Can't believe he spent four seasons with us. Doesn't feel that long. Well, I'm glad he's gone. 2019 got him eight years too late.

I would rather we have kept Sanchez instead of Arnutovic.

Sanchez was a great deal more productive than the Austrian. I feel that we elected to keep the wrong player,

Contracts determine who stays and who leaves.

I would still argue though that Arnautovic is more useful for Inzaghi than Sanchez. Arnautovic can provide more things for the coach he wants on a regular basis. Issue with Arnautovic could be his mental thoughness but if he can provide a breather for the starters here and there, that should be enough.

rather neither.... promote a youth player hope they score the same as either of those 2 dead wood players making 1/20th the salary and then sell them.

When was the last time we had a youth player score 11 goals in a season for us? Balotelli? Let alone debut season

Alexis scored 4x in 31 games last season... 6 goals 2 years before that in 33 games for us... 7 in 35 the year before that for us ......

for his wages... that just not enough. Honestly one of my favorite players ever before he came here. Think you are remembering him before Man U turned him to shit. He wasnt the worst player in the world but didnt warrant his $$$$$

Arna 7 for us last year in 31 games a little better but not for the wages these dudes are getting

I dont disagree, but my point is, you're suggesting we get a youth player, promote them, and they replace the goals from arnautovic + sanchez for us - that's 11 goals last year, have we *ever* had a first 1/2 seasons from a youth player who scored 11 goals for us? Martins did in his 2nd season (1st full season), but thats the only one that jumps to mind

I don't remember Inter played young players enough as a backup, rotational starter, or regular starter, let alone score a lot of goals since Moratti/Facchetti regime. The club only had signed a (mature/old) star since then.

You mean 5.5 goals? Should be average of the two, not sum.

Di Marzio maintains that Sanchez has made the choice to return to Udinese.
OFFICIAL: It has been 13 years since the two-time Copa America winner last turned out for Udinese.

El Niño Maravilla is back to score against Inter 🤍🖤

Sooner than expected:

Alexis has suffered a myofascial legion in his left leg during a recent training session, but have not put a recovery timeframe on the injury.

The recovery time for that particular issue can vary massively depending on severity, but the worst examples tend to be somewhere around four to six months.

Why is he always pissed off and moaning about something? Thought he’d be a much happier person having moved back to Udine. But no - finger pointing, ranting etc

Totally didn’t fit in with our team vibe. Arna is an upgrade in that regard

If I had to live in Udine, I would also be pissed off and moaning
