Beppe Marotta

[brightbackground]

I love how while everybody's celebrating the first thing Marotta does after extending is to get Calhanoglu

 

[Universe]

Marotta has gone a great job since he took over. The decision to sell Icardi and replace him with Lukaku was a financial success for us, as Icardi's value has only declined since he left. The only bad purchase he's authorized has been Lazaro. He's even found some reasonable low-cost solutions, such as Darmian, Young, and Sanchez (in that he was free).

I hope he can facilitate a strong summer to finally clean up this club's financial mess. We're less than 12 months away from being free of Nainggolan, Mario, Vecino, Perisic*, and most of the dead weight. The financial situation could improve vastly if he gets this mercato right.

*Perisic is a little unfair to include with the above trash, but his wages are way too high given our current situation.

It is almost as if every poster on here has tried to wipe that cunt from their collective memory. And the worst part is that no one is talking about him and there are no rumours regarding where he might land next season. Put simply, he is shit and we are stuck with him.

 

[CafeCordoba]

The issue with Dalbert is only his book value. His wages are relatively low. And his book value is coming down every year. Probably he's going on loan again since no one's gonna pay us 8m€.

Forza Don Sick cunt. Hear me verbally sucking him off here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcLhmZwOPKI

The issue with Dalbert is we should have never got him. The same summer we spent 20m on Dalbert, Atalanta signed Gosens for 1m. Like i have said before, even when you don't have money there are good market opportunities if you know where to look.

 

[ADRossi]

Dalbert was a Sabatini special. Nice's forum was laughing at us when the reports came out that we would be paying 20M for him.

so true, i believe its more into
inter environment and the continuous coach changes, hope we can resolve this problem

from my point of view
having a stadium
having a INTER "B" team
is crucial in this tough times.

That made me physically ill to read

That’s true but if Gosens came to inter and performed the way he did at Atalanta in his first season we would view him the same way we do Dalbert.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah Gosens needed that perfect Gasperini system and some adaptation time. Definitely not comparable. But just goes to show how important the scouting is and understanding what kind of player and PERSON you are signing. Dalbert couldn't handle the Meazza pressure at all among other things.

 

[Ethor]

Just got through Beppe's opening comments during the "kickoff press conference " for the up coming season. Not a particularly happy picture painted for the team which are current champions, IMHO. At least it was honest assessment, but only partially enlightening.

 

[CafeCordoba]

This is a google translated comment by Marotta:

Marotta: “We have players who are about to expire and in light of the situation in football, it is right not to run after them. The cost of labor is disproportionate to revenues, so you need to have the strength to let them go in some cases ”.

Italian:

Marotta: “Abbiamo giocatori in scadenza di contratto e alla luce della situazione del calcio, è giusto non correre dietro. Il costo del lavoro è sproporzionato rispetto ai ricavi, quindi bisogna avere la forza di lasciarli andare in alcuni casi”.

Is the translation misleading with translating the è giusto non correre dietro => it is right not to run after them

First thing which came to my mind was the Croatians who have contracts expiring in 2022. Or does he refer to Vidal (also expiring contract but he's wanted out now already).

 

[ADRossi]

Sounds like code for "we're letting Brozovic leave on a Bosman."

 

[Il Drago]

Letting Brozovic contract expire at the end of the season would be a huge mistake. Inter would have to spend serious money, that we don't have, to replace him and you can be certain Juve would do everything they can to get him on a free and he would easily be a starter for them.

 

[brehme1989]

We're already entertaining offers for Brozovic so no surprise here.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Who's our DM if Brozovic is sold? Are we shifting out of the regista system, like how Lazio played with Luis Alberto further up and Leiva being the DM? We got Calhanoglu for the money Brozovic is asking so it's interesting to see what's gonna happen.

Of course we can't let Brozovic go for free. That would be an absolute blunder which would negate everything what we achieved by signing Calhanoglu for free.

 

[DARi0]

Relax, nobody is paying to buy Brozovic. He is probably trying to tame salary expectations, as the club is working on renewals. Would be dumb not to extend his contract.

Marotta first needs to get rid of players and cut salaries, trying to make some money in the process. Then he knows what the budget for the salaries remain.

Only then we can think of replacements (expect loan + option to buy).

Very sorry for him that Suning blocked the De Paul deal, would have been a smart move for 5 installments of 7m.

Marotta was at the ceremony for the drawing up of the 2021-22 Serie A fixture list in Milan this evening and spoke to DAZN.

He was asked about new Roma coach Mourinho’s comments that “it’s easy to win when you don’t pay the wages” of star players.
“We’ve known Mourinho for a long time, he’s a wily old fox accustomed to provoking and trying to get a reaction from his opponents,” replied Marotta.
“I won’t get drawn into it and it’s up to all of us not to get drawn into the traps that are laid out for us.”

The transfer market is inevitably the central focus now after Achraf Hakimi was sold to PSG.
“We start from a squad that won the Scudetto and will 90 per cent be confirmed for this season, so that is a very important foundation to build on.
“We’ll now work to complete the squad in relation to Hakimi’s departure by being creative, as it’s difficult for any club right now to get involved in economically expansive deals.”

Hector Bellerin of Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven talent Denzel Dumfries were proposed as potential Inter signings.
“There are many names, it’s too early to try predicting what will happen now.”

When it comes to the Inter side that won the Serie A title, there are huge question marks over whether Christian Eriksen will be allowed to play in Italy after his cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark and operation to implant a mini-defibrillator.
“We are above all happy to hear he is rediscovering his full health,” noted Marotta.
“As for his return to the field, the situation must be analysed. We hope he can fully rediscover his health and fitness.”

Inter already snapped up a midfielder to replace him, as Hakan Calhanoglu was a free agent after leaving rivals Milan.
“It was not an insult towards Milan, he was just a player who was a free agent. Maybe next time it’ll be Milan who take a player when his contract with Inter expires.”

 

[brehme1989]

How many contract extensions for our players did we have under Marotta? Anyone have a list, including the date?

If we exclude the easy ones (Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio, Kolarov) i can only remember Skriniar and Bastoni. I think Skriniar was around the end of 2018/19 season and Bastoni was this summer. Though to be fair with him he also had verbal agreements for the extensions of De Vrij and Lautaro which didn't materialise for different reasons.

Edit: He also extended Icardi before sending him to PSG. Not sure you count him.
