I have just heard Chalobah name and I barely see Acerbi play, but my vote is on the former 100 %. We do not only need backup CB, but we also need someone who keeps our primary CB on the hop. We need someone trying his best to claim starting position which subsequently raises our team standard. Chalobah and Akanji tick the boxes, Acerbi does not. The mercato team should stop doing same mistake of recruting old "reliable" Italian-proven and exploring new talent instead.

you've never laughed at yourself after a fuck up? Human emotions are too complex for you to just box and predict the outcomes. Athletes are humans too, who knows how you or I would react in a stadium of thousands of italian (thus highly emotional) fans. Anyone can talk shit from the safety of your own home "if that were me..." etc.

It's no surprise to me that a cancer survivor doesn't take sports so seriously and finds humor in shitty situations.
No and I have never seen an Inter player do it either.

Why the fuck are they talking about an obligation to purchase this cunt?
Because Lotito knows how to screw us over a deal. It has actually become a tradition. He even wants us to pay for Acerbi July and August wages. :lol:

gds thinks we are still waiting on Chalobah and Akanji before we close this deal, which is pretty much done.

I admit to never have seen Chalobah play, but seeing the track record of English players or former PL players in general in recent years in Italy, we should give him a try, even if it’s just a dry loan. Acerbi is a waste of money

According SportMediaset, we blocked him for now, as Akanji is the priority. It seems like this guy will be our last option.

Only if the club does not manage to sign a better defender.

So yes, there are high chances for this loan to happen as Lazio need to get him off the books and his relationship with the ultras is beyond repair.

I expect we take Acerbi in the last days of the mercato and sign Akanji on a free in January for next summer. Unless his club accepts 10M these days...

I would love to have both Akanji and Acerbi, this season will be too long plus fkn WC.

I'm pretty sure at least Inzaghi prefers Acerbi over Chalobah.

If we can sign Chalobah to some favourable loan + option deal (which I doubt), maybe management overrules Inzaghi's wishes.

Akanji would be the most interesting one for sure, let's hope we can find a loan deal with Dortmund.

^^ of course. Acerbi is Inter coach Simone Inzaghi’s first choice to be the backup to Stefan de Vrij.
Calciomercato.com report that the Nerazzurri coach is keen on a reunion with the 34-year-old with whom he worked for three seasons while at Lazio, and that the player has promised to secure a move from the Biancocelesti.

Sky Sport Italia: the substance of an agreement is already in place between the two clubs but that they still must hammer out two final details:

1. Acerbi is still owed his wages for the months of July and August, and the Biancocelesti are not keen to pay them if he leaves on loan to join Inter, so he will either have to forego the wages that he is owed or the Nerazzurri will have to pay them in the form of a loan fee to Lazio. :yao:


2. It still remains to be seen definitively whether there will be a purchase option in the deal, or whether there will be a mandatory obligation for the Nerazzurri to make the deal a permanent one when the 34-year-old’s loan ends. :palm:
No obligation and fuck Lotito with that fee!

Lazio need to offload him more than Inter need him, so Inter should set the conditions this time.

Agreed.

They will try saying to Dortmund: "Give us Akanji for free now!" until the last day of mercato, they will obviously reply: "F*ck no!", then on the last day we will get f*cking Acerbi. Then hopefully we strike a free deal for Akanji in January like we did for Onana, but I wouldn't be too sure about that.
