Well done, Marotta...
In this case, put him on the bench for the rest of the season.He will say No. If PSG has to pay 20M€ then his bonus will be much less. Inter has absolutely no pull right now.
Skriniar can milk the maximum out of the situation. Wait 5 months to get all that signing bonus. Try to win Coppa too and call it a day in Serie A.
It looks like FM and it is.
yes nobody is bigger than InterNew trand: "Nobody is bigger than Inter"
You can use it any time, it doesn't matter if it is correct or not.
Iven if we are bankrupt and dismantled nobody is bigger than Inter.
It’s no longer speculation it’s a fact now or at least the most likely scenario that Škriniar is about to leave the club for free.This management blaming posts are ridiculous. Guys have decades of experience in managing teams and you think they would overlook one of their most valuable assets?![]()
Yeah that's probably the most likely scenario. But according to some news Inter didn't receive any offer from PSG. There are also rumors that Zhang blocked the sale. In either case you can't blame the management bar Zhang if the latter is true.It’s no longer speculation it’s a fact now or at least the most likely scenario that Škriniar is about to leave the club for free.
I can't speak for others but this is why I personally blame the management:I don't really get why people keep blaming the management either.
Some of your stories are not really true though.I can't speak for others but this is why I personally blame the management:
The fact that this posturing is actually working on some of you is bewildering and disappointing. You're entitled to your own opinions but as far as I'm concerned, you've all fallen for the classic Marotta move of blaming the player. I'm just shocked to see it's worked on so many of you.
- despite being one of, if not our best player for years, they've repeatedly tried to force him out and sell him - that too, far under market value, and once in the middle of tight title race
- as we all know, they see players as nothing more than assets on a balance sheet, and their lack of planning and botched de Vrij renewal forced them to move onto the next asset to try and sell - Skriniar - after ruining another asset in de Vrij
- they had the chance to renew him for significantly less - by all reports, a mere €4.5m, but did not take the opportunity
- when they DID have the chance to sell Skriniar for a respectable (but still low) €50m, with a ready made replacement in Bremer, they did not act. Their comical incompetence lead to us missing out on both Bremer and any transfer fee for Skriniar
- per my previous post, they posture as if this is a matter of principle and of finances, but at the same time they've wasted exorbitant amounts on failed transfers of Lukaku, Correa, Gosens, and expensive golden handshakes for Conte, Vidal and Sanchez. As I've mentioned, they've just renewed a completely useless player in D'Ambrosio for another TWO years as well - money that could've been far better spent
After such shamelessly inept allocation of enormous resources, how dare they act like they like they can't pay a loyal servant and one of our precious few WORLD CLASS assets another €1m? All the while holding him to some Hamisk comment from years ago like it was some kind of binding agreement
To add insult to injury, we've apparently gone running back to de Vrij (who has been absolute garbage for 2 years now) and tried to accelerate his renewal. Oh, and we've also apparently offered Smalling a contract of €3.5m, which is more than what we're paying Skriniar
It's like we're going out of our way to give him a giant middle finger with every move we make.
Reports say Zhang rejected a sale of 50m. And that PSG never offered more.If Marotta´s best transfer was getting Pogba for free and selling him for 100 million; where does losing Škriniar for free when he could have received 50 million 5 months ago qualify in his list of dealings?
What sort of information was Marotta and co operating under? Why are you comparing your information/ speculation to people who are being paid millions to render their opinions and make big decisions?Absolutely right. Everybody here, including me was convinced that PSG's 50 mln are too low, because Skriniar will renew. I guess the management was on the same page, and due to that they mishandled the situation.
We fk'd up really hard let's move on. Our girlfriend kept waiting for her engagement ring and she took a better offer from a richer guy. She can go fk herself and move to Paris. Dead to me
This, Marotta is getting paid 6m a year iirc and people are giving him a pass for these. Ohhh his hand is tied, ohhh he wouldn't have known that Skriniar wouldn't renew. Well it's his fucking Job to oversee all these things, it's not like Lukakus move where he was blindsided on the 11th hour; he had the whole fucking year to renew or sell.What sort of information was Marotta and co operating under?

WTF is this?
Marotta is paid the big bucks to operate and make the big decisions.
If Marotta went to Steven and said , let’s wait a few months and offer 6 million to Skriniar and he will likely renew and failed to assess other scenarios such as PSG offering a big sign on bonus then he shouldn’t be the CEO. Because his job is to assess risk, canvass opinions, and make the best decisions.
If you’re Steven, you should really consider hiring members of this forum. If you look back and read this thread, you will see that the overwhelming majority of people in this forum held Škriniar as the team’s best defender- this is even when Conte was benching him.This, Marotta is getting paid 6m a year iirc and people are giving him a pass for these.
