Adriano

[Guest 70400]

Adriano.... where do I start.

 

Strength of a beast, brain of a chicken. Brute force, no finesse.

 

The most unintelligent striker amongst the so-called World Class - TM category. Always tries to play for himself, by himself.

 

Inter are better off with Cruz and Martins.

[Leo No.8]

He's like Heskey in terms of his football brain to power ratio, but his quality is what makes him so much better. And he may only have one foot, but it's one hell of a foot.

 

I still think Adriano is a beast - he's having a poor season all things considered but has still scored 19 goals; plus of course he's still pretty young and still learning.

 

I think he'll always have a few games when he looks like he's never played football before, but he'll always take defences apart as well with his power and pace.

[galés rojo]

Sorry, that's rubbish. He's having a bad run of form this year, that's it.

 

Like the bad run of form he had last season when he went about half a season without scoring?He is a horribly overrated striker imo.

[PhilM]

So what if he has lean spells, he's still got a goal every other game for Inter this year. According to the Inter site, he's got 60 goals in 117 games.

 

He might have shortcomings in his game like his one footedness, but he's doing the job he's paid to do.

 

Ronaldo parties a lot and doesn't look that arsed, but he's still one of the best strikers in the world.

[Nebraska Red]

I have seen him play a few times and he is playing up front on his own for much of the time. Only when they are in a bind do Inter stick another striker up with him.

 

The Inter players just give him the ball and then sit back and let him do his stuff. For much of the time he has been left to play against 4 defenders.

 

He needs service and the support of his fellow players. Watch him in the world cup when he has Ronaldhino, Kaka and the rest of the team actually supporting him.

[R A Softlad]

Matty must be "busy" at the minute.

 

[Benzo-13]

Martins spoils his game. They are both left-footed and run the same channels, only last night Martins nicked a chance off his toe. They should sell one of them as they are completely incompatable.

If people think Adriano is over-rated, Ibrahimovic was giving him a f*cking good run for his money last night.

 

Everyone raves about the Swede, but his efforts against Arsenal ranked up there with Cisse at Old Trafford in the 'can't play football or be arsed either despite the fact this is the biggest game of the season' stakes...

never really understood the fuss over zlatan, and as for trezeguet, he makes cisse look pele

[Hassony]

Yea..except that you only have to look at Trezeguet's record in club and international football to realise that you're talking complete and utter b******s.

cisse has a great record with auxere, scored 15 goals for liverpool this season and 5 for france, and people still think he is s****
