Inter Milan v Manchester City: Inter’s first pre-season friendly

By: Johonna | Comments 34 Comments

Inter ManCity

So here we are, Inter’s first “game” of the season. Right off the bat, I will say that I expect Inter to lose this game – hopefully not too painfully though. Here, we have five first team players who have only just had their first training today, a whole group of Primavera players, and a spanky brand new coach. To me, that spells disaster. Especially given that Manchester City already have a few games under their belt this summer. Oh, and what do you bet Mancio will be out for blood against the team that fired him (it seems to conveniently slip his mind that he quit first). Anyway, ya. I am predicting a loss… Hopefully we score a goal, though. Read the rest of this entry »

A Slightly Different Take on the Mario and Maicon Saga; Subtitle – Take Teams from England and Spain for As Much Money As You Can… AGAIN!

By: MAD | Comments 119 Comments

diamond ball

English and Spanish media, PR departments and supporters may not like Serie A, but their teams are willing to pay through the nose for it’s players. This, potentially, will be the second season in a row that we will make tens of millions of Euros off of a deal from at least one team that originates from either country. I am coming to see that I don’t mind one little bit.

Anyway, on to the deals and why I hope that they both leave. Feel free to reference the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game at any time.

They’re coming to America

By: Johonna | Comments 46 Comments

Today, today, today, today, today

Inter is in US for their 3-game North American Tour. I had read there was going to be four, but the Los Angeles game was canceled and the Chicago game never materialized (sorry if I got your hopes up, midwesterners). For those of you lucky enough to live in or near Philadelphia, Baltimore, Toronto, or Dallas, you have the opportunity to go see Inter play or train live and in person. Full schedule after the jump.

Balotelli or Maicon, Which (if any) Do YOU Choose?

By: Johonna | Comments 75 Comments

Balotelli or Maicon, Who Stays, Who Goes
So given the market hype this summer, it seems possible (probable?) that at the very least, either Maicon or Mario Balotelli will be leaving us this summer. The question is, if one has to go, which should it be? I have been going around and around with myself all week and I still don’t know. Mario clearly has issues but there is no denying he is hugely talented. Plus, he is young and will only get better. Maicon is older, but he is a workhorse and always there for the club. At times, he is arguably the best right back in the world and, right now, he has a unique skill set. I suppose there is always the outside chance that we get to keep both.

In any case, here is your chance to make your opinion known. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, Remember that Market Thing?

Well it is still going on. Inter aren’t participating all that much but there are some odds and ends to clear up. And, last I checked, both Maicon and Balotelli are still Inter players. Hooray. Read the rest of this entry »

Internazionale Presents… Philippe Coutinho

By: Johonna | Comments 48 Comments

Philippe Coutinho, newest Inter Player

Philippe Coutinho has finally arrived. After years of dreaming and hoping and waiting, the newest Brazilian wonder child has finally found his way to Inter’s training grounds. This kid has been Inter’s next great thing for two years — he officially signed for Inter in 2008 but, at the tender age of 16, he was too young to come to Italy. Instead, he spent the last two years on loan at the Brazilian club, Vasco de Gama. Now he is 18 and ready to make his mark in the Serie A. Welcome aboard, Philippe. Read the rest of this entry »

The Promised Wesley Sneijder Spam

By: Johonna | Comments 52 Comments
A little something Wesley sent out last week.

A little something Wesley sent out last week.

As I said, I have accumulated all sorts of Wesley Sneijder spam. Much of it with his help. He is very active on Facebook and Twitter and has been sending out and posting up all sorts of wonderful photos. In fact, I was worried that I would have to search around for wedding pictures (he and Yolanthe got married today) but when I checked Twitter this morning, I saw that Wesley had kindly sent out a link to a Sky Sports piece with not just photos but a video (wait till you see Sneijder’s tux). How sweet was that? That Wes, always making our lives just a little easier. Read the rest of this entry »

Waving Goodbye to an Old Friend

Another season is closing in upon us and as with every new training camp my mind is always cast backward to those who are not going to be starting the new season with us. In this case, we are moving on without Francesco Toldo.
