[Gal]

I specifically said 'from the first-team squad at the end of last season'. Radu, Satriano & Salcedo were not in any way part of the picture then nor now.

There no such thing as a secondary team, the next down is primavera, it would require that “U23” team a team Inter dos not have yet.

All those 3 are on professional contracts, those same rules apply to them as it applies to Correa. Neither of these are some 18 year old kid, it’s players we have on contract that we so far just loaned out in the hope they developed into something we could earn on or use. If you prevent them they can likely get their contract annulled due to article 15 at end of season. We have previously gotten players from Lazio that way.

There obligation on contract and if you prevent a player from training and/or playing they can very often get contracts annulled if certain criteria are met regardless of article 15. While there conditions of annulment in every contract those have to be in line and not break fifa and uefa rules and there still the article 15 rule with its played in 10% games rule.

I'm not sure which I'm more amused by, the fact that Klaassen's name is misspelt in each of these posts, or the fact that absolutely nobody cares that it is.

 

[pier]

Yeah, bluenine doesn't seem to bother to remove Audero and Di Gennaro from the OUT list either.

 

[Il Drago]

That fell apart because Napoli tried to change the terms that would make it an obligation to buy from Frosinone and the club reacted angrily.

This deal will be worth €2m for the loan and €10m to buy outright, with Milan receiving 50 per cent.

Honestly i didn't know this guy is coming from Milan youth system. Thanks for the info.

 

[Il Drago]

I'm not sure which I'm more amused by, the fact that Klaassen's name is misspelt in each of these posts, or the fact that absolutely nobody cares that it is.

What makes you think anyone cared enough to learn how his name is accurately spelt?

and zielinski

 

[Jnr]

Fofana and Douglas Luiz are excellent deals for Milan and Rube. 2 players that fit in perfectly.

I would say Milan will be a stronger opponent , fighting for scudetto too. Rube 3rd.

 

[thatdude]

Serie A : 38 games
Coppa Italia : 5 games (max)
New Champions League : 17 + 2 (playoffs) games (max)
Super Coppa : 2 games (max)
Club World Cup 2025 : 7 games (max)

71 games until the finale.

EDIT: Added UCL playoff

So that’s an increase of 10 matches form the maximum potential matches for Serie A clubs. That’s definitely a game changer for any team who wants to compete for a treble.

What I don’t understand is when they’re going find time to fit the Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup is scheduled for next June. One month in duration.

lol so players just never get time off anymore. How’s that even going to work when there’s an international tournament?

It's really truly a fucked up thing. Any clubs participating it are compromising their 2025-'26 seasons because they're not getting any kind of off-season at all. I hope Ancelotti really did let the mask slip a while ago and this whole house of cards falls apart...I know we need the money but g-ddammit, enough's enough.

How ridiculous is the qualification, btw? Chelsea qualifies because they on the 2021 Champions League. You know how many players from that team are still there? Kepa, Reece James, and Ben Chilwell. That's it.

All I know is I'll see you at the Inter games since America is hosting the tournament.

Absolutely. I’ll be there no matter what!

There is also this

https://news.sky.com/story/professi...n-over-fifa-plans-for-club-world-cup-13152380

This Club World Cup "product launch" is close to the worst ever (only beaten by the Super League one few years ago). AFAIK there's still no match schedule available, not even venues are known.

And these legal/semi-legal issues hand around it like FIFA unanimously inventing the whole thing and extending the football calendar without asking anyone (like the players). The contracts issue is also real. In football world (FIFA being the absolute top organization) contracts with the clubs end in 30th of June. But this tournament runs from June to July. There are legitimate issues with this. Arnautovic contract is not maybe an issue for Inter, but let's say Mbappe situation was next summer not this. He'd be PSG player till the 30th of June in this tournament but then out of contract when the knockout games start. You can't force him to sign 2 weeks extension. Some players might want to stay but the club do not want the extension, some players might want to but the club would want the extension. And everything in between.

They have really not thought about these things through and it's 10 months when this fucking fiasco is about to start.

How the fuck we didn't make Gudmundsson deal, he was no.1 priority and Inzagi favourite, I understand we would have to put better deal because they wouldn't accept this deal with us but again...we have worse attack than last year, Correa is useless, we are again one injury from disaster

 

[PHM1605]

What if Gudmundsson pulls a Tonali-bis i.e. we paid an arm and a leg but he goes to jail?

We were too nice to correa and arna, it's really that simple. We could have had money for gudmundson type striker, especially the way fiorentina constructed the current deal for him, if we told both of them to fuck off in june. Instead, we just let it slip indefinitely, hoping the cancer will remove itself.

And make no mistake about it will bite us in the ass given the amount of games we have to play next season, just like how it did last year against atletico at home when arna missed almost everything. The way how we are so casual about our bench options in attack and have been for years is what pisses me the most about inter in recent years.

I have no idea what this answer relates to, but the original point is that the first-team squad (players who will realistically ever be called on for minutes) is a man fewer than at the end of last season. The trio you mention are all actively being touted out to be sold and will never play in the first-team even if they don't leave on permanent deals.

 

[PHM1605]

Huge blow for Juve. Chiesa is excluded from their registered list.

Yeah we aren't that rich to make similar move to Dumfries, leaving for free too. But at least the Dutch value is much lower and we can use him till the end, not wasting his salary.
