We are still as team slow as fuck, Lukaku is not enough, we should try to get Kostić definitely, Gosens alone is not enough. We need more fast players upfront.


Yeah I know, but one thing we don’t have is money and Dumfries is likely to be sold of our wingbacks? Bellanova, Darmian, Lazaro play on right. We can’t sell Gosens as he is only natural LWB. Darmian and Lazaro are worthles (Money vice).

Gosens apparently suffered a soft tissue injury. Darmian as much as he is serviceable I wouldnt want him to be that 2nd choice. I really hope Udogie is bought as a response to this bullshit mercato. And he would be perfect, young, fast and added depth.

Bunch of idiots are running this club
I don't get why people are so salty about Dybala? He is very good player, but is injury prone, and cannot carry the team by himself. I'd get Lukaku ahead of him, every day of the week now days. Even in the few friendlies so far, it's visible that the cohesion between LaLu is still there. I could be wrong of course, but let wait half of the season to be gone at least, before to make some general conclusions.

People are salty because the player badly wanted to join, he could have come in good financial terms and he could be a quality option from the bench who would bring something we badly lack, creativity. The problem isn't LuLa but Correa instead of Dybala.

Alexis refused all destinations and 4 mln golden handshake. Dzeko rejected jube, I think there were zero concrete offers for Correa. How to open a room for Dybala in that case?

These were the results of past mistakes. Giving a 3-year contract to 31-year old Sanchez. Giving a 2-year contract to 35-year old Dzeko. Making a big investment on Correa not because you believe in him but because you need to sign someone.

Also our attack feels complete but we could be left only with Lautaro, who could be our next big sale, and Correa in a year from now. There's a verbal agreement to extend Lukaku's loan but there's no guarantee both parties will honor the agreement. Sanchez will eventually get his golden handshake as coach doesn't rate him and he's 5th option now. Dzeko has an expiring contract. So our attack could look much different in a year from now and you don't have the chance to sign a forward with Dybala's quality on a free every summer.

Aside from Lukaku and Lautaro being good friends I don't see them working together on some high level. It's a good partnership, but not a spectacular one imo. I'll gladly eat my words though if Lautaro isn't just going run his ass off making room for Lukaku while losing other opportunties. We saw last season he can do more.

But that's pretty far fetched blame game when we talk about people being salty over us not signing Dybala.

Management is doing decisions now based on current situation. Did they know back then Dybala would be available for free? Definitely did not and many other, including Juve didn't know that either.

Still, though, the past mistakes were obvious at the time. I said at the time that Sanchez on 3 years was a mistake - albeit it was the only way we could spread his wages enough for him to come to Inter. Dzeko on 2 years was an obvious mistake too - but again, we probably couldnt have signed him on any less. I was not a fan of Correa and I think that's been proven to be the right decision too.

I'm glad we're starting to do (e.g. Mkhi) agreements where we have the right to terminate if they dont play enough games/etc after a season.

Yeah, those veteran signings come with caveats. Probably management knows caveats and accepts them so it is what it is. Sanchez has been after all an important player for Inter in the past 3 years but now it's just over as the coach doesn't like him. Dzeko was crucial for putting Inter to the Scudetto battle and while he was MIA later, again, it is what it is.

Correa was indeed the big mistake in my books too. Lotito did a great deal.

Dybala is not just good asset on pitch but also out of pitch, guy is football superstar, over 48 mil followers on instagram(Inter has 8,5 mil) , his jersey are selling fast and crazy, he can bring profit to club even if he is not delivering on pitch. To ditch a guy like that who was free at market, who is 28,plus he is fantastic player and we lack player who is creative as him, cant believe people think it doesnt matter. Whats the worst we lost this deal to friggin Roma.

Why would he choose Inter at that time?

Don't have one.
Correa was a big mistake, but it's also fair to point out he was basically our last option, we would have gotten thuram if he wasn't a dumbass and injured himself.

I'll gladly eat my words though if Lautaro isn't just going run his ass off making room for Lukaku while losing other opportunties. We saw last season he can do more.
Agree with this, and I was saying it even when we won scuddeto, those two as it stands right now will never be world-class players, they have serious flaws for that to happen, and also their cooperation is kinda overrated as well imo. But I tend to put things into perspective, and I know for a fact their partnership is the absolute best we can afford right now given our finances. Hell, it was the best thing we could afford four years ago, let alone now.
