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

[Il Drago]

And probably another center back

I didn't include another cb as everyone claims we are signing that German kid. And i think that's the reason we don't trigger Bellanova option.

 

[CoolMan44]

Seems that it will be difficult to get any deal done given we cannot offer even a euro until we sell someone.

I really wonder what happens in the forward department. We essentially need 3 forwards - we're only linked to Lukaku and Chelsea seems to want a better deal than last season while we want a smaller fee.

I have a bad feeling we will still see Correa here next season.

 

[Ethor]

Gosens and Correa appear to love riding the pine and spending money in Milan, so they probably won't leave. Gosens, I can tolerate, Correa, not so much..

 

[IM21]

more money incoming boys

 

[IM21]

All i know is, that our management is complete trash.
Lost Skriniar, Perisic for nothing. Payed Alexis, Vidal and Conte to fuck off. Bought Correa. Didnt sign Dybala cause of a Lukaku loan that costs way too much. Lost on Bremer. They would have gladly sold Bastoni last year and probably Barella this year, if the players didnt say no. They are shopping Onana and asking teams to please give us money. Would accept 20M for Brozovic. Were ready to give Dzeko 5M, etc.... good luck bringing in 5 players that you need with these retards on board. But at least you will get your dinners and tickets to London, so that they can laugh in your face... oh and its not just the transfer guys that are trash. That retard Antonello should have been fired ages ago.... slow ass team on the field and off the field. Pathetic.

We got to the champions league final…… and didn’t get rocked by the team who was destroying every team anally all year.

Our team is good and we pretty much just need to replace Lukaku the rest of our starters are still here

Skriniar hurts mostly because that is 50m for a stronger bench but we played much better without him.

Tottenham also reached the finals.

We need a Skriniar replacement, Dambrosio replacement, Bastoni's backup, probably Bellanova replacement, Gagliardini replacement, Lukaku replacement, Dzeko replacement, Handanovic replacement and Cordaz replacement.... i am sorry, but thats not just 1 player and with zero money good luck to these slow fucks.

Skriniar was replaced

Everyone else promoted youth players then buy/loan a starting striker

The coach didn’t really have any of our bench in his plans he just didn’t have anything else

panicking because we don’t have a Gags replacement is kind of hilarious actuallty

I am just hoping none of those people you mentioned resign with us at the last minute

 

[CoolMan44]

Really curious how they approach this mercato. In ways, it's more difficult that the last one. Last time around we got two free agents in Onana/Mkhitaryan which were very helpful. It doesn't seem like we are close to any free agents this time around, since Nacho extended his contract. In addition, we are losing Skriniar and need to replace him.

It's not an easy job at all with the amount of players out of contract and the fact we cannot buy any player without selling. If the Frattesi/SMS boat is gone, no way can we sell Brozovic (even with one of them coming in I wouldn't have been keen on selling Brozo). If we cannot get either, losing Brozo would be a disaster. It would actually make the one area (midfield) we are comfortable in a huge problem, with no one to blame but ourselves.

We do need to invest in a defender and forwards, but seems that we need to sell someone to make that happen. I guess the management's first choice was Onana, but it looks like Vicario is now going to Tottenham so our backup option there is gone. It also doesn't seem anyone will offer what Onana is worth to us. I'm glad about him staying though.

However, I struggle to see where we get the money. I guess best option is Gosens. As much as I like him, it may be a necessary sale given we wouldn't lose too much (provided we can get Augusto for a cheaper deal), and we need to invest.

 

[Abu Bader]

GK: Onana, Handa (lower salary), Cordaz

DF: Bastoni, Acerbi, Darmian, De Vrij ( lower salary), xxx, xxx

WB: Dimarco, Gosens, Dumfries, Lazaro

MF: Brozo, Hakan, Barella, Mkhi, Asllani, xxx

FW: Lautaro, Correa, xxx, xxx

We're missing 5 players to complete the squad. Obviously in ideal world you'd get rid of the deadwood, but I don't think that getting rid of all of them in one summer is the way to go.

Tottenham have money, we don't have. Stop balming the management, and start blaming the owner, who has the main fault here. He sold Lukaku at the last moment, and then blocked the most of the received money, so Marotta was with very limited options. He blocked Skriniar's sale, and we lost Bremer because of it. Now, again he doesn't give money to close Frattesi, but first is waiting for the sales. It's almost impossible to work well in that environment. I don't know what the management did wrong? They arranged the deal early, but it wasn't possible to complete it without any money. As you can see, the other clubs are lowballing us with shitty offers, because they know that we want desperate to sell.

Blocking Skriniar because he's worried he would get more threat from ultras so he just let him for free therefore Skriniar will get the heat. Now blocking (or delay) sale for Onana, Barella, Brozo because of the same reason.

 

[Glass box]

Yeah, he won't cash in on players cause he's too afraid of ultras so he'll continue to bleed money.

 

[wera]

Tottenham also reached the finals.

This I'll never understand, they are laughed at because they get close to winning, but never manage to get over the hump.. not that they are a bad team overall. They might be the worst team that made the CL finals in the last 15 years, but what I get from this example is that it's always possible to reach the CL final. They are also financially a more healthy club than Inter, but ofc luckily for them, they aren't a Serie A club.

Everything else, I agree. Our management has been fucking up. Us reaching the CL final shows that we have the potential to be something more....and also that if we made better moves, maybe that would've happened earlier.

 

[varmin]

I understand the idea of chasing Frattesi, but Marotta needs to embrace the reality now. For me, we have to get Becao and Pereyra for free, sell Onana, Correa and Gosens, and bring Perisic for free as well. Then we can get Mazzocchi as a back up for Dumfries, and for the left too, because he can play on both sides. After that, we need to reinforce the attack, and get a goalkeeper with the money left. I wont mind getting Icardi back, Retegui and Firmino.
That squad won't be a world beater, but it can finish in top 4 and past over the groups in CL.

Sell Onana and replace with whom? Vicario already is sold elsewhere.

Correa won't be sold, he doesn't want to leave.

Perisic wouldn't come for free.

 

[Darth_Ausilio]

Correa won't be sold, he doesn't want to leave.

Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate him.

 

[varmin]

I guess Vicario is not the only goalie in the world, who can replace Onana

Correa won't be sold, he doesn't want to leave.

Then freeze him out.

Perisic wouldn't come for free.

Why? I think he had one year deal with Tottenham.

 

[Il Drago]

I agree Beppe needs to become realistic.

I get he doesn't want to change the winning formula of signing young talented Serie A players and quality experienced free signings but you can't do it anymore. He needs to adjust his policy.

You can't sign Frattesi for 35m. You simply don't have the funds. You can't expect to sign Koulibaly, who's on massive wages, on loan or spend so much for ONE season of Lukaku when you need to lower wage bill. It isn't financially viable. You need to go for alternatives even if it means going for lesser players. Go for Pereyra. Go for Thuram. Go for Firmino. Go for Demiral. Go for Becao. Go for Adama Traore. These are the kind of players we can sign. That's the reality.

 

[.h.]

Thuram at 9m/yr amortisation is not a zero cost... and thats ignoring agent fees
