Alexis Sanchez

[Luka]

His price was 25m€, probably even more if Inter had seriously offered anything close to that. 25m€ is too much for Inter.

Is it?

We paid 18 mln for a 21 year old central deffender.

I think we can spend serious money, if MM sees a point to it(meaning, if there is someone really tallented in this case).

25 mln for a winger, is deffinetly less than 18mln for a center back, if we adjust the typical prices paid for center backs, and wingers.

25m€ for a player means that winger will be an instant hit and a starting player for the team. To me Ranocchia was way much more sure thing that what Sanchez would be. Attacking players must meet certain demands to excel at Inter and I'm not sure at all Sanchez would do that at Inter. I think our management thinks the same way and that's why they didn't invest on Sanchez this January.

 

[Luka]

Cafe you're twisting the case here a little

You've said:

"25m€ is too much for Inter."

You didn't say "25m€ is too much for Inter, on a player who is not considered worthy by our management for the future"

 

[CafeCordoba]

Well, I think people can read that from that sentence as it was said in Sanchez thread.

 

[Luka]

?? It is Sanchez thread man

In anyway, you're saying 25 mln is too much for Inter. My argument is this:

Deffenders are worth less than attackers, that's just how it is in football market. If we have the frog, who ain't exactly Nesta now, but has a good pottential, and we were ok paying 18 mln for him, than why 25mln would be too much for an attacker, who we would also consider with a good pottential? Sounds right to me.

It's not like, 18 mln is the top for us, whether it's a deffender, or midfielder, or a forward. It's normal, that offensive players cost more, so if we were ok with putting that much on a promising deffender, I'm sure we would be ok putting more on a promising winger.

Ranocchia will be 23 next week

 

[perika]

its not only to be in big team sucs Inter ,same player want to Play not to warm bench ))

 

[n4l]

guess he's trying to impress some english folk, because they are the only ones who'd spend big (stupid) money on him like they all did this january transfer window

 

[blackmore]

Ranocchia will be 23 next week

I understand your point about attackers > defenders when it comes to price, but that is not the point here in this discussion.

I'm saying that Sanchez costs too much for Inter given his ability and quality. And the reality also speaks for that since we didn't get Sanchez for 25m€. You can think whatever you want about Inter's ability and willingness to pay transfer fees. But so far it looks we are not willing to pay 25m€ for an promising attacker. And we didn't pay 18m€ for Ranocchia. Half of Destro is going to Genoa for ~5m€ (and that unspecified youngster) so in cash we paid around 6,5m€ + 6-6,5m€ which makes it under 15m€ in cash.

And about that valuation of different positions. 25m€ for winger is less than 18m€ for CB, okay, noted. But Why would someone pay 18m€ for CB? Because that CB has enormous potential. So, it would require that winger to have at least big potential (not enormous since 25m for wing was less than 18m for CB) so that the valuations would be equal. Clearly our managed didn't evaluate Sanchez to the same category in terms of potential as Ranocchia, since they didn't invest that 25m€ on him.

Maybe in the summer they will if Sanchez keeps racking up goals and assists and that way show some backup for his potential. But that is a totally different story then (I don't believe it will happen though).

 

[Hasan]

With this formation he isn't needed.

:thumbsup:

How much we paid for the first 50%?

How much we paid in january for the other 50%?

Cafe you're still arguing against something I didn't start arguing agains.

Lets go back ok?

His price was 25m€, probably even more if Inter had seriously offered anything close to that. 25m€ is too much for Inter.

I just commented on this underlined line. That's it! I never intended to discuss whether Sanchez is worth 25mln, or not, yet here you spent great part of your post, completely for nothing. I'm not interesting in discussing that.

I was only trying to point out, that if we're willing to spend much for a promising deffender, than I'm sure we can spent a relative sum of money for a promising winger.

 

[CafeCordoba]

I repeat

Well, I think people can read that from that sentence as it was said in Sanchez thread.

I was talking about Sanchez. That 25m€ is too much for Inter for a player like Sanchez's ability and quality. Now can you understand this?

 

[minterke]

Biabiany is a winger. Quaresma is a winger. Valencia is a winger.

Sanchez is a complete attacker.

 

[Roberto]

agreed. I feel like alot of people are underestimating his game and potential. He has lightning speed, great dribbling, he connects well with his teammates. If you've watched him play this season he has been playing alot more centrally this year and has been very dangerous. His goal scoring and play making abilities have improved. Just look at the 2-0 goal di natale scored this weekend. Sanchez with a blistering run down the middle and a nice through ball for toto.

We need to move on and forget about the quaresmas, van der meydes and kily gonzales's of our past. This guy is worth the money and can still improve. You have to take risks to succeed in the transfer market and i don't see sanchez flopping.

 

[snake]

damn last two posts in this thread from my boys berto and mike? Shit just got real! end the motherfucking thread!

Nah seriously...you could see why our club is interested in this guy. Shame Udinese are doing typical Italian job of trying to steal extra millions off us. I personally think we have an agreement with the agent that we will resume talks in June...but that was before these amazing last 5 games, so now expect Chelski, Barca and Manure to be involved too.

 

[Luka]

I repeat

I was talking about Sanchez. That 25m€ is too much for Inter for a player like Sanchez's ability and quality. Now can you understand this?

Yes... NOW . I understand it now cause you made it very clear, NOW. I didn't know what you meant before. Couldn't you say it like 5, or 7 or whatever posts earlier? You know, at the beginning?

Ok, case closed.

ps. Just a small correction. This 25mln that is too much for Inter for "a player like Sanchez's ability and quality", this is according to you

 

[skeet]

if sanchez keeps this form until the summer i would be willing to fork out 20m + players for him, but the question is if he will be able to play this insanely good until the summer which i doubt he will

 

[Pajo]

Well, he started to play well when the roumors of him going to inter started flying around... Sometimes i think he is reading this forum lol

Jokes aside, before october/november he has been average, by my stanrads. BUT... Since than he has good or great games, never underperformed. I still dont think he is worth 30 mils (the last asking prise from Pozzo), but his prise is definitelly rising. Hate him or love him, you've got to admit he is on fire, scoring AND asisting for fun lately. Maybe that is due to Udineses form as a team (Asamoah, Di Natale, Isla, Zapata, Handanovic, Inler) all play great, who knows, the time is the only factor that will show. Before this years, his end producs has been alot below average, but that has canged now, at least is changing.

We will see how he performs. I am not one of his biggest fans, but if he maintain this form till the end of this year, he will definitelly prove many of us wrong for saying he aint worth over 15...

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

My opinion of him is slowly changing, he is playing very well at the moment. Still, I need to watch him more and evaluate if he could play well in 4-3-1-2 type of formation. I know some of you tell he is a complete attacker. I'd still rather have Sneijder as an attacking midfielder and Eto'o and another top striker as forwards. Him fitting in is a real issue.
