Would be a shame to lose Carboni. Then on the other hand, maybe there would be a buyback clause inserted.

That way we would be able to monetize the plusvalenza of our academy player relatively big time (if the valuation would be 20-25m).

We would reap the benefits of plusvalenza now and then pay it back later bit by bit (if we buy him back).

Gudmundsson is obviously a player who would be probably giving us more now than Carboni. But we need to focus on club-trained players soon to be able to have a proper squad (for CL).

I for one don’t really rate Gudmundsson for a club like us. I do think he’s a good player tho. But a club like Lazio should be his ceiling.

We do need someone we should challange Thuram and give Lautaro a rest sometimes. Gudmundsson isn’t starter material for a club like us. Better save those 30 mln in that case.

Don't disagree but unfortunately, just like last season, we don't have any serious options that we can afford.

The likes of Balogun, Scamacca etc shouldn't have been discussed and only Morata was kind of worth looking at but not at that price and salary. It won't look better this summer.

I'm not too convinced with Gudmundsson either. We need a legitimate forward who can bury those wasted chances in the CL.

Yeah. We're not in a position to buy a striker really worthy of us from the market.

Gotta find that new jackpot like Thuram, but it's hard to keep finding these.

I think Gudmundsson would help us in Serie A for certain. But he's not your CF.

I agree that we need someone. But imo it’s a case of someone worthy or no one for this kind of money.

I do’t think Gudmundsson is worth those 30-35 mln, as he isn’t a significant upgrade on Arnautovic, Alexis or Taremi. Plus he is a real risk. Like Correa was. If we can buy him for 15 mln or something, sure. But 30-35 mln? Hell no.

I indeed think we must seek that new jackpot like Thuram or save the money for when we can buy someone worthy.

yeah Gudmundsson is not exactly what you dream off, certainly not for that sort of money.

I don't see us spending 30m in cash on this player. But as he's in Italy, we have other currency for this kind of operations.

Are these questions considering that Džeko isn't as fast as Thuram, especially now? Maybe he wouldn't even get a chance to potentially score. Maybe he would've scored a hat-trick. Maybe we wouldn't reach R16 with Džeko instead of Thuram.

So many variables that it doesn't matter really.

The bold sentence will repeats itself eternally every summer if we spend only for the sake of buying "something better than nothing".

Our budget is 25m or whatever, not enough for a good enough striker? Okay, save that 25m, plus 25m next summer then we gotta find budget for a worthy striker.

Now simply give chance to our kids instead. With three experienced strikers already that wouldn't be that much of a stretch and forced riping.

I understand that might be better for the kid career at a smaller club instead. But if that prevents Inter from another overpriced mediocre, so be it.

Other options would be finding a gem through scouting and relations like Lautaro or reviving an old veteran which Inzaghi seems to excel at.

Yeah, but thing the thing with the scouting angle is it takes years to nurture the talent like it went with Lautaro.

The second option of reviving an old veteran, much more credible. :D

In general Inter is not a place to nurture talents, as the target is to win trophies, constantly.

I don't think Inter would buy Zirkzee even they sold Thuram.

Stop repeating that like a broken record. 🤖

Clubs with more trophies and more chances of winning titles than us use youngsters.

Gudmundsson had a hat trick vs Israel.
I don't care what is happening in those national teams. JM, Marko Pjaca, Renato Sanchez, Gary Medel, and many others looked so good in their national team, but in reality they are nothing special.

Yes, other clubs. But I didn't talk about other clubs. I talked about Inter and Inter is not like those clubs.

Have those guys scored 10 goals (and 3 assists) in Serie A in 27 games? They have not. I would say Gudmundsson has looked very good in Serie A this season.
