Also: why do we need a LWB? If Dimarco is staying, it means either Perisic is being sold/terminated or being played as a striker, none of which are good ideas.
I think it’s obvious we see Perisic as a way to reduce our salary bill. I think we would take an offer below his market value if it meant we could get his wage off the books and get someone on loan for less salary.

Fuuuuuuck me, enough with the fucking Chelsea LWB links. One of the few positives of Conte leaving, I thought, was that we wouldn't hear about Alonso or Emerson again.

15m is a joke by the way, the guy plays about 90 minutes every 6 weeks for them.
I know right :palm: I can't wait until the day that Alonso and Emerson both fucking retire but until then we'll be linked with them every 3 months.

Indeed. More massive sporting sacrifices for negligible improvements on the wage side of things. There's some abysmal business being done by this club recently.

I guess my point is, unless Alonso comes on a free loan, there is no way in that bringing him here is cheaper financially than one more season of Perisic. Especially when we would likely have to golden handshake Perisic to get rid of him, based on recent reports.

Plus Alonso is on high wages at Chelsea. Offloading Perisic for Telles or Kostic on loan can be understandable. But doing it for Alonso? It makes zero sense.

Yes, of course Alonso is coming only on loan, if he comes. That is a move for the end of August. But indeed, AFAIK his salary is pretty high too so wouldn't make much sense financially.

About Telles, to be honest I'm not sure if he can be a wingback.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Marotta asks Marina "Iron Lady" Granovskaia to give us Alonso on a loan & pay part of his salary!

The time to get Alonso was 2 years ago. Now he doesn't make sense, his wages are too high - on a similar level as Perisic. And Euro Champion Emerson is too shite to pay 15m for. These deals will not happen. Marina doesn't do discounts and Marotta is a chronic miser. That is why despite targeting so many of their players, we got nada.

Its time to move on from Chelsea players.

When does the transfer window end? We have sold a quality RB, and we've kept spinning our wheels. Find a replacement and sign them.....

This is getting stupid, its almost making it seem redundant being a Inter supporter

You are a supporter of Inter because you want to see transfers or what the fuck?

When it comes to RB signing, we will probably wait till mid-August since by then clubs might be willing to give played on dry loans. Now they don't accept loan offers.

We have just won Serie A, finally assembled a squad who can challenge and find the club finances have mismanaged or PRC refuse to allow money to be moved to invest in the squad which is hindering any chance of defending the title.


Selling one of the major positives in our team with Hakimi and doing nothing to address this need or even try a find a replacement is disconcerting. And now talk of Toro being sold, any supporter would feel some sort of angst. Do you not agree?

We have definitely tried to find a replacement. Problem has been we have no money and other clubs want that.

80m was the pass mark, now with the sale of big rom there is no excuse to find a RB, and if necessary a LB as well.

Selling Hakimi and Lukaku for big sums I can understand if we're completely broke. Buying Dumfries (for any sum) is beyond retarded.

Does anybody who wants him actually seen him play except the few games on the euros?

There is a reason NOBODY is going for him while he's so cheap.

People want Dumfries because the alternatives are Nandez, a guy who has played just 6 months as a rwb, and Hector Bellerin who has been extremely poor ever since he got injured.

Dumfries isn't anyone's dream signing. People want him because the alternatives are even worse. Could we get someone better than Dumfries with 15m? I seriously doubt that.

Meanwhile the season starts in two weeks and evidently the plan is to start Darmian in all 38 matches.

Both Darmian and D'ambrosio are better players than Dumfries. (and that says a lot)
