Just what I've expected. People here are happy to sell Perisic for 60m because they THINK that Inter will smartly use that money to buy multiple quality young players like Berardi/Bernardeschi and a defender/fullback.
No, we sell an already settled-in Perisic only to splash all of his sale money on a near-30 years old gamble winger who needs to settle in a new league/team.
I've said the same about Candreva's retarded transfer last summer when most people were happy about it, so let's see how this one turns out.
I didn't say that Di Maria isn't world class. My problem is with his reported cost. I'd support his transfer if he's being signed for free (out of contract) or on major discount. You don't spend 50m on nearly 30 years old players unless you're stacked with quality players in every position and have less FFP restrictions like Juve.
I'm comparing him to Candreva because we've wasted on the latter 25m that could've been spent on a quality CB instead of gambling on a 30 years old winger with no resale value. It's the same scenario with Di Maria right now.
at least we are linked with solid names like Marry's angel again...and some people still have a need to complain...un-fucking-believable...do you realize where we are now...thank god Suning has big plans...and some of you want what?! just defenders and we keep playing who exactly?! Eder and Candreva up front?
Di Maria pretty much carried Madrid when he was there.
I agree but how much resale value will Juve get for Higuain once he reaches 32/33? Imo, we should not only treat these players like Capital products producing Capital gains/losses. Their returns (more exploration), should be considered as well.
M.Adnan said:You don't spend 50m on nearly 30 years old players unless you're stacked with quality players in every position and have less FFP restrictions like Juve.
Welcome to Inter!
Even though Di Maria is one of my favorite players I have to agree with Adnan.
We don't need Di Maria. Di Maria is better suited to a team like Juve who as Adnan said already have a complete team and just looking for some experience to win the CL.
Bernardeschi would cost around the same and is much younger.
