2021/2022 Forwards Rumours Thread

[Puma]

According to Biasin, Inter directors like Insigne a lot but at the moment they're looking for a different type of forward. As for Sanchez, he isn't on the market.

Sanchez is not on the market because he is always on the injury list. Given their huge wages, Sanchez and Vidal are a complete waste of space.

Why not look towards Isak?

Makes far too much sense for us.

don’t know why tf that quoted so weird.

If we have a 90m offer for Lautaro, I will have no problem with Inter accepting that and using the money to buy Vlahovic (60m) to and Insigne (for Vecino +15m). And hopefully that leaves some of the Lukaku money for a big purchase at LWB/Midfield.

Vlahovic + Dzeko and Insigne + Sanchez is decent striker depth for this season.

Can we all agree that Vlahovic is never coming, seeing these lineups hurts a bit. “Decent striker depth” but we’d be lucky to have it that good by the time the window closes.

There's a myth on FIF Sanchez is always injured but it's far from reality. Apart from the first round in 2019/20 when he had a serious injury and lost many games, he has been mostly fit. Last season he played in 30 Serie A games.

And let's not compare him with Vidal who only showed up against Juventus. Sanchez was a game changer in many games and he had 7 goals and 7 assists.

Because he probably costs at least as much as Vlahovic.

Really, 30? Man I really thought it was around the 20 games because he was in my head a lot of times injured. Funny that you have something in your mind which is completey false.

I fail to understand people's love for Vlahovic and Isak. Neither of them is that special, Vlahovic only performed in half a season.

There's no way you can rate them higher than Lautaro when we signed him. And Lautaro was a leader at Racing for years. How much did he cost? Only 25m.

How the fuck can anyone think spending anything over 40m for Isak or Vlahovic a good idea? Especially in the current climate? Even 40m is vastly overpriced.

Sociedad just sold 10% of their annual revenue in the next 30 years or so to CVC, they are rich now, but I can see them begging for buyers in 2 years. Fiorentina too, they keeps losing players for much lower than they initially asked, to juventus no less. And both Vlahovic and Isak can have an off year, even Mbappe had off years before, what will happen to their value? When will they learn?

 

[Materazzi_23]

How many people knew Lautaro before he came to Inter? It's not like most of us had seen him play a lot of games. Vlahovic and Isak are more visible in that matter.

Everyone can see that Vlahovic and Isak are talents, players with something special. Yes it's a risk, but in the end every transfer is a risk. You have to think about their potential and what they show in matches. I'm sure when we buy players are scouts will watch maybe even trainings, talk with people around the player etc and not based their opinion just on what they see during matches. That's why scouting is a different craft.

We also should consider that this climate makes clubs overpay for players. The times that the best players in the world would transfer for 30/40M are over. For that price you have mostly regular players now. If you pay more you pay for the expected potential and that's always a risk.


On another note: Sky is reporting that Atletico made a bid for Vlahovic for 50M + bonus which would reach up to 60M. Surely this can't be true as Inter reportedly made a bid of 50M? Damn Comisso.

How come nobody is going for Simy?

Already joined Salernitana for €6m including bonuses and add-ons.

No sane person wants to replace Lautaro with Vlahovic. Lautaro has a lot better pedigree. I'd say only thing Vlahovic has over Lautaro is the potential. But Vlahovic showed he can score goals in Italy, a lot. So the price is super high given the contract situation. But we are not replacing Lautaro with him. Talk was replacing Lukaku with him as we now sold Lukaku.

Lautaro was closely followed by AM and Barca before we finally beat them with the help from Milito. He was THE next superstar at that time. 100% more hyped than Vlahovic and Isak ever have been in their career.

Lautaro came only 3 years ago, or just 1 year before the covid outbreak. If you think the prices now should be 3 times they were 3 years ago, you're being financially irresponsible and digging a hole for yourself. As if we arent already in a hole now.

I'm talking about the absurd prices slapped on these youngsters, if Lautaro was priced at 25m, these players must not cost more than 40m.

If we somehow decide to splash 60m on them, I will certainly shamelessly hop on the hype train with everyone here and on reddit. But if we doesn't, you gotta see the reasons.

 

[Harpsabu]

Vlahovic scored his second goal on match day 12. He had an incredible second half of the season. To me he's too risky at his current price. Similar to piatek breakout and don't say he looks better than piatek because everyone was jizzing over him during his breakout too

Maybe I am the insane person here. But if I have to choose between them (assumingly neither of them would be an Inter player), I would choose Vlahovic every day of the week and twice Sunday. Vlahovi has more potential. At his age he is way better than Lautoro was IMHO.

 

[Linege]

we are a selling club, we will sell some top player in next mercato

if totenhams and evertons will be buying players from genoas and fiorentinas, without us in the middle, we wont have any money


we need players like vlahovic

 

[sdvroot]

Strange that there are no rumors about Depay

 

[nurko]

No money = no rumours

Thank you. I have said this before too. People forget the critical role Sanchez played for our Scudetto win last season. Even if it was largely as a super-sub, he had great impact and won us critical points in the race. Just to put this in context, here is a copmparison between Sanchez and Dzeko:

- Sanchez is 32, Dzeko is 35
- Sanchez is a 2nd striker who helps creative buildup, Dzeko is a striker whose focus is on goals
- Sanchez had 7 goals & 7 assists last season in 1100 minutes. Dzeko had 7 goals and 4 assists in 1800 odd minutes
- Sanchez also had 8 other goal contributions where he didn't get an assist. Didn't count Dzeko's, but I would assume they were much lower.

IMO Sanchez deal was a very good one, and despite the injuries IMO its been worth his wages. He was possibly the only out outside of our starting XI who was key in us winning the Scudetto. If he stays relatively injury free, he brings a lot of quality and impact for us from the bench, and that could again be very useful.

Vidal hasn't been worth his wages yet, but I wouldn't put him in the Ninja category yet. Not just coz Vidal cost us nothing while Ninja was very expensive, but mainly coz of the attitude difference. Vidal's first season has been marred with injuries, but he always gives his 100% on the pitch and improves our intensity when he plays. Ninja used to be like that, but not since he joined Inter - he has been treating Inter like a nice retirement home. That is the main difference. I don't mind Vidal in our squad, coz if by chance he stays relatively injury free, he will give us 5-10 goals a season and some good intensity ie I haven't given up hope on him yet. I think he might have 1 decent season left in him, injuries permitting.

 

[ElDuccio]

I'm really done with this club, we are without strikers and there a still no offers, everyday the same shit.
