Beppe Marotta

[varmin]

Overrated mf

You deserve Fassone and Mirabelli.

 

[Mr-Intermilan]

tough time,no cash
sold MVP for 18million,his wages were around 12 @ inter?
so who is next lautaro?

he should work more into the stadium,this is one of the solutions to grant more revenues,the academy too.
we cant reach CL finals each year with scrapyard players and freebies.

I think the problem with the stadium - which I agree with you, btw - is the cost of it. Its a whole different league. If we buy half the stadium with Milan its like 400mil each, and 3 years away. If we pay for it all, its 800mil. We cant get that on financing, and there are other people at the club working on that AFAIK

This guy can entice almost anyone to come to Inter but when it comes the other way around, when a player leaves this club he can't do it without it all becoming very dramatic.

Perisic, Skriniar, now Brozo almost literally went out and told him to go fuck himself publicly in a period of just one year on their way out. That's a trend now and not a coincidence. No matter what you think or feel about these players, there are few components they have in common and like it or not are a matter of fact:

1. Key players for Inter in the club's sporting resurgence, and played a part in winning some amount of silverware for the club after a trophyless decade.

2. All were more or less happy/content to be here and performed well until they were told this or that way that - their stay here is not a priority or are just not needed.

3. They weren't brought here during his tenure, might be or might not be a factor, is this worth looking at? Two of them were hire since 2015 and one of them since 2017.

Everyone must leave (or retire here) at one point but can't this be done in another way that won't make Inter look ridiculous?

He signed Correa for over 30 million.

He let Skriniar leave for free on a Bosman.

He paid close to 20M for a one season loan of Lukaku, who then gave us about one good month of football culminating with the biggest choke job in a final since Higuain in the 2014 WC.

He tried to push Bastoni out the door last summer.

He pushed Brozovic out the door and managed to get his ass handed to him in transfer fee negotiations.

He spent 30M on Gosens, who hasn't come close to living up to the transfer fee.

There's been a lot of good. There's also been a lot of bad in the past 24 months. If we don't win the Scudetto next season, I think the window will officially be closed on this core of player sales.

I wish we could have gotten five years of Marotta with real ownership. You can't afford to miss as often as he has when you have no budget.

The Correa deal and losing Skriniar for nothing are infuriating. €30m for a forward that’s never scored more than 10 league goals in a season. And the whole Skriniar debacle was just an egg on the face for the entire management.

We fleeced Chelsea for Lukaku. Zhang is seemingly in love with him though and will weaken the rest of the squad just to get him back. And at the time, Gosens was thought to be a decent deal. A ready replacement for the departing Perisic. But the injuries, inconsistent playing time and the emergence of Fede have made him expendable.

Not every deal can be a winner, especially when he’s working with a minuscule budget but Marotta really needs a good summer mercato. The Brozo situation has not been a good start.

I've always been a Beppe fan, but Im starting to think maybe bringing back Branca isnt the worst idea.

Noi, it would be the most retarded, stupidest, dumbest idea.

 

[Jnr]

Noi, it would be the most retarded, stupidest, dumbest idea.

I forgot to put smiley after my sentence. I would never choose Branca over Beppe.

The Brozo circus made me mad tbh. I was allover the place.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

Easy to criticize him but we also have to understand that we’re attempting to sustain a winning project with a negative to 0 budget.. it’s not exactly a simple situation and most directors couldn’t hope to pull it off. This is a huge summer with massive turnover and could very well come to define his inter legacy. If he screws this up, we could be in even deeper shit than we are now. I don’t know how we’re going to do it, but I hope we somehow manage to improve.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

The deja vu is real in this thread.

I'm sure the same posters come here to say the same things in the exact order every summer now.

And I feel exactly the same every summer too, I understand why things are what they are, I understand what needs to be done, and I still feel sad and nervous as fuck seeing things unfold.

He has already screwed it up by letting a 60m defender in Skriniar leave for free and selling a 40m midfielder in Brozovic for 18m.

