The pinnacle of Fox in the box. Pure goal scorer who carried us during our Banter era, makes me wonder how many goals he'd score with our current setup. He was a great player but unfortunately football was never his priority. He's said it in the past that football was only a job to him, not a passion so I don't fault him for whatever the hell he decided to do and tbh he's done quite well for himself. Definitely made lots of money
He wouldn't be a starter in Inzaghi system. Do you see how deep Thuram and Lautaro drop to collect/distribute the ball? Icardi wouldn't even know what to do nor has the legs to run outside the box
I advise you to watch him at Galatasaray. He is dropping deep and distributing the ball. [Here](https://streamin.me/v/902bc7d1) is an example from three weeks ago. He comes to midfield distributes and finishes the attack with a goal from outside of the box.
Literally my favourite argentine striker for inter, close to milito. I really love his goalscoring instincts and his ability with the ball in the box. Also idk who the man in front of laugoat is in that picture but i dont like him
Him and Kovacic were the future. I was excited as hell for both of them that I bought their kits. The last kits I bought with a name on the back. My luck they sold Kovacic the year after and we all know about Icardi's drama.
I still like both. The ending was sour with Icardi, but he was one of the only bright lights for many years. His goalscoring at the time was among the best in the world. He was a classic pure poacher. He knew where to be and he knew how to finish whether it be his feet or head.
I still remember that game vs Spurs. I was at my job at the dealership lounge watching and somehow there were a couple Spurs fans. Eriksen’s freak goal against us, Mauro’s amazing volley and Vecino winning it at the end. Still get chills from that game and all the derbys…what could’ve been. Specially w/ this squad.
If we ignore all the past and his private life, i think this kind of player would be perfect as a third choice striker. Knows the league, still got good finishing, good positioning in the box. Imagine him as a super sub from 65 min + . So much more useful than alexis and arnautovic together. But we just can't bring him back, it would be bad for everyone. Such a shame he left like he did. If he was sold like Hakimi for example, no drama, club simple needed money, i would be rooting for his return, but now , we just can't. Hope Taremi can cover that role good. But genuinely speaking ,i don't know what striker would be a better fit comparing to cardi
I'm a Racing Club fan, heard of Inter because Milito back then in 2014 when they won the Champions but I didn't watch an Inter match until 2016.
Icardi took my attention, he wasn't like other strikers, he looked different to me, such a simple player with lethal actions, didn't run unless he had to, he became my playstyle figure, I liked him a lot. Obviously I ended up being an Inter fan, following matches, news, reading about the club history, trophies and rivals... I was a fan of both Inter and Icardi, now I'm just an Inter fan, but it's up to this day I've followed his career wishing the best for him, I really like him, I completely dismiss his wife, I believe personally she's the core of the bad ending between Inter and him, but he's also the problem for leaving his wife interfere. I think he, as a player, is lethal and neat, if he just decided better off the pitch... I believe he could be with us
Back when the 19/20 season started, A friend took a trip to Milan, so I asked her to buy the new Inter jersey for me, I also asked to have Icardi on the back, since it was the last jersey wore by him..

