Its time, best for everyone concerned. I wish El Chino all the best, and hope he finally shows his obvious talent. I thik Sampdoria will be ideal for him. Or maybe he should move to La Liga, that will suit him perfectly. He still has two good seasons in him, if he stays injury free and joins a team which plays him regularily.
Recoba bids farewell to Inter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter striker Alvaro Recoba has confirmed that this will probably be his last season with the San Siro outfit. El Chino, who joined the Nerazzurri in 1997, has only appeared eight times so far this season and is eager for more playing opportunities elsewhere despite his status as a Massimo Moratti favourite.
“Yes, I believe that this will be my last campaign with Inter,” the Uruguayan international told Sky Italia on Friday. “I am not happy about it, but I am not 50 yet and my career has not come to an end already,” continued the 31-year-old.
“I have tried hard and I would have wanted to leave here by playing regularly and helping the team to win, but I haven’t been able to do that because of my fitness issues. “I cannot stay without playing,” he continued. “Appearing in five or 10 matches a year is not enough for me.
“I’m pleased that we are finally at the top of the table and that we can finally win something, but I am not happy for myself because I’m not getting a game.” Recoba, once one of the highest paid players in world football, has been a massive disappointment over the years.
Despite working under a host of different Coaches at the club, he’s never been able to live up to his potential. His best spell in the top flight arguably came during a six-month loan stint at Venezia in 1999 when he scored 10 goals in 19 games.
Walter Novellino, now at Sampdoria, was boss of the Laguna outfit at the time and could ask his club to make a summer bid for the South American if the tactician remains in Genoa. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Inter will replace Recoba with either Real Madrid’s Antonio Cassano or David Suazo of Cagliari.
