Apparently lots of people (Hamed and zzang for example) fail to realise that things in the transfers market do not work the same way as they did 5 or 6 years ago.
There is no more BIG MONEY deals all around now. Chelsea and Real can afford that, but the majority of teams can't. Swaps are very common.
Also, players have huge power in deciding their future. This means that it's not enough to want a player nowadays, you need to be playing in the CL, to have good prospects to attract big names.
Even that is not enough. Take Samuel for example. If he is to leave Real, he could have the choice to join Inter or Juve. Now, Juve won the scudetto, Capello (who Samuel knows very well) is the coach.
Now put yourself into Branca and Facchetti's shoes. Do you think it's easy task to convince Samuel to come to Inter instead? Keep in mind that, while you're trying to do so, in the background all you can hear is your own fans calling you an idiot and a loser.
If we can get Pizarro, fine. But we managed an extremely good transfers campaign (Cannavaro-Carini as the sour exception) last year, and we sealed Veron already.
I don't want us to spend crazy money, I don't want Inter to end up like Parma, Lazio, Fiorentina and Roma. Remember that they use to call these teams, together with Inter, Milan and Juve, the 7 sisters, that were dominating Serie A. They're gone now! Why? Because they're broke! And apart from Milan getting Jankulowski, the other teams didn't do much did they?
As usual, people are getting frustrated even before things actually happen.
You want transfers to happen straight away, well newsflash people: it's not only up to us!!
