Zanetti should be our long term solution for the LB position.

He has a son? Is he in our youth team? Look Zanetti is 38.... he could be the father of some of the guys on our youth team. It sucks he isn't more indisciplined when it comes to the ladies. Imagine if he had like 11 sons :) we'd sign them all

Cheap relative to what he would have been available for at any point in the last 4 years. Its a relative statement.

Getting Zanetti out of midfield is definitely an area for improvement in our squad.

This is something I agree completely with you. Zanetti should be used in other positions but in the midfield. In modern football, that Cambiasso-Zanetti duo simply does not work. I hope and want to believe that Inter management is really looking into this, that they are looking for midfielders long-term who can first replace Zanetti there and then eventually Cambiasso. These two + Stankovic will be here for some time, but I want to believe they will be in lesser roles, specially Deki who is ridiculously injury-prone these days.

So Zanetti to LB or RB-backup, Cambiasso stays in midfield as long as we get a good replacement for him and Stankovic to the bench/mentor role. That's 1-2 midfielders in time of one year IMO, and one additional in longer time (2-3 years). This extra guy would be the ultimate replacement of Cambiasso, of course he would be adapted to the team slowly since I don't see us getting some ready-made starter for us (expensive).

Best would be if Poli could fill any of those mid spots required to be filled.

#INTER BALLS
10 years of FIF
First we need a project, thath includes: Coach -> A long term coach, who has that kind of tactic, that suits to our players and have balance -> 4-3-1-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2. Is it Ranieri or some body else i don`t know, but we dont need another Gasperinis whit 3 men defence, thats for sure!

I think we have very good squad and whith couple of new QUALITY players we would be contenders for a title in couple of years or maybe even next year. Now we just have to survive in CL what ever it takes -> to keep our best players like Sneijder and get the money for new transfers. We have to get rid of some players -> like Cordoba, Chivu, Stankovic, Muntari and Milito to make room for couple of new players.

That leaves us Def -> J.Z, Lucio, Samuel, Maicon, Caldirola, Ranocchia, Faraoni, Jonathan, Nagatomo and maybe Juan Jesus. J.Z, Lucio, Samuel will be out in 1 or 2 years time and Maicon perhaps in 2-3 years. I think a new CB is needed cause Lucio and Samuel are aging and Ranocchia isn´t that convincing. For CB i think our sight should be Alex(Chelsea), Ogbonna or Verthogen. Verthogen would be dream, but price will go up cause Arsenal, Bayern and meny other team are after him. But i think Alex would be good option for us cause he is very good CB and cheap! Ogbonna is very interesting young lad who has lots of potential to come real deal in future.

Mid -> Motta, Cambiasso, Alvarez, Obi, Sneijder, Coutinho, Kucka. I see that Cambiasso can play at highest level max 2 years and Kucka will come next summer or even in january. What we lack in midfield is creativity and players who move without a ball, cause everytime i watch our midfielders, only ones who do it is Sneijder, Coutinho, Motta and Alvarez. And what i mean movement is player to move right time and right place without a ball so a team mate can pass the ball back to him. In modern football you don`t just pass the ball and stay put, just like when i watch Stankovic, Cambiasso, J.Z or Muntari they dont have that kind of vision to move in field. Obi runs a lot but he run often in wrong time or place. Don´t have seen any of Kuckas games so idont comment that. Barca plays modern football and of course every Inter fan dreams of Inter playing in same way like Barca. When i watch Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi.. movement in field constantly searching a position, so that team mate can pass the ball to him and then search a new position again, my heart melts!

So we need new "box to box" midfielder who has vision to move without ball and have ability to pass and create something with the ball. I rate those kind of players to be and who we afford -> Montolivo free, Guarin don´t know how much maybe 15-20m, Banega 15-20m, Khedira is also very good player passing, defending and position and i think he will be movin next summer price? One of those palyers would be good start, but if we could get two it would be a dream. I see our midfield next season like this.

---------Sneijder-------- or with two -------------Sneijder--------------
---Motta--------Montolivo/Guarin/Banega/Khedira ----Banega---Motta---Montolivo----


Att -> Pazzini, Forlan, Castaignos and maybe Zarate 15m for next season. Forlan can play at highest level maybe 1-2 years. If we get two players in midfield, i think Zarate would be enought for us -> Pazzini, Forlan, Zarate, Castaignos. I think we should try to get Milito or Muntari in to deal to lower the price somewhere 10m. If we do not buy Zarate our target should be someone like Podolski or G.Rossi a player who can play in wing and forward. But in that case i´m afraid that will be out some where else like midfield!

So my hopes for next season would be something like this

att->Pazzini, Forlan, Castaignos, one of Zarate/Podolski/G.Rossi

mid->Sneijder, Coutinho, Alvarez, Motta, Cambiasso, Kucka, Obi, one or two of Montolivo/Guarin/Banega/Khedira

def->Lucio, Samuel, Ranocchia, Caldirola, Maicon, J.Z, Nagatomo, Jonathan, Faraoni, Juan, one of Alex/Verthogen/Ogbonna

gk->J.C, Castellazzi, Viviano

I'd like to hear some rumors about CSKA's Honda, Dzagoev, Doumbia or Vagner Love. I think all of them will be starters in our team(maybe Doumbia won't)

What? :lol:

Doumbia is like Eto, runs much, has great finishing and decent technique. Is also fast as hell.

Love is nowhere near Doubias quality, in every aspect...

Maybe you're right. I saw him only 2 or 3 times. Would be great if we sign at least one of them.

We definitely could use a player like Doumbia who's wily and unpredictable. Someone who can create a chance and take it. Not to mention he's athletic, from the Ivory Coast (probably best country for african talent), and already has a great strike rate in a top level competition. Our team could use a few athletes, we've got smart and technical players with 0 athleticism.

Are 30mils for Doumbia only some estimate-guestimate? Other than him, Demba Ba is not bad either.

Ba has really impressed the last couple years, him and Gomis and Remy will all be top strikers the next couple years. But Ba moved only recently, so thats unlikely. Doumbia is the youngest of the 4, but he looks like he is about 38! :)

Any way, I want to see us resolve our issues in defence and midfield, then we can figure out who replaces Forlan and Milito over the next 12 months. Hopefully Castaignos continues his development, and Pazzo gets back to goalscoring form, otherwise we will need a striker in January for sure.

Regardless we need another striker for January, maybe two. We have 1 striker as I only count Pazzo and he isn't even in good form. We have a useless Milito, a promising youngster who won't get playing time in Castaignos, Forlan is old and will probably be useless. Who else do we have?

Even if Forlan comes and is in godmode we have two strikers at best. How do we not need strikers on this team?

Has Inter ever heard of getting guys on loan? Juve, AC Milan do it..... WTF don't we. I am not a fan of Tevez but we need someone in January and hopefully his name is not Drogba. Guy is good better than all our strikers combined but at 33, no fing thank you

I really don't know about the signings you're suggesting but I really think it is a nice overview on what and whom we need to change, sp our issue in the midfield.

Only two things I'd change:
- We don't need Jonathan: we have Maicon, Zanetti, Nagatomo and Faraoni. At this moment we really have few opportunities for Jonathan to play so he'll not improve, we still pay his wages and he's not getting any younger (I think he's 25), so sell him (maybe 4-5 mill) and buy someone younger (20 or so)

- We don't want Zarate: he's not good enough. And he's selfish. We can get someone better for 15 mill.

I'm sure your post has some valid points, however i stopped reading after "A long term coach...."

Simply because it is rare as hens teeth in Italy let alone Inter :troll: :)
