Yeah, unfortunately that's the way it is how @_OC_ put it. If we now force Skriniar out, it might disgruntle the whole locker room. It might affect the future where we don't end up having players who'll grow INTO this club because deep inside they know they are just tradable assets for the club, nothing else.

Disagree entirely on this sentiment.

We 'forced' Lukaku and Hakimi out last year, everyone thought this would happen. Instead now we have Bastoni Lautaro and Skriniar openly resisting their sale. I'm sure Barella would too if there were interests. We also kicked out Icardi and Perisic before that but they were seen as bad apples anyway.

And then there is a question is forcing players out even a thing? Because otherwise Dalbert, Lazaro, Vidal, Sanchez... would be somewhere else already, but they are not.

I don't like the fact that we're actively persuading Skirniar to leave but I don't think we're burning any bridges, so you can rest easy there.

We absolutely did not force Lukaku out. Management was desperate trying to keep him but he had made his mind.

I'm saying when this forcing out keeps happening yearly, it can effect the squad. We forced Hakimi out but he was here for that one season. It's not the same thing as forcing player out who's been here for years, has grown to Inter, wants to stay there (talks about what Hamsik did with Napoli) and would have been probably a future captain. No, that's not comparable to Hakimi (or even Lukaku, if we forced him out which we didn't).

High squad turnover is definitely a risk. Just that my point is that we're not forcing the the key players out, at worst, we're persuading them to consider the offers. And we don't have a lot of successes of forcing anyone anyway.

I mean we couldn't force Joao Mario out who openly trash talked Inter. What makes you think can force out someone who's so attached to Inter?

I don't see why some people here want so desperately to paint Marotta as the main culprit, who wants to force our best players out? Marotta is just following orders. If it was possible to sell some trash and youngstarts in order to fulfill Suning requirements, and to reinforce the squad at the same time, i'm pretty sure that it would have already been done.

I mean.. both things can be true. Skriniar can ideally want to stay, but appreciate the financial pressure at Inter, while also looking very much forward to completing at a high level, at twice the salary. It's not so white and black.

The only 'good' thing about a possible Skriniar departure is that he would leave abroad, not to Milan or Juve.

Shit thing that ain't really making me feel good, to be fair. Especially that the management is trying to MAKE HIM GO because we are so strapped for cash. Something just doesn't sit well with me. I know we need money, but there has to be a better, although harder way to make money. Maybe start by not giving big contracts but also not waiting too long to give a new contract? Maybe find better sponsorship deals? Maybe selling our trash, even if it's under price? A player like Vecino should've been sold years ago, but we just couldn't, mainly because his wages we gave him were too good for him and he didn't really want to leave, even though he would play at Everton or Lazio...

The club is trying to hide the fact that we are horrible with money with selling our most valuable assets

The guys who own the club tell you to raise 60m. What you're gonna do as an employee? It's easy to say sell some scrubs and keep Skriniar, but if there's no enough interest in your scrubs then there's nothing else you can do. You have to sell one of the core players so pick your poison.

I think Marotta wants to hold on a bit for suitable offers for Dumfries, Correa etc before selling Skriniar.

Marotta is running the sporting side of the club, he's the sporting CEO. That's why.

We are in delicate moments here now. Thursday is the last day of June, it's the end of this fiscal year. If we are not selling Skriniar by then, what's the fucking rush selling him then? Why not test the market with our other players a bit further. United - Dumfries, Chelsea/United/Spurs - De Vrij.

I totally get if the players need to be sold at certain deadline, you need to sell someone big, but is there a deadline anymore, if we are in July and Skriniar is not sold?

Juve's fans used to say almost the same, and to blame him for everything. It's interesting that most of their comments about Marotta now are completely different.

I don't know about deadline. Last i've read was, that Marotta wants to complete all transfers untill 6th of July. Why exactly 6th, i have got no idea. I'm not sure that we shall sell Skriniar (or anybody else) till the end of fiscal year. This is one of the versions circulating around, but i don't know if anyone from the management came out and confirmed it?

Selling in this fiscal year because of necessity is understandable. Then we need to sell one of the big players, no questions asked. But if that's not the case, if we haven't sell Skriniar before July, then why trying to push that sale? Why not wait for the market to pick up interest for Dumfries, De Vrij etc. It might be we still need to sell one of the bigs, if there is not enough market interest for these guys to fetch big enough offers, but I would at least try that, give it few more weeks.

Everything really points to we just want to make money to fund our transfers. Bremer, Asllani, Bellanova, Dybala.
This is what I'm thinking as well. All other words are just a smoke and mirrors.

Can't disagree with anything he said. Italy really stayed behind and it's paying the price now.
tbh I can, with this statement in particular:

“then suddenly we lost our position. We have to ask ourselves why – my analysis is that we weren’t ready to change,...”

gtfo Calciopoli fucking happened. There was a parallel system of operating for one club, which didn't only send message to players, foreign and local, that their effort and talent are secondary, but it set back Serie A for a decade at least.

Moratti had to move heaven and earth to catch them. One club doing the job of a whole system--that's waaaaay beyond its scope.

In that system you don't need to change--you just cheat.

He might not want to stir shit up, he's got more pressing issues, but on it's own his wondering is ridiculous.

One Question,
If Lukaku departure wan not planned and we were ok with only Hakimi sale, then we got huge unplanned gain from Lukaku sale, it was in July that belongs to this fiscal year. So if we had 115 million unplanned revenue why we are selling Skriniar now? and for only 60 mil?

because we still lost like 110mil even counting the plusvalenza from lukaku. Last year would have been worse than the year before (practically) if it wasnt for the plusvalenza

We still need pay Suning debt. If Suning sell Inter, all problem solved.
