One of Inter’s long term targets has been Napoli’s Dries Mertens. However, the Partonopei are not in favor of letting any player join the Nerazzurri easily. Today Sport Mediaset reported that there could be a swap between Dries Mertens and Juan Jesus. The Belgian is not a starter, and is currently a “super-sub” at Maurizio Sarri’s Napoli. Juan could be useful for Napoli, as they lack depth in defense, and Ivan Strinic has not convinced Maurizio Sarri yet.

Mertens could help us a lot- sadly for JJ but sometimes we need to do sacrifices…
JJ must stay.. take ranocchia instead
Your side want to reinforce the defense right? Take Froggy plus 10millions and we got ourselves a deal.. Lol
i prefer insigne or gabbiadini..
😉
I think we need to keep JJ. The Frog needs to go and our FBs keep getting hurt. So JJ is one of the only players that can step in and play CB & FB… We need to keep him until the end of the season, and then decide if we want to trade him. IMO I would like for him to stay though.
We have enough quality attacking players. There are other teams that are doing more with less. Mancini needs to figure it out, that’s why he gets paid… But we are missing a solid MF or Kondo needs to transform more into a box to box MF.
Wouuld be great if Kondo can play like Matuidi
Don’t think we’ve seen a MF 3 of kondo/medel/brozo yet? That would be interesting??
Swap with Insigne or no deal
A swap with Gabbiadini please.
Juan is a true Interista, he surely plays for the Shirt. I dont know if i want to let him go.
As a left back I regained my faith in him a bit. I don’t think this deal will happen tho, since Napoli isn’t easy to deal with.
The last two games where nagatomo back on starting line up, while the obvious defense duo are murillo+miranda, plus there’s still medel and Rano in CB and Teles in LB, actually means that JJ need lot more to prove. While Mertens, excluding injury record, is proven starter. However, mertens is tend to operate better in left wing as do perisic although they both quite versatile. With that in mind, Rano for Iturbe is more favourable.
if he loves the club, he should leave the club then. he’ll help the club alot more than staying.
You are putting all your money on Telles already? What if he gets injured?
santon or danilo can perform at leftback just fine. IF telles gets injured,
He is ok. He is versatile tho, you can put him in the middle, he will fight =)
“jack of all trades, master of none” you need to pull emotions to the side. and think logically, and ask yourself: can mertens help inter more than juan?
“can mertens help inter more than juan?”
I would say 50/50…he is been sleeping on the bench for some time. But i gotta admit, he is got talent.
no offense but you’re either delusional or don’t know much about mertens. anyway, you are comparing a utility player that doesn’t really excel at anything with a proven talent that has played in the highest level like the world cup and the champions league in consistent bases. you can’t be serious :s
edit: came off offensive eitherway lol sorry 🙂
I respect your opinion. No need to apologize, we are on the same side here (not here) 😉
I agree with Jackabood that Mertenes would be very useful for Inter, but I don’t agree that Juan should be the price for this to happen. Juan is great player still to mature his game.
However, knowing that we have to turn some players in order to get new one then I can see Juan actually leaving Inter, because he can bring a decent amount of money. Its Juan, Brozovic, Guarin who can bring 10-15mil. And maybe Rano if we sell him in England.
I like the other version better. Rano plus another 10 mil for Candreva!! 🙂
fans need to leave emotions out of things. juan is damn near 25 years old. that’s not young in today’s terms. hummels captained dortmund at the champions league Final at that age and there are 18 year olds who have performed more consistently at the highest level of football
“Juan is great player” Said no one ever.
juan needs be sold and so is guarin, danilo, nagatomo, ranocchia.
brozovic needs to stay as he is improving lately with both national team and inter.
Agreed, just because some player declare himself as interista doesnt mean they deserve to play for the shirt. If loves and passion is criteria for our player i believe that andreolli have more passion than jj.
If captain Froggy got some years to proof that he’s nothing, why can’t Juan? We don’t need Mertens that much anyway.. So Juan should stay, if someone should go, it’s captain Froggy..
How many years jj needs to proof?JJ isnt new signing,he came a season after rano, and his age is not that young. Were talking pro player here, who play regularly since 2012.
He’s 3 years younger than captain frog means he’s still young, and since the times at Inter he’s been mentored by no other than this silly frog himself, no wonder that he became unstable, now he got better mentor in Miranda, he’ll develop better I’ve said it many times.. At least another full season is a decent chance for him..
i see, if you using ranos age as standard to define “young” then JJ will always young. but until now i cant find any team who have U25 categorize, i only know theres team U23, U21, U20, U19, U17. in other word, player beyond 23, will play for senior team. if we want to develop or invest in young player maybe we should look di marco or any other player whos U23.
Nope, Juan is improving, only blind says he isn’t..
you hate the english language? not making sense.
Means he shouldn’t go.. Which part doesn’t make sense?
your grammer didn’t. anyway juan should be sold. so is rano guarin and naga. the team needs cleansing.
Owh yeah i like your “grammer” just like what you wrote.. Lol.. If you said Juan should be sold then i have nothing to say rather than go get some eye donors for you.. Pfftt all the players above need to go in one go? Whose gonna buy? Whose gonna replace them? Primaveras? Or some FM players? LOL
Juan isn’t inter quality. i’ll tell you that.
And you should get some eye donor, i tell you that..
so you’re saying juan is inter quality? if so where does he play best? good enough to take telles or murillo’s spot?
make sure to do not edit ur comments after i already replied 😉
Well let’s say that i click the post button too fast, and i edit to add some words to it immediately.. who’re you to tell me what i should or shouldn’t do? About grammar, this is not english class, so get used to it Lol.. You better take concern about how high you think you know while actually you know nothing.. If you don’t know what i meant then read again above..
tl;dr
Yeah ‘Grammer’ master LOL
what are you rambling about? you just keep replying to me :S
Go get some mirror dude you’re doing the same.. And ask the man in the mirror if 25 is not young anymore or not, or ask him to teach you about “Grammer” LOL
i honestly don’t know what are you rambling about.
Me either, perhaps you know “Grammer” master who said 25 isn’t young anymore?
yes. in todays terms a 25 year old player isn’t considered a young talent anymore, people have performed at higher level and even hit their peak at a younger age. you have to draw a line somewhere.
you just can’t rely on the fact “he has so much potential, i’m sure he’ll improve” he has been here for 4 years for god’s sake. you can’t be serious.
Juan doesn’t really excel at anything? Lol, blame Froggy for that as his mentor, now he got a good brazilian mentor inside of Miranda he’s got more chance to develop better, also he’s starting to get a grip as a sideback, i would give him a chance for at least another year to see how far would he develop.. Just don’t call other persons delusional when you can’t see things much better by yourself, everyone got their opinions..
You mean the game he totally shut Cuadrado off? Yeah we remember that game
He may not be the best going forward but we are definitely most solid defensively with him at that left back! Difficult choice!
