For a player like Karamoh, who I felt made progress last season and was on the verge of getting increased playing time, moving back to France was a shit move. However, I understand why he moved given that Candreva remained and Keita arrived at the end of the transfer window. I think his interests would have been better served by staying on at Inter and being coached by Spalletti but only if Candreva was shipped to another club or Inter did not acquire the services of Keita.
For a player like Pinamonti, going to another club was the only answer. Firstly, because Martinez and Icardi were in front of him in the pecking order. And secondly because he had hardly played in the past 18 or so months.
I agree that there are many factors that have to be taken into consideration when it comes to players being loaned and whether they will be successful while they are on loan. However, I also agree with PHM1605. Loanee clubs when they take a player are not really invested in the development of that player in the same way a parent club would be.
Personally, I believe loaning a player is risky because it means that the management of that player and their development, or lack thereof, is out of the hands of the parent club. For a player like Adriano who went to Parma and Fiorentina that is not such a big deal because he was immensely talented and it was only a matter of time before he returned to Inter as a starter. Those clubs would have been stupid not to use him.
But for players like Karamoh, Di Marco, and Pinamonti it is a little more difficult to tell whether they will be used and how they will develop. Regarding Karamoh, I would be extremely disappointed if he regresses and gets little playing time in France as I feel he was on the verge of a breakthrough. With regards to Di Marco, my only hope is that he gets alot of playing time at Parma and returns to Inter at the end of the season a better and more confident player than when he left.
