..Pizzaman?

Raiola

Thankfully Palacio has gone to Brescia in Serie B, ruling out a return here.

Loan + option to buy still valid?

If Inzaghi wants Correa then we should get Correa. After goals against Juventus and Milan it'll be worth it.

Has it actually ever worked for us when we listened to the coach? In most cases the players ended up being flops when we decided to listen to the coaches. From Cuper, Mancini and Mourinho to the recent examples of Mancini's second stint, Spalletti and even Conte to an extent. The examples are countless. The directors should do what they think best regardless what the coach thinks.

Agree but in those instances Inter had no business entertaining those signings, for the most part they were previous flops or had behavioral issues, lacked serie a experience, etc. Correa's only problem is that he lacks consistency, but given the lack of options he's a suitable player for us provided we can keep the price under 30M.

Largely agree but then there are players like palacio and lukaku. It's a fine balance. I think mainly if the manager is demanding a player who is in obvious decline etc we shouldn't go near it ala radja. We need to be smart about it. At least correa is still young but I'm not sure he's inter quality. He is dangerous though.

I think you should have a balance in this. The club needs to guard the long term vision and the coach is there to win because he gets judged about his results. It's important a coach can work with players he believes and trusts in. There should be a healthy debate about it within closed doors. The club should act like a business when it comes to age/salary/fee etc that's why I think the club should have the final word, always. But the club judges the coach on results so sometimes you have to give the coach what he wants. Because it doesn't do any good if the club buys a player the coach doesn't want or vice versa.

Have a strong feeling Correa will be brought in to replace Sanchez. Hopefully that doesn’t exclude a second signing in attack because we are severely short staffed at the moment.

To be honest I just want us to sign whoever at this point so I can stop needlessly checking my phone every 5 minutes.

Correa is 27 so he isn't that young. I don't think he can be much better than he already is. He has, more or less, reached his peak which is 8 goals in a season.

I am not overly excited with either Correa or Thuram. Correa brings unpredictability to our game and he has already worked with Inzaghi but he's inconsistent and too wasteful. On the other hand, Thuram would be a risk as he would be coming from another league and he's a wing forward so i have my doubts if he can be a good fit in our system.

If Correa was available for around 20-25m i would be in favor of signing him. But if Lotito insists on asking 40m for Correa, then i would rather take a gamble with Thuram who's 3 years younger and has potential.

 

[PHM1605]

Thuram is a beast. Just get him and train him for striker or wingback position, like what Juve did for Chiesa.

I was under the impression the whole time that he was available for 25+bonuses?

When has the price gone up?

when Inter got interested.

Honestly not impressed with Thuram. But since you’re living in Germany, please give some insights if you can.

No, I am not. I left there and have been living in Norway for two years lol.

Kramerica has summed it up perfectly. Thuram is basically a Lukaku with technique and lesser shooting on the wing. The only weakness is that he is hot-tempered and sometimes acting childish. Like an untamed horse. But quality-wise he is the best among the ones we were linked with, excluding Vlahovic ofc.

That's the price Inter are willing to pay. Lotito asks for around 40m. It's mentioned in this article.

Unironically, let's go for Keita Balde

Correa is by far the least compelling name we've been linked to.

I wouldn’t mind Correa as the 3rd option. He would instantly become the best dribbler in the team and could do a good job linking midfield to attack, which is more important in Inzaghi tactics.

The problem is that I doubt he would be the 3rd option. He doesn’t exactly offer that many goals for a forward and we’re losing a lot of goals with Lukaku.

In this case, I think inter’s valuation of the player is bang on. He’s worth about 26mil tops and we shouldn’t go a penny higher.
