We definitely need a 4th forward. Lukaku has been in excellent health luckily for us but all it takes is one freak accident.

A little surprised Radu wants to stay as well. Guy had 2 appearances in all competitions last season. Maybe with Handa becoming a bit more error prone, they’re gonna split duties.

Why another left wingback if we have Perisic and Dimarco, someone should be offloaded before getting anyone else.

Beppe Riso, agent of Sensi, Radu and Dimarco, confirmed his clients are staying at Inter while he also hinted Inter are interested in Pessina.

I would prefer Pessina over Nandez for the midfield and getting a proper RWB, but I guess affordability is the real question here.

Pessina was mediocre all season, fortunately got the last minute call up due to Sensi's injury. Played well against Wales after Italy's already qualified, and was never given anything more than a back up role.

Now people think he's some kind of quality. International hype is real. Should we swap Barella for Pessina too while we're at it?

I mean I didn’t follow him much personally but the impression I get is that he had a pretty good season given the expectations. He was also good in the previous serie a campaign.

Remember the Atalanta game in May? When the probable line up came out and they had Pessina in the line up. People here were thoroughly unimpressed and the only expectation was Pessina would mark Brozovic high up and literally nothing more?

Pessina was good for Atalanta too, not just Italy.

The issue with Pessina is Milan has 50% sell-on clause. So Atalanta has zero incentives to sell him.

I don't know how reliable it is but i have read Milan's sell-on clause expires the moment Pessina reaches 100 appearnces with Atalanta. So far he has 59 appearances.

Yeah forgot that, I have read that same thing too. So it has to be true.

Considering that, they can sell him only after reaching 100 caps.

Is there a site where one can check whether a player has an EU passport? I was looking at our lists for next season's CL and, unless, I'm missing something, we have five players (Kolarov, Lautaro, Sanchez, Vecino, Vidal, and we'll have 6 if we get Nandez) from a non-EU country, which is above the limit of 3 set by Serie A.



Edit: According to transfermarkt, Vecino and Nandez have Italian citizenship; that would still leave us with one player more than allowed.

Kolarov wage is 1.5m, it was halved from last season. Also AFAIK CL list doesn't discriminate based on passports. But Serie A has some rule but I think it's more about incoming and outgoing non-EU players to the country.

How the fuck would Kolarov be non-EU player? Cunt has been playing in Italy/England for 15 years.

Not sure what the Barcelona situation is like, but if we sell Lukaku we should slightly raid them in the typical Inter fashion.

Coutinho, loan + option (not a huge fan of his but if we go 3-5-1-1 under Inzaghi I think he will find his role)
Emerson Royal, loan + option (I'm a bit of a fan here)

Would have liked Trincao as well but he's gone to freaking Wolves.

They need to offload 100m + Messi's new deal in order to get shit going..

I'm pretty sure Griezmann will be available but wouldn't be worth it. Watch us overpay for Dembele though.

Well I would take Griezmann for 2 year loan with half of his salary and help Barca like Cagliari is helping us with Radja ;)

Hey, watch your mouth there.


Anyways, don't get too hyped, we should stay far away from Barcelona players since their wages would be a bit too high.

They will end up having to subsidize a large part of their loaned players' wage ala. Sanchez.

They are rumoring Marotta demanded Zhang that we need to invest if Lukaku is sold. Two strikers and a winger. And Zhang accepted that.

Hopefully it doesn't mean the budget for those is 50m€.
