What did coutinho do wrong for Inter lol ?
We signed him as a kid and he did quite good.

We sold him because he didn't fit tactically in a period where we were chaning coaches every month and still managed to get a healthy profit out of him
Never became the star we needed him to become at Inter. Was loaned out more then once before he was sold. Never made it at Inter.

I only remember Coutinho being loaned out at Espanyol for 6 months where he did well.

Would never make it big if it’s not Liverpool at that time tbh.

I fucking hate having to write "if we weren't broke" before every post, but -

If we weren't broke, accelerating in January for Thuram is the single most sensible move that this club could make. Sure, we pay extra for a soon to be free agent, but it would be batshit insane to carry on with Lautaro (streaky), Dzeko (old), Lukaku (injured forever, apparently), and Correa (dogshit). Seriously putting CL qualification at risk, which is a so much more financially harmful than dropping ~15m on Thuram.

But we are broke, so I actually do expect us to recall Satriano/loan Destro.

We were struggling to add Acerbi wages last summer desoite not having a backup cb. What makes you guys think we could sign another forward, even on loan?

Zhang decides that's the way to go. Things can change in a day.

A couple of nights ago marotta said our budget was written assuming we would not progress through the cl group stage, so that gives me slight hope we will have some money to spend in january although knowing in how much shit we are financially I'm not holding my breath.

Cassano's transfer limited his development and game time at inter, so sad to see him leaving after a promising loan stint at espanyol
, we always dream of a youngster that manage to become at least a regular starter at inter(so happy bastoni worked out well),
Somehow at the moment di marco manage to do what coutinho, santon amd others couldn't do

15m?! Isn't that what we offered for him when he had 1 year left in his contract? If we ever get to decide to sign him in January I won't go anywhere beyond 7-8m for him.

That was when he was coming back from a long injury. He's now back to match fitness and in form.

Also, inflation innit?

I seriously doubt Gladbach would sell Thuram in January unless offer is too good to refuse. He's their top scorer and could be the difference maker for them between staying in Bundesliga and getting relegated.

There was a serious article on The Athletic about whether or not he should be in Brazil's world cup squad.

At least we got reasonable money when we sold him.

Gabigol could actually be more useful to us right now than Correa tbh.

IIRC I think we offered that when he still wasn't injured. Then when he was we went after Correa. Not sure tho.

He should be in the squad and probably even their main starter.
Everyone else, from the stirkers department, seems so underwhelming.

I don't get the hype of this Brazilian team. On par with the 2018 and 2014 ones yet everyone acts as if they're the 1998 team all over again.

I think, hope, new owners bring in some needed attack and change the system to add another on the field imo

Shit i checked Taremi from Porto profile and the guy is already 30. Was gonna mention him as a possibility.

Thuram option may be no longer possible as 8 goals in 11 games or so... someone else with more money will aproach him.
