Don't have one.
Morata didn't get along with Conceicao. Sadly Arna is loved by everyone in the locker room.
Yeah no shit, that's why I emphasized they didn't have balls to do it.

I'm not sure you understand how putting someone under pressure to fuck off works. Just look what milan did with morata after only six months of him not being good enough and then come back to me and talk about contracts.
You forget the salary and age difference. If someone pays me 3.5m for my pension he can yell at me all he wants, fuck him, I am still receiving my cash :D

Morata still has a career to play for (maybe luring some Saudis last minute offer due to his fame), while Arnau has shit. That's why this deal is terrible from the beginning.

Let's get real here. Who's gonna spend 50m on Hakan who turns 31 in few days and he's struggling with injuries this season?

The time to sell Hakan was last summer when he was coming from a great season and there was a serious interest from Bayern. But both player and club decided against it. That ship has sailed. Hakan isn't going anywhere.

If we are to sell someone in the summer, it's gonna be Thuram.

The point is we had almost one and a half years to do something (after the first six months when everybody immediately realized he is flop), and we did shit all. This is one of the worst deals we v done, and we just let it roll in its entirety. Never once did I got an impression we are doing everything in our power to get rid of him, and that includes maybe even paying small portion of his salary, putting pressure etc... That's the point i m trying to get across here.

In the extreme cases, you have teams buying articles in major newspapers and getting headlines like "the club asked this or that player to find another club". That's the thing you expect a club to do when they hopefully realize they v made a huge mistake. Didn't see that at all from inter and I expected it given how much of a calamity this transfer was. Who knows maybe someone is protecting his ass, someone who brought him here, by not doing anything about it.

As about as much as we paid for Kovačić, no? If you add inflation

Both played a lot for their young age, we just tried to be ahead of the curve this one time, some other clubs probably snooping around too. At least he is the kind of player we need, midfielder with an engine who knows how to pass the fucking ball around

Here's a video just to show a bit

We need Paz to replace Miki. No one else can do that.
Zielinski is failing to do it tbh
Sucic will probably be vice Barella and Fratessi might as well be sold.
Rici might be vice Calha if Asslani will fail to impress the mgmt or Calha will be sold if we get a wild offer.

Let's not exaggerate here. Paz isn't the only creative mifielder in the world. We aren't even sure a midfield trio would suit him as he mostly plays as an attacking midfielder at Como.

Inter do, but Arnau always refuses to leave:

He is too low profile to earn headlines bro. Imagine a 35yo from Bologna and Stoke, rarely plays, stealing the headline... 😂

But if you don't use hyperbole no one will find your point compelling!
Also keep saying that the management is lazy and not good enough as far transfers go, but then hyperfixate on only 2 or 3 same names because you know better than them! Football!

Morata evidently was more than happy to leave and found a club willing to pay him what he wants. Arnautovich is more than happy to stay and no club in the world, not even in Saudi, will pay him what he wants.

Telling an employee with a contract to fuck off and / or 'putting pressure on him' might work as a strategy if you're Tony Soprano, but in the real world it's a quaintly comical idea.

Unfortunately I can see it happening. Oaktree might want to cash in 50-55mil while his age still retains value.
Worse than that is I see people all over twitter advocating for that move. It would be the same bullshit like with Brozović but this time don't expect immediate substitute like nothing happened (Hakan after Brozovic). We also need to watch out for some stupid idea like selling Hakan for 20M to reduce wages like we did that horrible move with Brozović and until this day we didn't find right replacement.

Miki played AM too at Roma and elsewhere,Luis Alberto as well before joining Lazio...Inzaghi can't play him as a CM then?
It's what the rumors floating around say it didn't come from me...but yeah i think it would be a nice idea if we can manage it financially. The kid is super talented technically...Inzaghi can implement his tactics on him.

We are only linked to Paz for that role so far.
If other names start floating around ...i trust Inzaghi and the mgmt to know what they need. But they don't always get it right and i will say it when i disagree...those who wanna be company yes man...they can do it but I won't stand here and pretend it ok that some arrogant lunatic pretends to know my thought process.
