What I said wasn’t intended to insult you in anyway. If you pay attention I didn’t talk shit about you I was just stating how it is generally here. My apologies if you thought it was directed at you.

I just grow very frustrated that the situation at the club is clearly shit and the fact you can barely find an ounce of positivity here makes it even worse.

Personally, I dont give a fuck who we start the season with as our strikers. We’re the defending champions we still have a lot of quality players the loss of two players can never make me believe we haven’t got a chance in retaining the title no matter how important they were. If Lille can win ligue 1 and Leicester city can win the premier league then theres not a single reason for me not to believe this side can’t defend the scudetto.

The thing that really saddens me with the situation of the club isn’t that we lost Lukaku and Hakimi. We’ve lost better players in the past its not the first time it happens nor is it the last. I’m really disappointed in the manner we lost them. It sends a bad message to the players who are still im the club. Whats even worse is the fact that the current owners see us as a business and don’t match the same
ambitions i have for the club. Thats whats sad.
I’d be lying if I say I dont want us to be competing for the champions league in the next few years and I really believed we were close. Now we’re definitely a couple steps back.

Just the general confusion about the clubs ownership is depressing enough. Who knows that the ones that come next aren’t worse.
Thanks for your message. I might have replied a bit strongly.
I agree that there is a lot of negativity on this forum, but it's hard to stay positive during the past few weeks. The transfers itself I can understand if we need money, but if we need money, we shouldn't blow the money on sub-par players. I would rather have them sell Lukaku and Hakimi and replace them with loaned players. Save and invest the money in our financial situation to secure a better future. We still have a very strong core in defence and midfield, we will get a top 4 spot easily.

The fact that I'm reacting so negatively on Dumfries is because I was already saying during the euros that his 2-3 great performances will trick a team into buying. Of course we are the team being tricked... That irritates me a lot :) That being said, Dumfries is not completely useless, he's just not really talented. His determination, stamina, pace and strenth are worth something, but people will be smashing their head through the wall on many occassions as well.

I hope he doesn't come, I rather play Darmian in combination with a loaned player (I would even try for Florenzi).
But if he comes, I'll support him like I have always supported any Inter player. If he comes, he's one of us and I hope he'll do the best he can.

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.
Florenzi loan plus option to buy around 7m. He's close to Milan 🤦🏾‍♂️

Honestly I'm a lot more optimistic about this compared to the rest of you. Not only is he a lot better than the literal retards we've been linked with for a month now, but I think he'll do fine. I think a lot of our wide attacking plays will come from Dimarco and Perisic, so all Dumfries has to do is play a solid supporting role.

I only saw him at euros so hard to say much about the player. But came with low price and decent salary, is at good age to take next step. Surely needs some time to get to know new league and team. But again I cant see us getting any better player with this fee?

Hope he does well in Simone tactics and he have good player to compite for starting spot and Darmian seems ready to defend scudetto!

Lets make it clear you’ve never watched a game of Eredevise in your life. If you claim othwrwise youre talking shit. If anyone saw Dumfries it was at the euros where he was clearly leaps and bounds above Darmian and D’Ambrosio.

I know it’s very in fashion to be pessimistic negative fucks in this forum so you can very much do so. It seems to generate likes and makes people fit in. This forum is so toxic, I already feel like shit with everything going on with the club but checking for “news” never actually lands me on news. I land on comments like this.

I just want you all to go the Lukaku rumor thread and you’ll see that 95% of this forum opposed the transfer and wanted Zapata for half the price. Ironic lmao. Now look at you.
Great post dude and good to see someone still use their sense and this post is for 80% of the FIF writers! Seems like people in general are scared and angry and they have hard time to see anyother point of view but their own and thats why they miss the whole picture and make miss judgments?

But this is a forums and every one has their right to write anything they want. But yes most of the posts in this forum is filled with hate. It seems like most writers are afraid to take any positive stand of things or eaven neutral point of view and admid that they dont know everything and that they dont have all the facts? It just kills the intelligent discussion. It one of another over hype or pure hate!

But yes I want to see my own eyes how every player play at Inter and then I make my judgements.

ps. I have nothing against Reco1986

What to say about new RB Dumfries.... Psv was very happy to sell him at the price Inter was willing to pay and Ajax fans are sorry to see him go. That does not per se make him a bad player though. He is very good when his defensive tasks are limited and he is able to run forward and put pressure on the opponent's defense. This does imply that he is usable only at a team who plays with 5 player defense but that should not be a problem in Italy like it was in Holland where teams play with 4 man defense. Dumfries has a positive attitude, no history of serious injuries and will likely score 4 or 5 goals in a season. He is not fast or skilled but quite strong and his scoring potential made FDB change the Oranje system to 532 so he has his fans for sure. It may take him some time to improve his defense and mold his style to fit Serie A but he definitely has the potential to develop (quickly) into a useful player.

What happened to Maksimovic? I though he was a lock this summer, free signing, low wages, etc

We preferred to extend Kolarov :lol:

we never learn. Kolarov is 36 this year. What's the plan for next season? Broke or not we have to look to the future.

Don't have one.
I hope this thread lights up with potential rumors till the end of mercato. I can live with rano as de vrij back up, but dambro and kolarov as back-ups is just pathetic. We need real defenders. The way we are paying for correa hopefully leaves us some money to spend on people who aren't actually glorified defenders aka semi retired fullbacks.

Sadly i can't see it happening but because of the lack of options. Boateng is still a free agent. Barcelona are desperately trying to offload Umtiti. There could also be some good market opportunities close to deadline day. The problem is all our backup cbs got extensions because we can't afford to sign anyone better.

Both of those players' salaries are simply too big. Specially Umtiti has WAY too big salary and he's always injured.

I get the whole their salaries are big thing but can’t we just offer Boateng whatever we’re willing to pay? Take it or leave it

I doubt Boateng wants to come to sit on the bench for the most of the season.