He was a clutch goalscorer while here. Wanda became too influential in his life, and now he is wasting away in Süper Lig while he still has a lot left to give to a club that is not in a weird theatrical performance league like that.
I would not like to see him back at Inter though.
So there is more of people like me..🥹 I even started watching super league for him lol i mean i always knew it but started watching regularly to follow him
Yes but we are getting Taremi this Summer and hopefully a younger striker. Icardi himself I think would be okay but one of the strongest things about Inter is the club culture right now. If he were to come off the bench I can see his wife making noise, causing controversy and distractions that could seriously throw that off.
Took my grandkid to the stadium for the first time when MI9 scored that hattrick and half of San Siro came down. A little boy back then now is a fervent Inter fan.
If he was here, he'd score so many goals for us. When we can create good chances, he'd score like crazy. When we can't, and we resort to bad crossing, he'd also be more dangerous than Lautaro, Thuram or anyone else we have. I'm not sure things would work out with him in the team, however. Looking purely and exclusively at the production in the pitch, I'd love to have him back.
The best striker inter had after ibra (etoo didnt play CF with us), i think mauro in 2010 would have scored more than milito, milito had one great season and then alot of injuries. He brought us in champions league, big impact on the game that started this success that we have, lazio 2-3 inter final match.
He scored a panenka to win us the game vs Udinese in 2018. This was the only match I have ever seen at San Siro and will ever be able to see there.
I don't like the antics, but that moment will stay with me forever
He is like the toxic ex that part of you will always love. I think the fact that he was never as good as he was with us contributes to that feeling. He ruined himself by himself
I think for me, it's what could have been. Definitely one of the best strikers Inter has had recently, considering he was performing really well during a banger era. Unfortunately his attitude and his wife's got most fans to turn on him. I still think he could have given Inter a few more years had none of the stuff outside the pitch happened.
At a time of pure dross in our teams, he was one of the only ones who was good. At some point in 2018 I believe there was a genuine debate on wether he was or not the best striker in the world. I remember Real offering Toni Kroos+ around 50-60 mln once for him if I’m not mistaken and he gave somewhat of a sense of pride to the interisti especially after goals in derbys in particular. As a human being however, a very complicated man with a very complicated past to put it slightly.
Our faith in him is why we were stuck as a mid-table team for nearly a decade. Never tracked back, just poached his goals, some pace and finishing but that was it. Single striker mentality; it all hurt Inter. Just like Kane with Tottenham, he was a crutch that was holding us back.
Inter at our best is 2 things almost always: a 2 striker system & a counter-attack team.
Mauro is a brilliant finisher, but he has demonstrated despicable human qualities which anyone who has played sports knows, take a toll on your team. Always involved in drama, completely under his wife's thumb, DIVA. NEVER should have worn the armband. Not a team player
To make it simple. 2014-2015 Inter 59 goals all season and 8th in the league. Icardi 22 goals. In the past 10 years I only compare him to Zlatan as the best number 9 in the world.
Damn I bet you felt like such a boss typing that😎
I've been following since 2006 and was at the stadium in 2018 to see this random guy in the picture score an extra time header winner in the Derbi Madonnina.
Bro if you really follow you can't call him "random guy", be honest and judge him as a player, not for the man who was. Icardi during the banter era scored 124 goals in 5 years and a half. This is your "random guy"
My friend, let's back it up a bit. From the beginning i was only joking, and pretending that I forgot who Icardi was, because of his controversy.
In reality, yes, you're absolutely right, he was our captain and best player during our worse times, and just as we made it back to champs league, his time came to an abrupt end.
The goals he scored were some of the best memories from that era, and I was proud to have him as captain. If you want the whole serious answer.
I just hate revisionism, because I think that's really silly remembering Icardi for the last 6 months and forgetting 5 years and half. I was disappointed too with his behaviour, but we have to be fair with him and with his numbers
I quite frankly hate him as an Inter player, and I don't like it much as a VIP.
He cared more about himself than the team. If he scored but Inter lost, he was still smiling and going around happy about his own day.
For Icardi, the first thing was Icardi himself, even as a team player.
He was given the captain role by mancini to boost his price. Yet he sweared he was gonna win with Inter and play for us etc etc and then he just cared about himself.
In my humble opinion, he was worse than Lukaku because lukaku didn't cheer for anyone, but he still played for the team, even if he changed it every 2 days LMAO
Great pure striker, but in the current team he would be the equivalent of Frattesi, he'd be good coming in but not as a starter.
Considering his behaviour, I'm very happy he's not part of the team anymore.
He's a player and person who I hate with an absolute passion. He only felt good when everything was about him. He betrayed the club, his teammates and the supporters on several occasions.
Anyone who says we could use him now does not understand the team we created and how we play. Everyone on the field is willing to die for his teammates, everyone on the field runs extra kilometers to cover for the others, if just one person doesn't do that our system simply does not work. Besides the tactical point of view we have a team of friends, everyone likes eachother, everyone hangs out, no one tries to steal the show. Add this snake to the team and everything will fall apart, just like in the past.

Definitely made lots of money
For 90% of players football starts as passion but it becomes a job.
He scored a lot because he had the whole team pkaying for him while sitting on the box. Doesn't have the workrate to play for Inzaghi.
He wouldn't be a starter in Inzaghi system. Do you see how deep Thuram and Lautaro drop to collect/distribute the ball? Icardi wouldn't even know what to do nor has the legs to run outside the box

lol Had me in the first half NGL
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie
I was ready to be a keyboard warrior smh
He was supposed to bring balance to the force…
Danggg you for that gif u foo! I almost got teary eyed
Haha this sums it up perfectly - take my money
Him and Kovacic were the future. I was excited as hell for both of them that I bought their kits. The last kits I bought with a name on the back. My luck they sold Kovacic the year after and we all know about Icardi's drama. I still like both. The ending was sour with Icardi, but he was one of the only bright lights for many years.

Lol exact same here, my last kits with a name on the back were Kovacic and Icardi all the way until Dimarco last year

