27 = Quaresma

 

[Hand]

is number 3 retired?

I thought we retired a number for facchetti

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

Indeed, it was retired after Giacinto passed away. It used to be Burdisso's #

 

[pun]

Quaresma* if he comes will take 27 as Joshua reported, then when Figo retires....he should take his #7.

Balotelli should take Cruz's #9 when he goes as well. If Stankovic leaves, I wouldn't be surprised if the midfielder we sign takes #5 or #20.

 

[Carson35]

Q likes 27?

 

[sakana]

Could someone explain to me what's going on with Crespo? I thought he was out of contract with Chelsea and was basically on trial with Inter, trying to get them to keep him on. But he's got a squad number, so I'm obviously totally wrong -- what's the deal?

 

[A10]

Accordingly, Crespo is keen to work with Mourinho.

So it is Mourinho's call now. If JM doesnt want Crespo, he'd be off.

and... apparently, some kind of mutual understanding is there for JM, Crespo, Inter.

I think he'd stay... and the key question, how to trim the squad.

 

[pun]

I meant Quaresma #17, sorry.

between crespo, cruz and suazo, probably 2 of them will be gone...i guess we will keep cruz...let suazo and crespo go...

Thanks, A10, I'm glad I'm not losing my mind. I'm surprised he's got a number but not a contract, though.

 

[A10]

I m giving it a guess....

Mourinho is going to let the players prove themselves before he makes the decision who to offload. Some time for himself and his staff to feel the players, and the players to get a feel of that coaching group.

Then after a l while, purchases will be finalized and then the trimming process. Whoever does not fit in will go on sale or loan. This way, Its only fair and good for his assessment.

Crespo has other clubs looking, but I think he is working hard to get 'selected' into JM's Team and therefore, signature.

I taken a clue from Juve's still-talking-about-stankovic even as they had declared shopping-finished.

 

[Josué]

I meant Quaresma #17, sorry.

I don't think so. He's only worn 7, 10, and 27(national team). He'll likely take the 27 and switch to 7 after Figo retires.

 

[sakana]

He's wearing #17 with the NT now, Joshua, since Ronaldo dropped down to 7 ...

 

[G. Facchetti]

Figo isn't retiring with us. Sorry to break the Inter fans hearts..

 

[Josué]

He's wearing #17 with the NT now, Joshua, since Ronaldo dropped down to 7 ...

Yikes, forgot about this disaster of a tournament that just passed. He wore 27 during the qualifiers and switched to 17 for the tournament as squad numbers could only go to 23. You're likely right and he'll take the 17. :thumbsup:

 

[G. Facchetti]

Who wants pics of Inter Portuguese contingent signing autographs?

PS: Pele was not available due to early morning liquor run

[Josué]

Hey look, it's Pulsy!

Far right with the big chompers.

Now he goes in for a kiss...

 

[G. Facchetti]

No actually I asked Figo if he would like to introduce me to his wife.

 

[A10]

Joshua, one question. Where is Brito now and why is he not avail...?
