McCormick Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 i'd have adriano, big names attract glory-supporters around the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I rate him, but Big Sam would need every trick in his man-management book to get him to play at his top level. Would be an intriguing signing. With Adriano, Martins, and Owen, we'd be amazing in FM or Pro Evo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Would keep martins! hes young and will only improve and has a good goalscoring record adriano would be the best signing of the summer excellent strike force Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Has somebody counted the number of "Adriano?" "HELL NO!" threads we've had since last winter? I'd say about 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hasn't he admitted that the alcohol was his downfall last season? If he's on the wagon and desperate to prove something I'd take him in a heartbeat. Get rid of Shola to make room Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If he really is available on loan then there's no risk, so I'd take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 He's not available for Loan. He's not willing. He says they will either keep him or sell him, he;s not interested in being arsed about. Adriano's agent has ruled out the prospect of the 25-year-old striker leaving Inter on loan before the transfer window closes. The Serie A champions have opened the door for the Brazil international to leave the San Siro as he is well down the pecking order in Roberto Mancini's plans. City and Adriano's former club Parma have both been in the frame for his signature but representative Gilmar Rinaldi says his client is not considering a loan move and will wait until January before deciding his future. "I have spoken with Adriano and we have decided that a loan is not a solution," Rinaldi told the Italian press. "He wants to stay at Inter, otherwise he wants to be sold definitively. "I've spoken with [inter's sporting director] Marco Branca and I've been surprised by the club's will to loan him. "In a week it will be difficult to find a team, but we are calm. "Otherwise we will talk about the possibility to leave in January." http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,1777_2689182,00.html I think I would take him at City. No doubt the guy is a risk but there is something there and we're not exactly spoiled for choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 overweight and too many off the pitch problem. No thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 An Italian football expert was talking about this on the radio today. He said it would be very high risk as he enjoys the life outside football too much and has been warned repeatedly by Inter who are just desperate to get rid. If a manager could get him back to the form he showed in previous years, he would be an asset but he doubted that would be the case. In view of us having managed to get rid of all the bad eggs in the dressing room, I would think this is the kind of signing that we definitely do not need.

fredbob Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 if i had to choose one player who's considered untouchable cos of the problems off the field he has it'd defeineitely be Adriano, i rate him so highly, i think he's one of a few players in the world who are actually able to single handedly destroy a team, i remember seeing him against Valencia a couple of years agao and he was immense. Got bags of ability and with his physique would be perfect for premiership, he's a very physical striker and uses his body very well. Unforntunaltey his willingess to leave Inter despite his several warning suggest he quite simply doesn't care, which is a terrible sign, posssibly irreversible.

Dokko Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Really doesn't care about the football anymore. There is no rescuing a player like him, he has to do it himself, i just don't think he's got it in him, and if he doesn't do it fast, his career has been blown on fast women, faster cars, late nights, strong alcohol and bad food. He treats being a footballer like we'd treat winning the lottery. A thought has passed maybe removing him from his comfort zone and familiar surroundings could help him, but he'd manage to find a party at the North pole, and if he turned up and one wasn't happening, he'd fly in the booze and girls himself through his people. One or two more years coasting and he's finished for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Be a typical Allardyce signing tbh, talented player who has obviously lost his way and could do with a fresh start. I'd love us to go for him, in all honesty. Perfect for the 4-3-3 system we're looking to play, very physical player and on his best form he can be unplayable. Doubt we're looking at him though, which is a shame as I'm still not sure either Viduka or Ameobi are going to be the answer for us as the target man we need.

Guest NUFC4 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 ever since the copa america final in 2003 when argentina went up 2-1 with 3 minutes to go and adriano scored a supurb turning half volley to tie the game, which brazil eventually won on pk's, i've been a fan of adriano. i follow him in the italian league and eventhough i don't support inter (lazio, lazio!) i have his inter jersey. there's no doubt he's been struggling over the past couple seasons but as we've seen before a player's career and form can be resurrected by a simple change in clubs and a new found motivation to prove the "critics" wrong. now getting down to it...we have a load of forwards. hopefully we'll be getting rid of one alberta luque this week. thank you ajax! to be quite honest i haven't been at all impressed with viduka's showing so far for us and have thought that when fit ameobi deserves his shot. i think adriano would be an improvement on the pair of them. seeing an attacking line of owen----adriano----martins makes my mouth water! so yes gets his big brazilian ass up here! if he likes the look of things he can convince edmilson to join in january Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 great player (on his day).. legendary in pro evo yes he's lost his way a bit in recent times and yes he's overrated like crazy; but at 25 he's the perfect age- got at least 4 years of good football in him. Like viduka but more pace and younger- if big sam can get the most out of him we'll have a monster on our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
