I believe Marotta and Conte know pretty well what they are doing. Dont' pay too much attention on their words for the press.

It is interesting to see who would Conte blame if Inter signs the experienced players he wanted or most of them these and then somehow we fail to win? The pitch, the weather, the ref?

I think first of all he said we had four absences.

Skriniar, Asamoah, Barella. Cannot name the 4th one.

Second, you cannot say "if we have injuries there's no one to cover for them"! You have a roster of 25 people and you can only field 11. It's insulting towards your players to say this. You could say that the reserves did not play up to the required standards for example. This is plain unprofessional. What does he say to Valero, Vecino and Gagliardini all day long? That they suck and don't deserve to be at the club?

I think he meant D'Ambrosio as the 4th one.

Rumours suggest there are multiple clubs interested in Politano (Roma, Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli). There are also rumours of a few clubs interested in Vecino (Milan and Spurs), and in Gabigol (Flamengo, Barcelona, Spurs, West Ham and Chelsea).

Now all these could be just rumours, or pure luck. Or maybe Marotta's slow and miserly policy is helping in some manner. Whatever it is, its good to see a situation where we are creating demand for our bad rubbish, rather than paying them to leave. I don't believe in coincidences, so if we do end up moving these players at decent prices, I will give our management all the credit for this.

If we loan Gabigol after the season he has had then yea we should just start giving players for free. No point in trying to sell our team just isn’t smart enough to.

I could put up with how about we start adding players into trades. Fact Icardi, Perisic went out on Loan is crazy. They have played well hope those loans become permanent

It's indeed nice, but I'm celebrating after we've actually made some real sales (without huge discounts). For example Politano, I'm pretty certain Milan or Roma won't offer any direct buy kind of deals, only loan + options will be there at the table.

Selling Politanto for Roma for less that 40m is a crime after robbing us in the Nainggolan -Zaniolo swap. Marotta seems to be a tough negotiator but We need to see this in actual deals in which our players are sold forcwhat are worth or much higher than they are worth.

The thing is, Conte knows he's getting his targets.

He knows fucking Ashley Young is coming, at his request.
He knows that Olivier freaking Giroud is coming, at his request.
He knows that we made a bid for Vidal and we're going to keep bidding, at his request.
He knows that we have agreed terms with Eriksen and that we are probably going to sign him sooner rather than later. Maybe he's not a big fan of this move?

What he said is a blatant attack towards his subordinates. He pretty much said that the responsibility of the result lies on their inadequacy rather than whatever he could have done different. That's pathetic. And unprofessional as fuck.

Imagine your manager at work telling the CEO that the assigned project didn't go well because he was stuck with useless people because his best people were on some sort of leave. I'm pretty sure everyone, from top to bottom, wouldn't be saying "well, he's right".

People want Politano, Vecino and Valero out of squad and then someone say it out loud and give those players a hint that they should take the offer and leave! People here go after Conte and Marotta :palm:

I think we are waiting to get rid of like Politano, Vecino, Valero, Gags... who dont offer that much and we need to get these guys out and get more suited players to their replacement! We simple media game thats all!

What did Sachez who is valued by Mu for 25m do at Inter? Vecino scored more than Sanchez in the first half of the season.

He will eventually be useful, let's say from half February on.

Then he will return to United and marotta will replace him with Mertens.

Trust me. Useless players are hard to miss. You will see for youself. It pains me to notice that Parma returned Karamoh to Inter after his long injury. But Marotta seems to have enjoyed keeping a shadow player like Sanshit.

He was very good in the match Vs Sampdoria. If he can play at that level for 3 months, then he might be one of the key elements for the scudetto.

By good did you mean he got two yellow cards in less than 15 minutes, and we Inter had to strgugglw with one player down for the rest of the match? He is a loose gun and Conte didn't trust him after that match. So why is he still at Inter?

When did that happen? As far as i know, Karamoh is still at Parma.

I am usually optimistic but this club teaches you to be pessimistic and expecting the worst all the time.

Sanchez was hurt. Fine line between pessimism and paranoia.

I liked Sanchez when he was at Barca and Udinese. But signing him in the summer was a retarded move though.

By retarded, he means that our transfer was made late.
