as it was when we regualarly getting teams into the latter stages if European competition, a team is a lot more than the some of it's parts.
