Sounds like scapegoating a player who started the season as the strongest in his position, just because the man in charge cannot work something around his best players.

Abu Bader · Aug 15, 2020

This is how I see it, if the club and fans are willing to ignore the signs of love and loyalty coming from Skriniar because he doesn't fit into our short term plans, that's fine.

But on the other hand, they can't be vilifying any player later on for choosing himself over the club interests.

You can't be having it both ways. In my opinion the club will be sending the wrong message by selling Skriniar.

Luka, yes we disagree on that. Lautaro and Skriniar are players we can make the biggest plusvalenza, maybe Bastoni too. But him being young Italian and playing so well, obviously we're not selling him. Skriniar has been struggling but it's indeed scapegoating to blame him for all the troubles when he plays. Let's put him on with D'Ambrosio as the RWB and let's see how much that flank leaks then.

My point is, we want to sell a player who can generate us money. They wanted to sell Lautaro but there's no buyer for club's valuation of the player. Apparently for Skriniar there are buyers (atm it seems Spurs for a swap deal to their very inconsistent failure signing of last season, but let's see about that). It might be Skriniar doesn't want to leave anywhere and wants to fight for his spot.

Exactly, very well said. If they force Skriniar out, it indeed sends a wrong message. Getting attached to the club means jack shit, you are as expendable as everyone else (and we're not talking about some fringe player here, but on average the best CB in the club durint his time here, let's not be a prisoners of the moment)

This was the direction we signed up for when we hired Marotta.

Brozovic, Skriniar, Lautaro, Icardi [last year], Perisic [last and this year] were always the guys we'd actively look to sell for plusvalenza. I expect that we'll be trying to offload Brozovic and Skriniar before the start of the new season. Lautaro is different due to lack of depth there and the fact that we need a lot of funds to get someone to be effective enough and bring results.

FWIW, D'Ambrosio was Marotta's first target for plusvalenza. He tried to get rid of him for around 10m in January 2019 but DDA refused to leave (iirc he had already signed a new contract a few months back) because he wanted to bring Darmian and also add some capital gains to the books. This is how he operates and this was always my main objection about hiring the guy. The fact that he was overrated for "building" Juventus just added a lot sauce to this.

With the signing of Kumbulla I think this guy is as good as gone. Question is, where? Real Madrid allegedly are interested to spend money on him (at least 50 million.) On the other hand, we have that straight swap with Ndombele.

If Real rumours are true, that's the deal we should get.

Like I said, personally, we gave up on him too easily, but what does it mean. Club obviously decided anyways and the work seems like being in progress already.

brehme1989 · Aug 15, 2020

But why on earth would Skriniar go to Tottenham?

Palatiga · Aug 15, 2020

If it’s real i would accept something like raguilon + ceballos but no buyback bullshit
Big NO for ndombele

because he would start all the games? something he can't right now?

If Chelsea offers enough money, that would be the proper step for Skriniar. He would be the star defender in a team where there really need a player like that.

He could start all games at Getafe as well.

I don't think we gave up on him that easily. Bastoni is that good and took his starting job away. End of discussion. De Vrij is not going to be replaced anytime soon and Godin playing like an animal. Tough decisions ahead.

:rollani: good one. Obviously Tottenham and the EPL is still a very attractive destination for many players.

ADRossi · Aug 15, 2020

Why are people bailing the club out of a terrible decision? We don't need plusavenza. FFP isn't real. Man City have proved that. PSG has proved that. Not to mention there are relaxed financial standards this year because of the pandemic.

We don't need to sell Skriniar for financial purposes, and anyone telling you otherwise is just peddling for the club. We could easily swap Vecino or Gagliardini for some deadwood (ala Danilo to Juve) to juice some capital gains if we needed to. But we don't NEED to, we're simply choosing to do so because our stubborn manager who will be gone by 2022 thinks Skriniar isn't good enough.

wera · Aug 15, 2020

It's easier to sell Skriniar than Vecino and Gags.

qb4ever_2k · Aug 15, 2020

I’m not saying Skriniar doesnt have the potential, but why is no one here even consider the posibility that Skriniar may indeed be not good enough? I mean the same way they treated Lautaro when he’s off form?

He didn't arrive yesterday. We know who Skriniar is. And even a blind person can understand the reasons why he's not at his best. "Not good enough" is the last answer anyone would give.

Lui · Aug 15, 2020

It's not about loyalty, it's about performance. No one is taking anything away from skriniars commitment to Inter. Dont act like he's being thrown out in garbage, because it's likely he will land at a bigger club with a clear role.

Ridiculous way and reason to sell him, when he is out of form and out of the first team, while being class. Sqaud building is more impprtant than coach's preferences.

This would be a mistake on the level of Rube selling Dybala.

varmin · Aug 15, 2020

If the management (Zang and Marotta) intend to keep Contre for at least two more seasons, regardless of his outbursts and salty comments, than is useless to keep Skriniar and stall his development. For the team will be beneficial if we upgrade the RCB position with someone more suitable like Kumbulla, as well. Don't also forget that if Skriniar has another season like this one, his value will drop more.
On the other hand, if Zangs are not fully convinced by Conte, it'll be stupid to get rid of Skriniar and let's say soon after to look for another CB when Conte is out and the new coach changes to 4 men defense.
It's all about the right assessement.

CafeCordoba · Aug 15, 2020

Our hope is we are usually good at signing CBs. Only considerable fail was Ranocchia, but even that was more about the environment he landed than anything else. It's just so tough to lose a player of Skriniar's level and attachment.
