It gets worse by the day…. This smells heavily of panic actions.
If Inter purchase a 31 year old player with one year left on the contract for 2/3 the price of Scamacca and about half that of Balogun, they are more incompetent then I thought possible.

Milito joined Inter at 30 years for a price of 28mln. Euro 14 years ago. Just to put things into perspective.
Taremi is the striker to go for first, and maybe a second talented one in exchange for our favorite Correa.

10 years of FIF
FIF Special OnesI actually think Taremi makes sense as long as he’s not coming for a ridiculous price. 31 isn’t a terrible age for a center forward, especially if they’re professional and look after themselves. It wouldn’t be the worst thing to have one player in their prime in our forward department. Lautaro and Thurman are just entering theirs but 30-33 is usually the peak for players in that position these days. I also like that he’s a volume goal scorer. I know it’s Portugal but he’s also done it at Champions League level and international level.
The fact he made it to Europe late doesn’t really concern me. He is from Iran, it’s not exactly a hotbed for scouts. The fact he made it to this level at all tells me more than him making it late.

I'm not sure, this just feels riskier than usual (actually, all of the current options sucks in terms of both quality and price for me).
Is he a good striker? It appears so, but it reminds me of Falcão and Jackson Martinez, who were lethal at Porto but were unable to replicate their form thereafter.

10 years of FIFAtletico Madrid Falcao is a monster
Inter where not concerned about the things they are now, they also at large completely ignored the financial aspect and sold out of the clubs future for here and now glory… While it was fun while it lasted, the effect of it also meant financial hangovers for decades to come, it turned the club for a time into a mid-table to sub top team for 6 years and we are still battling the consequences of those actions even today. We would not be in the situation we are in today had it not been for the financial mismanagement of the past.
Also the club didn’t have to be concerned about FFP
So are you really suggesting we go back to the old virtues and not think of the longterm effects. Every money spend should be seen as investment, you invest in players you expect you can sell on with profit that is the financial state of Inter.

When Taremi used to play in the iran league, there was a joke about him which was like "In Iran, we should bring the name 'Taremi' into our vocabulary and from now on, instead of saying 'ruining important and sensitive situations in life,' let's say 'Taremira'."
This indicate how much he was terrible when he was playing in the iran league.
for god's sake no.

Yeah I think that having Lauti, Thuram, and a third young player would enable us having someone like Taremi who wouldn’t join as a profit investment, but more as a scoring guarantee.
Now, the argument with him missing the games mentioned is a really good one. I missed that. This is the reason I also opposed to buying Dia, as he will miss games die to Africa Cup.

If Udinese’s Beto is a real target then Inter should consider Leicester city’s Iheanacho who apparently is in his final year of contract. He is about the same age and probably can be purchased for less and wages would be more affordable with that growth decree tax incentive.

10 years of FIFTaremi is way better than people think. I could describe how strong his all around game is, but I’ll let stats speak for him.
During his time at Porto, Taremi has crazy 88 goal contributions in 84 starts. He was the top scorer of Portuguese league last season and by some margin the best striker in the league. More goals, assists, man of the match performances and higher average rating than second best Gonçalo Ramos.
Last season he scored 5 and assisted 2 in 7 CL games. He was twice MotM and his average rating was 7.5. Mbappe and Haaland were the all stars strikers at avg rating of 7.6.
Stats are just stats. But what makes them even more impressive is that he is not just one to finish moves. On the contrary, he is the focal point of Porto attacks. He is good passer and holds up the ball well. He wins duels and plays for the team. Apparently he is also a very decent and professional person these days and if this is the case, player with his strengths and characteristics can easily play on top until like 35.
This is the last time I post about him. Feel free to rather go with the knee-jerk reaction against signing some 31 year dude from Iran.

10 years of FIFOur main goal is to be competitive right now. Player in the mould of Taremi is the missing piece of that puzzle. Deal with it. Even if Balogun was good, he would not bring the needed extra dimension to our attack.
I fully sympathise with people who get more excited about young prospects than 31 year old Taremi. But we cannot afford to me too romantic, we have to be rational.
Oh, forgot to add that his fitness and health is superb. During his three years with Porto, he’s missed exactly ONE game and that was because of Corona virus!
As mentioned in another thread: even if we signed Taremi, we would have had replaced 37 and 30 year old strikers with 31 and 26 year old ones. Age structure would still be very healthy.
