It's better to get Perisic back instead of Alba.

he can easily be a LWB, but I wouldn't want this cunt here

I have seen Scalvini a couple of times and he made a decent impression on me. But i have not seen enough of him to make a valuable opinion on him.

Can someone who have watched him a lot tell me if he’s ready to start for Inter? What are his best skills?

Just watching highlights of Fabiano Parisi, I am good with signing him and not redeeming Bellanova, even one is left and one is right.
Looks very good in highlights., but seems like a very different player than Gosens.

Agreed. If Gosens wants to stay, we should keep him. I think he's a better option against stronger teams. Even though Inzaghi prefers Dimarco, Gosens can always play the last 30 minutes, especially as Dimarco doesn't really have the stamina to be a 90 minute player as a wingback - he's no Perisic/Dumfries, just doesn't have the physicality for it.

Yeah, Gosens brings some things that we are lacking in our team, like big time. I'm not saying that he's a better solution than Dimarco as a starter but he could definitely play ahead of Dimarco in particular situations where we need stability, fighting spirit and strength. If only he could improve on his decision making offensively then he could be a strong cadidate for a starting spot.

Dunno do we really want to swap Gosens for another small LWB? IMO one of Gosen's strengths in this squad is his different characteristics to Dimarco.
With that said I still find Parisi a different type player than DiMarco, besides the height; also the kind that can compliment with Dumfries on the right.

Only reason to let Gosens go is if he wants to go or we need the money. Otherwise going from Gosens to Parisi is a significant downgrade.
I don't think that Empoli will release Parisi for less than 15 mln, and how we will sell Gosens for more than 20. If we want to save some money it's better to get Perisic back for free instead

I like Cancelo, he can play Dimarco and Dumfries position.

But we are poor so we will end up with Lazzari

3 years sounds way too long, but in all honesty, replacing D'Ambrosio with Nacho would be a huge upgrade. Problem would most likely be the salary, but as a player who can cover a number of positions, Nacho is actually a good option.

We could offer him 3m net and it would equal around the same as D'Ambrosio 2m net, thanks to the Growth Decree tax cut. The 3 year term sounds still a bit too long but I won't comment these too much given how we've done with older players recently.

I would give a massive benefit of doubts to our mercato team following our success with Darmian, Acerbi, Dzeko, and Mkhi. They are really gifted in refurbishing old farts into useful squad members. I do not really mind we sign Nacho on 3 years deal as long as he is under modest salary and we also buy young defenders. We cannot keep buying old stopgaps forever, we also must search defenders who has long future with us or has resale value.
