Looks like they’re fighting each other in the board.
For that price, if it happens, it would be quick. Or they’re handling damage control first.

I don't buy those GdS reports.

I think Inter is just waiting for a right bid from Chelsea. And we also need to wait till 8th of August to finalize the deal so that Lukaku gets his 2 full years at Inter. So that Inter can get the tax benefits from Growth Decree. For example with Hakimi, we had to pay those normal taxes because he spent only 1 year at Inter.

They are going to sell Lukaku, turning down 130m€ would be batshit crazy to be honest. If only we can use at least most of that money to reinforce the squad, that should be fine. Let's say we get 120m€, Zhang takes his 20m€ cut and Marotta can keep 100m€, that could be good enough for everyone?

Yeah, I just posted on the Forwards Rumour thread off the back of a Bluenine comment. Something like Vlahovic+Dzeko+Dumfries would only run us about 80/85m, depending on how much of a dick Commisso/Friedkin wants to be about it.

We arguably come out better as a squad with that.

No complaining in this case, ofc, at least for me.

I am raging because we are limiting ourselves to 40/130. Then Marotta has no other choice but overpaying for Zapata. It's seppuku and stupid.

Dzeko earns as much as Lukaku so it's totally unrealistic to expect we will sign Dzeko on top of another forward.

Don't expect any argument, he is just here to call people names and act like he is 12 tbh. He might actually be 12 though, the f*ck do I know.

I think Messi is already off to PSG, people are gonna hate them even more now.

Messi fails to renew with Barca.

Sensing a master plan lol
:lol: I think even the most die-hard Lukaku fan would be okay with this.

Of course, tomorrow we'll wake up with Messi to PSG, Lukaku to Chelsea, Lautaro to Barcelona and Jackshit to Inter.

Best to put him in the ignore list. Fortunately the forum's new design hide the ignored listed people's posts completely, even when quoted.

Between the two of us, you're the one who joined in Suning era. I've been a member on this forum probably longer than you've been supporting this team.

I've also posted in other threads that I do want, and believe its the likely path, that Suning will sell the club. I'm a seasoned veteran of supporting Inter, not a teenager anymore who reacts overly emotionally to things. Inter is bigger than any owner, manager, or player.


So dont fucking dare question my loyalty to Inter, I've sat through more than enough shit, seen people like Ronaldo leave after 2 years of being nursed back to health, Mourinho walk out on this club and not even come back to Italy after winning the treble, and Forlan/Zarate era.
So how did you get it so wrong?

This is what Ernesto Paolillo was quoted as saying about Zhang:
“It’s sad that they don’t want to invest or believe in this club. I think it’s the end for Suning at Inter. If nothing else, they’ve proved that they just want to make as much money as possible and keep it going until they find a buyer for the club, at which point what happens will no longer be their problem. »

This is more or less what I said two months ago, when I posted the following:

What Zhang is also not saying is he doesn’t want to sell the club at a discount. So he would rather sell its biggest assets, the players. Don’t be under any illusion, this club is for sale and once the big players are auctioned off inter will be sold

You mocked me for saying this.

So who looks like they don’t know what they are talking about now….Mr.Zhang

If they sell Lukaku, the value of the club drops with the same amount, possibly even more as we risk the top 4 and thus the CL money.

But they should indeed just sell because they cannot run the club to the ground, backlash would be too big which only deepens the hole and value keeps on bleeding out.

According to GdS, Chelsea are going to make an improved offer tomorrow and it is going to be 120m plus a player Inter will choose.
