More like Skriniar (if he is fit) - De Vrij -Acerbi with Darmian as rwb. If Skriniar isn't fit, then it will be Darmian - De Vrij -Acerbi with Dumfries starting on the right.

Fuck. Rather start Dumfries and let him run up and down for 60 minutes than put him at the end of the game and fuck up the game

Not a common opinion but... sell him. As Bastoni still has relatively low salary, we could still get a lot on transfer fee. Otherwise in his next contract he would want a raise e.g. 7m or 8m. The buyer would prefer to let his contract run out and get him free. A Skriniar-bis would still happen not now, but later.

We have to face the fact that Inter is not a powerhouse anymore as long as Suning is in charge. We dont even have zero budget, but worse, have to sell to survive every year. It's better to operate like a selling club properly instead of half-ass solution i.e. paying for players at a top-club scale but in the meantime has no fund left for transfers, free grandpas here and there to fill the gaps.

Well, there's your issue. We are unable to operate like a selling club because we are unable to identify/afford upcoming talent.

Also because if you sell Bastoni for 60m, you'll be allowed to reinvest 10m. Which will go straight on Acerbi's price tag and wages, and then Marotta will say "we've put together a Scudetto winning squad" while piling shit on Inzaghi/De Zerbi/Motta/Whatever moron will take the job.

What's the point of keeping the current scouting team if we cannot identify talents?

Btw what you just said is the stonewall definition of a half ass solution. We (Marotta Ausilio and co.) should make it clear to Zhang, if you don't invest please be aware that the target should be proportional. Stop spamming title slogans, no ifs or buts, because asking for the best with no material is simply bullshit. Or they just quit.

Suning reminds me of my old Chinese boss... he asked me to work on metaverse with limited internet connection ffs :lol: no jokes here.

How did you come up with this conclusion?

For Marotta quiting is not an option here.
For Ausilio I guess so, but he's seen shit and good times and he's an Interista so I guess he just wants to stick around no matter what.

Someone may get upset by that :D
I think most of us who've worked with Chinese have similar experiences actually.

We shouldn't pay 6m net to him and we won't. And Bastoni and Tinti will accept less.

It's understandable tho. There is no money for Bastoni after extending De Vrij for 4m a season.
:LOL: I thought the club is letting Skriniar walk so they can extend Bastoni.

Bastoni currently earns €2.8m per season and has reportedly demanded through his agent Tullio Tinti to double his wages, reaching circa €5.5m per season. On the other hand, Inter are unwilling to offer more than €4m-a-year, so if Bastoni doesn’t sign a new contract within June, ‘nothing can be excluded’ in the summer, claims Gazzetta.

Beppe Marotta will meet the player’s representative again soon. A first meeting took place in December, but the two parties didn’t even talk about Bastoni’s potential new salary. Matteo Darmian, another client of Tinti, has recently extended his contract with Inter.

Chelsea are Manchester City are closely monitoring the situation. Pep Guardiola is said to be an admirer of Bastoni, while Chelsea emerged as an option for the 23-year-old last summer before Romelu Lukaku’s return to the Stadio Meazza.

Give him 5M and get it done. He won`t accept less after that De Vrij extension :palm:

For me, we only have to look across the city. Thiaw, Kalulu, Vranckx, Ballo-Toure probably cost Milan about 5/6m combined, but I'm sure they'd be able to sell them on for 5m+ each.

We appear to be simply incapable of doing anything like that - finding somewhat decent, unknown players at low cost. Asllani was 14m (and doesn't play), Bellanova would cost 7m and he's terrible, Bastoni cost 30 odd million, Onana was known globally, Lautaro cost 20m, etc. etc.

We appear to wait for a player to be completely out of our price range or utterly overpriced before making a move. And even if we identify them, as apparently every damn player in the world was on Ausilio's list before going somewhere else, we don't get them!

Our squad is old, our owners are broke, and our management is either out of ideas or has objectively horrible ones. So selling Bastoni or not selling Bastoni seems to be a moot point, we're gonna be ass regardless until Suning leaves.

The issue isn't identifying talents. The Inter scouts identify the talent. They don't have the final say. They can recommended the player to ausilio but doesn't matter when either Zhang's no budget or beppe's no serie a experience will scupper any deal.

I don't see how that is on the scouting department. The buying decision is up to beppe not them.

5.5 is reasonable IMO. But even having a so-so season, Bastoni is worth more than the 4m he’d be getting offered if the rumours are anything to go by. Frankly, I’d almost be insulted if I were him. He’s an Interista and he’ll stay for less but within reason.

€4 million raising per year was ok till the idiots offered de vrij €4 million. No one I am accepting the same deal as de vrij if I am bastoni.
