Apologies in advance for the trashing you're about to recieve this weekend.

Aw, how cute. Norwegian banter.

Seedorf is up there as one of the greatest players ever, criminally underrated. Classy character too.

I can never get over this goal. So absurd the way he struck it. It's like if the net wasn't there it would still be flying through the air now.

Klaus

Every time I see Seedorf I'm reminded that Inter sold him. We give Arsenal a lot of stick for failing to identify great players, but Inter went out of their way to get rid of Baresi, Pirlo and Seedorf. The three of them went on to win like a billion trophies for Milan. 😆

Dont forget Bergkamp and more recently Coutinho

Barca and Schalke

I was born and partially grew up right near Selhurst Park, always followed Palace with interest.

Hope you channel your inner Crystal to help them win today.

Doesn't seem to be working out.

I'm not sure if it's West Brom or Palace who play the more boring football...

Yeah, but both were flops in Italy. Those three guys went on to become legends for Inter's worst rival. Selling Seedorf, Pirlo and Baresi to Milan is like if we had sold Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Tony Adams to Spurs just before they broke through. There would be riots. 😆

Bryant

Klaus, Inter didn't sell the better Baresi to Milan. I think they had both Baresi brothers for trial and only signed the older one.

As for Seedorf and Pirlo (and Cannavaro too), what they got in return was 😆. Some of the worst swap deals ever.

Klaus

Yeah, I know they technically didn't own Baresi. It's almost as bad though! Possibly the greatest defender in modern time and they turned him down because they thought he was too small. Jesus wept.

Inter got the world beater Dražen Brncic in return for Pirlo, didn't they? That has to be the most epic swap deal in history.

Bryant

I had to look at that name 😆, but yeah it was him.

Another Seedorf clip:

Klaus

I love how Cuper looks like he's all: "Shit. Now I have to play him in the next game." How many great players did Inter lose under him? Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Seedorf, Crespo... costly manager.

I remember watching that game, was rooting for Juventus as my Italian friends' family were all hardcore Juve supporters but couldn't help but be in awe of those two strikes. Football as a sport and spectacle peaked in Serie A between the late 80s and early 00s.

Also talking of Seedorf reminds me of this pic 😆

Faaaarrrk Is that real?
Clrnc is ripped!
