FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFYeah I’m 12 and I’ve been here 16 years…
You’re a grown ass man with the math skills of a 7 year old and Skriniar as your avatar that’s pathetic

10 years of FIFIt's a quick way to win arguments. By his mindset, if Skriniar was black he was going to pull the same nonsense against those who are treating Skriniar the same way that he does.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFhow can anyone honestly say here that a season of Lula with a proper summer doesn’t excite them?
It was literally the best combination in all of football in April and May. Lukaku and Lautaro were 2 of the 3 best strikers in Europe.
There is no reason to believe that this is going to stop. No matter how angry you guys all are that Lukaku is a curse in European finals.
if you guys seriously think he’s done then that’s a different story entirely and plz do me so you so I can get info on your dealer. That’s some great weed you’re on
Lautaro is streaky as fuck and will go months without scoring when things are not going his way… except when he plays with Lukaku.

I don't have an issue with Lukaku coming back, but rather the price that comes with it (transfer fee + wages). It's not that 30 million is that huge a fee but for a team in our situation, combined with the wages, it's quite a lot of money.
Obviously, if Lukaku can keep the form he had for the last two months, it would be a huge boost for us.

Jesus, I bet you thought you did something there.
A club in our situation should be making smarter choices. Selling him for 115M should have been the start of building a better team on top of the solid core we had under Conte but we wasted everything on players like Correa, Gosens and the second spell of Lukaku which was useless.

Most Improved MemberI'm not obsessed with Lukaku at all, but I don't like when people are whinnying about something, and when ask them for solutions, they suddenly keep quiet or come up with totally irrelevant suggestions like Morata, Piatek, Immobile, Højlund etc.
I said that I would risk with Balogun, even though I didn't watch him. I check his stats, and he seems as a goalscorer, alike many of the other mentioned options.
The other alternative is Beto, who is similar to Lukaku, but with him we won't be a title contender most probably. He will be a way cheaper though.

10 years of FIFYou expected to read what name? Mbappe? Haaland?! We're not exactly living in an era where you can find hundreds of superstars out there. Plus we're not living in 90s and 2000s anymore where a sugardaddy owner like Moratti spend crazy money on anyone he likes. Did you forget in what financial state we are as a club?
And what's supposed to make a damn difference what we suggest in a forum? It's the club's job to find the right players for the right price, not us. You say you would risk with Bologun even though you didn't watch him! Should we laugh about that as well? Who else do you suggest without watching them?

Forum SupporterMost Improved MemberI know that, but what is the relation to my comment?
In that case, why so many of you are crying against the management because they want to bring Lukaku back? Let them to do their job.
I said this as a fan, because it's not my job to scout or watch every talent out there. But, I'm not against Lukaku return as many of you as well.
I said that Balogun risk is worth compare to Lukaku's risk, considering that Chelsea want 45 mln for the latter. The former is in right age, has one season with more than 20 goals in decent league, already being linked to the club (which means that the management rates him). Anyway, I won't go to throw shits on the management if the choose Lukaku instead.

Forum SupporterI hate to admit, but I'm flip-flopping on this issue once a week. I wouldn't mind someone cheeper and younger, but then screwing Chelsea over and over again makes me smile...

10 years of FIFScrewing Chelsea would be loaning him for yet another season. Which I would be completely fine with.
Now we are taking their pain away by them getting rid of that contract.

10 years of FIFNobody is looking for discussion anymore, all venting and yelling at each other at this point
I mean I'm not a big fan of Lukaku or anything. But I'd love to have a discussion on Inter's transfer target, it can be fun. If you want Hojlund, Openda, Taremi... at least give an description of the players, how they would play, how much they would cost, what the expectations for them would be, etc... but nothing, everything we have seen so far is 'maybe cheaper' or 'maybe younger' kind of arguments. Some people just don't want Lukaku and never try to look at Lukaku vs all the alternatives from a more complete, holistic point of view. It's now the best of the alternatives vs the worst of Lukaku, no middle ground whatsoever, and of course, when you frame things in such way, there's no discussion to be had.

I'd love to get a Lukaku alternative, dont get me wrong. I'm not at all wedded to the idea of Lukaku. I think if he can play at his end of 22/23 season form, then he's a great purchase at that price, but there is significant risk in that
however, we're not even framing reasonable alternatives. If someone is like... yeah, IVe been watching Hojlund since he was 15 and I'm willing to bet my reputation/house/mortgage/career on him being a Haaland level success, then fuck yeah, lets sign him. I've not seen much of him play, but what I do see in terms of stats doesnt inspire me that he's on the same level currently to what we need

10 years of FIFI think we're like that poor couple with 3 kids, that loves each other a lot but all the financial problems get in the way and they argue all the time, over money and the lack of money.
I don't think there is a better realistic option than Lukaku at the moment for the price we are aiming to get him for. This is real talk, and not football manager talk, or 'lets invest in potential and hope for the best" talk.
We know what he gives and what he lacks and everything in-between. We have all the questions answered when it comes to Lakaka. Just that in a real world is worth 5/10 millions. It's not a gamble. We know what boxes he checks and what he doesn't.
Lakaka and Lautaro have great understanding, great chemistry and deep down they know that it's Lautaro who is the alpha between the two of them this season.
Lakaka gives you 15+ goals in Serie A and just being there improves the chances of the other team trying to adjust their defense and playing on "our" rules/terms.
We can go back and forth for 20 more pages, but I really don't want Inter to end up paying 30m for him. And this is the part where nothing is black or white. Because having said all this I still don't want him for anything that is more than 20millions.
He really needs to push for a transfer, and not a transfer where everyone ends up happy. Fuck that shit. Chelsea will have to get fucked in this deal, there's no way around it.
If we had a budget of over 100m, this thread would be closed long time ago... But that's not the case.
