Torino - Inter (14 Mar 21) [1-2]

My heart, liver and lungs could use a break, let's have a comfortable win. Oh wait it's Torino so have to worry about Handa losing his mind...

Do we tell Belotti to pack his bags and to become Rom's subsitute here before or after we have won in Turin?

That ship is sinking and we should pick the best.

He's going to end up at Milan. They'll have UCL money to spend and can offer more playing time.

fuck, i'd love Belotti here, but we are broke, so...

Belotti is exactly the kind of signing we should go for, even moreso if Toro get relegayted.

While I have my own issues with "modern football", the sad reality is that you need to hoard talent and stack your squad to be able to consistently win on multiple fronts.

Look at a team like Man City and how they have the luxury to rotate and combine high level players likes Mahrez and Bernardo Silva, or Cancelo and Kyle Walker. Look at our own forward department from 15 years ago. Maybe not these days, but in years past we'd say that juve's second string XI would start for every other team in the league.

This is what teams like Sarri's Napoli lacked - quality rotation players. It's why Inzaghi's Lazio look to have peaked. Take off Luis Alberto and SMS for Akpa Akpro and Escalante and your team goes from an 8/10 to a solid 5/10.

If we win the league, Belotti (or someone like him) may be enticed to join the winning team. There's no shortage of players who would rather squeeze themselves into a winning unit rather than be a starter for a smaller team. Then again, there are plenty who prefer the opposite. It's totally possible he'd prefer to go to a Milan or Roma and be the main forward. Who knows.

As others have alluded to though, there's no point discussing any transfers until our ownership issues are resolved and our liquidity problems addressed. Only then will we have an understanding of our transfer resources for the coming windows (idea Gervinho).

Belotti is only 27 years old, so I doubt that he would settle for a backup role in Inter. Not very long time ago, he was among the deadliest strikers in Europe while Torino was a better team, but however over the last few seasons everything has regressed there.

He has to move on. A player of his calibre shouldnt be wasting anymore time in Torino. But then again, if I was him, I would challenge myself in a bigger club with a lot of competition. It's not like he's unproven in this league. The guy has plenty of experience, plus him being a captain has made him grow a lot in term of leadership.

Eventually I would be pretty happy if we would acquire him. Let the trend of having top quality strikers continue...

Its really should be an easy win, those suckers lost to fucking crotone at thier home, they weak as fuck, we should stomp thier ass easily 3/4-0...

Yeah no way Belotti is going to sign for a team which has Lukaku and Lautaro ahead of him in the pecking order. If they go down, he's gonna get his big transfer for sure and it would make zero sense for him to go to a place where he by default would eat the bench. Milan for example would make a lot more sense.

Fuck Belotti. Fuck torino as a team and as a city.

Fuck em 0:7

I have mentioned it before but if Torino get relegated and we're still broke in the summer the Torino player i would like Inter to sign is Bremer. He's a promising cb who has been Torino best defender this season and he can play on both sides in a back 3 formation. Exactly what we need in defence.

Bremer, Izzo and Belotti, i'd take either of them. I like Baselli a lot, but the fucker has been injured for 2 seasons now.

Hopefully Vidal doesn't start here. Very underwhelming performance against Atalanta.

Would Belotti come here Lautaro shouldn't be the default starter anymore. Lautaro's biggest strength is pressing which Belotti does even more. He has been great with turds Meite, Rincon, Mandragora or such behind him and the second attacking threat is...Ansaldi on the left wing. Belotti can offer Lukaku-factors in hold up play too as he has been carrying Torino for years. Minutes should not be a problem.

The main issue is...I don't know where we can find 20m-30m for him Had we that money, we should buy Gosens first, and people already complain that is too much...

Lautaro could play in a 10 role I think. Could see that happening in some games.
But I don't think there is any chance of belotti joining us

If Belotti doesn't want to come here we should snag il fenomeno Zaza from them

With the possibility of Lukaku or Lautaro being sold in the summer convincing Belotti to join Inter is not that hard. With the club financial situation the chance of selling one or two of them is very possible, so I don't think we should rule out his arrival as of now. A lot might happens after the season, so anything is possible.
