Yeah, I just like some kind of evidence. A supposed inside source which links us to 8 players, none of which we ever signed, doesnt really seem very credible to me....



But its okay, we all know about deus ex brehme
Care to mention one thing I've said regarding our actual transfer activity that was proven false? You keep repeating this, yet you're nowhere to be seen when I say that Gosens deserves a transfer thread because it's happening, nowhere to be seen when I said the same about Eriksen, including the actual transfer figure, nowhere when I said that Bremer, Scamacca and Frattesi are our main targets and now it's accepted by everyone as the norm, when I said that Modric was only going to arrive if Real Madrid would accept our shitty offer (which initially they hadn't dismissed due to this "promise"), when I said that Caicedo is likely going to arrive before he was even mentioned by the media....

Why exactly are you fighting this? If you had documented evidence, which you preach yet don't walk the walk, about me being wrong so often, where is it?

Oh no, dont get me wrong, alot of your predictions are like Nostradamus. You caveat the crap out of them, so there's always a get out of jail free card.

For example, there was never an actual prediction about Tonali coming to Inter, just that he was going to until Milan jumped in or something (dont remember the exact). Same with Arnault/Milan. Another caveated prediction where you can 'speak from authority' while not actually making any useful prediction or statement that can be fact checked.

I actually appreciate the careful wording you deliberately put around it so it never can be hard qualified in or out. It's no different to Kellosamuel.

What "predictions" are you talking about dude?

I didn't "predict" that Tonali was coming, I only mentioned that we were onto him and talks were advanced. The deal was done until we stalled. That allowed room for Milan to intervene. The same thing happened with Vidal back in 2018. He even had a medical with us!
When I share information that may be useful I don't "predict", I only articulate them in a way that allows the reader to understand that this is the club's intention and not my own opinion. Something you obviously cannot distinguish.

As for Milan, it has been reported (Il sole 24 ore & Calcio e Finanza) that Arnault made an offer to buy the club and you wanted to shift this into "his company is not buying a football club" as if it was ever a question. He made an offer, it was rejected, world moves on. Try it...

@.h., players getting linked to a club and then not getting signed by that club does NOT mean that said club wasn't interest. That's IMO the BIGGEST argumentation mistake when talking about transfer rumors. Clubs get linked to a tons of players. Not all can be then transferred to those clubs.

Generally, why are you so upset about @brehme1989's transfer market stuff?

I find the deus ex brehme infuriating. Ill give him credit, he's reduced it (or maybe I reduce the list of threads I browse) lately, but when in discussion, pulling made up facts out of one's arse doesnt help anyone :D It's also not just about the transfer market, but e.g. claiming inside knowledge in the meetings between Conte andour management :D

Of course that is true, too, but when no one in a list of Inter's supposed targets sign for us, that makes me doubt the credence of the source that claims to know what our list of potential targets are ;-)

That's simply not how you should look the calciomercato rumor world. Clubs target tens and tens players every year. Doesn't mean they sign even 10% of those.

Carnevalli said 65m aren't enough for Scamacca and Frattesi and it's more likely they will be sold abroad than in Italy.

Eh, the players will want to stay in Italy. If we have money to spend we'll get it done.

I think he was just commenting that 65mil might not even be enough for them, offhand to a reporter, which take it for what you will. Also commenting it depends on how the valuations are done. He says inter have been interested as well as outside clubs and it’s more likely there will be more offers from abroad because of the economic situation in Italy. And no concrete offers as of now.

65 million aren't enough for Scamacca and Frattesi, right? This is more absurd than Russian invasion. Carnevalli can suck himself!

Yeah I had a feeling a rumour like that would pop up eventually. I always doubted we would be able to afford both.

its time to explore RPL-UPL market. Many foreign player do exodus themselves from those country. Yuri Alberto, Krychowiak, David Neres etc some name could useful for us with low-decent fee.

Wonder why we have shown no interest in returning Zaniolo where he belongs, read Roma value him at 40 million and the Zebras are interested in him. He could be the ideal SS behind whoever is our main striker next season.

On the other hand if he goes to Gobbi land they can easily dominate Serie A in foreseeable future, just sick and tired of us trying to fill the team with workhorses and they always get the perfect balance of technical and physical players, disgusting.

We could have several additions to improve our team in summer and january through loan deals or not big fees but we settled for what we have and went for the typical old experienced has beens instead. Rafinha, Lo Celso, Pjanic, VDB and several other low cost options were there to take in summer or this january but we didn't take any.

We had to get rid of Kolarov, Sensi and Vecino in summer and replace them with the players who could improve the team; but only one of them just went out on loan and two of them are still here. If the board bothered they could find better players than Caicedo to improve our attack. First the rumores said we have 15m to spend in january, then the club acted like they have 0 money to spend!

We need to revise our approach about signing old bags who get many and give little to nothing and invest in younger players who earn little but give extra to the team, and actually have a resale value and we don't need to pay them to fuck off!

You can't buy players with multiple ACL tears. They're ticking time bombs

On the contrary once they fully heal ACL is rarely a problem again and if they can get back to previous form they are the perfect buying opportunities, with lower cost.

Remember Ronaldo after he went to Real for example.

I'm sure Zaniolo thought of that when he first ruptured his acl

They got Gosens who's great. If they renew Perisic, with Onana coming in, that puts Inter quite close to a higher level than where they are atm

Brozovic, Bastoni, Barella are all staying. That's pretty awesome imo

I feel we are one inspired signing away from being very competitive. Someone like Lukaku, but cheeper...easier said than done though
