We don't have balls for this type of deal.

 

[Meysam]

Taremi 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.

I have been watching him since he used to play for the club named 'Piroozi' (now 'Persepolis') in Iran, as well as in the Iranian national team. So, don't try to tell me he is worth 30 million euros.
But it's not only because of this, the most important thing about him is that most Iranians hate him because he is among the minority who support the Iranian regime, which has killed over 500 people since last year. I don't want to see this bastard wearing my club's kit because I believe values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights are more important than football or anything in the world.

get balotelli and end this shit

 

[Corrode]

Our 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.

you really suggest Inter board to waste 30 M for a 31 years old footballer and never plays in serie a?

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

I earlier said that 30m is way too much. I hope we can get him much cheaper, maybe 23 millions or so.

My post was an answer to the allegations that he is crap.

He might be, but he is too old and too old for not having any top league experience, doesn’t matter how good he theoretically is. The financial state of Inter should fundamentally mean paying 20ish million for players in this age group should not even be considered, let alone one who never played top level football in a top league.

Then please explain Frattesi, Samardzic, Bisseck and Thuram!

These trades tell an entire different story, a story that the team is building up rather then being just competitive. Do notice these players replace experienced players such as Brozovic, Skriniar and Dzeko/Lukaku!

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.

It’s the other way around, we are actually rational as we look at the financial realities, the reality is the financial situation of this club is poor, so talking about championship and making investment on players you can only loose money on simply isn’t taking into account the poor financial situation Inter is in.

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!

He might be, but your missing the whole point, that players needs to have resale value, because that is currently the state of the club who cannot purchase without selling. If you purchase players you cannot sell you eventually cannot buy.

I am also against Iran regime and am saddened to know he is for it.

I am sorry, but I cannot trust your objectivity when it comes to assessing him purely as a player, given your understandable hate for him.

who the hell is this guy?

someone willing to watch 10min youtube compilation and insist that he is a sure thing and great deal?

He's the real deal. Super talented striker who has got it all imo. Great shot, bravery, crazy in the head in a good way - like if he sees a way to shoot at the goal, he'll do it. I saw him shoot a kick-off against the fucking bar. It would've been a puskas goal for sure. He's good with his head for not a tall guy. Free kicks, link up play, speed, ... But for 20m we should be able to get him.

Phenomenon, but David also was great for Ghent. So, maybe the step to Serie A might be too big, but he got it for sure.

This gamble I could subscribe to. With both hands.

 

[CoolMan44]

I am very curious as to what the management decides on. It seems that Inzaghi was stuck on Morata and willing to compromise on Scamacca (based on reports - no idea if this is true). It seems that Morata's ship has sailed, so the options seem to be Balogun, Taremi, and Beto? Inzaghi likes experienced players so he would probably pick Taremi. Taremi is actually more expensive than Morata though. If management was not willing to invest 21 million in Morata why would they invest 30 million in Taremi?

Although there is always the potential of Zapata. I liked him in the past but he seems way too injury prone now. He's only a potential Correa replacement. I wonder why Dia is not on the list when Beto is... fits our team better imo and not much of a difference in price.

Orban actually is phenomenal. The past half year he scored for fun, really beautiful goals too. I thought he would be more expensive. Don’t see it happening tho.

I don't disagree at all with what you're saying. But I also believe keeping football about football and to not mix it with politics etc.

Now let's waste some more time with our dicks in our hands till this guy is out of our reach too. This is your guy Inter. Get him!

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

From the clips Orban looks much more dynamic, explosive, exciting, aggressive and special than Balogun.

My only concern is that the step might be too big, but then again, he's crazy confident.

It ends up being a great gamble or we loan him out next year. Either way, we won't lose crazy wages on him such as we'd do with Zapata/Taremi/Morata.

Nor would we have to keep hassling with Arsenal for Balogun...

20m + 10% sell on clause should do the trick.
