Mercato team (Branca & Co) + mercato evaluations thread

[Februarius]

What is this shit about jenas? no thank you !!!

If we don't sign 1 big name by the end of today then i believe we won't make any big signings tomorrow. As far as i remember we never made any big signings on last day of summer mercato.

who said bale was crap last year? He was injured in the first part of the season, and afterwards, he pretty much got the 4th spot for Tottenham on his own. His last 5-6 games were fucking world class!

I want him, but he is not awailable. He signed new 5 years contract a month ago, and Spurs will play in the CL, so, maybe in year or two, but not now...

It's clear neither of us has followed his career but this guy sure has.

Not to mention this guy is quite injury prone and has spent quite a lot of time injured.

Any player who ever gets benched on a team like Tottenham at any point in their career should not even be under the radar as a "World Class" signing for the reigning European Champions.

He just turned 21 for the gods sake.Please stop the nonsense hating.
Now(thats the key word),he is Tottenham main weapon,they rate him higher even then Modric.
We won't pay 30m(21+ Muntari) for him if we(Inter) think that he is not worth,don't worry.

Guys, it is difficult to except but we should be prepared eventually. We can't win everything all the time. It is very complicated after winning for so many years and spoiling with the grand slam last year. We should consider some factors that this year might work against us. More importantly, 1. Italian Federation (as usual), I don't think they appreciate Inter domination in Italy..., 2. Some players might not have the same spirit of sacrifice they had on the second part of the season...

That right there is a prime example of Class B loser mentality, a little lower than the shit that comes out of Ranieri's mouth. We are European Champions and as such we should be looking to not only defend our crown once but 50 times if we have to. That's what winners to do. You don't stop right there as if its some fluke you did and simply make yourselves automatic losers right afterwards you continue investing to ensure that, barring a plague that takes out half the team, your team is even more prepared to defend it crown by having better depth than before and maybe even better players than before. So far all we've seen is a severe reduction to our depth departed and no changes being made to our aging squad. Our starting XI is older than Milan's btw, in case you didn't know.

Furthermore, some players that we want to sign are ridiculously overprices, in a time that we should balance our debt in order if we want to remain elite team in Italy, Europe and hopefully in the World. We already have a good team that needs some touches in the midfield. We don't need a fancy name (leave that to Milan and Real), what we need is someone who will guarantee a season above average. I liked Kuyt or someone like him. My dream would be Bastian...but, it is easier to say then do it. What consults me during this market is Moratti's dedication to the team. There is a reason why we are not signing big names. I would prefer this year to win Italian championship and go as much as we can in Champions League with the team we have rather then having financial problems in the future and see Inter playing for a place at Uefa cup.

We balance our debt by making Inter a winning club and thus becoming more marketable, by making Inter a club that people want to put money into, a club that people want to support. Right now we're doing the exact opposite of that. What we don't understand is even though Madrid and Real pay shit loads on players they almost make everything they invest back and in the case of some players maybe even more. Selling our players for seemingly high prices, especially our big names, now and replacing them with cheap solutions won't even come close to solving our financial crisis it just makes us even less desirable to some players and to companies like Nike less interested. For example, who do you think Nike would rather invest in, Balotelli or Sculli? True we made 30 million euros after selling Balotelli once, and although I'm not saying things were rosy and we should have kept him but, there's no question we could have made more through other means.. but that's for another topic and deals with Economics which is not my field of study. It is however worrying how even though we were European Champions clubs were more frequently linked to our best players like Sneijder to Man U, Sneijder/Maicon/Milito to Madrid than we've been linked to theirs. Could this have meant that we were actively shopping out our players and when their bids did not match our valuations we rejected the offer?

I believe that no matter what Milan sings we can still beat the shit out of them is we play as a team. Wasn't Milan supposed to overpass us on February 2010 in the 2nd derby? Didn't we taught them what the meaning of team is?

Keep telling yourself that. It's what Galliani and Berlusconi said too in 2007.

Finally, we have to remember one thing. We should always back our team no matter what happens. Call me optimist but, I have faith in this team.

