Is there anyone really worth at least 50m that does fit in the new coach's system?

That De Vrij-VDB picture is giving me Modric PTSD. ("#who'smissing?" Perisic, Vrsaljko, Brozovic picture)

You mean to tell me you can't think of any good central midfielders or strikers that would be a more appropriate way of spending that money? You know every single player in the world, I know you can name a bunch of players that make more sense, you are just having a laugh.

Well, I sure know Lukaku isn't one.

As for good central midfielders, I'd be more than happy with Barella, Milinkovic-Savic and a backup like Stefano Sensi to replace Vecino/Gagliardini, Joao Mario and Borja Valero. But odds say that if we do end up with Barella, the other two guys will be Xhaka and Fellaini... Rumours about guys like Eriksen, van der Beek, Bruno Fernandes and Pellegrini are nice to hear, but it's as likely as signing SMS at this point for all of them.

The fact that there are very strong rumours about guys like Lazaro, Dzeko, Lukaku and rumours about a bunch of others that even Milan would reject in the position they are now suggests that there's a likelihood that this will be the level of players we'll be getting. And we'd be overpaying to get them.

For example I doubt anyone wouldn't prefer us going for Manuel Lazzari for that RWB spot. Probably just 15m, maybe add a couple of loanees there, a potential NT perennial member and a very good player altogether who does play in this position. On the other hand, we're going for a Candreva clone who has not played much RWB at club level.

We do not seem to be following the Best Player Available strategy for our needs. Not even most suitable player.

The whole pre-season vibe feels just off. I'm very worried that by 2021 our biggest challenge would be to make Champions League again and it'll take to 2025 to untie our hands from what will follow to achieve that. Call me a pessimist or whatever, but please tell me why would any Inter fan be optimistic right now? I don't see us upgrading anywhere. Except for Barella who is a player we've been trying to sign for 2 seasons now... And Godin who was done before Conte even had his first nightmare of being the Inter manager.

I really wish I had the confidence to think I knew more than Conte or the Inter management. I have been coaching for a long time at the youth level and have even been very successful, but I would never think for one second that I know better than a manager like Conte, about which player would fit better into HIS system.

Sky - During the mission in Madrid, Inter looked for a player who could replace Borja Valero. They asked Real for Llorente, answer: 40 mln, a set back immediately. And from here comes the interest in Sensi

la grande potenza di Suuuuning!

We will reach the top with Sensiiii!

we can't spend 40M, but at least we have nice new headquarters. If Suning won't be able to buy quality players, how the fuck should we expect good results? This team needs a star player, not average guys like Sensi or Lazaro. Until we will sign some big time player we can expect to fight for that shitty 4th spot while Juve is ahead of us by 30 points. Good times.

It took Losilio two seasons to notice that Valero needs to be replaced. Members talk about Inter being a big club, how can such a useless manger stay at Inter for so many years?

Check few posts above why. From 40m€ Llorente to 20-25m€ Sensi.

If we can't buy even 40m€ player by cash, then we've been taken for a ride.

Inter is coming. Not for everyone. Yeah, definitely not for a sane person who expects something from the ownership.

I know but why did he give Valero a three year contract when even Spalletti considers him a 45 year old? Isn't this poor judgement on the of Losilio?

Why should we blame Suning for not spending 40M for Lorente, who even is this guy?

Wtf are you blabbing about? Spalletti was starting Valero over Brozovic even... The first game he did not start in the first season was vs Benevento, match day 26.

It's a U21 game. Piatek sucked in those if I remember correctly.

True that, probably not withing our reach either.

Tonali looks quite the player too.
