Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

[Demenza Senile]

Zidane has been pilloring Bale in the media and he recently said Bale will be gone very soon.Similarly Boateng at Bayern has also been told to F.O. So us going to the media regarding Icardi is not something done only by Marotta and Conte.In a way Icardi needs to get bids for him and adjust just like Bale is probably going to do.


I think with Dzeko coming here it will make Icardi rush.Plus him not training with the team means potential suitors for him will want to hurry and sign him up so that he is at peak fitness for the start of the season for them.The longer this goes on the more Icardi is hurt and hence his future team so its probably not as bad a tactic as some of us are making it out to be here because no club will want to take Icardi late in the season and then probably jeopardise their starting 5-6 games to get him in proper shape and adjust to the new team's tactics.

Can someone tell me why we redeemed Politano? It was a option and not an obligation to buy, right?

If wingers have no place in Conte's 352, then what was the point of paying those extra 20m to make the purchase permanent? I mean he was decent/good last season, but dropping 20m just to play an okay-ish winger out of position is simply silly.

The purchase would have made more sense if he could have continued where he left off last season as a RW.

Because it was a gentlemen's agreement. They helped us with plusvalenza last year (they bought a kid who didn't play in Serie A for 5m) and we agree to buy him. You cannot shit on your word! That leaves a bad impression overall in the league. No one will want to do business with you!

For the club he was good enough last season so they bought him outright
Politano is Polivalente or multi-purpose player, can play as Lw, RW, CF, SS, AM
I'm sure Conte will like him.

And a good relationship with the club made possible a good deal for sensi as well. 20M in this mercato is nothing

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

Could we try and force Icardi-Milik swap somehow
Could be sort of a solution too, don’t you think?

We can't force Napoli, Icardi nor Milik. Other than that it's a good plan.

 

[JJM]

I'm curious what will happen if we can't get rid off N9, Icardi and Perisic. I'm not saying sell because... We won't get the fees we want anyway. This is just happy to get rid off kind of deal.
I swear even a genius goes full retard at Inter... Must be a weird gas leak at Appiano
Elements yet uknown to mankind eating up brains probably
This is the only logical, sort off, explanation for me

We are totally fucked. No offers for Dalbert, Mario, Perisic. Icardi only RuBe.
I can't be optimistic any longer.

 

[TheNetworkZ]

I just have a dreadful feeling of how this mercato will end. Too much dead weight kept as well as not fixing our striker issue.

 

[JJM]

I will explain the forward tactics again
You play Frog or Longo or Lukaku or Candreva ... Well complete logs upfront to confuse the opposition and then u play the corner game where Godin, SDV, Dumbo, Vecino score from corners! 10 corners a game is 3 goals for sure. Small boy Sensi has perfect crosess from corners.
Conte ball, very simple

For the same reason why bought Gagliardini and will redeem Sensi next year..

Our management is incompetent and they think collecting overrated Italian trash is gonna benefit us somehow. Notice how none of Milan, Roma, Napoli, Lazio or Atalanta are engaging in this foolishness, its just us.

This is the worst generation of Italian footballers in decades, yet here were are collecting players who weren't even good enough to disappoint for their country.

This goes well with Suning's idea of buying time while doing practically nothing.

Roma got Cristante which a lot of people consider a mediocre Italian. They also got Mancini who was benched by a 33 year old Masiello last second half of the season. If Inter made rise purchases you would be calling them mediocre.

 

[crzdcolombian]

Hope we sell some dead weight

Still annoyed we gave Rano and our 2 backup goalies new deals. Huge waste of money

Replacing Icardi with Dzeko and Lukaku and spending money on top of that is going to be the worst decision this club has ever made and that is saying alot

 

[ADRossi]

The Politano deal was never an "option." We used the option language to circumvent FFP when in reality we had a handshake deal with Sassuolo to redeem him no matter what.

 

[CafeCordoba]

And probably same thing with Sensi.

With Barcelona, we fucked them over but at this point it's more important to have good relations inside Serie A than with Barcelona. Hopefully in few years it's the other way around (and we don't even have to do these shenanigans).

 

[Nyall]

Cristante had a better season than both Gagliardini and Sensi and would walk into our midfield if he had those two as his competition.

They also got Mancini who was benched by a 33 year old Masiello last second half of the season. If Inter made rise purchases you would be calling them mediocre.

It would be if their defense wasn't as bad as it is. Getting Mancini improves their defense. What does getting Sensi do for us? We signed him and now are begging for SMS, dreading the thought of us going into next season with Sensi as a starter.

I can understand Rano but huge waste of money for the two goalies contracts? Seriously? Padelli earns 500k and Berni earns 200k. 700k for a team like Inter are peanuts. Compare that to what other top Italian teams pay for their 2nd and 3rd GK:

Juventus: Perin (2.3), Pinsoglio (0.3)

Milan: Reina (3), A. Donnarumma (1)

Napoli: Ospina (1.4), Karnezis (0.5)

Roma: Mirante (0.9), Fuzato (0.5)

Wouldn't say that Cristante had a better season than Sensi, although he wasn't really playing his best position. Cristante's best quality are runs from midfield and goal-scoring and Gagliardini, who you say yourself had an awful season, managed to score more goals. And its not as if Gagliardini is a great goal-scorer. Unless you think Cristante has other qualities other than his runs and goals so I'd love to know what you liked about him from his time at Roma.

Getting Mancini who played in a 3-man defence and was benched by Masiello to replace Manolas is hardly an improvement.

But then again I remember you praising Milan for their Calhanoglu and Bonucci purchases a few years ago and how they were ahead of us, only for them to finish behind us again.

Not saying it doesn't change reality.

Context matters.

4 Goals in 2 games against a Genoa team that barely escaped relegation and 1 against SPAL should be the last thing a team heading to the Champions League uses to assess their players. The fact that we couldn't even depend on a guy we spent 20 million and instead turned to 34 year old Borja should tell you more than enough about him and his season.

Unless you think Cristante has other qualities other than his runs and goals so I'd love to know what you liked about him from his time at Roma.

What exactly does Gagliardini or Sensi offer?

Getting Mancini who played in a 3-man defence and was benched by Masiello to replace Manolas is hardly an improvement.

Mancini started 25 league games last year on one of the best teams in the league, only a couple less than Manolas. Mancini also had 5 goals. If he were to put in that same amount of production for Roma next year, they would be better off.

Surely you understand the difference between buying players from Atalanta who have no business being where they are and from Sassuolo who are only in business because of clubs like Inter using them for FFP purposes right?

But then again I remember you praising Milan for their Calhanoglu and Bonucci purchases a few years ago and how they were ahead of us, only for them to finish behind us again.

Yet somehow even with Gattuso as their coach, they were one D'Ambrosio miracle away from passing us.
