i just hope we can find some young player to refresh our attacking line

not another taremi or arnautovic, btw both players got no place in any top team in europe

the point is, we wont beat atlm with defence, we need to score some goals at home or we are out

we wont win bundes champion like leverkusen with pressing game, we wont outrun them, we need to score 2 or 3 at home

forwards are very important for inzaghi 3-5-2, we are an attacking team

since we dont have money to buy stars we need to find them at a young age and give them time and place

and that place is taken by dinos like taremi and arna, another wasted year

we got all experienced we need with lautaro and thuram

It’s not like Oaktree allows Inter to follow any other path. They fundamentally vetoed any player near 30 ever since they took charge, this is the reason why none has come, Inzaghi seemed to put forward wishes but all seem to been refused on that basis.

Oaktree only want players that has growth potential this much is getting clearer by the day.

I am really worried we turn back into Thohir era; I love developing youngster, but we really need the balance, right now it is still good, cause we have a lot of veterans on the team.

The more I reflect on it, I think age really isn't something that indicates how well the player will do for us, cause we signed old farts that are useless, and we also signed youngster that went nowhere, also prime age players that wasted chunks of money; but at the same time we did well on all the 3 groups at the same time.

Bad ones:
  1. Palombo, Vidic, Godin, Folan, Cuadrado, Kolarov
  2. M'Vila, Ljajic, Bellanova, Botta, Taidar
  3. Shaqiri, Hernanes, Correa, Kondogbia, Nainggolan

Good ones:
  1. Acerbi, Darmian, Mihki, Sommer, Miranda, Young
  2. Bastoni, Bisseck, Barella, Lautaro, Icardi, Skriniar, Brozovic, Kov
  3. Pavard, [SDV, Thuram, Hakan] (prime age, just free), Lukaku (worked well till he went full retard or even before we sold to Chelsea)
Apparently stable system with a good locker room helps, our management and coaching team deserve a lot of credit.

Also long as we are not going full blast on either direction on age for the group, we should be fine.

The main reason there are zero rumors about a new forward is the fact we have 6 forwards in our payroll. SIX.

We can't keep adding salaries. We need at least two departures before even thinking of signing another forward.

The age balance is nowhere near threatened the way you imagine it, not even remotely. In fact we need to rejuvenate more than we need to do the opposite, we have two players under 25 years of age at the end of the year and have 10 over the age of 30. There no objective reason to fear going after young players or development prospects because currently we have two at most.

I don’t particularly think the past is particularly good thing to measurement things up against, especially pre Marotta era where we acted on the market like bunch of headless chickens. I don’t exactly imagine we go after either because it sounds good or because our rival wanted them like in the Thohir era. There now a purpose with our transfers now. The main reason we still see some fail is simply also because of financial restraints that forces us to gamble on players we unlikely would have in better situations.

Oaktree has obviously see the age of our squad and it likely plays a crucial part of why they have the stance they have. Don’t mean they for all eternity will be against getting players of age but they are against it now due to the circumstances and age of the current team.

i like Depay. At least he is cheaper and more experienced rather than r***st Gudmundsson.
He also defeated us in the last season Champions League, right?

You don’t get out because one player failed, this isn’t an individual sport it’s a team sport. Meaning you are eliminated because the team as a whole didn’t perform
Two things can be true at the same time. I agree with the above statement but I also think, we failed in europe solely because we lack depth and failed to freshen the squad when needed.

And when the time came to bring players on, the quality was surely lacking. Klassen for fuck sake......is one fucking sample that should never be playing for Inter.

Yea that is why I said right now it is still good for Oaktree to aim for young players, as long as they don't over do it.

Yea I also put players in more recent years for comparison like: Godin, Cuadrado, Kolarov, Bellanova, Correa, Nainggolan
and there are a lot of relatively young players, we don't know how they will work out for us yet, like Asllani, Frattesi, Carboni etc.

But he's not Italian or Argentine.

While i believe having an Italian core is essential and a argentine contingent for its historical value, i fully believe in the diversity of the team. Asians and Africans welcome along with players from the Americas. Thats not even including other Europeans, powerhouse or not. Lets not forget Oceania.

If even just to invest in a young prospect for primavera, diversity is key. So many potential stars from around the globe.

Having an Italian core or any core is bad.

Half our team leaving for international duty for Italy or another country isnt great for us. tho being a big club we have to know that most of if not al our players will be called for international duty

I disagree, an Italian core should be demanded by the league.

As far as an Argie core, i would love it not only for nostalgia sake, Argentina is a football powerhouse and creates countless talents. But with new owners i realize its unlikely, though at least i have our captain for now.

It was s a demonstration of the differences between brozovic and hakan. Hakan was garbage vs atletico and can in now way control a game like brozovic. He might be flashier and more offensive but that's it.

Dafuq man?
We are Inter. It's disappointing not to have over 20 players leave for their NTs because that means they're either shit or too old...
