Don't know much about Buchanan only saw him couple times at WC, anyone knows more about him? Is he any good or is this just another downgrade in a row, Hakimi > Dumfries > Buchanan?

He can dribble, so, cool with me.

According to the Reddit comments, his decision making and passing is terrible, so we’re basically getting Dumfries again lmfao.

I just don't think this signing makes any sense. He's a complete defensive liability, much like Dimarco. You can't have them on the pitch at the same time. Replacing Dumfries with him is a mistake. Replacing Bellanova with him is an upgrade.

Hes a very raw player. There isn't much to him outside of pace. Sure, it's a quality we need, but he doesn't offer much else. It's a transfer that makes no sense.

Bellanova can dribble too, but he is regarded as a flop.
I can smell another Lazaro here.

No canucks in my squad🚫😤

yeah idk seems like a weird signing, he gives me Bellanova vibes. Maybe there’s something there no one else is seeing but I doubt it. He strikes me as a pure winger and we don’t really use those unless he can somehow learn to defend like Perisic did.

We don't need a 15mln replacement for bellanova though. Has he even played 5 full games for us? That doesn't need a replacement. If we get a proper centre back, darmian is our replacement for bellanova at rwb.

Considering all the rumours about a coach change in the summer we may want him as a winger and not as a wingback.

For whatever it's worth, in his article about Inter's interest in Buchanan, Di Marzio describes him as an "attacking winger" who can play on both sides.

Darmian would be Inter RWB alone in that time because Dumfries is going to monetized by Zhang this summer.

Basically Darmian is considered as the Skriniar's replacement. And Buchanan will fill his boots.

Haven`t watched him but

Tajon-Buchanan-2.jpg

read comments from Inter fans on other platforms and not optimistic:
This guy has been terrible in the Jupiler League. Worse than even Bellanova. Marotta and Ausillio need to go. Wasting our precious resources on a Serie B level player.
Oh,nooo...
I would prefer Frimpong from Leverkusen for rwb.
Probably has a better football brain than Dumfries but won't offer as much defensively.
Please fail. Terrible player.
So we gonna down grade from our downgrade? LOL
HAKIMI > Dumfries > Buchanon
Suning is so broke it’s not even funny anymore

Demiral: after the failed transfer in January, press suspected Inter`s main target will be Scalvini.

What we know so far?
  • FCInterNews: the two clubs were unable to agree a deal for Demiral, which would have been a key condition to Inter allowing Skriniar to leave for PSG during the January window
  • CdS: The Turkish international had rejected an offer from Nottingham Forest during the January window
  • FCInterNews: the Nerazzurri were ready to offer a loan fee of €3-4 million for the Turkish international for the rest of the season, and also that a deal could still be possible in June
  • GdS: Contacts between Inter and Atalanta are ongoing regarding a possible move for Merih Demiral, who could join the Nerazzurri this summer
  • GdS in March: the Nerazzurri prefer the Turkish international over Red Bull Salzburg’s Oumar Solet as the designated heir to Skriniar

Now Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuogl reports in a tweet that the 25-year-old wants to leave his current club due to the fractured relationship with his coach, and that a departure now looks to be all but inevitable. Not sure how reliable he is, but he also tweeted back in January when Inter made an offer for Demiral.

“Merih Demiral and Gian Piero Gasperini have had a bust-up!”

“Merih Demiral has conveyed to the Atalanta directors that he definitely wants to leave during the summer transfer window.”

“Gasperini blocked Merih’s transfer to Inter at the last minute.”
I consider Demiral overpriced because he lacks focus/concentration during the entire game and loses his man in marking. For me he is not top club starting material.

Inter should Scalvini from Atalanta if anyone, which is why they will probably sign Demiral.
