Nainggolan would be an amazing signing for a couple of reasons I think. I really rate him as a player and he would instantly improve our mf. I don't mind his age since its not like everybody turns into complete shit once he hits 30. And nobody can tell me he isn't good enough, all of our current midfielders have never been a tenth of the player he is apart from maybe brozo who can be really good but he's a little too inconsistent for my liking. It would also be good publicity for the club too when everybody sees that we are back to signing well known quality players

To be honest, I watch Dembele only twice. And tubevids do add extra joy, really.

Dembele is very technical, Kaka-esque simplistic but effective ball keeping style. Unlike Radija, Dembele can be useful for few more years as his playstyle and ball distributing capability. His moving forward is so sexy, can be very very useful in Italian environment. If he comes and Gag will be limited to just dirty job? How we arrange a mid with Rafinha, Perisic, new RW and Brozovic? Dembele and Brozovic would be too imbalance, isnt it?

1. He has similarity in Kaka in the sense that they are technical yet dependent on their physicality. They need their speed and power to move past players.
2. His ball distribution is okay, but he barely launches through or decisive pass.
3. His dribbling is one of the best in the world. However, he is clueless when he already manages to bring the ball forward. Someone in other thread has made good comparison of him to Kovacic. He will bring the ball skillfully but he will end up in making simple pass.
4. His defensive capability is very good. I expect him to be the best defensive midfielder in Inter if he comes here.

I read some news about Nainggolan and Dembele. It's giving me an erection atm, but how close it is to be another Lavezzi saga considering that we're technically BROKE?

I think no surprises there, it was pretty aparent that he is going to leave for Napoli, was pretty confused when the topic about him started on FIF. We're going to be fine though, just get Rafinha/Dembele/both and we won't think twice.

I am torn on Dembele signing.

At the plus side, he is the real quality in midfield. He is athletic yet silky on the ball. He glides his opponents like they are nothing regularly. I also don't think his injury record is as bad as people perceive him to be. Based on https://www.transfermarkt.com/mousa-dembele/verletzungen/spieler/19368, he was only injured 33 days in the last season and his recent injury record is good. He is also cheaper than Nainggolan or any other top proven midfielders.

At the negative side, we should be cautious and ensure he must have at least 2 good years ahead. He is 31 years old now and his physicality is his important trait. He will not able to run past midfielders with slow leg no matter how good his touch is. Furthermore, his inaptitude to score goal is also concerning. We saw it at the last season that we can only score from Icardi, Icardi, and Perisic. If we add another goalless midfielder, I am afraid we will rely too heavily on Icardi again unless we sign winger that can score.
I agree with your points, only want to comment on your last concern :) If he comes he will replace/rotate with Gagliardini. There isn't any issue at all regarding to not scoring from that deep of the field. Gags didn't provide goals/assists whatsoever, surely Dembele is an upgrade.

Dembele is a crock. Didn't he say he constantly plays in pain? If Roma want just €40m for Nainggolan, this must be our first priority.

1. if the 31 Dembele could produce half or more of Pirlo's possesion and dominating display, which i am sure he's capable of it then i would sign him immediately.

2. if signing Nainggolan costs us 50 million along with Dembele, i would do it too. as long as we can qualify for CL 2 years in a row with them then that 50 million is nothing.

3. and sign Kovacic too while we are at it.

Is it time to open a Dembele thread? Seems like there's consistent enough reports.

What a ridiculously good signing it would be too. Spurs play 10x better when he's on the field.

Fucking shit! All over again.
40m for Nainggolan at 30y. Dembele at 31y.
We learn nothing.

Dembele only has one year left in his contract with Tottenham (makes 4.5 million net per year) and, at the age of 31 (in July), he is not willing to renew it. He has decided to have another professional experience, this time in Italy, and has already said yes to Inter. However, Levy has started negotiation at 30 million euros because he does not have the intention to sell him. He is known in business to be very hard nosed negotiator. But thanks to the frequent contacts in recent days, Inter directors have understood that there is room for maneuver, also because they have the player on their side.

For Spalletti, Dembele is a perfect midfielder because he combines international experience (in CL and with Belgium) with physical strength, quantity and quality. Together with Brozovic, according to the coach from Certaldo, he can form a perfect couple in the midfield. It remains only to understand if in the meeting yesterday did Tottenham ask for any of the Inter player. Who could it be? Well Perisic is appreciated by Spurs which have expressed interest in the past, same goes for Brozovic.

dembele is like kaka :lol:

or pirlo :lol: :lol:

we would still have a young team with both, sure

valero, vecino, dembele, nainggolan so young midfielders and brozovic and gagliardini will play 5-10 times in a season. just sell gagliardini and watch your quality paps

you are 100% like italy, italian NT and moratti, value safe, dino, experienced, old players,

you just hate young players. hope it ends the same as it was with CL DNA milan, treble inter and italian NT.



dont forget to buy derossi, mao spallo loves him too
