Newcastle signed Isak for 70m FYI.

Funny how he got dumped by Dortmund after being deemed not good enough only to eventually turnout as one of the leading young strikers on the planet. I fear Orban, Balogun would.suffer the same fate where they to join. We simply don't have the patience or ability to nurture young talent.

We did with Lautaro and Bastoni, why wouldnt we with Orban/balogun?

The mistakes of the past (Coutinho, Kovacic to a degree) does not apply to the current Inter i think. Most of the 'talents' that failed here were just of too low quality anyways.

Those players were both integrated under Conte. Inzaghi does not have any track record with youth development. I can't even give him credit for Dimarco, who was already a regular Serie A contributor for other clubs before returning here.

Neither of those are proven goal scorer. To be a truly proven you at the bare minimum had to show something in a major league, scoring loads of goals in third rated league once dos not make you proven. Loads of players can score 20ish goals in the French, Portuguese and Dutch league, players who will struggle scoring more then 10ish goals in the major 4, that are first and second tire.

Taremi is just to old to learn to play at this level over the cause of 40ish games, he never tried that. It’s simply not comparable to what you can do at third and lower tire leagues.

The same goes for Balogun, who at least is young enough to have time to take it in.




Taremi is not it, inexperienced 31 year old who will most likely flop and then what, we lost 20-30m on the floor, he won’t even be 5mil worth after that.



Obviously not, but Taremi is a massive gamle much bigger then Scamacca. It’s smell heavily of panic trade. We all know how such trades usually turns out.



True, but at least with young players you can regain something with players like Taremi you loose the entire amount you will never get as much as a bend eurocent back, you would need to loan him out until contract expires not to be punished by FFP.

By your definition, any player who is truly proven is out of our budget though. The only player that is truly proven in a Top league that has had multiple 20+ goal seasons who may be on the market is Harry Kane, who would cost 100 million +.

Even if you look at the top 5 leagues, there are only 4 players that have had consecutive 20+ goal season in the last two years - Mbappe, Lewandowski, Haaland, and Lautaro Martinez. People already complain on this forum about Lautaro's finishing, despite him being alongside only 3 other players in terms of scoring 20+ league goals.

With the situation we're in, most players are a risk. Even Scamacca - what if he has another knee injury and misses 90% of next season? It would have been 30 million wasted on a player with huge injuries for the past two seasons.

Taremi is not my first choice, I'd prefer Balogun. However, if Arsenal are truly asking for 50 million or more, I don't know if our management will go for that. That's also a big risk.

Here’s my cause for concern the longer this drags out. Bayern Munich need a starting striker as the Kane transfer isn’t likely to happen at. Once they completely give up on the Kane transfer they’re going to go straight in the market and take the 1st option of what is already a poor looking market.

It could easily end up where we miss out on our 1st option ( Lukaku), 2nd option (Scammaca) and 3rd option whoever that may be

Does Inzaghi have a bad track record with youth development? Failing to develop any great talents that became a huge succes elsewhere? If not, then perhaps he should get the benefit of the doubt instead of immediately dissmissing his ability to do so.

Not having had the opportunity =/= having failed, although that seems like the logic on this site in general when it comes to players and coaches.

Keita Balde had his breakthrough season at age 21 in Inzaghis first season at Lazio btw, left the following season and hes been garbage ever since.
SMS had also just turned 22 when Inzaghi joined Lazio and SMS became a star in the following seasons.

So its not like he has zero experience with players/talents in their early 20's.

He has a non-existent track record of youth development. Even worse than Conte if such a thing were possible.

It is after all Conte used Martinez, Barella, Bastoni and Hakimi Inzaghi would have them setting on the bench at that age.

Right and then evil inzaghi would go home and eat some babies.

Stop posting rubbish, both Keita and SMS had their real breakthrough in inzaghis first full season, both aged 22.

Please tell me what great talents in their early 20's that Inzaghi has neglected to play at Lazio or Inter? And dont say that average joe asslani or ill be forced to ignorelist.

This board seriously baffles the mind at times, with absurd hyperbole conclusions. Inzaghi has only been a coach for 7 seasons, has hardly had any great early 20's players to work with (except the 2 i mentioned, who he did well with), yet he is labelled as someone who cant possibly work with early 20's players and only wants +30 has beens.

I would definitely go for Arnautovic at this point if the price is right. The right kind of profile I'd like to see in our attack.

sure, he can come to be a Correa replacement. His price also better not be over 5M.