I call you deluded. You can't win by becoming weaker and ignoring the strengthening of your opponents.

-_- he plays what 5 games with Tottenham in which they lose two against a team called Young Boys and another team named Wigan which has probably one of the worst defenses in all of Europe and now all of a sudden he is Spurs' main weapon and worth 30 million euros? That's absurd! There are only 5 players in the EPL worth that much Rooney, Vidic, Cesc, Balotelli and Silva. All the rest are overrated.

P.S. save yourself the trouble and don't believe none of the bullshit being posted on these websites right now. We would never spend 30 million anything on Bale.

From the players mentioned (vaguely) currently, I would only accept Schweinsteiger. Fabregas won't come so I don't count him in, and the rest are just squad players to me, that can turn very good buys, but they aren't proven in a big club like Inter. Schweinsteiger is (on a club level, and NT level).

I agree, but at the end it's all about how much do you want to spend? And it seems we dont want to spend much this mercato even if we earned what, 60 - 65 mil. Let me ask you this, how much would you give for Schweini? It's not retorical, I am curious?

 

[blackmore]

asamoah name has been running around with many this afternoon, but its being said that nothing will be certain until tomorrow..we do have a mtach to play and league to think about.

lets forget this whole big money move its likely not to happen(would be great though wouldnt it). its dissapointing but forlan asamoah and a certain LB have been all high prority names. forlan it seems has been put out there just to conjur up shit, while schweini(who i had said weeks and weeks ago could come) would be a fairy tale.

the only thing for me is this whole financial "crisis" that we are "in". how are we supposed to splash that kind of money if we are in such bad shape.? im not worried as i know someone will come, the only problem is who, and for how much.?

man does anyone have diegass phone number maybe we can give him a call, he's usually pretty spot on for these kinda "things"........

 

[CafeCordoba]

It's understandable since we have a match today. Usually negotiations are off when the match is closing/is on.

Okey dude.Some days ago,when we were comparing Bale and Vargas,i said that in near future,Bale will be one of the world's best. And i stick with my (wrong or not)opinion,you won't change it.

Who said i belive? In my first post regarding this,i said "If we sign him(i doubt)..."

 

[Luka]

It's not retorical, I am curious?

I think he is worth somewhere between 30 and 40 mln, and to be honest I think he is worth every penny of it, considering his attitude/personality, his constant progress in recent years, and what he showed on the club and NT level last year.

 

[Maslany]

Ok, what the fuck is this? I want to see some big names signed tomorrow. If there isn't, why the fuck did we sell Balo?!?! Why the fuck we think that we are strong and we don't need fresh new players in our squad?! I mean WTF?! With the current squad and seeing our rivals so strong now we are gonna end up being that same Inter from several years ago when we couldn't win shit! Not that i will not support this team, but i suffered rival spits for so many years and i'm sick of that. Branca please, for the love of GOD!!! PLEASE bring us some fresh blood, we gotta keep up with the pressure!! Come on, we are Inter for fuck sakes!!!

 

[Stefan]

Its not just up to branca if moratti doesn't want to open the money bag there isn't much mister branca can do...I hope they do something though. This is gettin depressing...

 

[Nyall]

What's worst is that next season we would most definitely have to sell to buy anyone big cuz of the new rules...

Don't scare me...

That's like my biggest nightmare. If I'll see that I'll seriously go...

I just read that on goal. 15 million Euros is the most Moratti can invest in us next season. And if the reports are correct and we really do operate at a major loss then we'll have to sell to simply compete....

The legislation will allow owners to inject €15 million (£12.3m) a year into their clubs up until 2015, and then €10m (£8.2m) until 2018. This cash cannot be a loan, which is an approach already taken by the Manchester City and Chelsea hierarchy.

Your mister Branca missed some great deals and now he's depressed too together with us.

Has noone here noticed that we sold Burdisso for 8m a few days ago?
C'mon people, rejoice: we've dreamed of this for a long long time!

Terrible piece of business considering that he is better and earned less and is more versatile than Cafe and Matrix. It would have been better to get rid of these two guys and their wages than extending them than to simply gain 8 million euros from Nico.
