Pjanic is a great player. He offers everything that we lack (deadly final balls, freekicks). His "bad" season at Juve was when a defensive midfielder with 3 goals and 8 assists, more assists than everyone except Lukaku here.

I would welcome him with open arms, if the price is right ofc.

Don't focus on stats. Pjanic isn't a regista. He's a #8/10. That's the reason he struggled so much when Sarri put him in front of defence and expected him to turn into Jorginho. He has great passing but he can't dictate the tempo, which is essential for a regista, and doesn't do well under pressure. If he comes to Inter, you can only use him in Eriksen position. Brozovic is much more suited than Pjanic for the regista role.

thats what the tweet said.

I wouldnt jump the gun tho, as I saw Neymar was also there before and it seems a lot of other footballers as well.

I had a really good steak there and was high on painkillers due to migraine.

10/10. Would recommend

Vidal exit rumours coming up and it would just be the start but I would not mind for sure. Vidal, Kolarov salaries are pretty good, mainly the former and I think with Vidal's age and injuries, it would be a smart move to get rid of him/them. It should really help with our transfer, since we seem pretty fcked up financially.

Definitely. If we can shed vidal and save his wage we have to.

Sorry, Vidal says no. He cannot wait to enter into his 2nd year of contract on an even bigger salary ;)

Already rejected Flamengo and Marseille. Tell me a good reason for him to walk away from this club and 6.5m guaranteed :einstein:

on-topic: SMS/Kanté/De Paul/Malinovskyi > we all want SMS (crazy expensive all the time, let alone these times), Kanté seems to be out of reach, so we`ll probably try to get a deal for De Paul.

That Pjanic / Arthur swap was such a massive failure for everyone involved, aside from the money laundering aspect

That was a financial transaction, nothing else. No footballing aspects considered there. It helped both clubs tremendously so it wasn't a massive failure for the clubs at all. For Barca it was obviously worse as they got the 30-year-old Pjanic with huge wage and now they don't even use him. But of course it was worse for them because they needed the money more than Juve.

Do they have meeting Zanetti on the menu?

Unfortunately not. This was the day before our home derby with Milan do nobody from the club was there, despite rumours that Lautaro often visits.

It was full of Maltese people, though :einstein:

Funny enough, when I was there it was the day after the home derby with Milan and there were a bunch of players in the private room in the back.

Before the games players are together at the team's place or a hotel and aren't allowed to go out. After game it's quite common to see them hang together, possibly celebrate wins or birthdays.

So what you're saying is:

Inter 21/22

Handanovic
Skriniar de Vrij Bastoni
Hakimi Barella Brozovic De Paul Neymar
Lukaku Lautaro

We would sign Neymar to play LWB, only to bench him for Darmian.

If the report from Sky is accurate, it will probably be like this:

Inter 21/22

Radu
D'Ambrosio Ranocchia Pirola
Lazaro Vecino Gagliardini Agoume Darmian
Pinamonti Esposito

Damn, did you get to see anybody close-up? Man, you were living the dream. Just a glance through the doors and I'd fall from fainting, especially if Zanetti were there.

Zamorano was the only player I saw close-up, got my picture taken with him like a nerd. Zanetti was the only other player I saw, but apparently JC, Cambiasso and others were there as well.

I just wish there was a way we could keep all 3 of Vidal, 9golan and Sanchez. maybe they would agree to get a pay cut or something and I want Conte to bring 9G and Vidal back to life like he did with Perisic and Eriksen.
