Antony is a winger
I don't think Sanchez was ever a real striker either, but somehow he could play there as well.

looks like you didn’t learn much from our post-treble meltdown as a team. Getting over attached to certain players is a recipe for disaster
i was thinking about that, i probably wouldnt break the team but maybe sell some good players in their last opportunity to bring a good transfer fee

And you learned nothing from how Ferguson revived his man Utd squads multiple. Always kept certain core players.

The issue with post triplet was they didn't revive the squad at all. Moratti wanted to keep everyone not just the core.
But it was Ferguson who sold Beckham, Van Nistelroy and Cristiano.

It will be tough to replace Barella, for example. But you have more chances of finding a good replacement for him when you have 80M sitting in your bank account rather waiting till he leaves for free or starts declining. Once again I’m not advocating to sell Barella or Bastoni but it’s naive to say that we should hold on to them forever

Those were stars not core players. The core players were Neville,Scholes and gigs. There is a difference.

Beckham was a core player but there was friction with Ferguson.
Just like Roy Keane.

Beckham and Keane were core players. Jaap Stam was a core player. Paul Ince was a core player, so too were Andrei Kanchelskis and Mark Hughes. That last trio left in the same summer.

Fergie couldn't stand it that a player was talked about more than him. Simple as that

Barella is 28 years old, Lautaro is 27, Bastoni is 26 and Dima is 27. They aren't even at their prime. I don't remember Inter having such a strong core since I'm watching football.

They're all quality as well.
Thank you! Spot on! We gave mid 30 players all ballooned contracts isnwhat killed us in 2010.

It all depends how we define core” of our team but for Mkhi, Acerbi, Sommer and potentially even Hakan this could be their last chance to win the CL

We don't seem to be interested in Castro anymore. He's no longer a starter for Bologna. Unless he's like 15-20m, I don't think we go after him.

More like unless he Allsani swap

Castro as 4th striker and a better 3rd would be sweet. Tho 4th striker can be one of our guys on loan

4th striker for 30m? How about no
