Put a sheep and we would have won 2-0 already.

As if without Arnau we would have played with 10 men?
No. If we had really quality forward, I'd agree with you, but otherwise, no. If that was Correa instead, he wouldn't have even been in such a position to score,.for example.

Sure, putting ball into an empty net (still, almost bottling it), after missing two other sitters is an unbelievable thing. No other strikers would have succeeded those lol.

He was on a right place in the right moment. You don't have any guaranties that somebody else would do the same.
There were no two other sitters, but only one. And Arnautivic created that attack from the very beginning.
Statements like yours are quite ridiculous. You put IF like something certain. if is if. If there was somebody else and he missed that?
What would have been your excuse?

For me the worst is Correa. High transfer fee, high salary, almost no positive impact. If we had won the scudetto, I'd say that his goals were important, but we bottled it, so he is really trash signing.

That empty net alone doesn't prove shit that he is worth the price tag. The point which is being discussed by the post above.
Yeah he gets the praise for the goal, with that same reason why can't I bash him for the missed chances?
Saying that tapping brings us to the next round is as bullshit as Vecino were rescuing us from the banter era.

The money which the next round will bring us are justifying everything. If we qualify of course

You can blame him as much as you like, but at the end we won the match, and if we qualify nobody will care how many misses he did. If we do not past over Atletico, his misses will be definitely vastly highlighted.

But he did. His goal had pushed us in the CL, which gave us money enough to invest and repeat it in the next season. Which helped us a front of FFP,.and Sunung were able to invest a lot in the squad in order to challenge for the scudetto. And we won it at the end + we have built very strong squad capable of making CL every season.
Vecino's goal was the beginning of this cycle.

Qualifying to quarter is Inter success. Getting CL was Inter-the-team. Not of an individual, so ofc not from fucking Vecino or Arnautovic.
You don't let me "if" with other tons of "ifs"? So I will reply with that again. If we don't qualify I will blame him alone for not increasing the gap to 2 in the first match, makes sense for you?

but then I read this and feel like..wtf?? A team trophy decides one specific signing trashy or not?

If it's team's effort only, why do you shit on particular individuals? The losses are also team's failure.

But in my first post I said exactly this. That his signing will be justified IF we eliminate Atletico, because his goal will be quite important.

Worst signing of the Moratta era? When you consider money spent, age, and expected impact.

For me Correa remains the worst. 30m is a massive fee for post covid Inter and the return was almost nothing. But Arnautovic is a clear second. Sensi (1 good month out of 5 years is a very poor return for 25m), Lazaro and Lukaku return completes Marotta's worst 5 signings imo.

I'd put Lazaro second. He offered even less than Arnautivic because he wasn't really used. Maybe it's not entirely his fault but anyway. We spent like 23mln on him, and he was sold for 4. Definitely worst than Arnautivic.
Then, I'd put Sensi, Arnautivic and Kolarov. After that Lukaku's return and Eriksen.

I find the lack of Caicedo disturbing.

Dalbert after Sensi for me

Dalbert wasn't a Marotta siging. It was Sabatini and Ausilio.
Ausilio target. Failed transfer.
Then Sabatini stepped in and gave Nice almost three times as much as the original bid...

Speaking of, I recently saw a video of Sabatini being asked - I imagine beginning of season - saying which of two teams will finish higher.
Ironically it felt like it was all on his ex teams and he picked against each and every one. And got it all wrong.


Was something like Torino over Bologna, Lazio over Roma (ok he was at both) and another one, before of course choosing Milan over Inter.

It's Marotta.

And no, Correa is FAR worse. Arnautovic even if not scoring, is useful and effective for the team on the pitch in most cases. Correa was the opposite. Most of the time, he was useless.
