2020/2021 Defenders Rumours Thread

[Universe]

Who’s this Fares guy we’ve been linked too? Anyone have a scouting report on him?

I mentioned him like a year ago as a potential LB candidate but then he tore his ACL or something. Ended up missing most of last season.

Basically a younger, more energetic D'Ambrosio for the left. Would've been a candidate for a budget option but makes no sense if our LWB options for next season are Young and Kolarov. I would prefer Biraghi.

I know I only see him on youtube videos, but I really agree with you. He doesnt look to have the speed and the technique on the ball. Looks like a regular player. Just like you said, it's like to have D'Ambrosio for the left side. But not really sure if he has the luck to score goals like Dumbo.

Rumor goes Conte never really approved Kumbulla because despite him being LCB for Verona, he's still right footed and Conte wants leftie to the left. I would simply sign him with counterparts and leave him to Verona for at least an year, that should decrease the price also a little. We don't know if Conte is here after next season.

We won't need Kumbulla if Conte is not around, unless we manages to get rid of both Skriniar and Godin.

In the unlikely scenario that he stays for 2021-22, then Kumbulla can be a target for the RCB since we won't have anyone else there and Bastoni will be the definite starter.

Either way, if we don't go for him in this mercato he's very likely to end up at Lazio. Along with Fares who we are also eyeing.

So predictable. Conte only cares about today and especially this season. His target is going all in this season in order to win Scudetto and then making a spectacular exit.

We should buy Kumbulla and loan him out for the next season.

Is he ok with that, though?

Don’t rate Biraghi at all.. Not Inter 2020-2021 quality.

I agree Biraghi isn't good enough for Inter. He was good only against weak teams. But i would still take him over Kolarov for the wingback position. At least he can run.

It seems godin might be on the way out too. He's improved but can't say I disagree with this as he's very expensive

I hope he succeeds. Its will be great to win the scudetto, its high time Inter got ambitious to target to win now. Conte can fuck off after that if he wants. I always assumed we have got Conte to win in the short term, never expected him to stick around long term anyways.

If buying 2-3 experienced champions helps us win the scudetto this season, its totally worth it IMO. We have enough young or below 30 players for the future. Bastoni, Skriniar, Hakimi, Barella, Sensi and Martinez are all 25 or under, while De Vrij, Brozovic, Lukaku, Eriksen, etc are good for many years too. So our squad can afford a 2-3 experienced champions (specially if they replace old players like Valero, Candreva, etc).

Hence I don't mind if Inter sign Kante, Vidal, Kolarov, Dzeko, etc to go after the Scudetto this season. Its about fucking time.

The present is no less important than the future.

And he was quite good. Biggest mistery why we let him go.

Inter have payed a €1.5 million fee for the season long loan of Telles from Galatasaray. Inter have also agreed a €8.5 million option to buy Telles. Everybody was expecting Inter to pay that money, but then somebody (guess who?) negotiated with the turks. Sporting director Piero Ausilio has been in contact with Gala about lowering the agreed price, as the Beneamata must comply with Financial Fair Play. Porto dove in and bought him for €6.5m

Tagliafico and Telles for sure. The price would be similar to Emerson. There's also Reguilon available at a similar but I am not very keen on him as Real want to include a buyback clause.

Robin Gosens / Marcos Alonso / Júnior Firpo / Mohamed Fares / Lucas Digne / Filip Kostić / Marcel Halstenberg... whatever, since Zhang just gave decision-making power to Conte...

I think we might wait for Telles a bit: 2021 free transfer. Until then, 3.5m/year to Kolarov and he wants a 2 year contract.

LWB is the least important position we need to invest in. We're unspectacular there, but very much stable.

According to Sky, Inter have put the deal for Kumbulla on hold because they're signing Kolarov. I was never as hyped for Kumbulla as other members but this is hilarious. Conte's at the wheel. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Jnr]

Vidal, Kolarov and one 28ish . And thats it. Thats 3 key players for Conte. Also selling bench with either done deal sales or loans with obligation. No more gifts of giving just loans > player having awesome season ( Radja, Perisic) then coming back because the loanee is telling that 'player A is too old, give us discount'

They can start a fire up their cracks and launch into space

I mean, would Telles even be mentioned as a possibility by any of us if he hadn't played for Inter previously? And not all that recently, either. By the time the summer of 2021 rolls around, it'll have been five full seasons since he played here, and we would've gone through four different permanent managers since he played here under Mancini. If he didn't have a one year pit stop here, I'm not sure any serious discussion about him would even exist. There's not all that much around now that was here when he played here.

I don't get it. Isn't Kolarov gonna play LWB? How are those two things related?

Rumour has it Conte mostly sees Kolarov as a Bastoni backup and we're still going to sign another LWB.

Hopefully Reguilon is the solution
