About the Twitter account, he disabled it earlier, after Inter had qualified for the knockouts and it was full of banter from Inter fans regarding that (how Inter didn't manage to do it with him on board).

I heard Chelsea are searching for a defender. What about a swap with De Vrij if he really is gonna leave? We will anyway get Ginter for free. But i think Chelsea would ask some money on top too (So De Vrij + 30M for example)

Nah man, we're clearly not dependent on Lukaku. Even without him we‘re doing just fine and we’ll likely defend our league title. In CL he we’ll be a non factor anyway. I’d rather replace Dzeko with someone else.

we have no real striker honestly (dzeko is finished and keeps missing easy chances). This team wastes a lot of chances, someoe like Lukaku would resolve that problem.

We don't need any player with the profile of Lukaku, imo. We are the best attack in the league on paper and on the pitch, we score tons of goals, in very creative ways, we should keep improving that, not go for a highly static player that's a null factor unless we keep spamming balls to his feet every chance we get.

We generally need more technical players, players with fast minds and fast feet, the robotic way we used to play with Conte is gone now, players are free on the pitch so we need highly creative players with good feet.
And if we are only talking about attackers, we should definitely look for cheap younger ones for this summer and stick with Dzeko until the end of the season.

He cant control the ball to save his life, it is the main reason he will never be one of the best and he will never be mentioned up there with Lewa, Benzema etc. With how we are playing at the moment we definitely do not need him ( not saying he would not score goals ).

Do you really think we don't need Lukaku? Dzeko last season at a good level, Sanchez is leaving, Satriano has not reached the proper level, Correa is constantly injured, Lautaro has problems with realization.
If he continues to shit on Chelsea and wants to go to Inter, then an 18-month loan is a super option for us.

Speak for yourself, many of "us" celebrated when he left and we are the one laughing now.

I don't watch alot of EPL, but wondering if he's struggling there because of physicality.
I was just pissed off by the way he left..showed that he is just a money hungry bastard who couldnt care less for our club when struggling financially...trust me I hated him here as well he is very limited as a player and I was happy that he left I just dont appreciate they way he did it.

Imo, we don't need him because he is 1. Too expensive, 2. Not adapted to our way of playing football, 3. In bad form, 4. A dickhead. He doesn't love Inter he just is too lazy to work his ass off in England. He doesn't give a shit about us which is clear from the way he left us (and which is also fair because he doesn't have to care about Inter to play for us).

Also, before splashing money for a guy soon in his 30s who shat on us and went away and who has the first touch of a goal kick, we should go for Vlahovic and if not possible for other young strikers (i'd love Jonathan David, might be crazy but I'd even try Schick in Serie A again tbh if he's not too expensive). I just think we should go for a more mobile or technically gifted player at least, one that doesn't randomly trip on the ball when he runs in a straight line.

In an Inter that plays in tight spaces and with lots of movements from the offensive players he will be lost. Look at Dzeko's movement for his goal against Roma, you know Lukaku would have stayed hidden behind Mancini just waiting for the ball and basically killing a fantastic action between Perisic, Bastoni and Calha. And that's just an instance. If the team doesn't revolve around passing the ball to him I fear he will be useless. We were successful in turning a risky 65M on a player that needed to rebound into a record breaking 115M in our pockets let's not be fools and take him back, let him rot. We can find a cheaper more adapted player to partner with Lautaro up top.

I do actually. I do not think he would currently fit our style of play and he would destabilize the team. We are playing creative, possession based football and someone like Dzeko is way more suited for hold-up play and ball distribution. We are having the best year in history in terms of goals scored so that alone should be proof that we simply need to build not change.

it never hurts to look at how you improve - Fergie used to say the time to strengthen is when you're at the top.

Our strikers have been poor this year. Dzeko started really well but in the last 10 or so games, he's been mediocre at best. Lautaro is starting to hit form but its taken too long for him to get here, I cant forgive him for 25 shots at goal 0 goals in the CL group stages.

I dont think Lukaku would do as well as he did under Conte, but i think he'd still be better than either of our current strikers.

How are Dzeko and Lautaro poor and still both in the top 10 scorers in the league, Top 5 even for lautaro ?

Also if we're going to go for a player that spat on us, that has less goals than our "poor" strikers, who is in difficult situation in his club, then why not go for Icardi ?
Same age, great goal record in Italy, knows the club and has same IQ as Lukaku. Less talkative than him though, that's a good point!

Dzeko and Lautaro are not poor as you think, especially Dzeko.
You must watching Dzeko get so many build up play with our midfielder. He is better than Lukaku in terms of Inzaghi playing style.
Lautaro is Lautaro, sometimes he shining like Aguero, somtimes poor, he still young, can improve so much later.

If Lukaku here, Calhanoglu can't score many goals. Lukaku is huge, but he need support from all our players.
In other hand, Dzeko is support, target man , and playmaker in our team.

people worrying about if he really loves Inter but forgot that our ex captain was a mediocre money bastard that asked every 6 months for a better contract.

Lukaku made one mistake and he's already a cunt. For me it's like Bonucci. At first no one wanted him after coming back to Juve. He remains a cunt (even before joining Milan) for me, but that story got old and Bonucci is now one of the team leaders like it always was in the past.

I dont expect Lukaku in Inzaghiball to score as many as he did with Conte. I think we can have the best of both worlds - good all round team contributions, but still Lukaku offering another dimension.

Dzeko would be perfect if he scored more, but he doesnt unfortunately, and I think that lack of finishing edge really became obvious in the CL. My biggest worrry with progressing against Liverpool is actually our attack.

Icardi and Lukaku are totaly diffrent. Lukaku helps the team much more and is fast, physically strong too. Icardi can have a better finishing but in everything else he's below Lukaku. + as i said in my last post, he was always a cunt. I can't remember Lukaku asking for more money or acting like a child. He never was like that till the Chelsea offer. It was the opposite, he was always a team player at Inter.

Lets not forget Icardi works as hard as El Toro or even harder when it comes to pressing the opponents on their side of the field. Have you already forgotten the kind of mistakes rube have done when facing Icardi because of his pressing?
