Erick Thohir spoke about Frank de Boer and Gabigol during his speech at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Jakarta.
He stated: “Our coach had a few time to work in the pre-season, so he needs time to adapt to Italian football and know the squad. But I’m sure he’ll get results. Gabigol? There was a hard competition by other clubs, but he chose Inter. He’s a young talent and that’s why we expect he could be a landmark of Inter’s future”.

Yeah Inter signed him recently for primavera and he is already training with first team . which is impressive itself.
Signed from Serie B side Spezia primarily to boost the Primavera side, he has been rewarded for his fine performances for the B team the last one month with the chance to train with the first team.
Awua didn’t look out of place according to respected inter milan primavera blog, the Nigerian impressed manager Frank de Boer who twiced called him to have words with him.
The Football Academy Abuja trainee, was high on the priority list of Serie A side Roma before his move to Inter-Milan after a month training with the main team of Serie B side Spezia.
Rated as one of the most talented teen midfielder in Nigeria by former England International John Fashanu, he is on loan to Inter Milan, but a clause for a permanent transfer worth £2m is embedded in his loan deal.
his price tag, says much about him. 2M for a teenager is something
you mean Theophilus Awua? He is only on loan from Spezia for 200K Euros, with an option to buy. (I don’t know how much though) edit: ah i read again what you write, 2M. haha he;’s pretty good.
Okay! Thanks man – any good I presume? Striker or?
Who?
Woop wooooop
Hopefully Frank is the right man to get the best out of all of our young players; Gabi, Mario, Murillo, Miangue, Icardi, Brozo are all 23 years old or younger, which is very young when playing for a huge club!
Miangue is interesting youngster and the coach must give him and gnokouri some playing time to gain experience.
Senna Miangue, Assane Gnoukouri, and don’t forget Eloge Yao.. He was Crotone starting eleven and helped Crotone promote to Serie A.. I’d rather see him given the chance to backup our 3M than Rano..
True.. Forget about rano.. He is hopeless
K-dog too
