I guess he means from a sporting point of view. That we can't afford anyone else close to Dybala level.

The issue is Dybala has many levels, so beside his injury record and high salary I'm not sure if he's worth the gamble.

Even if he misses 10 games a season, he is a difference maker in the rest. And he fits our team like a glove.

Salary is not an issue considering it's a free transfer. Go for it, Beppe.

So far this season missed games: 15
Last season missed games: 21

Salary is an issue, no matter if it's a free transfer. It drives up other salaries too.

Signing Dybala to 7.5m€ + bonuses deal would be a huge risk. Specially if it's 4-5 years.

Signing Dybala is going to fuck the team's salary balance.

He missed 21 fucking games last season and has missed 15 so far this season! Are you guys fucking nuts!? Are we signing a striker or a band aid! Dybala can fuck off to the Premier league or France where they can afford for players to enjoy injury rehab vacations and still have deep enough pockets to spend on someone else if it doesn't workout. We can't afford that luxury, there is no win win here. It would be a miracle if the injuries were no longer a factor, his age and the fact that he wasn't even consistent enough is another red flag. Nah! Very hard pass.

We can think it like this:

- we have Dybala and 1.5-2m backup striker who plays half the season for SS role
- or we have two 4.5-5m strikers for SS role.

I would not stress about Dybala that much? I bet Inter is his 3-4th option? Lots of things has to happen before we can eaven offer that big salary to a player and we have to first clear Sanchez situation.

Eather is just a media making a story or Inter board try to complicate negotions and Juve have to offer more and that will eat their wage budget?

But if we can get Sanchez out with minimal loss and get Dybala in Im ok with that.

Dybala would be big player to Inter squad and Inter brand. Shirt sales, sponsors, ticket revenue will have a positive impact and compensate some of that salary. Now we lack those big world class players… Barella, Lautaro are our biggest stars, but Dybala is world class name in football world.

Also we supporters and Marotta would have little swipe at Juve and when you get big players in your team, it will be easier to lure other big players in too.

Sanchez is injury prone and Dybala is injury prone so +-

Sanchez has high salary and Dybala has high salary so +- (not sure do we still have that tax compensation for Sanchez wage?)

But what I think is the most important thing Dybala could have a bigger influens to our game than Sanchez?

But 5 year deal for declining injury prone player is a big gamble for sure!

I think the most important thing is to get a prima punta, a proper CF to fill the gap left by Lukaku/Icardi. Dzeko is just a stop gap solution, and is best used as back up to that role. Not sure who we can afford, perhaps Scamacca if the management thinks he has potential, ideally someone more ready. This is irrespective of whether we can replace Sanchez with Dybala or not.

The only way I see Inter going for Dybala is if a big offer for Martinez arrives. We replace him with Dybala for free, use some of those funds to get someone like Scamacca, and then get rid of Sanchez to make further savings. That sounds like a Marotta move. In this case, we would end up with Dybala (Correa) - Scamacca (Dzeko).

However Martinez (Correa) - Scamacca (Dzeko) is most likely what the club is planning. Personally, I would rather keep Sanchez for another year. He is our most skilled attacker, Correa is a downgrade IMO (I still don't understand why we bought him). It won't happen, but if we get rid of Correa and replace him with Scamacca or a better prima punta, I would be satisfied.

I agree, a player like Dybala with his injury track record for 5 years is madness, however, what are the options? What elite level player can we onboard that's capable of delivering 2 goals in a must win quarter-final tie? raspadori cant even score a brace against a mid table italian team and he's valued at 40m. It simply comes down to what are we targeting next season. If we want to stand toe to toe with Bayern and RM then an elite level player is paramount, even if he guarantees no more than 30 or so games a season. You look at players like Reus and Robben who were mainstays at their respective clubs because they were difference makers.

Dybala is not an elite player. On his good days he might play like a star, but consistency is not one of his best strengths.

lets hope it stays that way

Dzeko 36 Suarez 35 Sanchez 33 in one team? yikes

what if this sanctions continue with Chelski, and get even more serious, will the players start seeking termination of contracts? and will they have right to do so?
I mean, if by any means they won't have conditions to perform and stuff like that, will the league even go so far?

^^ no, players will not seek termination because they are getting payed. No right to do so, because they are under contract.

The sanctions imposed on Abramovich simultaneously means he can no longer sell the club, unless the government do it on his behalf and ensure he doesn’t receive a penny of the proceeds, and Chelsea cannot operate at 100% functionality.

Under the sanctions they can no longer sell any merchandise out of the club store and cannot sell any additional match day tickets, with only season ticket holders set to be allowed to attend games at the Bridge. They are also now unable to get players to sign new contracts and cannot sell or buy players in the transfer market.

However, the government have issued a special license which grants Chelsea the ability to fulfil their football matches for the foreseeable future and pay staff as normal.

So Chel$ki cannot offer new contracts, like for Rudiger, but they could extend Azpilicueta, thanks to having a clause in the existing contract that can be triggered.

When was the last time Dybala did that? To be honest, whenever I watched him in UCL he failed to deliver at top level (knock-out stage), let alone make the difference.

Dybala could be great to unlock couple of Serie A defences to be honest, he has those nice shots from distance. I`m sure Marotta would like to sign him and offload Sanchez.

Not fair to compare Raspadori to him, very different phase in career and Raspadori never had a top team around to play with.

If it continues past 31 May and there is no new special agreement to pay players then there will be mass exodus.

The current special agreement is only valid till end of the season.

I can't see Roman getting of the sanction list any time soon. Nor can I seen him giving away the club for free.

They can't extend azpillicueta. Triggering the clause is considered a new contract. They aren't allowed to sign new contracts.

Man, I really hope marotta doesn't bite, it just isn't worth a risk. Sensi and correa are as clear wake-up calls as you can get regarding those injuries.

To be honest we would be better off going for a pacey striker. Even someone like Martial. I like Dybala and I would take him on a free for sure. However, he doesn’t necessarily scratch our biggest itch.
