Honestly i don't know if i take Chiesa, even on a free. For me he's an even bigger gamble than Dybala. Dybala is injury prone but when he's fit he shows his quality. This isn't the case with Chiesa. Even when he's fit he's only a shadow of the player he was pre injury. Some glimpses here and there but he's just not the same player anymore. I know people mostly blame Allegri for it but i wasn't impressed with his performances in national team either.

Also i have my doubts if current Chiesa is a good fit for our system. He doesn't have the legs to play as a wingback anymore and i don't think role of secondary striker suits him. He's better on the wing.

He hasn’t been convicted yet…

And it’s not like we haven’t had our fair share of questionable players… apparently Italian clubs just don’t look much into that as other teams are starting too… but really perhaps they should

Rubentus join Inter In The Chase For Albert Gudmundsson

According to Di Marzio, Inter’s bitter Derby d’Italia rivals Juventus are also keen to sign Gudmundsson.

The Sky transfer expert reports that the two clubs are in fact considering a similarly-structured deal.

Di Marzio reports that both Inter and Juventus want to sign Gudmundsson on an initial paid loan deal.

They probably just interfere for the sake of it, as reported by other clubs.

This would be for a loan fee of around €10 million.

Then, there would also be a purchase option in the deal. That would be worth around €15 million, reports Di Marzio.

Ahhhh, IM21 already shared it.

OK, I guess it's good that we have reached out to the player long before summer and we have his preference. Just like we did with Bremer.

Chiesa has no spot in our formation. Doesn't want to play as a striker.
I would stay well clear even if we were playing a front 3. He isn't close to the player he was.

 

[CraigM]

It's a shame with Chiesa because you can see there's still a very good player there, just one who is physically diminished. Must be frustrating when your body can no longer do what your head is telling it to.

8mln loan + 15mln obligation is 23 in total. I recall that Genoa wanted 30-35 from Inter. Fucking twats

Why wouldn't they ask more first? If the buyer won't budge and the player wants to move, the smaller club usually let's it go and lowers the demand if they aren't in a position to stay tough.

When it comes to Gudmundsson, I think it's purely dependent on do we sell Carboni or not. Because if we get Guds, we can't let Arna go. Since if shit hits the fan with the court case, we would have 3 forwards for the first part of the season (court case is after transfer window closes).

Also if we keep Carboni, I think we keep Arna too. He gives guarantees in terms of experience but Carboni gives that spark from the bench Inzaghi might want at specific situations and he doesn't seem to consider Carboni second striker to our system, based on his comments in pre-season presser.

They can ask whatever they want, but for me it seems that Jube always got some good terms when they deal with those smaller clubs. I still remember how the sold Sturato to Genoa for almost 20mln, when there was almost no interest in him form other clubs. Or, how they got Rovella, the best Genoa talent that time, inserting two totally useless youngsters in the deal, and paid almost nothing.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Didn't Di Marzio report that loan + obligation is the deal both Inter and Juve are planning to do. No one's going to pay 30-35m straight cash for Gudmundsson.

haha Juve saving our transfer window.... by wasting 40m we were going to for us

 

[IM21]

Cds saying we would offer Genoa 10M for a loan of Gudmundsson with a buy obligation.

I find that hard to believe, especially if we dont sell Carboni before.

I don't think that even selling Carboni will be enough. Arnautovic earns 3.5m net. You can't have a 5th forward earning that much. He needs to go for another forward to arrive. And of course Correa with his 3.5m net salary also needs to go.

 

[Damageplan]

Gudmundsson for me is a budget Dybala. They are very similar in their style of play. He would probably become our best dribbler and can play behind Lautaro and Thuram when needed. Legal issues aside I think he would fit us like a glove. 8-10 mil loan + buyout of 15 is not that expensive really.

Couldnt agree more.

Gudmunsson is the most important purchase we can do this mercato. Imo he's better than any of our FWs except Toro and we really need a player with his characteristis.

I know our economical situation and FFP must be considered, but losing him would be way worse than Bremer or any other player we lost in previous mercatos just because we waited for the "green light". We must do anything we can to sign him and if we do, our potential would be higher than last season.

We are still missing something in the attack. Right now we have 3 center forwards and one support striker. Then there is Carboni who I think could be developed into a second striker but it doesn’t seem like Inzaghi agrees.

So we really don’t have a Thuram replacement in our squad. That to me is a bit concerning because I feel like he is the type that could have a sophomore slump. Taremi and Arna aren’t inept at combination play by any means but I don’t really love the idea of either partnered with Lautaro for long stretches.

That would probably mean a return to the prior version of Lautaro that had to drop deeper and do the dirty work.

I do think signing someone in the mold of a Gudmunsson makes sense from that perspective.

 

[IM21]

we ain't getting anyone in attack, cause our management is too scared to tell Arnautovic to fuck off.

 

[Corrode]

I'm okay with Lautaro-Thuram-Taremi-Arnautovic-Correa-Carboni/Pio Esposito/Satriano in attack this season. Those combination should be enough this season. Reinforcements can wait in January if it really need.
