Inzaghi is a coach not a manager, so much also depends on how Ausilio and Marotta feel and think about it.
Fact. But Inzaghi wanted more experienced striker while Marotta and Ausilio were keen on younger prospects. You saw who we got at the end.

We had a chance to have one of the best midfields in Europe and definitely best in Italy but we failed to bring Lazo. I dont trust Asslani and Sensi. Just not good enough.

That was literally not because of Inzaghi, it was because of the price of those targets, Inter did not have 50m required for Balogun or where willing to spend plus 30m for a player going through a more serious injury but where also not interested in spending it on a 31 year old.

Arnautovic was a lack of bettet option not because he was really wanted.

Should I post the sublime Asllani pass that Sensi controlled like a demigod to slot in against Red Balls Salzburgo?

Asllani will be a revelation this year. Guy is seriously talented.
Probably talented, yeah. But always seemed like a lateral and back pass kind of guy to me. Anonymous and careful, too scared of mistakes. To succeed he needs loads of more confidence.

He is very young. Also, i am not comparing him to Xavi but he literally made a name for himself by simply passing 2 feet in either direction of him and passing back 90% of the time. Asllani, in his role and considering how young he is, is excellent. Also, he already had a great long ball assist to Sensi in the preseason. I agree with you that i'd love to see him do that more and play with more confidence.

My issue with him is more on the physical side and also the tactical.

Technically he is very good and it's why we've gone for him, but he's slow and doesn't feel like he can cover much space. He has the itch to advance forward but if he plays regista he needs to move laterally as well, with and without the ball, ot just pass there.

Tactical element can be improved to compensate this, but he's more of a liability (if used for significant minutes) than an asset as things stand.

You are probably right. His lack of physical attributes contributes to this perception that he lacks bite going forward.

I don't know if I want either Asllani or Mkhi starting in the middle - because these would be the only two choices for that position. Even if we do sell Hakan (which I doubt), there is NOBODY that we could get - or better said - afford to fill that position.

Unless Hakan says he wants out, don't sell. Unless if a player like Agoume steps up and becomes the player we always hoped, naaaah. Bad idea. Brozo isn't here anymore.

Di marzio - concrete attempt for Samardzic. Lazio want to insert Basic as a counterpart
