What hurts more than Lukaku leaving is knowing if we had our finances in order, we would have been in a position to get Messi, and have the Derby D'Italia be a Messi v. Ronaldo matchup.

10 years of FIFNo, we wouldn't be.
Having finances in order and bringing Messi are mutually exclusive.

Yeah but we wouldn't have gotten close to 130 for Lukaku either.

10 years of FIFwhat is the hard on with Messi. He wants 30 million a season won't win us Champions league and is 33. He also can't lead a team. He isn't Ronaldo who will take the final or hard shot.
He is only good when you are already 1 up

"What difference does it make, we need to have that same 10m€ in our books anyway?"
As far as I know, yes.

10 years of FIFNot sure if this was the worst. Some days ago he threw another one liner saying: "Messi sucks"!

10 years of FIFItalians have really fucked it all up. Nothing has been done to improve the product and now Spain and Germany have leapfrogged Italy.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFCan't wait for the yearly august GdS wages report of all Serie A teams. We've made a pretty good cut this year. Zhangs will be happy. They can order home a decent meal that includes chicken or beef instead of instant noodles.

10 years of FIFHow far does the Lukaku sale put us in terms of getting out of our financial slump? Assuming that stadiums are at least 50% capacity next season.
Not counting on what we would save from his wages because that money is just going to be used on other players. Let's say we can spend at most 40-50m for one more player, we make top 4, and we get out of our CL group as well. Will we still be selling star players and bargaining for free loans with 2m optional purchases or will we be back to some normality next season?
We can't predict Sunings finances either but let's say they're better this time next year or the club is sold.

10 years of FIFIn terms of our future, most probable scenario in any case (whichever owner) is that cost cutting is ahead of us so that our salaries match our revenues. No owner wants to see operating losses and we had those losses at -133m in 19/20. I doubt this past season was any better.
This is maybe the a reason Zhang have blocked the use of transfer sale money. He wants that money to stay in the club, simply to pay operational costs so that the club do not make losses that much. Easier to sell if the operation doesn't look unprofitable.
Basically we need to cut the salaries to allow us not to having to sell a 100m€ worth of players every summer. Because salaries are the biggest single cost this club have obviously. It needs a brilliant management, to keep the squad competitive but not get the costs too high (constant payraises). The key is to stay in CL and with that get better sponsorship deals.

10 years of FIFForum SupporterI don't really buy the "looks profitable" argument. Unless you're selling this club to a complete moron they will firmly understand that selling Lukaku is a nonrecurring anamoly, and will not forecast future profits for the club. I believe the lack of reinvesting funds firmly comes down to the requirements for us under the OakTree investment.

10 years of FIFWell of course but it's a start to net like over 100m€ from the sales. Then add the salary cuts to that.
It is of course question which needs an answer how to keep the operation running without external financing.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFAs long as we get to the point where the club is proftiable on a recurring cost/income basis, then we're in a good position imho. Remember our amortisaation book should drop quite a lot - no Hakimi and Lukaku, major salary cuts, we're finally getting rid of Nainggolan and Joao Mario (still more work to be done though).
Salary cuts probably nned work, though, tbh.

10 years of FIFYeah that's what I am implying to. We removed Nainggolan, Joao Mario, Hakimi, Lukaku to list the considerable salaries (so not gonna mention Dalbert and Lazaro). Probably will remove Eriksen too.
But we've added Hakan, Dzeko and Dumfries. And will probably add one extra attacker with at least 3m net salary. We also gave pay raise to Bastoni and will give such to Lautaro, Barella and Brozovic.
So how much we saved might not be a tremendous amount given Lukaku's salary was valid for tax reduction.
Next summer we get rid of Vidal, Perisic so that helps for sure but we need to replace those players too then.

10 years of FIFInter as a club need to find a new way to operate. For years, we have heard about how successful our youth sector is but the fact of the matter is that there is a huge disconnect between the Primavera and our first team. Most players that go through our youth sector are farmed out never to be seen again, included in deals to secure more established players, or graduate and secure the right to play for another Serie A club (Bastoni, Dimarco) before Inter decided to bring them back.
The problem is that there is no patience for nursing young players that show promise. Unfortunately for Inter as a club, that is the only way that that we can break the cycle that we are presently in. As much as we would like, I do not see that changing anytime soon due to the 24 hour schizophrenic turbulence that surrounds the club, even at the best of times.

10 years of FIFWe cannot use Primavera players unless they are exceptional talents. Mature already at very young age. This issue comes directly from the lack of reserve team system in Italy. Other, lesser clubs can use Primavera players more "easily" as the expectation levels are different, the pressure is different in the first team. That's a thing which cannot be changed unless we want to turn to higher-mid table club like let's say Roma.
