Mauro Icardi

[Bluenine]

It is starting to become obvious that this "injury" which the doctors cannot detect and which miraculously happened exactly at the same time he was stripped of captaincy is a smokescreen for an extremely unprofessional and immature player. I am losing my patience with Icardi. Maybe the time for acton is here.

Yes, we will lose a lot of money by punishing him if that means he sits out the rest of the season with his "injury". But our cost will be much higher if we let him blackmail the club in such manner and get away with it by getting a big contract. Marotta should make it very clear to Icardi that if wants a new contract he needs to apologise (privately) to the team and get back to playing first. Otherwise get ready to become a bench player for the rest of the 2 years of his contract and destroy his career, coz no one will pay 110m for someone who is not playing.

Even if this gets resolved, Inter should sell Icardi in the summer. His professionalism and wife will always be a liability.

"I know that there will be talks with the club managers, and I will be very happy if there is an offer to extend the contract. But the most important thing for now is that we achieve our goals." - Raphael Guerreiro

What mature player / employee sounds like.

Sometimes I get around to thinking that considering the possible interested parties, we were never going to realistically get 110m for him. But then, Chelsea spend 75m on Pulisic and it's like :serious:, whoever wants our 7th highest goal scorer better fork out 200m.

The market is fucked. I see us getting 70m, tops, which is a shame because he's worth more, but also it's completely plusvalenza so can fund a lot of signings.

Get fucked Mauro, he could have been a legend here.

 

[Hasan]

I would be happy with good sale but I would be even happier that he pulls full Adriano mode, take Wanda and kids to move in some Argies favelas.

This Tullio Puglia guy knows how to do his job as a football photographer.

 

[Palacio]

I am surprised why the shoe company he is endorcing isn't suing him for not doing what he agreed to do. Benching him would bankrupt him soon with his retarded agent.

Such a waste of good ticket seats.
Inter could have made money on those seats, I’m sure they expensive tickets.

Only if Inter lack cojones. Inter hold all the cards here. Icardi & Wanda are either too stupid to realise this, or they are counting on Inter folding like a wuss.

I think Marotta has the cojones to not blink first. In todays market, 110m is a "discount" for Icardi - which is why we were looking to give him a bigger contract. I think Marotta will make it clear to Icardi that his career is over if he keeps acting like a unprofessional retard. Inter will not sell for a penny less than 110m, and no one will pay that amount for a player who is refusing to play. So Icardi's only option (even if he wants to leave Inter) is to grow up and apologise to the team and accept whatever penalty Inter hand him. Once he starts scoring again, there will be clubs willing to pay his buy-out clause. Its either that, or rot on the bench for 2 years.

It takes cojones to say that we are willing to write off 110m just to discipline a player, and stay strong enough not accept a 70m or 80m offer this summer. I think (and hope) that Inter now have those cojones. Coz if Inter fold, then in future other players will pull the same stunt and it will end up costing us much more than 110m. Inter of Moratti era would have folded like a cheap whore by now, that is the reason these shit-holes think they can get away treating the club like this. Players don't do this at Rube. Fuck Icardi, make an example of him and it will never happen again at Inter.

 

[YoramG]

Man I hope so Bluenine. Even that 40m difference of 110 from 70 buys us Barella/Rakitic, which is huge, and akin to the Pogba sale allowing Juve to buy Higuain and Pjanic pretty much in exchange.

Nice written but I think you forget the salary okerface:

If we let him rotten on the bench, basically we lost 110m player for free + 20m cash.
If we sell him for 70m, we get 70m and save 20m.

Inflating or not, 110m is still an insane amount, enough to buy almost every players (bar the elite ones). If a team is that rich, are you sure there isn't any better choice for them than a player forcing his way out of the club?

This is one of those rare cases where the transfer fee impact dwarves the wages. 110m or 130m, the rationale stays exactly the same. The main thing here is the principle and Inter hold all the cards. Even Icardi & Wanda are not foolish enough to sit on the bench for 2 years. If Inter make sure they understand that we are serious, they will blink.

Either way, Inter should get rid of this piece of junk in the summer. Either for 110m offer, or on a loan+option totalling 110m (where the loan fee is sufficiently large like 30m).

I am quite hopeful Inter will show cojones on this one. It was very encouraging when Inter stood their ground with Nainggolan and Perisic. We finally seem to have a competent management.

Big clubs normally spend 15-20% of their revenue for a marquee player. So, 110 mln is quite affordable. The problem is Wanda. No one in his mind will be dealing with her.

That problem is my point. A team have that money, but whether they want to spend on Icardi is another story.

Everyone know why he is on the market. They spend 110m and have to carry a ticking bomb at the same moment. Is he worth such huge risk, and what guarantees that Wandito don't throw tantrum again?

If I were them, I'd look elsewhere and avoid the headache. CR7 left last year for only slightly more.

 

[dax21]

Well, the club officially gave him, or well, them, an offer. The ball is in their court now. Time to see if he really wants to stay at Inter like they say.

this is one reason why i put all my hopes on sarri. he's crazy enough not to care about all of this.

 

[Palacio]

If we buy Jovic. Icardi will beg Marotta to let him play because he knows with his attitude and Wanda as his agent no one will even think about signing him.

 

[Zlatan4life]

It looks like he’ll stand with Wanda till death and let her keep running her mouth. I really wanted him to stay forever but I’m tired of all this drama. Only thing that would kill me is if he goes to RuBe.... only way I’ll be able to live with that is if we get dybala, which ain’t gonna happen.

You realize that Dybala has scored only 3 league goals and has been awful overall wise for Juve?

I don't think Inter really needs that kind of a player.

Since we only paid 13m for him, I think it is safe to take the risk and bench him and teach this retard and his agent a lesson they will never forget. Loan with an option to buy isn't good though especially with a player like Icardi who would never think twice if he had a chance to hurt us.

 

[Wallace]

No one being sold at 110m is having the issues Icardi has with us right now.

Assuming we freeze him until end of season or start playing him but he keeps playing like shit before he got frozen out, which clearly isn't going to be tolerated and persisted due to us contending for CL qualification, the tight race there leaves no room for such foolishness.

His price will surely drop below 100m.

Of course we can always talk about past merits, but everyone in the world already know he's the dirty laundry here so naturally demand will lower. Who wants to in take someone else's dirty laundry into their own house for 110m.

Simply laughable to insist on it really. For absolute certainty their won't be any bidding war at triple digit million dollar price we would get at his peak. Our damage control is simply insufficient here.