Even being as modest as possible with their valuations, at bare minimum that’s 70m worth of talent you’ve lost / deliberately forced out for completely negligible gain, either financial or footballing.

Marotta has already taken 1 colossal L with the Brozovic farce (2 depending on if you wanna assign the Skriniar failure to this season or the previous )

I can’t wait to see what kind of extremely underwhelming deal he gets for Onana but I guarantee those L’s will rack up by the end of the mercato. I’ll be keeping count!

 

[Besnik]

Wait until @.h. comes with an explanation regarding financial issues and pluzvalenza.

We can’t sell for shit but I also think that has to do with the entire world knowing we’re desperate and NEED to sell in order to get our incoming mercato moving. The Skriniar situation was undoubtedly a complete disaster as is this Brozovic situation, but I’ll try to keep my cool and hope we can dig up some gems. Enough to compensate for the inevitable L’s we will sustain.

Well to be honest he is most of the time very realistic in his explanations and that stands out.

You could really split this forum in:
- .h. being very realistic analytical member, brehme being very analytical and realistic but often times swayed by his own hatred/agenda/animosity/call-it-what-you-want on Lukaku and all Juve related folks and topics;
- a handful of more senior members posting and discussing with these two on all topics, regardless if they share the same opinion or not;
- a handful of anti-.h. and anti-brehme posters countering their every opinion;
- a we-hate-Zhang camp just spitting hate in every thread;
- a we-are-poor camp just bitching in every thread;
- and then there's Nerazzurri Ninja posting his Fifa Career mode wishlists in every player and transfer related thread

60% or more posts are bitching, bemoaning and hating when it comes to transfers and finances.

Of course, I mean no offense to anyone really by this

 

[brehme1989]

Fuck Juventus

 

[Glass box]

we are poor

 

[Corrode]

suning is bankrupt hahaha XD

This is the gist of it all.

We want to have a winning project WHILE trying to cut costs at the same time. We can look at Milan side which don't have ambitions to a winning project at the moment.

 

[Nothing]

You deserve Fassone and Mirabelli.

Both would never sell Brozovic for 17m

 

[Kova10]

Both would never sell Brozovic for 17m

And remain unsuccessful as evidently proven as their career went on. On the other hand the success is wandering with Marotta all around Italy despite him being such an incompetent turd. What a lucky charm he has wow

 

[varmin]

Here is my reply to @Brehme in another thread
"How much is he overrated? I just see some facts, and the facts are since he came, we finished twice second, won the scudetto, played CL and EL finals, won 2 Coppas and 2 Suoercoppas. All of that in 4 seasons, provided that after the first one Zhang cut the money off. Let's compare to the 4 years before him"

Please show me what the above-mentioned two won as directors here and in Milan? Shitting now on Marotta is quite easy, because the club is nearly broken and for him is so difficult to reduce the salaries, operate without any money and keep the team competitive in the same time.

And before start criticizing randomly once again, let me point something to you. Last year Marotta had the Bremer's deal in a hand at the beginning of the mercato. The only thing required by Zhang was to give 30 mln in order to close it, and then the money would have been returned after the Skriniar's sale. This didn't happen. Now the situation is repeating once again. He had a agreement for Frattesi which required around 25-30 mln to close it, and after that Marotta could have waited and pick up the best offer for Brozovic instead to hurry and sell him for peanuts.

That strategy of self financed mercato, and the tactics - first we have to sell and later to buy is known by anyone, and therefore everyone is trying to get a gain of it and to bully us on the transfer market. If you are in the shoes of Marotta, and you have the following limitations by Zhang, what you gonna do?
- The mercato is self financed. You have to sell first in order to buy.
- The salaries bill shall be reduced.
- The squad shall remain competitive and make it in top 4.
- You should replace all of outgoing players: SDV, Lukaku, DD, Skriniar, 5GAG, Dzeko, Bellanova. It's up to you who wants to keep

Please share you thoughts
