If you opened the link, it was dated to early hours of today. So most probably it was yesterday when he gave that interview.

Cassano has around 20 mil. release clause in his contract. It will take a bit longer than usual but I think our management can pay Sampdoria something around 10-15 mil. plus some players.

My prediction we'll sign Cassano within the next 10 days or so, just in time for Super Cup.

I would be happy if we sign Cassano for 18 millions, if or we make deal 13 millions + Rivas + loan of Suazo, really now we need this player, sure he will improve our attack with his experience. Like some of members said he is proud interista, let's take him with Inter and he should be champion with us :)

I will consider this the first real link between Inter and Cassano.

Good. Now there's 1% hope.

I would say it's more than 1% for several reasons:
1) They invited Inter to start negotiations;
2) They're interested in Mancini
3) Mourinho wants to sign Cassano

Are u among pessimistic nominees for FI oscars?!! I think it is very likely that we sign him. More than 90% chance!

If we get Cassano than we would have a really strong team. Without him it's probably still better than last year with the inclusion of Milito, Motta, Eto'o and Hleb but with him we could be really strong.

And if we also sign a creative midfielder than I might bet some money that Inter will win CL. In September the odds will something like 10 to 1 :D

Now that we have Hleb, and once we sign Cassano- i doubt the management would want to sign anyone else. Obviously they wouldn't want to spend all the money they just got on another player, unless it involves a player exchange* and i hope so... ;)

Ibra alone > Eto'o+Milito+Motta+Hleb

Add Cassano to that, and we most probably have a better team.

Are you messing with me? You must be joking. Ibra is great, for me one of the best in the World, but he's not God.

Let's say Eto'o, Hleb and Motta will be starters. Right there we have improved dramatically 3/11 positions on the team, and as it happens it's positions that needed to be improved the most. Also Milito could be starting material and if not our bench will be that much stronger.

Seriously, as it stands the only team that could challenge us for the scudetto is Juve. If Milan make some good signings, or if bucktooth starts shining again then maybe them too, but as they are, they are miles below us.

On paper we have already improved the team. What will decide if it makes us stronger or not is if Mourinho can turn all that quality into a well balanced consistent team, because we have to change the way we play. With Cassano we would be on the same level of Arsenal and Liverpool, but maybe not as strong as United, Chelsea and Madrid, and definitly not Barca.

You got to be joking.

Better than Eto'o and Hleb alone agreed, but not all those players. This is a joke man, seriously.

Don't take that so literally. Of course I meant that as a team, 2008/2009 Inter team was better than what 2009/2010 Inter team would be if we had only the additions we have now. Current team needs Cassano to overtake last season's team.

Eto'o + Hleb definitely ain't bette than Zlatan. :howler: Are you joking? Those others won't bring enough the needed quality even if they bring quality.

As a team we have definitely improved already. But remember, to win the CL or in big games, very often its an individual that makes the difference. Currently we lack that great individual and Cassano could be it. But we are a better team already.
