    Marcelo Brozović

    Definitely feeling this. It's very strange to remember being ungodly frustrated when he refused a transfer to Chelsea, after we kept trying him in more advanced positions and it just wasn't working out. I would've been fine losing him for cheap at the time just to rid ourselves of a salary; he...

    Achraf Hakimi

    Ok, yeah, not gonna lie... I'm thoroughly depressed here. How is it possible to be this cursed when it comes to finding FB/WBs? D'Ambro is like our lone positive at the position over the past decade. We looked like a different team when Cancelo was here and playing well, and it was the same...

    Spezia - Inter (21 Apr 21) [1-1]

    :lol: I know a grand total of one... Farias. He was with Lecce last year and for a relegation team he looked totally okay. This *should* be in the bag but of course, it's us. I'm gonna say another 1-0 nail-biter.

    Inter - Shakhtar (9 Dec 20) [0-0]

    Pretty sure tiebreaker is head-to-head, so we must win, and the other game must be any result except a tie.

    2020/2021 Defenders Rumours Thread

    This was my thought. I posted a month ago in the Palmieri thread that Kostic would be my #1 (realistically obtainable) target for the left side. He's definitely a LWB, not a LB... but presuming with stay with a back 3, there'd be nobody up-front that opposing defenses didn't have to pay...

    Emerson Palmieri

    Have to say I agree with what seems to be the prevailing thought in this thread, which is that I question whether Emerson is even an upgrade / sure starter. If he's our only option, then I don't want to spend the money we'd need to spend to get him. Loan with option would be fine, nothing...

    Verona - Inter (9 Jul 20) [2-2]

    Said to my wife while we were still up "if we fail to win this, it'll be in large part because we're playing our classic midfield lineup of Vecino/Gags/Borja. I get we need to rotate but we should still never be playing all of them at once in any situation where the result is in doubt. Totally...

    2019/2020 Defenders Rumours Thread

    Yes in the case of Vertonghen. They are not excluded because they aren't related to the acquisition or development of youth player, and they are not related to stadium or equipment cost or upkeep. Agent commissions are treated as capital, since they are part of the cost of acquisition and not...

    Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

    Would you believe that answer changes based on circumstances? :) 1. First, if we're talking things like agent fees/bonuses upon signing... that's part of the cost of the acquisition, so it's treated as capital, same as the transfer fee itself. 2a. If we're talking signing bonus to the player...

    Udinese - Inter (2 Feb 20) [0-2]

    He definitely looked lost / out-of-place to me. When we were in our attacking half, we kept playing it straight from deep into the strikers, whereas he looked like he was expecting it to come to him for him to create. And then on D he did... not much, which we expected. So overall he just...

    Christian Eriksen

    Huh. Takes me by surprise no one got I was joking on that part. Probably my fault, I forget there aren't a lot of Americans here. The " gon' " was meant to be a cue that I was aping an ignorant down-south hick (the people who voted Trump into office), combined with the running joke that FiF...

    Christian Eriksen

    Exactly. And now Eriksen gon’ be like “oh, Inter tied to Lecce? Maybe joining them isn’t such a good idea after all...” We should’ve just ponied up the cash a week ago. Practice or no practice he coulda been an impact sub in this game.

    Matteo Politano

    I do honestly feel bad for Politano here (not Spinazzola since he seemed looked petulant about it throughout). It's not really his fault he doesn't have a position in Conte's tactics, and he's never said a bad word about this club so far as I remember. Hope he ends up somewhere that wants him...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Apologies, I didn't even know there was a basketball thread, and more importantly only brought up the Kings point as a counter-argument to all the "players getting along doesn't matter" stuff. I didn't think so many people would run with the basketball discussion. I tried to bring each of my...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Firstly not that big a difference, secondly it ignores context. The Jordan/Pippen Bulls played muuuuuch weaker competition that Wilt running into the 60's Celtics meat-grinder. Put Wilt in Russell's spot and he'd have 13 by himself. I stand by my point that is better to have the chemistry and...

    Romelu Lukaku

    To me this misses the point though. I'm not saying chemistry and camaraderie are a replacement for talent... I'm saying they can elevate a team to a level they weren't capable of without them. Based on talent, the Kings shouldn't have been better than the Lakers, and yet they were. The Lakers...

    Romelu Lukaku

    Could be some are overselling it, but I think you're under-selling it. Don't know how familiar with NBA basketball people are around here, but I grew up in Sacramento, CA, USA. Home of the Sacramento Kings. In the 2001-02 season they were on the verge of a title, and in fact should've won the...
