I doubt Buchanan will return that early, besides it may take more weeks or even months to regain his fitness back.
Transfermarkt expected return date would be on Nov 30, 2024.

Besides perhaps we might even not gonna register him for serie A for this half season, we may reevaluate when registration reopen in winter transfer window.
Obviously he won't registered for UCL list, also since we are adding non homegrown players to replace him, there's slim chance he will be registered in list January either (hopefully we already qualified). So, we will probably gonna loan him out.

Regarding Zielinski, it's an opportunity that we shouldn't miss. We are trying to increase the overall teams quality here.
Yeah I don't see us registering Buchanan for this first part of the season, to any list.

I'm not sure I get the issue with Hermoso and Cabal here at all. The role seems to be exclusively vice-Bastoni and so it makes sense to go for a player who would not necessarily expect to be a starter, in the way Bisseck does not expect to start ahead of Pavard. Hermoso would expect to start, is more expensive, isn't going to get much better and will have no resale value.

The only reason I could so see in Hermoso's favour here would be if he could also play CCB and Cabal could not, but I haven't seen any indication either would be a good fit there.

I have a hard time believing a manager as experienced as Marotta accepted the role of president without discussing future strategy with Oaktree.
Exactly. I'd rather believe Marotta suggested Oaktree to play the "Good cop/Bad cop" strategy 😉 he wants Hermoso but Oaktree didn't accept his (& his agents) requests. Hermoso’s move now.

That's how he managed to get Hermoso to drop his requested from 5M to just 3.5M, proving he really wants Inter. He will probably keep him waiting until the younger player is signed.

Waiting game will work with Denzel as well, he will sign on Inter terms.

Younger player (say Cabal) - leak into press they the budget is only 10M (which might be true if Carboni is not sold). This way whoever is selling, knows Inter "can't" pay more.

Hermoso is a steal if 3.5 if that is all he is asking for. Stupid Oaktree ... prove me wrong that C.Juan is really worth it.

I thought we were all in agreement that we don't have enough wide players? Especially our right side is weaksauce in attack for a full season of competitive football.
Who’s we? The forum or the management and Inzaghi?

The forum thinks we need reinforcements for sure. Inzaghi/Marotta don’t seem to be of that opinion based on transfer rumors.

LWB: Dimarco/Augusto

RWB: Dumfries/Darmian

These are our wingbacks going into this season unless Dumfries is sold. When Buchanan comes back we’ll see what happens. Ideally we start to phase Darmian out, but you know how Inzaghi is.

The idea of Dumfries repeating his injury issues of last season and poor Matteo Darmian being ordered to stumble up and down the right wing for months on end doesn't appeal. Surely developing Bisseck for that role could work, though I would like to also see him tried in the CCB role.

I don’t know a single thing about this Cabal dude, don’t remember I have seen him play once. So I can’t really be disappointed in him going to Jube.

That being said, I’m just afraid for the back-up plan. Our plan B almost never turn out great, as far as I remember. R. Rodriguez incoming??

I am excited about him going to Juve as a Colombian under Motta. I think for us he is a huge waste of money at 10m for a player who will never ever bench DiMarco or Bastoni. Think under Motta he can make him a stud and actually uses young players. For us again massive waste of money haha

FU man if you start celebrating a Cabal goal at Meazza :D

Thing is, Giuntoli has been tossed around by Bologna with Calafiori and Atalanta with Koop. No budging. Full price! So the guy''s confidence was so low because smaller italian clubs destroyed him in negotiations and now he can feel a bit of a man when he outbids us for 2M€.

They took all their anger on moneyless Internazionale with a crooked eye presidente.

Very low.

If there are any inter management reading these forums, my cousin is an excellent footballer. Please feign interest in signing him so we can get a payday from Juve or Milan 🙏

Di Marzio said last night Oaktree instructions are very specific: young player with potential. That's the profile they're searching.
