Simone Inzaghi

[varmin]

So now not only Inzaghi recommended Correa (which he didn't), he also recommended Lukaku? Come on man

There were rumors that Inzaghi prefers Lukaku over Dybala, and he insisted to bring exactly him. I was on the same page, mainly due to injury record of Dybala, but even if Luakkau wasn't so out of form and always injured, Dybala would have been better for our style. So, yes, I put this transfer on Inzaghi.

My post was a respond to kurt's plans to shifting to winger system.

Changing the system requires resources and that requires sales because we don't have resources to invest.

My bad, I overlooked that.

But your suggestion of selling Skriniar, that would mean throwing this season out of the window, possibly even missing the top 4. I really question that line of thinking.

We can miss top 4 even with him, but at least we'll get some money which we desperately need. It's definitely a risk, buti would take it.

What kind of message it will send if we sell our vice captain? And why should Skriniar leave now when he can get millions in signing money in the summer and probably go to any top club in Europe? And what would be a realistic amount we would get? 15M? 20M? It's not like we can get another player if we sell Skriniar. And god forbid we're going into the second half of the season with a back 3 of D'Ambrosio/Acerbi/Bastoni or even Darmian or de Vrij for that matter.

 

[pazza moratti]

It would be hard decision, but I would sell Skriniar in case he refuse to renew. I would invest that money for the future and make a bid for Scalvini. Maybe trow that Fabbian kid on the deal if needed? I think we would also have option to look for cheap loan deal for players like Davinson Sanchez who are rotting on bench but are decent enough to give us a hand.

If down for me I sell Dumfries, Lautaro, Correa.

Dumfries is indeed good as gone, which makes sense given all the plusvalenza. Correa is sold if we can sell him for a price which don't bring us minusvalenza.

If we sell Lautaro, we need to buy starting striker and 2 wingers. That's very expensive. Basically it would be changing Correa + Lautaro for CF and 2x wingers (as Dumfries sale is only to cover losses for this financial year).

You're also forgetting all the money we're saving from wages with all the players leaving

If you buy 2 decent wingers + one good striker, there will be no saving at all.

All these talks mean nothing as long as Suning is here. I still wait for Sandro Sabatini's claim that Inter will be sold at the start of 2023 to come true. So far we have seen no sign of it coming true.

New players don't come to play for free. Replacing two players with three will probably cost the same in terms of salaries. Tax reduction helps here if few of those comes from abroad.

maybe Europa league or conference league ticket would accelerate that

i could care less if he stays or not as of right now. Until we don't have new owners, pretty much no coach will do shit with this team. And next season our roster will look even worse with zero investments other than giving 2 year deals to some 34 year old that's finished.

Agreed. Might as well let him run down his contract and deal with grizzled veterans, the broke owner and bankrupt mgmt. Hopefully, after 2023/24 season things will change completely for the good.

I disagree. When you have no money the first thing you need to do is tighten up the defense and hoping the attack will get you the one goal you need to win. Inzaghi has no clue how to set up a defense and only counts on outscoring the opponent. Well a good attack needs money.

I've had enough of Inzaghi's "beautiful football". He needs to go in the summer even if the replacement is a gamble like Juric.

 

[forzainter257]

Conte lead very same players to europa league final and to the 2nd place in the league. Barella, Bastoni were still raw. De Vrij was our best CB. When Darmian, Lukaku, Young joined us, most of you were crying here. We had Vecino and Valero in midfield lol. If you give Inzaghi Real or City he will still be flopping. Don't blame the players please

I think Inzaghi won't flop, if he has a strong squad on his disposal. But, he is so bad in introducing of young players, which is a problem for Inter right now.

We conceded 32 goals last season in Serie A. He has no clue?

This Juric talk is funny, as if he had any credentials to tell our star players to be like dogs. Conte had credibility for that, but I doubt Juric has.

 

[NimAraya]

I don't think Inzaghi has no clue about how to defend. He's an Italian coach afterall and defending is a big part of italian football culture. He just decided to go for a different approach than people want him to do.

Mancini used to be the same at Lazio and his first season here. Then he went full italian mode and people actually started to mock and despise his defensive approach, like using 3 DMs in midfield.

Coaching a big club requires something more than just having football knowledge. As you said, you also need to deal with star players with big egos. You need to have the mentality and practicallity to deal with this kind of squad for a full season year in year out. That's why many coaches fail at a big club and do much better at a lower level club.

Exactly.

I don't see Juric having too much credentials in front of our squad. What has he really achieved?

Specially in Juric's case, the credibility is important in front of the squad since his playing style is hard work, hard work and after that some more hard work. Conte had the credibility because of what he has done and achieved as a coach.

First of all, last season was one of adjustment from Conte ball to Inzaghi ball. This season squad have fully adjusted to Inzaghi tactics. And even last season there was a lot of criticism, even from Inter players, that we conceded too many goals. It's just a much bigger issue this season, also due to the loss of Perisic.

And yes. He has no clue. His defensive record speaks for itself.

2016/17 Lazio: 51 goals conceded
2017/18 Lazio: 49 goals conceded
2018/19 Lazio: 46 goals conceded
2019/20 Lazio: 42 goals conceded
2020/21 Lazio: 55 goals conceded
2022/23 Inter: 24 goals conceded in 17 matches

Unless something drastically changes it will be another 40+ goals conceded season for an Inzaghi team. 2021/22 looks like an outlier in Inzaghi's career.

I don't know why you keep bringing up Conte credentials. Conte isn't at Inter anymore. Club can't afford someone with Conte credentials. Inzaghi didn't have Conte credentials when he was hired in the first place.

Bar isn't Conte anymore. It's Inzaghi. For starters we just need someone who can fix the defense. The fact that Inter have a worse defensive record than Lecce and Empoli is simply unacceptable. And it isn't solely a matter of players.

Inzaghi's type of football requires a very strong attack and quality squad depth. We don't have money for either. And that's why for me he isn't the right guy to move forward past this season.
