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

[ADRossi]

Chivu was garbage after his head injury, he ruined our season after the treble all by himself, the Schalke trashing and the derby were all on him, it's was also why Zanetti played as LB in the biggest matches.

I hate to be that guy, but Zanetti played LB because later-years Zanetti (2011+) was useless in the midfield.

 

[Dylan]

Zanetti was the most insanely reliable defensive fullback and Chivu was iffy at best after his injury so it's not much of an insult to say he couldn't force Cambiasso-Motta out of midfield when he was an essential part of the defence.

 

[Devious]

Zanetti useless? Learn to be diplomatic like Dylan, cunt.

we increased cost of our team by 43 mil.
well thats the price of free agents with high salary

- € 71.080.000
+ € 27.520.885
-----------------------------
- € 43.559.115

IN

OUT

I dont get why havnt we sold Eder for more? Valencia was reportedly wanting him for 11-12m which would be an average for his market value, why have we sold him to our second team in China for half of his market value?

We could have taking advantage and money laund... I mean transfered him for say 15-18m or something.

Because we are the second team of Jiangsu Suning.

Because we are the second team of Jiangsu Suning.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

If they want us to develop talents for them, then they gotta put in more money for us to acquire the talents, otherwise we are just preparing subgrade talents for the Chinese Super League.

And that is an insult to our investors.

Nice.

That about rehabiliteted reputation is not true.Most of the people people who support this NT dont support Modrić and his actions.

But very good explanation of everything.

How close were you to signing Modric?

Ausilio:“Who?”

 

[IRR26]

What happened is that Inter signed too many new players and it will take time to tick. De Vrij, Asamoah (and Nainggolan injured) might perform right away but for Vrsaljko, Martinez and Balde it will take time. As for Politano I am not sure yet how he will do, he is still question mark for me.

Big mistake was not to replace Rafinha who undoubtedly was the key element that made possible getting that CL spot. I look at Inter's midfielder list and I cannot understand how Spalletti didn't improve it and instead wanted more wingers.

 

[Sassuolu]

Zanetti was fantastic in his midfield role because he covered for Maicon when he went on his runs, something I hoped Asamoah could do for Dalbert (since he had a decent preseason) but I'm done with Dalbert after 2 games.

 

[Universe]

In that specific role yes, but on the whole, he left much to be desired. We all love Zanetti but he was not a great midfielder.

Zanetti was what Vecino should ideally be - an un-spectacular but solid and consistent midfielder who gets the absolute maximum out of his physical traits to partially make up for his lack of technical skills. At this point, Vecino can only dream of being reaching half of Zanetti's level. I do believe Zanetti was as solid a 'backup' midfielder as one could possibly be. The problem was, he was played far too often to be considered a backup.

It is one of the biggest mysteries and regrets in my time supporting this club that Zanetti was misused for so long in midfield when he would have been an ideal permanent LB solution. Zanetti's range of passing and forward passing was always pretty average, as was his ability to contribute to attacking, possession play in midfield. He excelled at dribbling and running with the ball as far as attacking goes and it was clearly visible he felt most comfortable in wide areas of the pitch, not central.

He lost his RB spot after Maicon came, that's fair considering Maicon was a devastating attacking fullback and it was simply impossible to not play him. But as good as Zanetti was at covering for Maicon, let's be honest - that's a side-duty that Stankovic or someone else could have done, not a priority and a role worth dedicating an entire player to. If we'd bought some better midfielders, we wouldn't have needed to "spend" Zanetti in midfield. Having a midfielder in Mancini's fucked system who was defensively strong but contributed to little in offense was a big part of the reason we were so tedious from 2004-09 and disappointing in Europe, but having 3? Jesus Christ. Think of how much more effective we could have been if we had Zanetti at LB instead of fucking Favalli, Grosso or Nagatomo and had a better-balanced, better-assembled midfield instead of playing Vieira, Dacourt, Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic all at once.

Considering the ludicrous issues we've had at LB over the years, I really think Zanetti was overall, by far our most solid LB on average, barring some patches from Nagatomo, Maxwell and Chivu. Makes me sad and angry to remember we wasted an LB of Zanetti's quality doing supervision work in midfield while blowing millions and rotating through countless crap LB's, something we're still currently doing.

 

[Alex de Large]

Actually i remember the best lineup was with Zanetti on LB. Cambiasso and Stankovic in midfield. Stankovic or Motta.

Definitely Motta

Just read on Twitter that Perez said, while in Montecarlo, that we tried to get Modric without paying him? What?

I don't mean it as a joke, but this dude probably has dementia or Alzheimer's.

AUSILIO RAUS

Random question:

We have all these players on loan with an option to buy. Our options presumably expire on June 30th. Our fiscal year for the purposes of the SA ends on the 30th. What's the logic on acquiring all of these players on loan if we need to choose whether or not to redeem them in the same fiscal year we acquire them?

I dont know how FFP works specifically but let's assume it's similar to accounting in general. Matching principle, costs are recorded during the period in which they are incurred, amortization will be recorded as next year's expenses regardless of when we activate the clauses, for this year's expenses, we already paid loan fees. Timing of selling players does matter tho as capital gains/losses are usually recorded when they happen.

 

[Balor]

If I were to hazard a guess on that, I would say you activate the clause and make all the agreements in advance of the 30th deadline. Then finalise and put the registration paperwork through on the 1st and the wheel of loans starts turning again.

Hazard? In the transfer thread?

Eden Hazard to Inter confirmed!
