Corriere dello Sport re-ignited the flame illuminating the path towards Rolando.
And apparently, this time, it’s positive news in regards to the potential return of 29 year-old 1.9 meter Portuguese center back.
“If he was sold for a low figure (despite his contract expiring in 2016), Mancini would give the green light to the operation trying to overcome competition from Juventus and Lazio.” They went on to say that the alternatives would be “Nastasic, whom the technician from Jesi wants (back) from England, is a concrete idea (for loan). He also likes Fabian Murillo of Granada, but he must be purchased and competition (for him) is not lacking.” This idea would be set in motion if Nemanja Vidic were to leave, however.

Author’s note: Man, would it irk me to see him playing again in Serie A and not for us. He was a consistent and rock-solid player in black & blue. Also, he’s right footed, and our central defensive problems have stemmed mostly from two of our right-footed center backs in Ranocchia and Vidic. Thing is, Porto is always smart with transfers, wonder if we can get him back for cheap now that other teams are knocking… Also, he’s not getting any younger. Hm.
Do you want Rolando back? What do you make of the alternatives? Would they fit in your starting lineup?
He showed a great performance, but that will be a different story cause we got a new coach right now. Personally, I would choose Nastasic rather than Rolando. At some point, I just trauma seeing Inter doing business with Porto. We got Pereirra and Guarin. Sure, Rolando is an exception, but for the future. I will looking for someone who fit and can give us instant strength in defends for winter market.
Of course I want him back and if it wont happen, Nastasic is ok anyway
seriously? he didn’t play for half a year, how come we expect him to solve our defensive problem? Bring nastasic in, at least he is young!
Yes i would be glad if he comes back.. he was a good defender and better than the current CB’s exept JJ.
A good defender for a low price. Thohir will be happy
Don’t think he will joine now – he’s a “Mazzarri-player” !
nastasic or rolando but they wil not fit in starting line up
Contract expires at end of season not in 2016
yeap, he will be dirt cheap if porto doesn’t wanna loose him for free.
Better loan Nastasic.
