Maicon and Julio Cesar leave San Siro

If Maicon joins Man City that would be a great move for Mancini. Man City's defense is very suspect at this moment and having Maicon at the back would be very useful. Also he is one of those overlapping full backs so he will also strengthen the scoring ability of Man city further. Let's wait and watch how this transfer window closes. Cheers! Ram

My brother is an Inter fan and he was very disappointed to see this happening, he liked all three Brazilian players. But if they wanted to go, it is better to let them leave and I think Sneijder will also make his way out from Inter. I think that Juve will win the title in Italy without problems, even if Milan is starting to do some great transfers, like Bojan.

I am inter milan fans since 2007,absolutely i'm very disappointed with that news.Maicon,Lucio and Cesar is one of Inter stars.Maybe in Moratti mind they're already too old and have to change with young players.Casano i think to filled Forlan who leave to other club.Now Inter problem is the mental from playes.Strama still can't found the good formula to increase their performance.

I thinks yes Inter will be better this season. They need fresh player with differents condition and spirirt. I can see they have loose their passion and loosing muscle to gain more trophy and winning the game after their reach treble. so new condition with new player will be good for them.

Julio Cesar is 33 while Maicon is 31. They are not exactly young although there is still top football in them. No top teams could afford to have an aging squad. They have to make sure that there is always somebody to replace someone in the squad in case of illness/injury or loss of form. The best way is to take in younger players as the backup in the squad and introduce them to play alternatively with the older players. So that the team's fluency will not be affected by so many new players come in at the same time. I am not sure if the two Brazilian players were their regulars last season. If they were, it means that they will play with new players at their positions this season. It is always a risk how fast can new players merge into the team. I am not optimistic about Inter this season.

Yes, Inter have to release players to help them achieve success in 2010. recently they released Maicon and Julio Cesar, Massimo Moratti reason for removing them because Inter want to regenerate the squad. Both players are now playing in the Premier Primier UK. I agree with you, for the position of goalkeeper Samir Handanovic Inter have earned but for the right-back position as a replacement for Maicon I do not think inter will quickly get a replacement. maybe if the players can play their wonderful achievement better than last season.

Every team needs to renew the squad once a while. They might be hero during the success of 2010 but they had a couple of awful seasons thereafter. So, replacing them with new players is a good move forward.
