2018/2019 Forwards Rumours Thread

[KevinB]

Same level as Thorgan Hazard actually. And you want to splash 50m on that guy.

I know, Falcao law and all, but the fuck?

 

[brehme1989]

Lies and deceit one has been a player on the rise for 2 years now, the other an okay player from Udinese. Some of you deserve out of form Perišić and never-in-form Politano.

Just because you don't follow Serie A and think that De Paul is just some fringe player doesn't make your argument valid. Even at the same price I'd probably go for De Paul over Thorgan. Thorgan Hazard will get killed in Italy. Way too soft for the league whereas De Paul constantly keeps improving.

I still feel that both are at best role players at Inter of course, but De Paul is a much better fit if we keep this 4-2-3-1 nonsense. Plus, we need capable set piece takers.

Am I the the only one who thinks we don't need to replace Perisic now?

Dafuq.

 

[CafeCordoba]

We need to replace Perisic now if we sell Perisic now. Otherwise we obviously won't replace him with anyone. In the summer he is sold, then we will replace him at the latest.

You were the one who wanted Thorgan las summer. What was the answer: if you don't talk about Eden, we don't give a fuck!
This is a classical answer you see here from the ignorants, who maybe saw the player once or twice but have a defnitive opinion.
You were more than right. Thorgan is balling. But now with rumours about BVB, Bayern and Liverpool after him, he is not in our range anymore.

In the same time, I like de Paul and I saw him only in 2-3 games. So my opinion is based only on a small sample. And de Paul is a similar player as Thorgan, In this moment I would take Thorgan every day of the week.
But de Paul could have the same trajectory as Thorgan, if you take in consideration the age. And he had the advantage to be in a more stable environment in Mönchengladbach.
18m plus one or two minions is ok for de Paul.

 

[satubito]

According to FCInterNews, the deal for De Paul is 18m plus Emmers and/or Adorante.

That's the Inter way. Give them away and try to bring them back later on for millions of dollars. Isn't Adorante highly rated? Why is it so hard to give the youth a chance? Emmers can be a real gem like Zaniolo.

Sometimes I think we could actually buy a horse (maybe not a stallion, but a good horse nevertheless) with the money we spend to buy three donkeys... I'm not referring specifically to De Paul, but it seems to me that we often get ourselves stuck in a loop consisting of two phases:

1) buy a goodish player who's done well enough in a smaller team in the hopes that he may be an improvement over the players we currently have
2) watch the newcomer perform more or less like the player he replaced because, in fact, he's on the same level as him

Rinse and repeat.

This small-time mindset is what made us sign Gagliardini for 30m and then Vecino for 25m, which has ultimately left us with two mediocre midfielders, when we could have spent the same sum on a single top player.

In saying that, I'm perfectly aware of the FFP constraints we still have to face. I also realise there are several clubs we just can't compete with from an economic point of view. However, I believe it would be better to spend big on a great player (the best we can afford) who can make the difference than to keep gambling on players who have still everything to prove (Gagliardini, Gabriel, Joao Mario, Keita, Politano, and the list goes on). Especially considering the fact that, even though Pierino occasionally hits the jackpot with his punts, his hit/miss ratio remains rather underwhelming.

Palacio is arguably the best player to play for us and not win shit. [...]

That must be Rummenigge, although Palacio definitely ranks high in this particular list.

 

[Irequis]

Tottally unimpressed by this guy. Rodrigo Palacio Vol.2.

If he turns out to be Palacio in 2012, I would gladly swap him with any of our current wingers.

We pay 47.5mil for jomario and he only slight better than both gagli and vecino. The price tag isnt the problem as long as our scout do their job right. Atm madrid spent 60mil amd he is no better than Politano. We could end up in the same path, big spent big risk and think we are not in the state to take huge gambling. Even I doubt we gonna spent 50mil on barella.

 

[Il Drago]

So we sell Perisic and buy De Paul to replace him. And then Keita is maybe bought too? I don't find that some stupid plan.

Totally possible that we still have limited funds in the transfer market so we need to spread the funds to midfield thus can't buy some 60m€ wingers to replace Perisic. We have two LW spots open after this season so we need to fill both of them.

I rather dish the funds to midfield than to wings.

I am afraid we're getting De Paul to replace Keita as we don't intend to redeem him. Of course a Monaco relegation could change things for Keita.

If we sell Perisic in the summer i think we'll probably go for Chiesa. Unless Keita explodes in the second round and he manages to convince our management he's good enough to start for Inter.

 

[varmin]

I think De Paul will be much better behind Icardi instead on the left wing.

 

[abuali]

I think De Paul will be much better behind Icardi instead on the left wing.

i totally agree. De paul is a nice talent and who criticize this move didn't watch him playing enough at udinese

 

[CafeCordoba]

I doubt that we are really going to pay 35m€ for him. Conflicting reports between 18m€ + youngsters and 35m€. Guess the total valuation is 35m€ and the cash part will be 20m€ or less, perhaps?

 

[Universe]

Palacio is arguably the best player to play for us and not win shit. People tend to remember his last season here only, forgetting how good he was before that. If any of te rumored players becomes the player Palacio was when he came, will be awesome.

Palacio was here for 5 seasons. His first season and a half were excellent. But the last time he was at his peak was that derby against Milan where he scored that backheel. That was midway through his second season. He was very mediocre for the 3 and half years after that. He still scored here and there, but those were exceptions amidst vastly more poor matches. He clearly wasn't himself. He was very much like Perisic is now. It's almost unanimously agreed that Perisic has been shit since that hat trick against Chievo. He's still scored 7 goals and 11 assists since then btw but he clearly isn't the player he was, just as Palacio was largely finished 1.5 years into his 5 year Inter career.

 

[thatdude]

Am I the only one who thinks us using our young players to lessen transfer fees is a good thing? If there’s one thing inters proven over the years its that there is no chance we will blood a youngster. I would much rather us sell them while they’re at the height of their market value versus us having them on our books till they’re 27 like Longo. Most of these players won’t turn out to be Inter quality. Using them to sign players who are ready to contribute is how a big team should operate. 18 year olds getting enough playing time to develop is something that rarely happens in top clubs these days, and we don’t have a B team. If we can somehow manage to work in a buyback clause on a deal like the one rumored DePaul than that is good business in my book.

Also if someone wants to start a DePaul thread be my guest

 

[wera]

It's only not good when we give a rival team our crown jewel. Also, kinda wished we kept DiMarco.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah. You have a point.

Drastic example is obviously Zaniolo. We could argue our scouts / Primavera coaches should have done better job detecting his potential and readiness. But, it still doesn't mean had we we kept him and given him same amount of minutes he got at Roma, that we would have been same kind of success like we see now.

It's just so hard to hit it at Inter at young age. One could say we should change that somehow and maybe we should. But I understand this policy we have at the moment. It's because of FFP and SA. We can't pay figures in the market so we need to use kids.

We have buyback clause.

Dimarco is away on loan.
