Luis Jiménez

[sakana]

Update from Parma is that the deal is "missing just one step rather bureaucratic"; the fact that he's coming back from West Ham makes it more complicated, but the delay has nothing to do with Inter.

I'm assuming this means it's still happening, rather than that Parma gave up because it was too complicated.

Wow, no comments in this thread??

I thought for sure this thread would have come back to life for the next few days. I thought Jimenez looked great against us last night. He showed us that talent that we saw from him in little spurts when he was with us.

I thought Parma's best players were Biabiany and Jimenez. Just a coincidence that they are both our players??

well jimenez showed me nothing that i did not know before..

he knows how to dribble, just doesn't know when to dribble and when to pass!

 

[rsz85]

He needs usual play, many minutes, trust to play on high level. So he is only a mid-table material maximum.

In Inter he wouldn't get enough minutes and his performance wouldn't be enough.

Agree

 

[sakana]

I still like him a lot and wish him the best, but I agree that there's just no place for him at Inter right now. He wants to be in Italy, so being at Parma and playing well there is perfect for him; hopefully they'll buy him when the loan ends. (Or half of him? I don't remember the details of the deal.)

We bought the other half of his contract from ternana for €2.5 million and plan to sell him to parma this summer.

Can the rest of Mariga come the other way? Is that an even slightly reasonable hope? (He's only half-Inter, right?)

That's what's likely to happen in either the jimenez or biabany deals.

That would be a smart move. We will probably have to give that plus some money but I think we will get that deal done this summer. Mariga will be more a part of the team next year.

Probably not. Mariga's other half is valued at €5 million, jimenez's full card is valued at €5 million. So may get away with just an exchange.

We should know some time in June. That's when the co-ownerships get sorted.

Stefan, in total how much did we paid for Jimenez? I remember when we bought the first half of his contract, it was more then 2.5 mil.

I have no idea . I think in total it would be €10-12 million. Can't remember how much the first half was I think it was something like €7 million.

Since Inter does not disclose their fees, it is tough to know. When we purchased the 50% in the Summer of 2008, Jimenez was rumored to be valued at €10M total. The rumor by all of the websites and papers back then were that we bought 50% and paid €5M for it. So in total, we spent €7.5M on Jimenez...
