A broke immigrant one with 3 siblings

You never felt the shame of buying a game at GameStop that you paid $60 a week earlier and they offered you 20 haha

They should've made you work for your stupid games ;)

Di Marzio - #Godin to the @CagliariCalcio, there is the green light @Inter: agreement reached on severance pay, now the triennial with the Sardinians.

Romano - Diego Godin to Cagliari, here we go! Agreement almost reached, he’s going to leave Inter as a free agent and will sign until June 2023 as new Cagliari player. Last details to be completed soon. Then Arturo Vidal will join to Inter [done deal].

Di Marzio - The sale of #Godin to the @CagliariCalcio should unlock soon (new contacts tomorrow) the arrival of @kingarturo23 to @Inter


sorry for double post, but the other one was way early.

Are we really going to pay to get rid of our most experienced defender and instead sign a mediocre version of D'Ambrosio and a 35 years old LB who may or may not do well as a LCB?

Don't have one.
I think we got rid of godin to bring vidal. It has to do more with wage issue and the fact we got an offer from cagliari and have to sell to bring new players in than its tactical or cus darmian is coming. Think darmian will be vice hakimi, and i m hundred percent sure smalling will be godin replacement.

He was nowhere near as bad as some members made him out to be and i wouldn't mind keeping him as a backup. Especially when his replacement is rumoured to be freaking Darmian. He was a bad fit for Conte's back 3 but he worked hard to adjust to his coach instructions. Professional till the end. Grazie Diego. Shame you didn't come earlier in your career.

This is a move to decrease our wage bill. How much it's decreased it's yet to be seen as it took this long to agree the severance pay. We basically pushed Godin out to save salaries, only one season after we signed him to a 3 year contract (2+option, I don't know).

At least this will allow us to add Vidal but we need to add a defender now also.

Not sure if its really Darmian as the new back up. There are some 2-4th tier rumors about Christopher Smalling./ What vex said

Our wage bill will not decrease. This is a move to NOT INCREASE the wage bill substantially. Vidal salary will surely be above 5.5-6M.

Between the severance, Vidal's salary AND new defender's salary....lol. No additional comment needed.

From what i see based on Fabrizio Romano, Godin will leave as free transfer to Cagliari.

I hope this true .. This move will reduce our wage bill

Yes of course. But this move was to decrease salary bill to allow adding Vidal there. But indeed given the severance pay, Vidal salary and the salary of the new defender, we are only adding salary.

I think management and Conte decided having Godin isn't worth the extra money his salary takes, so we're gonna change him to a cheaper option. This salary saving will allow us to add Vidal. And we have other adds to be made too.

What's the next Atletico defender we'll be able to get for free?

Need some of that Darth Ausilio magic.

He woulda been useful at least for that opening match against the dangerous Viola side, since de Vrij is suspended.
But then Vidal wouldn't be in the squad.

Ranocchia was far less error prone than Godin last season.

That’s true. To be fair, Godin and Skriniar were always were likely to be exposed playing on the side, often with Candreva for cover.
