I think it can be easy to mistake a striker at a small club for a poacher given that they often see very little of the ball, but I would agree that he definitely isn't a poacher

I don't think Pinamonti future at Inter is safe if Ausilio continues at Inter. We need a director with a substantially better eye for talent. Ausilio is the worst when it comes to spotting talent or even appreciating it. Zhang the father and the son should realize that the longer this idiot keeps his job, the longer it takes for the real Inter to come back.

Ausilio is the guy who brought Pinamonti at Inter from Chievo when he was 14 years old.
He's also the guy who brought Zaniolo at Inter when he was 16 years old.
And Mulattieri.
And Pompetti.
And Emmers.
And pretty much 90% of the youth players we have had since 2000 which included Oba Martins, Mario Balotelli, Goran Pandev, Giovanni Pasquale, Mattia Destro, Alfred Duncan, Assane Gnoukouri, Marco Benassi, Cristiano Biraghi, Federico Dimarco etc.
Since his promotion a lot of the work is shared with Roberto Samaden of course.

He also tried to get Immobile as a kid but was rejected. And also Fabregas was poached by Ausilio when he was 16 but his parents preferred to move him to London also because Wenger promised he'd put him in the first team within a season.

Ausilio is probably the best Italian 'scout' at judging talents. Just because we want to sell the players he gets because our strategy is non-existent and we only want to help coaches' short term ambitions doesn't make him useless. If anything, without Ausilio we'd probably never see Champions League football this decade after the Branca era.

It's also funny how people blame him for getting Vidic (which was 100% Thohir) or for giving up a player he didn't want to give up in Zaniolo, for the Nainggolan deal that Spalletti insisted upon at all costs. And many more.

Ausilio is the guy who wants to build a team out of Primavera products but has said despite this dream of his, he has to be pragmatic and acknowledge that players get sacrificed for short term goals.

Out of all listed I see only bargaining chips. No world class talent ever emerged from our academy. You're throwing names like they have some extreme weight and value - they don't. When it comes comes to actual transfers, the ones that are going to take the field he's thrown millions out the window. Most of our transfers are expensive, inadequate and almost always don't work out at all. At all. From Dalbert, to Vecino, to Politano and Keita. We got extremely lucky to have unearthed, by chance most of all players like Icardi and Skriniar over those years. Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

I prefer Tare and Sabatini than Ausilio.

This guy is responsible for useless player at Inter.

Give 5 years to Sabatini or Tare. I am sure 1000% we can back to CL faster than Ausilio did.

Can you name me an Italian team that produced world class players and played them?

As for 'actual transfers', Ausilio is not the one pulling the trigger, he's just one of many that take part in the negotiations but for you guys he seems like the only scapegoat, as if he is the decision maker and the mastermind...

Ausilio took us back to the Champions League in the fourth full season of being charge with an indebted club that wasn't allowed to make transfers and on top of that, a new ownership that spent 100m one summer when it wasn't allowed to, which also hindered whatever progress was being made. That shouldn't get underrated. And it's ironic that he managed to get to CL with the first coach selection he has made in his role.
Mazzarri was already there, Mancini was wanted by Thohir, Frank de Boer was Suning's selection, whilst Pioli was perhaps the first choice of Ausilio to recover the season but was never considered a permament manager. And after Spalletti who was 100% Ausilio's choice, we have hired Antonio Conte, a 100% Marotta choice. So you cannot really consider that Ausilio has some sort of unlimited decision making power.

Igli Tare finished top 3 only once in his career at Lazio, which was 6 seasons after taking over. His role is different to Ausilio's nonetheless.

Sabatini never completed a full season at Inter and was responsible for bringing Dalbert (who of course Ausilio suggested but as an 8m target). But I agree that he is one of the best in Italy and possibly could have been a better option in 2014, but that's when his work at Roma started kicking in, it was unrealistic.

We should have gone for Pierpaolo Marino instead and leave Ausilio in charge of the youth sector, but what's done is done. Just don't blame people for things that aren't their fault. It's not too much to ask. I've been seeing people blame Ausilio for Vidic, Gabriel Barbosa and Nainggolan all the time which is just wrong.

Tare would be a lot better. I don' want one nationality to be in control of the process of choosing players or selling them.

Ah, the dilation of responsibility. Who is the one to blame then? Or it's multiple people, that's bs. Someone has to take responsibility, maybe we're in that shit state cause nobody actually does.

