oak tree might be able to find a hidden gem in defense but if they think they’re gonna get a 5 million hidden gem under 25 forward they’re on the finest of crack. The worst part of this all is we have one of the most well known and recognized directors in all of football and even he can’t break these Oaktree assholes. Oaktree were willing to toss away 30 mil on a possibly convicted rapist if Correa left. Watch Correa leave and that 30 mil will be poof gone. Just like post Covid under Zhang. Thank god for our pre Covid business under Zhang and Suning because that and free transfers are keeping this shit show alive.

Other ideas = keeping Joaquin Correa

What a surprise… still people want a player who clearly is a poor fit, will demand way too much for a rotational player and don’t have the age in his advantage.

Oaktree idea certainly isn’t getting less wind in its sail after Juve winning with much younger side. Somehow it’s almost a delight seeing them refuse every single player in this age group and force our hand to sign younger players

"Dybala is the not kind of profile they are interested in" is a mind-boggling sentence to read. I can only imagine they mean in terms of salary, because a player like Dybala is exactly what's missing.

Dybala is injury plagued, on top you can add that he put forward unrealistic high wage demand, that he simply put is just to old for any owner who want to build a project.

He is of those reasons just of no interest to us but in fact a lot of teams.

I simply don’t get why people even want him, it’s the pseudo reality we seen with Sanchez last summer or back in the days with Recoba where people hoped for something that was never going to be.

Definition of a damaged goods player. Thank god we never went for him... You'll have to be prime messi and ronaldo level of quality for this shit to be sustainable and worth it. No wonder roma wants him out.

And with Dybala (like with Chiesa), comes the big salary demands and commissions to the agent. Roma would like to get rid of the player because they made a deal that his salary will bump up automatically when he plays x amount of games this season.

Not quite. I’m accordance with Oaktree’s corporate Values and Beliefs, we are pursuing Mercato goals with ESG and DEI in mind.
What that means is, we need to sign not just a young forward, but ideally a young ethnic minority forward. Unfortunately those white bastards Correa and Arnautobitch are blocking this.
Oaktree also have big plans for the women’s team, which is disgustingly filled with biological females.

In my opinion the biggest reason to not go for Dybala is his age. He will be 31 in november. The days of paying transfer fee's (and high salaries on top of that in some cases) for 30+ needs to end, unless its a for a player that could potentially mean the difference to win the CL or something and Dybala surely wont Inter a real CL contender.

Its a proven money drain. Obviously his injury tendencies only makes it worse, as players often injury easier with age.

Unless its the missing piece of a puzzle to achieve something extraordinary, players above 30 years of age should only be signed for free in favourable salary/sign-on fee deals.

I would also advocate to be more open to selling our star players when they reach that age. We have a quite a few examples of star players we should have sold around that age, but instead kept and got nothing or much less for. Most of all from the treble team, but also a player like Perisic, though i believe he was abit younger when he first wanted to go. If this club had been better at selling when the price was high in the past, instead of hanging on to them untill they are finished, surely the club would be a better spot financially today and the 'darkages' period of the 10's would likely have been shorter.

Its an unpopular opinion here, but i would have tried to ship out Hakan this summer, considering he has decent value, due to his good season. Ofcourse there has to be some concrete interest as well, but seeing as we slammed the door to the idea of him leaving in the media, any semi-interested party probably withdrew right there.

Inter almost only sells stars when shit is hitting the fan and they absolutely needs to, thats not good business. To regularly get good younger signings each summer, some players has to leave and here is were the club should be more open to look at aging stars, who still has a good value, but who is clearly nearing a downwards trajectory in terms of value due to their age and try to sell them.

Define DEI) I heard that somewhere.

So who would have replaced Perisic? The guy was literally player of the season for us in his last season here. Who is going ti replace Hakan an bring his quality to the pitch?

By selling our stars we also risk not qualyfying for CL and we would become nowhere near a better financial spot and also not as a trademark nor interesting project for good players

Yeah, we're not doing this here.

Who would replace them? Odd question, obviously whoever the club would have chosen to reinvest the money in, thats the entire essence here. Point still is that we allow too many players to either run out their contracts or sell them after their value has dropped alot.

Im pretty sure selling Hakan wouldnt make or break us qualifying for the CL, almost regardless who we reinvest the money in either way.

Strictly moving out 30+ stars for good value and reinvesting in younger players with potential to increase in value is simply smart business, especially for a club like Inter who doesnt have some sugardaddy owner and who is in awful financial state. Allowing older players to drop dramatically in value or letting their contract out is basically money wasted that could have been reinvested and something this club cant afford tbh.

Where’s Todd Boehly? He’d sign 5 more

 

[Pravesh]

I will be hoping until the last minute of Mercato for us to sell our 2 unwanted strikers and sign a quality one.

He’s also on youth drug, he doesn’t want old men.
