Ex Inter Milan Defender Praises Summer Signings: ‘Sucic Has Quality & Personality, Bonny Will Carve Out Playing Time For Himself’

Massimo Paganin believes Petar Sucic has “quality and personality” and that striker Ange-Yoan Bonny will receive playing time at Inter Milan.

The former Nerazzurri defender gave his thoughts on the two summer signings to News.Superscomesse.it.

Inter Milan have made a few notable signings this summer.

The first player that the Nerazzurri signed was midfielder Petar Sucic. The Croat arrived in June, after Inter had actually already agreed a deal to sign him from Dinamo Zagreb in February.

Meanwhile, wingback Luis Henrique also signed for Inter in June.

Then, Inter made striker Ange-Yoan Bonny their third signing of the summer. The Frenchman followed Cristian Chivu to the Nerazzurri from Parma.

Lastly, Inter signed midfielder Andy Diouf from Lens. At the moment he is their final piece of business of the summer, although they could certainly always fit in one or two more signings before deadline day.

Paganin: “Petar Sucic Has Quality & Personality, Bonny Will Play At Inter”

Former Inter defender Massimo Paganin commented that “to be honest, I wasn’t a particularly big fan of Sucic at the Club World CUp.”

“Evidently, that was because he needed some time to settle in and adapt to Chivu’s system,” the ex-defender added.

“However, against Torino I was a fan of him. Both in terms of the personality he showed, and the quality he showed.”

Paganin called Sucic “a player who offers the ability to play either as a deep-lying playmaker or a box-to-box midfielder.”

“Inter made a great signing,” he continued. “And he’s a good player who, given the number of matches this season, can support the team.”

Then, Paganin said that “Bonny knows that at least at first, he’ll have a backup role when both Thuram and Lautaro need a breather.”

“But he’ll try to carve out a place for himself,” the former defender predicted.

“He’s gotten this season off to a great start. And he even scored a goal which will really boost his confidence.”

“Naturally he’ll still have a lot to prove,” Paganin said of Bonny. “Because to have an important role at Inter he’ll have to score those crucial goals that help the team win.”