As for talents, hey, look, we'll be splashing like 50M on Barella or 70 on Chiesa. When was the last time we had a decent talent we acquired at a young age that exploded?

And please don't tell me there's no development at inter, if you're good or at least better than the rest you'll see the field. The likes of gagliardini are just mediocre, it's not that we somehow suffocate their talent - there isn't that much of it to begin with.

And you're saying yourself "Ausilio is the one who gave us CL football" but then you say we shouldn't use him as a scapegoat cause there's many people that make the decisions? Take a fucking side, will you? Or your argument depends on your mood and the lunar cycles.

Balotelli comes to mind. Over 10 years ago.
More recently I'd argue Icardi, Kovacic, Brozovic and Skriniar. Depends what you mean by young of course. If you mean a teenager, then the list is very thin of course. But it's also very thin for Juventus, Milan, Napoli, Roma, Lazio etc. If you mean by players u23 then it's not that bad but should have been much better, but if you check the ratio of success and failure, we're doing quite well compared to the other Italian teams.

It is also arguable that Biraghi and Benassi's valuation is much higher now as well. They were supposed to be part of our first team at some point.

We tried to go that way with the likes of Juan Jesus, Ranocchia, Taider, Belfodil, later on with players like Murillo, Karamoh or Barbosa... It usually does not work. There's too much pressure at Inter and our best seasons in history usually come with experienced players that can handle the pressure, occasionally after learning with failure earlier on.

As for the final part, Ausilio took us back to the Champions League because he managed to get us profit in the books for the kids he invested in and selected. They were deemed good enough by other teams to inflate their prices if you wish. And that got us back in the Champions League partially. The other thing that got us into the Champions League was Spalletti. A choice made by Ausilio. Nothing to do with the moon or the sun, it's just facts.

With the league and champions why not keep him.

If he was from argentina or braZil we would give a shot, high wages and chances. Not to mention spent 20-35 million on him

I can’t help but ask if Ausilio is such a good scout (which he isn’t) and great using the smallest possible amount to acquire the best players why isn’t Arsenal, Tottenham or Liverpool after him? In my opinion, he is the most corrupt director, he sells our young players for peanuts and buys over expired players and even coaches at great prices and offer them crazy wages and long contracts.

Arsenal was after him actually this year when it was clear that Marotta did not want him around. Others with influence in the club wanted to keep him, so he stayed.

I guarantee they would also be given shit by fans. They would also be overpaying for players. It's not like Ausilio is a shopaholic bitch who don't count money. It's because sellers see us "big spender" thanks to whom?

With Marotta I hope we slowly get rid of that reputation...

I think it's not only up to Ausilio or Branca but to whole Inter's scouting organisation. During Moratti's era, Inter could afford to buy one of the best players and talents in the world. For that, you don't need great scouting skills. In the next moment the table turns and the club has very tiny budget and almost full squad for replacement. So, the failure was written all over it.
It's easy to put the blame on Aids based only on transfer hisrory but that won't be correct. Do you recall when Mancini said he'll resign if the club don't buy Kondogbia? The mngmt agreed the operation and Ausilio made it happen. Where is his fault there? Where is his fault when Suning trusted to Kia for JM and Barbosa? N9, Vecino, Valero? All required by Spalletti. You can argue that Aids could haven't gotten these players but others instead. Ok, he actually did it before. Lajic, Jovetic, Banega, Shaquiri. Good players but didn't fit in coach's plans therefore got sold.
As Brehme says, Ausilio made wonders clearing FFP mainly with sales of primavera players. We didn't sale an important player since his appointment alike Roma for example.
He is not the best sporting director out there but definitely shoudn't be used as a scapegoat.

Honestly the major club in Italy that does a best job promoting their own youth players is Milan. They're just absolutely clueless in every other sporting aspect these days. Calabria, Cutrone, and Donnarumma were successfully integrated into the first team while teenagers and are all above average players. (Well, maybe not Cutrone)

I am not blaming ausllio nor i am prasing him

He is very good at getting a specific task done with limited resource (FFP/acquiring players coach wanted etc).

However he lacks of power and strong character which could never make him a leader that can carry the team and turn the thing around.

Thats why suning is going for sabatini and marotta. they want a leader with a strong character.

So far we haven’t seen anything that shows bringing Marotta was worthwhile. Only tough words but nothing else.

We got Conte. That is a major plus in my opinion.

He picked up a knee injury and is out of the U21 squad, no further details at the moment.

Unlucky.
