Perisic is better than Alonso though.
Alonso is a better free kick taker though. Always good to have more than one freekick taker in the starting line-up. Dead ball situation is an important goal scoring opportunity which Inter have missed to take advantage of for many years due to the lack of freekick specialists in the team.

I may not agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said in this thread, I’ve found you to be one of the only calm voices of reason that can explain their viewpoint respectfully and clearly. It’s greatly appreciated. forza inter
Thanks:)
Discussion is always all good and its very useful to hear contrasting sides and consider other views. What I'm not going to accept is after 21+ years of supporting Inter through thick (a little) and thin (a lot) is being a shill for the latest owners. By some kid who (ironically) probably didn't support Inter until the zhangs arrived.

Why do you have to keep telling us how big your dick is in terms of the amount of years that you have supported the club?

You sound like an insecure fuckwit because someone dared to challenge how black and blue you are.

With all due respect, a young kid that posts on here and only just started following Inter this past season is just as entitled to post their opinions than someone with 21+ years of supporting the club.

Do us a favour and save us the bullshit about all the years that you have dedicated to supporting the club and how much you have had to endure.

At what point have I had any objection to them having an opinion? The only thing I have beef with is being called a Zhang shill and the allegation that I'm being _paid for_ by Zhang.

The WHOLE POINT of the number of years I've supported Inter is that I've (factually! Indisputably!) signed up to this forum long before Zhang was even a thing. Unless you think this is some major CCP conspiracy theory where I've signed up to an Inter forum in the anticipating that, maybe, in 12 years time, a Chinese billionaire who basically didnt exist at that point in time was going to buy out the club and we wanted to start the social media disinformation game early?


Everyone's opinion is welcome, but being entitled to an opinion doesn't mean you're entitled to be fucking stupid. I'll consider everyone's opinion on face value and at merit. I think I've always been pretty good at that, but maybe other people will disagree.


It's no different to, for example, me accusing you of being a glory hunter because you're now posting because we won the league in 20/21. It's just fucking stupid. You jonied this forum in 2004, it's a fucking ridiculous suggestion. It's genuinely fucking idiotic. The basic prima facie facts make the very allegation fucking idiotic.



So if you're going to go off at me, have some basic comprehension before you think this is some dick measuring contest and you're telling me to 'save the bullshit'. At least understand what the fuck is being discussed first.


tl;dr no beef with opinions, i always consider opinions at face value. I have beef with being accused of being a _paid for Zhang shill_.

Not the first time Henry had enough of FIF. #justOldManThings

Probably at least half of this forum started supporting Inter in the '90s. I don't see even the reason for this debate, some of y'all just bored, let it go.

My point is there is a certain irony in someone who signed up to the forum during the Zhang era, accusing someone who signed up to the forum in 2005 of being a Zhang shill. All opinions are valid but the basic facts mean I'm not a Zhang shill.

Number of years supporting Inter, etc is irrelevant barring the fact that it's indisputably clear I've supported Inter since before Zhang, Thohir, and dating back to mid Moratti era. Indisputable. So "zhang shill" allegations are idiotic.


Don't think that's unreasonable to point out at all.

It will be perfect irony when both sets of fans will be fuming if this transfer goes through :p

As someone who lives in England with a handful of Chelsea supporting friends, they are all in on Lukaku. Which is funny to me, because for 2 years I was told what a flop he is, and how he has no first touch, can only do it in a farmers league, etc. Now they are all messaging me about how they are winning the league and CL again this season.

I mention Haaland to them and they say they are all in to win now, which I believe Haaland can help you with currently, but what do I know.

I am torn because the rumoured 130m is great value, BUT of course the rumours of what will be re-invested do not leave me optimistic. On the other hand, I would like the club to give a big F YOU to these super clubs looking to poach our players and buy their titles. I would love to open twitter and see a statement from the club about all of this and how our best players are staying to help retain our title and make a push in Europe.

One thing for balance though - if we're only reinvesting 40m from Lukaku's fee, then even if we didnt sell him, we'd be wanting to raise the 80mil somewhere else - that could end up being Lautaro, for example.


It may also be linked to the season ticket situation? If we can sell season tickets and expect 50% attendance, then we can probably expect ~35-45mil revenue this season in matchday maybe.

I really don't think that there is some grand plan in all of this. I would say the numbers were there with hakimi sale, zhang just wants a quick shortcut to make it even faster.

If that 130m offer comes in, just take it and run.

Get Belotti to replace Lukaku and I'll be a happy man.

Lukaku is irreplaceable buy 3 strikers and if it isnt haaland lewandowski messi or someone of this calibre it isn't good enough, we are losing two world class players and replacing with what, nandez.. zupata... fuck me man we just won S19, number 19! and the ambition dives, its embarassing listening to inter hierarchy saying they intend to fight and retain Scudetto.. mannn it normally doesn't bother me transfers part and parcel but these 2 are huge and it hurts. I'm already calling Kaku Judas to my missus for saying to accept bids, love Milan love this ... fuck off with that no one has loyalty anymore its sickening.

Any player of our choosing lmao. I dont think we're going to pick one of their LWBs, we seem to be going forward with Dimarco + Perisic

For real though, who you guys picking?
For me the best we could realistically get is Werner. I don't even bother to discuss players who have a role in their squad like Reece James, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic etc. It's not happening.

We shouldn't even bother with Alonso, Emerson and Zappacosta. Alonso is good as a wingback but he is 31 years old and he earns way too much. Not worth it. Especially since there's nothing concrete about a Perisic departure. Emerson and Zappacosta have no business playing for Inter. They're simply not good enough.

Abraham looks to me like a new Danny Welbeck. I would stay away. Ziyech has no position in our formation.

Werner is coming from a very poor season but he isn't a bad player. His biggest issue at Chelsea is lack of confidence. Perhaps he could look much better with a change of scenery. My biggest worry with Werner is he's too similar with Lautaro so i don't know if a Lautaro-Werner duo would work. But when i read about Kean, Belotti and fucking Scamacca then i certainly prefer Werner.
