Dude c'mon ! He's a vice president !
Do you really believe it was Zhang's personal idea to bring Beppe or keep Ausilio ? Little Stevie is a guy who knows nothing about football. He's just a business man. Zanetti's involvement wasn't just about J.Alvarez or E.Fernadez. The same man was involved in the De Paul transfer, and when we failed that transfer, he made the same raw excuse: ''we don't have enough money.''
Define not having enough money !
If I'm not mistaken, De Paul's cost to Udinese is only 3 million euros. I wonder what he was doing at the time ? or let me ask: Where was Zanetti when Fernandez was transferred to Benfica for only 12 millions ?
Zanetti's name always makes the headlines whenever we deal with an Argentinian. What do we expect from him ? Bringing quality players from Argentina, one of the most important football countries in the world and where have always trained big stars, to our club at "reasonable" prices.
He's an Argie football icon ,right ? I think that at least he should use his strong ties with Argentinian football in our favor, but for some reason we have never witnessed this.
Look mate ! He's an Inter legend, a good family man and a true gentleman. I have no objection to any of these. But we are not discussing his personal life or his football career anyway. As a vp I think he is incompetent.
Grow revenues ! Really ! Bro we're not Brighton&Hove Albion or RB Leipzig. They're the kind of clubs who care grow revenues and other paperworks. We're Inter. We became a big club because what we won on the pitch.
I'm Turkish so I'm a middle easterner. Since the day we were born, we middle easterners have been specializing in dealing with immoral politicians, fascist army, fascist police and useless clumsy bureaucracy. We are people who are very well vaccinated against this type of bullshits.
Believe me, I'm good at getting to know an ordinary bureaucrat who does nothing but think about his own comfort zone. I mean I can smell the bullshit from 1000 kilometers away.
And I can assure you I would have said the same if my idols Matthaus or Zamorano had been in Zanetti's place.
