Beppe Marotta

[Kramerica Industries]

He's mostly right. But he's saying hakimi used Italy as a stepping stone to move to the fucking French league? Yeah right

PSG is mostly a stepping stone right now into Scrooge McDuck's vault which, in the interest of fairness, is better than we can do for players right now.

 

[brehme1989]

I am pretty certain he chose France not because of the league that he was going to play in but because of the money PSG were prepared to pay him.

The option to stay at Inter wasn't there, it was between Chelsea iirc and PSG. His wife is some actress or something, French speaking that also speaks Spanish, so makes sense to move there.

So far rumours of Dybala (yay), rumours of Mhiki (boooo), Bremer almost done (yaaay), Frog leaving (okay), Vandehousen coming (yaaay), Vecino leaving (yaaay), Sanchez leaving (it's the right thing atm), Vidal leaving (yaaay), rumours of Bastoni and DiMarco leaving (booo)

Anything else?

MAROTTA: ‘INTER WANT TO CLOSE EVERYTHING OUT IN JUNE’​

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta, days after meeting Paulo Dybala’s agent, confirmed that the club plan to carry out all their business this month.

Speaking to Calciomercato.com, Marotta discussed Inter’s plans for this summer’s transfer window.

“We are working to set up a competitive team as Inter deserve.
“The work of myself, Ausilio and Baccin is aimed at closing everything out within the month of June, because we want to provide Inzaghi with the best possible team, always respecting the concept of sustainability that we must always keep in mind.”

Financial reasons behind this, I`m sure of it.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Bold thing to say. So you expect me to believe our mercato is done before July? Yeah right.

I guess that's some communication to the outside, to other market participants.

 

[Il Drago]

Definitely financial reasons. I don't think Marotta has ever finished mercato at the end of June in his entire career. He's notorious for letting negotiations drag on.

 

[ElDuccio]

maybe financial reasons but let's also not forget that the season starts early because of the world cup

 

[brehme1989]

I am getting high hopes that this is because we may get sold in the summer. You usually freeze transfer activity during that period.

It makes too much sense from a sporting perspective, but we rarely do...

Didn't click on the link, but I know he also said there is nothing going on with PSG and Skriniar =)

 

[Stefan]

So Beppe wants everything done before the mercato even opens.
What are we suppose to do for the other 2 months?
Doesn't Beppe understand we are used to our directors being on vacation till mid August.
Doesn't he want to sit on a Brazilian beach like branca.

For me, completing the incoming transfers to the end of June is great, and it will allow to Inzaghi and players to get the maximum of the preseason.

I think last year that was the idea with selling Hakimi early on, but he didn't expect Lukaku to leave. He tried to sell Bastoni early this summer for the same reason imo.

Sell Bastoni and fulfill Zhang's demands, and then get the incoming targets done and have the squad completed early summer for Inzaghi. But Bastoni refused to go so he has to sell another player now.

 

[Steevee]

Credit Sir, that is the most I have laughed in a while!

 

[CafeCordoba]

Mostly completing the window by the end of June would be incredible. 2 months of window open and we'd be mostly done before that? Of course there would be some minor things anyway but having the squad close to done when the preseason starts would be more than great.

As long as it doesn't include selling our stars.

 

[_OC_]

We must thank the club owners. I hope it can all be finalised in a few days"(...)describing Lukaku only as “a player who did very well here and we are happy he is coming back home.”

The gall. The absolute gall.

Lukaku was here for two years, did a great job, was beloved and hailed as a leader by mostly everyone, fans and teammates alike... and then promptly left the second something he found to be slightly more interesting knocked on his door. He thanked Inter, but said Chelsea was his home and boyhood dream.

That's fair. That's what footballers do. That's what hired guns do. What they think is best for their careers. There is, in my mind, no reason to say no Lukaku coming back here, momentarily, on a deal that's almost too good to be true. That does not, however, absolve what happened as last year. As the CN said, he's starting from zero. Not as a leader, not as an icon, not as a savior.
And Inter, a club he has fewer appearences for than he has for Anderlecht, Everton and Manchester is certainly not in the slightest his home.
Drop the lip service, we already have players that treat Inter like a home.

Speaking of...

There is interest from many clubs, both for Skriniar and for other players. We will evaluate it calmly. We don’t want to let go of anyone unless they request to be sold, but sustainability must always be kept in consideration too.

Again - the gall. Brehme even called that this would somehow turn into placing the blame of the player himself. No, this prostrating and public auctioning of one of the biggest assets, on and certainly off the field, isn't down to management.

The same person, that on the first of June this year said this;

I’d like to be able to do something similar to what Hamsik did at Napoli. Inter are back to competing in Europe, there’s real progress.

The fans can also see it, there were 75,000 spectators at every home game.

My future is at Inter, I have a contract and nothing has changed.

Of transfer rumours linking him away from the club, he said that "They come around every few months, every year, but there’s nothing to them. I’m satisfied at Inter. We won the Scudetto, then two other trophies. We still have more goals to achieve."

is the one pushing to be sold. The same person who has reiterated that exact same point at numerous times, wants away all of a sudden. After parading Bastoni around London, only for him to put his foot down almost immediately, this is just a happenstance of chance.
This isn't an instance of a desperate management being led by the hand by hopeless, Chinese pencil pushers without a project, who keep forcing obscene, impossible financial restrictions on the club like nothing ever seen before in European football history. The same owners that you're happily and readily on your knees for, thanking them for bringing on a mercenary like Lukaku on.

This is 215 appearances, future captain of the club Milan Skriniar wanting out.

This is the guy that has seemingly requested to be sold.

Like Hakimi, who, only a few weeks after pointing at the club crest and symbolically pointing on our home turf, requested to be sold.

Like fuck it is.

He's bringing on the guy who promptly left the club at its highest when he saw something shiny in London, and is desperately trying to do the same with the ladyboy buddy who cried tears of an infant after his last home match at Juventus, all the meanwhile forcing out players who actually breathe and bleed the colors - like few, if any players nowadays do.

Inter isn't Lukaku's home and it certainly isn't Marotta's home.

And if this kind of thinking and indirect disintegration of togetherness and brotherhood continues, directly brought on by the management, it can't be much of a home for anyone.

 

[Steevee]

Gritty, but excellent post OC.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah, unfortunately that's the way it is how @_OC_ put it. If we now force Skriniar out, it might disgruntle the whole locker room. It might affect the future where we don't end up having players who'll grow INTO this club because deep inside they know they are just tradable assets for the club, nothing else.

Disagree entirely on this sentiment.

We 'forced' Lukaku and Hakimi out last year, everyone thought this would happen. Instead now we have Bastoni Lautaro and Skriniar openly resisting their sale. I'm sure Barella would too if there were interests. We also kicked out Icardi and Perisic before that but they were seen as bad apples anyway.

And then there is a question is forcing players out even a thing? Because otherwise Dalbert, Lazaro, Vidal, Sanchez... would be somewhere else already, but they are not.

I don't like the fact that we're actively persuading Skirniar to leave but I don't think we're burning any bridges, so you can rest easy there.

 

[CafeCordoba]

We absolutely did not force Lukaku out. Management was desperate trying to keep him but he had made his mind.

I'm saying when this forcing out keeps happening yearly, it can effect the squad. We forced Hakimi out but he was here for that one season. It's not the same thing as forcing player out who's been here for years, has grown to Inter, wants to stay there (talks about what Hamsik did with Napoli) and would have been probably a future captain. No, that's not comparable to Hakimi (or even Lukaku, if we forced him out which we didn't).