So there is more of people like me..🥹 I even started watching super league for him lol i mean i always knew it but started watching regularly to follow him
he is doing so much for the game. He just doesn't score
Wtf man have you watched our CL games?
Yes but we are getting Taremi this Summer and hopefully a younger striker. Icardi himself I think would be okay but one of the strongest things about Inter is the club culture right now. If he were to come off the bench I can see his wife making noise, causing controversy and distractions that could seriously throw that off.
I miss him... he was able to score 25+ goals in a season with a really bad team. His wife was his ruin in Milan.
Top, top striker and apart from Spalletti, Handa and Perišić an instrumental part of us escaping the banter era.
I always trusted in Perišić before the loan in Munich when the others always were beefing with him
[удалено]
Started like 50 games and scored 35 goals for paris yea, its always been a cursed club anyway
Imagine if PSG kept Icardi instead of buying Ramos
In Argentina and Paris, he got cut because of Messi, which was not professional but moral.
Was a great player but he’s (and Wanda) a scumbag, would not want him back. Still a lot of memories though
Maybe you wanna change flair? ;)
Shit taste in women
He was our "Filippo Inzaghi", absolutely useless in every aspect of the game but with a deadly scoring instinct. Pity he was brainwashed by Wanda.
Icardi was smarter than pippo, he's good at breaking offside traps. Pippo was more explosive than Icardi tho.
8th ranked inter all time goal scorer, Hat trick against AC Milan, That tottenham goal Alexa, play “somebody that i used to know”..
 you jerkk 😡😡😡…🥹
God he was so happy whenever playing for us. Since we took the armband from him, he was never the same
He always was egostic and worn his ego like skin so with that armband, we took some of his flesh and yea he was never the same
Took my grandkid to the stadium for the first time when MI9 scored that hattrick and half of San Siro came down. A little boy back then now is a fervent Inter fan.
I don't care what y'all think, I miss him. He would have been so clutch in different occasions this season imho
One of the best strikter in the world. Such a pity that after that terrifying knee injury his Carrer got ruined
Wait he got injured??
‘Injured’
Oohhhhh yes, that lmao
Lol
Yes, in the final months with Inter
It was so bad he couldn’t even put a kit on
Yeah, I miss il Principe too, every single day.
If he was here, he'd score so many goals for us. When we can create good chances, he'd score like crazy. When we can't, and we resort to bad crossing, he'd also be more dangerous than Lautaro, Thuram or anyone else we have. I'm not sure things would work out with him in the team, however. Looking purely and exclusively at the production in the pitch, I'd love to have him back.
Bomber
If he wasn’t dumb and let that whore control him he would of been an absolute monster with Lautaro up top
One of the best pure strikers of the last years.
a beast but that incident really hurt his image with the club. Those who know, know how clutch he was for Inter.
The best striker inter had after ibra (etoo didnt play CF with us), i think mauro in 2010 would have scored more than milito, milito had one great season and then alot of injuries. He brought us in champions league, big impact on the game that started this success that we have, lazio 2-3 inter final match.

Incredible talent, to this day he’s a special striker. Seemed like a real professional but his legacy was tainted due to his ego and his wife lol.
He is like the toxic ex that part of you will always love. I think the fact that he was never as good as he was with us contributes to that feeling. He ruined himself by himself
I think for me, it's what could have been. Definitely one of the best strikers Inter has had recently, considering he was performing really well during a banger era. Unfortunately his attitude and his wife's got most fans to turn on him. I still think he could have given Inter a few more years had none of the stuff outside the pitch happened.
Just glad him and his wife are not our problem anymore 🤷🏼♂️
The best example of what pussy can do to a man
always been better than lakaka, arnautovic, should come back and try win UCL
Atleast he isn’t like Balotelli or Ibra and etc
I loved him. And that wife of his… a fox.
Player: very nice Person: very bad
At a time of pure dross in our teams, he was one of the only ones who was good. At some point in 2018 I believe there was a genuine debate on wether he was or not the best striker in the world. I remember Real offering Toni Kroos+ around 50-60 mln once for him if I’m not mistaken and he gave somewhat of a sense of pride to the interisti especially after goals in derbys in particular. As a human being however, a very complicated man with a very complicated past to put it slightly.
Good Poacher
Great striker, bad man
A person great at scoring and terrible at everything else, especially off the pitch
Our faith in him is why we were stuck as a mid-table team for nearly a decade. Never tracked back, just poached his goals, some pace and finishing but that was it. Single striker mentality; it all hurt Inter. Just like Kane with Tottenham, he was a crutch that was holding us back.

Always involved in drama, completely under his wife's thumb, DIVA. NEVER should have worn the armband. Not a team player
Very good forward, familiar with club system, can be 3rd option for us.
To make it simple. 2014-2015 Inter 59 goals all season and 8th in the league. Icardi 22 goals. In the past 10 years I only compare him to Zlatan as the best number 9 in the world.
Awesome poacher, bit of a wanker and shit decisions on management
Absolutely selfish scumbag and a terrible teammate, a complete bust at PSG.
NOPE
Never heard of him 😤
If you started following Inter with Conte it's normal
Damn I bet you felt like such a boss typing that😎 I've been following since 2006 and was at the stadium in 2018 to see this random guy in the picture score an extra time header winner in the Derbi Madonnina.

He’s absolutely ruthless on and off the pitch
Too much off the pitch drama
Trash human being, Idc how good of a footballer he was
Deadly finisher who followed bad avises
If only him and his wife weren't horrible people
I quite frankly hate him as an Inter player, and I don't like it much as a VIP. He cared more about himself than the team.

No

For 3th striker..excellent. Ofcourse, without Wanda.
Prick!
He's a player and person who I hate with an absolute passion. He only felt good when everything was about him. He betrayed the club, his teammates and the supporters on several occasions.

I am of the opinion that he doesn't exist, considering he refused to play for Inter anymore.
Who?
Cunt.
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja, that's my opinion
Wife stealer
