We were linked to Manuel Lazzari today. Not surprising, I was kind of waiting for that link to happen. All I can say is he looked great against us but then again who doesn’t.

Lazzari is a hardcore Milanista so i am not sure he would be willing to join Inter.

Pirlo was an Interista, didn't seem to mind being shipped to Milan and then play for Juventus.
Robeto Baggio was an Interista, yet he played for both Juventus and Milan before coming over.
Franco Baresi was an Interista and he moved to Milan because we claimed he was too weak physically (as a 15 year old).

These things don't matter much.

Like Brehme said, a player tries to choose the best option for himself, most players never get a chance to even play against their childhood club.

Candreva by the way is a known Romanista and that's why he wasn't really welcomed at Lazio initially. Italian media even suggested that he wanted to move to Inter just so that he could transfer to Roma at some point. I don't think they want him though :D

Balotelli is an milanista, oh well.....
it does not matter when a player has reached certain level of maturity and professionalism

I remember Miccoli crying after he scored against lecce. Some players (probably not many) also remain supporters of a club throughout their career.

And they are the ones who never reach their true potential.

So some random full back name again? Lazaro from Hertha Berlin. This club and full backs.

No random name at all considering our Coaches choice. Everyone who watches Hertha BSC knows that Lazaros perfect Position would be the wing back one; he is made for it. Too many defensive liabilities to be a full back and too little of an end product to become an attacking winger. He doesn't say it out loud, but he surely wants to leave, as he is too good for a club like Hertha BSC. They are also probably looking to sell him, because his Departure could Finance the Major part of their Transfer activities. If the Price is right (under 20mln euro) he would certainly be a good signing, as he is Tailor made for Conte's system (as was Schulz for LWB).

In General I would consider moving for a player like Hateboer, Castagne or Lazzari more though. While Lazaros ceiling might be higher (with the exception of Castagne), they already know the Serie A and would Need less time to adjust. Looking at our ambitions though, someone like Meunier should be considered (which is highly unprobable, because of Ausilios Quote regarding him years ago btw.).

Apparently Napoli have agreed a deal with Empoli for Di Lorenzo worth 9.5 million. He's scored 5 goals and assisted 3 this season.

For such a low price why weren’t we looking at him?

SPAL sporting director, Davide Vagnati, confirmed there have been contacts with Inter and Atalanta for Manuel Lazzari.
