2021/2022 Forwards Rumours Thread

I think this is why almost all our central defender rumors involve free transfers, so we can save up some cash for the striker.

He’s really never scored more then 10 goals in a season at youth level? Not even at PSV?

No his current best season is 9 goals in serie b for Ascoli.

Scamacca for 20m if Pinamonti is involved as part of the price, cool.

Scamacca for 40m, absolutely get to fuck, because that buys you Jonathan David, it bought us Hakimi last year, it buys you Adeyemi, or any number of better quality players.

Striker market is so poor at the moment that anyone with an ounce of above-average talent is going to be sold for silly amounts.

There's competition for Scamacca. There's probably Tottenham that can pay in cash, there's Juventus who can offer something similar to us. I trust that the player won't want to move abroad, even if he plays for an Italian manager.

The question is, since Juventus also does not have this money, what can they offer Sassuolo? We can offer Pinamonti and a few other talents, they have no player that can be sent Sassuolo's way that's a Serie A starter. Rovella isn't going to be included, they cannot cancel the Pjaca or Mandragora loans and nobody wants to touch Ihattaren. They can give them guys like Luca Pellegrini or Daniele Rugani, everyone else is either out of Sassuolo's budget or untouchable from Juventus.

As usual with Sassuolo, the desire of the player will play its part. From our end, I think Pinamonti, another player [whether a first teamer on loan or another kid on plusvalenza experience] and some money will suffice.

Yeah, we are not going to pay 40m€ in cash. I don't understand how many times this has to be said. Clearly many times.

If we sign Scamacca, he's gonna be Dzeko's understudy, will learn a trick or two from the master. Then if he's good enough in 2023, he takes the reigns. If not, we sign a new guy and send Scamacca on loan or something.

How many goals was Immobile scoring when he was Scamacca's age?

Turned 23 before the season he became top scorer in the league for the first time with 22 goals at Torino.

Had more league goals in one season (28) at 22 (2011-2012) than Scamacca has thus far in his whole career.

Not the comparison you’d want to be making if you’re trying to prove a point.

Ayalon · Jan 3, 2022

No point to make, I was genuinely asking. I don't watch a lot of Sassuolo games so I'm just trying to figure out where the thought that he could become a top player comes from if he doesn't score goals.

thatdude · Jan 3, 2022

It’s not uncommon for strikers to struggle to score regularly at senior level until they’re 22-23. However, it’s worrying that he wasn’t even a prolific scorer at any club youth level. Usually a guy who is going to be a top level striker should be putting up some numbers in youth football.

He does have 9 in 15 at U21 level. 8 in 11 at the U19 level. He’s always been a fixture in the youth national teams.

RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot · Jan 3, 2022

That being said, he has managed to successfully pass through these divisions of youth football with said numbers. clearly there must be something more to his game.

Abu Bader · Jan 3, 2022

I haven't watched enough of Scamacca, 40m including Pinamonti still too much imo. I just can't see how he's valued at double the price of Pinamonti tbh.

vasilios · Jan 3, 2022

I don't really rate Scamacca, but even I think he's worth 2 Pinamontis. Of course on no planet is Pinamonti actually worth 20mil. That's all just bookkeeping nonsense.

This may surprise you but Pinamonti has scored more goals in SA this season than Scamacca. Pina is also a few months younger.

Sawyer · Jan 3, 2022

1 extra goal, 1 assist and 1 less game.

vasilios · Jan 3, 2022

3 of his goals are PK's while all of Scamacca's are form open play if you want to sit there ant nitpick, but really who cares? No one rates Pinamonti other than Inter fans trying to pawn him off for better players. If we can find some sucker team out there that actually values him at 20mil then we should tear their arm off

No one is claiming we are going to pay €40 million in cash. We are arguing €40mil in value(however you split it between players and cash) is too much for someone who hasn't done much in his career.

I rather spend a bit more in cash for Jonathan David or Julian Alvarez.

Corrode · Jan 3, 2022

i love Pinamonti this season. This season he can prove that he could be a deadly attacker his team need, he is starting week every week with Empoli and their top scorer so far. If he can save Empoli to survive in Serie A with banging goals every match, he could be a top striker next.

imo if Inter wants to sign someone from Sassuolo i suggest only Fratessi. Scamacca is meh at best, Raspadori too. Sign three all we need approximately 100 M Euros to Sassuolo. i dont think Suning would funding heavy transfer like that.

Exactly. The amount of cash we spend is important in terms of cash flow but it isn't the only thing that matters. His book value is going to be 40m. If the player flops, then you're stuck with him. Arthur at Juve is a similar case. They're stuck with him because of his massive value despite spending just 15m cash. These inflated deals that include counterparts really are a double-edged sword. If the player does well they look like bargains (e.g. Skriniar). But if the player flops, then they look nothing short of a disaster.

CafeCordoba · Jan 3, 2022

If Scamacca is the guy management sees our next target player, the book value isn't super important regarding financial aspect since management needs to look after the whole thing.

And Pinamonti with 15-20m€ valuation is important in that respect. Like I've said in this thread earlier, I doubt we can get more than 10m€ in cash for Pinamonti if we wanted to just sell him without any swaps. Actually I'm not sure can we do even that. He goes to a smaller team and small teams are even more fucked with COVID thus their money is extremely tight. We would make minusvalenza with Pinamonti if we sell him for 10m€. Getting 20m€ book value for Pinamonti, thus making small profit for him would be good for Inter.

I acknowledge the risk with Scamacca if he's a total bust at Inter with that huge valuation. I just don't see enormous chances for that scenario. To me cash part is more important than the book value as the reward for the high book value is the plusvalenza/avoiding minusvalenza with some of our players and getting max "value" out of them.

Il Drago · Jan 3, 2022

According to GdS, Alvarez agent is expected in Milan to hold talks with Inter (and Milan). The competition is heavy but Inter feel they're in good position.
