we are buying Silas Andersen from Copenhagen U-19 team. Anyone knows him?

He’ll follow the career path of Darian Males: bought for €4m, loaned out to a shit club, never play a minute then get sold to another shit club for a loss.

 

[Bluenine]

So far we have:

- Inzaghi for Conte
- Hakan for Eriksen

Once we add:
- Vice-Darmian for Hakimi
- Kolarov for Kolarov

...then it starts looking dreadful. I am lowering my expectations and gearing up for a tough top 4 fight this season.

 

[crzdcolombian]

How much have we spent on contract terminations?

7 to conte
1 to Ninja
?? To Joao?

then the unforgivable
Kolvarov contract extension

annoying but we need bench
Rano, D’Am contract extensions

god at this point hope we don’t give Vidal and Sanchez golden handshakes we will waste all of the Hakimi profit on these bullshit get the fk out deals

 

[ADRossi]

Once again, this is not how the accounting works. Stop freaking out over nothing. Mario and Nainggolan have cost us maybe 4M in incremental expense this year. If the reports about Mario's agent forgiving amounts we owed him is true, this number is closer to 1M.

Paying Conte to quit is still the dumbest decision that has been made this summer.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Joao Mario had around 7m€ book value left. We terminated the contract, so the same effect applies to our balance sheet if we just kept him. Initial plan was to sell him for 7-7.5m€ to cover that amortization cost but it didn't happen so it's -7m€ to this year. We save around 6m€ in salary costs. We don't have to pay 6m€ in salaries, but we still need to cover that -7m€ in the balance sheet.

As for Nainggolan, his book value is close to 10m€. If we terminate his contract, that's -10m€ to this year's books. His salary cost was close to 10m€ also, so if we pay him 1m€ (or 2m€ I don't know was the golden handshake rumored net or gross), we save 8-9m€ in salary costs. Same here, no other salary costs than the severance pay but we still need to cover that ~ -10m€ in the balance sheet.

Then the JM agent forgiving 4m€ of unpaid fees to him, that's "liability" wiped out from our balance sheet. It's all the same money coming to Inter or going from Inter so it's okay.

Correct the errors, please!

Pedulla reports we try to book Raspadori for the season 22/23 but we need to get rid of Pinamonti first.

 

[thatdude]

Sounds like we are lining up our Lautaro replacement, which is the smart thing to do. Hopefully we agree on a price now because I have a feeling he will have a breakthrough season.

 

[Il Drago]

Pedulla reports we try to book Raspadori for the season 22/23 but we need to get rid of Pinamonti first.

Unless Pinamonti goes to Sassuolo as a counterpart i can't see how these two are correlated. How does selling Pinamonti now help booking Raspadori for 2022/23?

 

[CafeCordoba]

Pinamonti has a heavy salary so that needs to be removed from our budget if we are to commit to a new striker. Booking Raspadori means we are committed to sign him so we need be sure Pinamonti won't be here anymore.

Of course no mercato talk is definite like we all know but that's the base of the logic.

Some forward department thoughts:

So we're interested in Keita Balde. I actually like it and he might be a good Lukaku backup. He's fast and he's physical so he can MAYBE be a poor man's target striker. Also maybe Inzaghi goes with a more vertical game which uses Lukaku's forward runs and then Keita as the backup can replicate that same.

And it seems we really need to buy him as he's at the last year of his contract and he's totally out of the plans of Monaco so maybe we can buy him for cheap. If we can indeed sell Pinamonti, we can then book Raspadori for the next summer. We try to get rid of Sanchez next summer if Lautaro stays and go with Lukaku-Lautaro-Keita-Raspadori. If Lautaro goes, we go with Lukaku-Sanchez-Keita-Raspadori? Neither of those sound bad unless Sanchez injuries takes too much toll of his impact.

 

[cuba gooding]

I like Balde. He is talented and physical guy. He seems also love our club. Given the risk we have with the injury of Sanchez, its really a great deal if we can get Keita for cheap. I believe he can be better than Sanchez

If Keita can regain his Lazio form, an attack consisted of Lukaku, Lautaro, Keita and Raspadori could work. But the version of Lukaku-Sanchez-Keita-Raspadori looks too risky for my liking. I don't trust Sanchez as a starter. He's injury prone and he's going to be 34 years old in 2022/23 so his injury issues could become even worse. I also doubt that even the best version of Keita is good enough to start for a side that aims for the Scudetto. Raspadori would have to make a huge step in 2021/22 to be considered good enough to start for Inter in a year from now.

 

[Candreva Crosses]

I thought the only way we get Keita is if we get rid of Sanchez?

 

[brakbrak]

Honestly I've made peace with the fact that we couldn't sell Lukaku thus selling Hakimi and won't be able to reinforce the squad too much. So I dont mind deals like Keita as long as it's relatively low salary and loan+option to buy(given that he extends with Monaco as this is his last year of contract). As many posters here have said that he obviously has the skills and physicality so hopefully working with Simone again can help regain his form.

To be fair a team that competed and won the scudetto this year did it with Pinamonti as the 4th striker so either of those options above are an upgrade.

Alrighty, we’re barely 2 weeks into the transfer market but here’s my two (relatively optimistic) cents -

- Keita Balde (4/5m), Telles (Loan), Nandez (whatever fuckery Ausilio comes up with), Dumfries (15m) IN

- Perisic (5m), Nainggolan (handshake), Dalbert (loan), Joao Mario (handshake), Vidal (2/3m), Gagliardini/Vecino (10/15m), Pinamonti (Loan) OUT

Would make for a transfer season that lets us remain competitive for the scudetto, even if we definitely lose 10 points or so just by default. Securing people like Raspadori and Onana for next season is a must.

 

[brehme1989]

The biggest thing we can have going is getting rid of the deadwood. Hopefully we don't replace it. Too bad we cannot use the momentum from Scudetto, taking out the trash and CL money into moving to the next level, but hopefully we don't make a big mess out of everything.

This looks pretty good to me. My only nit is
Vidal is not worth anything so he'll leave on a golden handshake.

He also said there are no discussions with Cagliari for Nandez and that Dimarco is the present and future of Inter.
