I'm really not sure about Kluivert coming here, have a natural distaste for Riola players and from what Ajax fans have said he isn't quite a finished product and has quite an attitude.

IMO.....do whatever it takes to get Mahrez. He was extremely close to Roma last season so I’m sure it’s not impossible. This guy is the real deal

It is said that our immediate priorities are RB, MC and AMC, with the RB and AMC primary targets being Cancelo and Rafinha of course. I'm guessing Torreira or Barella is the other name.

Is anyone thinking about the bench? We have a pretty thin squad, and if we get rid of the Éders and Santons, as we must, it'll become even thinner.

We desperately need depth, and at the same time we need to get someone to replace Candreva at the very least. I'd honestly like to know if Ausilio is thinking of this, or if Suning are ordering him to splash some cash in fancy signings.

I hear Gareth Bale may be available this summer for about €60-80m, as Real are planning a bid for Salah. If true, that should be a no brainer for Inter as a marquee signing, a crack who could improve to another level in attack. I know the injury issues, but with his pace he can do serious damage in Serie A. Plus he comes with tonnes of CL winning experience. Plus all the marketing exposure. That would be such a coup for Inter and Suning.

Plus a good player for Karamoh to learn from.

I doubt Bale comes here and not back to England. But I would support signing him 1000000%. In the very least he’d do more than have 63 successful crosses as (as if that’s some kind of successful statistic) like our current RW.

His salary will be massive. Can't see it happening.

His pace for serieA ? What r u talking about mate?
Bale is the typical player that's useless in italy because most teams park the bus.

Hazard, Bale or Mahrez sound good. All three can be wingers or even play behind Icardi, but I doubt we have 50+ mil to drop one player like that. It will be easier to lure players to Inter now that we have CL, so we could at least try.

But my fav. thing and more sensible (if Cancelo (who can be RW as well), Karamoh, Rafinha and Perišić stay) is to get rid of Candreva and Eder, and bring somebody to bring some competition to Icardi (still don't see Martinez to be Icardi's replacement) - a player like Batshuayi or Timo Werner. Make it a loan if you have to, but I think that is a smart move. We sadly used too much money on wrong players instead of getting Firmino (who is to me like a better version of Palacio) and similar players. Let's not make the same mistake. Invest or at least try to give a chance to a player like those two I mentioned. Somebody show this post to Spalletti, please.

Check the video above point 10 to see how important is Werner for Leipzig.

Bale would be waste of money.

Vidal will only have 1 season in him.
Nainggolan will probably not be available as Roma probably cashed in from CL last season.
Mahrez would be ridiculously expensive.
Players that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern and PSG want to keep are untouchable. The players they don't want to keep aren't worth the money as there's no one who is elevating the club to its proper level.
The EPL teams have crap rotation players and their best players are very expensive and very well compensated. Man Utd has two players and we're not getting either, even with an unlimited budget, especially since Sanchez just moved there.

Once again, all roads lead to Milinkovic-Savic if we want a successful mercato that will drag us back to Inter normality. A midfield general is a must because that's the only position we lack leadership and quality.

The only other acceptable options are Hazard, Bernardo Silva, Sane, Eriksen or Jorginho. Or something similar. Otherwise we're still the same team and we'll have the same problems next season.

Inter didn't park the bus in that game
It's football 101 that fast non technical players are not effective against teams who don't attack and don't leave spaces.

You have some very strong opinions, mate.

I find it a bit funny when Inter fans reject a world class player offhandedly. "Useless in Italy because of parked buses" (@Mino), LOL. Firstly, Serie A defending isn't what it used to be - its distinctly average these days. If this was the 90s, I could have agreed with you. Secondly, Bale has faced parked defences before in EPL and done quite well. We are not talking about Biabiany here, all pace no skill. Bale is like a Karamoh with even more pace, more skill, and far better finish. I reckon he will score 20+ goals if he stays fit - injuries being the only concern I have regarding Bale.

Of course, most likely we can't afford him and he would reject Inter anyway. But if we can get a player like that, its a no brainer for me.
