2024/2025 Forwards Rumours Thread

[Materazzi_23]

Then we shouldn’t sign anyone. Save the money play with the current squad and use it next summer when we saved even more money.

I don’t think a player like this elevates us. So why get a player we may try to sell in a year?

Because we don't want to end up with a forward line of Tahremi and Arnautovic for multiple games I guess. Or even worse with Satriano taking the place of 1 of them.

Due to the financial situation we are in, we always have to stick plasters on and we cannot solve the problem definitively at the moment

Who is this better striker that Inter could sign for 40m, if they theoretically had this money?

J. David, Gyokeres, Sesko, Boniface, Gimenez Santi, Guirassy etc

 

[vex]

Gudmundson is a must, nothing mediocre about that dude, watched him numerous times last season and every time he impressed. People should just watch a game genoa played against juve away last season to see what type of player he is.

Incredibly good with a ball in his feet and scores goals, you can't ask for more. Plus, as i v said before he can legit be used as a midfielder, he is that good technique wise.

All these players will not go for 40M. Sesko even signed a new contract like yesterday.

J. David, Gyokeres, Sesko, Boniface, Gimenez Santi, Guirassy etc

After the season he had last season then Gyorkes would cost significantly more. Sesko has committed to Leipzig and signed a new contract. Getting Boniface out of Leverkusen would cost a fortune and that team seems to want to stay together for at least one more season. Guirassy has a release clause but no major move by anyone for him so far suggests there might be stratospheric agent fees.

There's good reason why Italian clubs shop in Italy.

He certainly caught my eye more last season than Zirkzee. He was full of running, strong, drifted all over the front line and could also drop deep to link the play well - in the circumstances he looks the best bet available for that sort of fee.

What are you talking about? Not a single successful striker is bought from within Serie A recently because that market is terribly overprice. Lets check (market, not nationality)

Inter: Lautaro (Argentina), Thuram (Germany). Previously Lukaku and Dzeko were recycled from PL.

Milan: Leao (French).

Napoli: Osimhen (French).

Atalanta: Scammacca (England), Hojlund (farmers league)

Juve: Vlahovic -> prove the point.

When you buy strikers from Serie A you are more likely being robbed. Only because they "know the league". Inter fans dont watch outside Italy doesnt mean there isnt anyone good left.

 

[CraigM]

It has been better in recent years because of the growth decree that allowed the tax breaks to afford the wages. But that's gone now and it will mean it's harder to sign from the other major Leagues.

 

[magnesium]

I would prefer extend Sanchez and sell Arna. The money we got from kids spend on younger CB. Acerbi worrying me next season .

If Gudmundsson can come with trade some kids, it's ok.

 

[varmin]

This was a long past debate and I wouldn't relapse. Check last summer ~10m deals all over Europe and you'll see many of them have been out of our price range now.

Nobody expects a 100% rate. There were deals that were terrible even from the look. I don't need to be Einstein to see spending 10m on a 34yo Bologna peak and long history record was bad. Sanchez made some sense, even Cuadrado or that random Dutch made some sense. Coz they were free, two were high level for a while and 'll leave after a year. No more salary wasted.

Not fucking Arnautovic. We are trying to offload him after a year, but not successful, coz he's sealing the slot, showing that this was a flop. No need for further excuse.

That is not exactly true. Now, you say that it was clear that Arnautivic will be bad transfer, but same have been said about Sommer, Darmian, Mkhitaryan, Acerbi by many FIF users before the transfers happened. The common opinion was, that any money spent on them (regardless salary only or a small transfer fee) are total waste.
Marotta and Ausilio pulled off many low cost successful deals, and it's normal to have some miss here and there.

Actually, same could be applied for Zielinski and Taremi. If someone of them fails, it's easy to say that it was obvious that he was on a decline, and that no other club tried to outbid Inter for his signature.

The bold part is exactly the main point of my post. I do mention Sanchez Cuadrado and Klaasen then the difference is the transfer fee, but you cross it out to fit your narrative. In what universe is 10m "small"?

There's a remote distance between horrible and bad. If you cant see the difference between Zielinski and Arnautovic type-of-deals..lol. Dont invent things please. I dont see that, quote his thread and show me where most fans calling him "disaster"?

10 mln is small in the football universe right now, if you didn't notice. Some random players with one decent season, are already 25+mln. Arnautivic fits to the category of low cost old players, doesn't matter how you want to paint it. Cuntrado's gross salary is around 10mln, Arnautivic contract+ gross is around 16mln. The difference is not so big. Klaasen was even worse transfer that Arnautivic as he was totally useless at first place.

I didn't say that. I just said, that it will be quite easy to find an excuse, and to say that it was obvious that they will be a bad deal if they fail. Just like you did with Arnautivic.
Same could be said about Bisseck, Sommer, Dramian etc. But, they are playing ok, so you are quiet.

Bro if you wanna make debate dont spam fake numbers. At least get what you know right first.

Marotta has hit on a lot of transfers that I was dead set against, but I dont get this Gudmunsson thing. 30 million for us is A LOT. He just had his breakout season at 26, would be a rotation player at best, would likely cost us our starting RWB(Or at very least a heavily used one), and has an open sexual assault case. Am I missing something here? I will admit I do not watch Genoa but surely this guy is not good enough to offset all these issues? Obviously having four legit options in attack is nice but it is by no means a necessity. Especially when Darmian would be our only RWB left and he cant attack and is already what, 34/35? I feel like we should be prioritizing differently.

Caudrado earns 4,6 gross, not 10.

Klaasen hasnt done much, but he 'only' earn 1,9 gross and he was never meant to be anything except a a last choice fringe player.

I doubt they had big signing on fee's either.

Paying actually transfer fee's for bums like Arnautovic on the other hand, is just terrible business.

I'd like to know why this isn't getting more attention in all of this. The guy might be completely innocent, I'm not passing judgment on that, but talking €30M or so (whether in cash or in makeweight player trading) on someone with clouds over their head isn't something I've much interest in seeing even before getting into that this guy doesn't have a particularly impressive profile.

Taking everything into account, this guy doesn't move the needle for me a all. Not a fan of this.

 

[drekaforzainter]

how about actually bring in dybala, marotta still has good relationship with him and he is currently unsure about his future in roma

 

[varmin]

Really?! I thought that he earns around 5mln net. I could be wrong though. I didn't check it.

Paying money for everybody is terrible business if it doesn't pay off. Is it better to spend 40mln on JM and release him for free?
The point is that, it's easy for you to make conclusions like that now. Just staying behind the keyboard and making some wise statements. It looks easy.
But in reality is not. Shall i recall the opinion of the most people here (including you most probably) about the transfers of Darmian, Sommer, Acerbi, Bisseck?
Negativism all over. They were described as failures, even before they join. So, yeah , it's easy to say that they are trash, because they were old and mediocre (and one of them was 7mln wasted money for Mr.Nobody, playing in some random club at age of 24).
But, surprise! Those deals were great for the club and added good quality for low cost.
I'm happy that Marotta and Ausilio do not listen "Einsteins" like you, which can easily foresee that if one player is old, therefore he is shit .

What's your point in those meaningless posts? It is as simple as this:
- Bisseck is a good deal -> it gets a praise.
- Arnautovic is a terrible deal -> it gets a bash.
Different deals, different outcomes. Each player gets his respective thread.

But you are going left and right to defend for the management, that they are the best at their jobs and fans have no jobs in commenting on their business (?!?)
Then you literally inject nonsense into others posts, claiming people saying what they never say. Such as the bolds.
Bro, according to such, this is not a forum. But an Inter cheerleading fangirls club or something.
