President Massimo Moratti has warned Inter will “not make big investments” this summer, as they plan on making the most of their youth academy’s success.

So far the Nerazzurri have brought in Rodrigo Palacio from Genoa, but are so far focusing more on selling ageing stars.

“The economic funds for a club that works well also come from what it can make by selling players,” pointed out Moratti.

“The fans appreciate what results the club is achieving in terms of youngsters who come up through the ranks, not just buying famous players.”

That approach was also made clear by promoting Andrea Stramaccioni from the Primavera side to be head Coach.

“Barcelona’s style of churning out champions is a fortune that you have to earn and I think for the last few years we have been trying to do that. Some positive results are starting to arrive.

“In any case, Inter always plan to win.”

half of this is a good idea, ok no big signing and we start to rebuild, fair enough, for this to work any one that does come in should be young or ideally about 27 at the most

palacio, Chivu, Castingos and Mudingayi completely contradict this

inter always plan to win? this makes no sense what so ever, Barcelona 'style' is to implement youth when they have a winning team, not wait till its past it and failing

i thought we had a good opportunity with Strama, doubt MM will have much patience after a worse season than last which is what it will be at this rate

We would need another Facchetti who Moratti would listen. The sad part is he was one of a kind. Facchetti was his fathers legendary player so he had Massimo´s ultimate respect from the start.

Zanetti is a legend but he is too loyal to Moratti so he wouldnt change things enough.

Guys like Zanetti and Cambiasso obviously OKd/recommended the Palacio transfer. They also OBVIOUSLY wanted Lavezzi. It stands to reason they said they like Silvestre and Alejandro Gomez.

Lets face it, Inter is dominated by cliques, just like Zlatan said. :(

We shod all organize and wright a letter via official page about how concerned we are in what direction the club is going with all this moves.

I'm thinking about it for a few weeks now but obviously one guy wont get anybody's attention but if there is a few hundred of us that might rise some eyebrows in the office.

Here is the link for contact. http://www.inter.it/aas/posta/posta.cgi?L=en

Seriously some discontent needs to be heard.

Lets bring Zlatan back not as striker but as Branca´s replacement. :trollol:

Zlatan knows how to do it and he also said that he was an Inter fan when he was a young boy.;)

Barca were failing were a number of years before they started winning again.
and did they win by holding onto (and buying more) old, past it players while talking about playing youth that is actually ends up just rotting away till they realize they arnt going to get a decent chance?

10 million fo palacio as the biggest signing after the season weve just had

ok so hes a good player but 10mil for a 30 year old in our current state is ludicrous. this is the only transfer that can in a fuked up way be acceptable. chivu renewal and some shit guy from bolongna are causing far far more problems to add to our list while do not solve a single one

i can accept no big signing and trusting the youth but that is not what we've seen over the last months.... we've just wasted money on old players.....

we are supposed to be going for youth so lets start with a youthful change at the highest level, let morrati retire and angelo take his place because tbh morrati seems to have lost it

:lol: I find it hysterical that so many people, in threads across this whole forum, haven't actually grasped what the idea of 'youth' and the 'youth project' is all about. There are a few people that understand it, but not many. I just wonder when anybody will actually grasp it.

It's clear as day, yet people continue to misconstrued everything that has been done and currently being done.

I do enjoy reading all the paranoid drama queen post's though :lol:

Well, there's a philosopical question here.


Are youth academies there to best serve the players who train at them in obtaining professional football? Or are they there to serve the club that plays for them in creating prospects for the first team? Because in one context, our academy over the last 10 years is the most successful in Italy, producing a lot of players who now play Serie A/B. In the other context, the last 10 years, they have been a complete disaster.

Not to say anything of the current youth players, that is, of course.

The direction of Inter's youth in the past has been very clear. It did not entirely serve the purpose of fulfilling a first team roster however it did bring some into the first team, and certainly brought a lot of money into the club (over years and years).

Holistically, what kind of purpose do you think that the youth system (which has been heavily invested into for the last couple years) will be serving the club ? to which we may not see the outcomes for at least 3 years.

Problem is not alot of players cant play in our first team, hence they are sold to other Serie A and B teams, our youth teams are very good and play well togehter but the problem comes in when certain players try and make that transition alone to the first team and fail.

Youth teams server mainly 2 purposes, getting players ready for first team action with whatever team in the future, and develop some talented players that can be either sold for a nice amount or can break into the first team.

I think the youth system has not really served the club that well over the last 10 years or so. What actually annoys me is that Ausilio and Samaden refer to this as a golden time, where we won many many youth titles. Most of those players who did that are now retired or playing non-professional football.

I do think, though, that the last couple of years and upcoming few years we have a bit of a golden generation. I dont remember sending out many players on loan previously who actually did so well (Caldi, Benedetti, Bardi, Belec, among many many others), and I think in the next 3-5 years (and even in a longer time frame because of the heavy U-14 investment) we will really see some rewards

That's right, in the past the youth system didn't serve primarily to fill the first team roster like some other very well know European clubs do so well and have done so for 20+ years. Although we have had some players come out of it, they were to few and far between.

It has been clear for a couple years that the direction from the club is to reinforce and improve the youth products so as the club can integrate players from there and farm out a high degree of quality players.

This benefits the club greatly financially both in the fact it can provide 1-2 maybe 3 players into the first team every year (but realistically more like every 2 years) and takes away the nuisance in finding replacements.

I hate saying it and I hate comparing Inter to clubs from other leagues, but this is what clubs such as Ajax (first and foremost), Man U, Barca and Bayern have done so well for a long long long time. Inter just didn't do it, and that's because of the nature of Serie A from the past. Serie A was simply the Millionaires league, that's where the money was. Inter was run like this. This is no longer the case and the club is just now shifting to methods that have been established long ago by others. Not an easy transition, but a transition that will see effects in 3-4 years.
