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

[chipschups]

yeah considering anzhi still want 15 mil trf fee,,
its quite a lot of money even if we really get that CL spot,,

If we sign Eto'o at this point, I may (finally) lose all faith in the idea that there is any type of "plan" in place. There has been a clear investment in youth in this mercato (apart from Campagnaro, who clearly will serve an important purpose within the squad i.e. depth, experience, and familiarity with system).

Are we really going to scrimp, save, and go after only the cheapest young players available to rebuild our MF and then just splash out 20m on Eto'o when we already have 4 decent striker options available?

I don't want Eto'o, thanks.

We are good with our forward department.

I really hate you. With all your trolling I am not sure if this is really your opinion or not.

To compare Campagnaro and Eto'o is actualy very good.

Campagnaro

- 33 yrs old
- Free transfer
- Great professional with big hart
- solid European career

Eto'o

- 32 yrs old
- Free transfer
- Great professional with big hart
- Legendary European career
- Former player

Now, imagine one thing. When player like Campagnaro who didn't know the enviroment have such a big influence in our starting 11 imagine what kind of influence will have legendary player like Samuel Eto'o.

I know what you saying, youth project and everything but still ... He's world class, he's professional, he loves us and he's free. Motivated Eto'o is a nothing than a gem for this young team.

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

Eto'o for free and a two year deal would be awesome - thinking otherwise seems to be the case of forgetting that we have to play and try to compete also this season. If we always think about the future and the age structure of the squad, when will the success come? I mean... future will always be in the future.

Only the fact that Anzhi wants 15 mils for him.

+ the fact that he has 3x the wage Campa has, and we are filled with forwards, so...

 

[Hasan]

Noone said anything about 15 milions. For free and 4 - 4.5 mil. salarie tops I would do a deal, any other option is not aceptable for us at the moment.

 

[Pajo]

The Nerazzurri can dream in the case that the Russians decide to release him at no cost. But this is not what people in Russia believe. The club of Kerimov has set an asking price of 15 million euros for the sale of Samuel Eto’o.

I wouldn't want him even for free tho, for the other reasons posted above.

Even if Eto'o were available for free, you forgot the only comparison that matters:

Campagnaro: Gross wage is 3m per year

Eto'o: Gross wage is 23m per year (that is, if he is ready for a big pay cut as the media suggests).

Need I say anymore? Coz if we are talking about a 2 year deal, then from a financial point of view, its either Eto'o or Campagnaro+Nainggolan+Taider+Isla

 

[Pajo]

I'd also add, he is FORMER world class. Not anymore.

That's overreacting ...

If Campa's salarie is 1.5 mil net (even I am mo0re sure it is 2 milions), that's 3 mil. gross? 2 years = 6 mil.

Eto'o for 4 milions is 8 mil. gross, two years is 16 milions.

It's too much, true. But when I imagine that Chivu will cost us 6 milions, Cambiasso 9 and Milito 11 only for this season ...

I hadn't heard any rumors of a free transfer, but I suppose we have to at least consider that if it's available and Sammy really pushes for a return to Inter.

Nevertheless, the wage issue remains a huge concern. The [implied] logic of, "well, we're already pissing away millions of Euros on players x, y, & z so what's another 20+ Million?" is not the way forward, IMO.

Bottom line: I'd much rather see that kind of money invested in younger players at other positions (WB, DMF). Belfodil and Icardi are enough reinforcements of the FW positions for one mercado.

 

[thatdude]

This is similar to the Cassano transfer and here's why. It's a "no brainer" since he's a proven quality player who would want to play for Inter. However we already have Coutinho or in this case Belfodil and Icardi who are young guys ready to make the breakthrough. Eto'o will not sit and someone will have to suffer for his inclusion. Meaning someone will be sold to Liverpool in January.

There's no quick fix guys. Not even Eto'o especially at 32.

 

[n4l]

cut operation table players contract (milito + chivu) = more than enough for eto'o

Alternatively, cut those players and invest the money in younger guys in positions of greater need.

If Eto'o is available of 8m gross, it may be possible. But I think you are living in a dreamland. Eto'o currently earns about 20m NET per year. What reduced salary do you think he will realistically agree to? 4m, no chance. My estimate is that he will end up earning 8-12m net next year in whichever club he goes to. So a 23m gross is not over-reacting, its in line with his market price.

Lets not get distracted by players we clearly cannot afford. I much rather Inter focus on Nainggolan and Isla.

 

[jmaster]

we have a very shit midfield, it's terrible. not sure what the management is thinking honestly, why would we start this season with these fucktards?

If we had Klopp as our coach....sure. But we don't

I don't understand this logic, just because you have wasted money on useless things, does not mean you can keep wasting money.
