FIF's Dramatic last day of the Mercato - Summer 2024

[Il Drago]

Typically our mercato isn't done yet so here we go.

Waiting an entire day for Palacios to be announced.

 

[Il Drago]

But there are also news about outgoings.

Inter are in talks with Sampdoria (again) to send Radu there.

Interest from Venezia for Correa.

No offers for Salcedo.

Wish we'd just take the hit and terminate salcedo. Correa we probably keep for the season just as an emergency.

Riveting stuff, i m holding my chair to not launch into stratosphere from excitement.

Joking aside, this has to be the most uneventful mercato we had in the last I don't even know how many years. I know we didn't buy anyone the summer following the treble, but at least in that period as far as I remember there was some hope someone could come, news were circulating, we were being linked with players. This summer there was very little of that, we knew in july our mercato is more or less finished bar rotational left footed defender.

It's happening

 

[YoramG]

6/10 mercato for me, with it basically done by the time it actually opened. Key renewals, no key players being sold, and some honestly excellent free agents make it a net positive.

Using what little money we had on a backup keeper, still not having sorted Dumfries’s renewal, still having Correa and Arnautovic in the squad, no new younger CCB, being incapable of selling fringe and youth players, and an utter lack of creativity throughout the squad are big faults.

 

[NimAraya]

Don't know why Musso switched Atalanta for Atletico's bench. He started against Real Madrid and Lecce.

I agree with what you say. I only want to point out Martinez isn't just a mere backup GK. He is supposed to be Sommer long term replacement. That's why they made the investment. Whether he was the right choice is a different discussion.

 

[vex]

As much as I hate correa I hope he stays. Five strikers with injury prone arna is what you must have playing this many games during the season.

 

[Il Drago]

Milan have contacts with Rabiot and Roma with Hummels

 

[NimAraya]

Just like the 31m Correa was supposed to be a starter for Inter! Firstly Sommer might not decline any time soon. Secondly we don't know if Martinez is good enough to overtake Sommer as the first GK. It was just odd to see Inter paying that much for him when we had such a tight budget.

 

[CraigM]

While I agree that having five strikers for the long season ahead makes sense from a squad composition perspective (however much we might like that five to be stronger), I'm struggling with us going with just six midfielders. Five for two places works way better for me than six into three.

 

[.h.]

in fairness, klassen + sensi clocked <1k minutes between both of them last year, and instead of klaassen + sensi, this year we have zielienski. I think its fine - I get your point, though, but i think in reality we're more than comfortable

Roma beat Milan to Kone signature

Roma clinched the deal with Borussia Monchengladbach for midfielder Manu Kone at €20-25m and he will arrive this afternoon for a medical.

2/10

Bad - Salcedo, Radu, Arna, Correa are still here. Dumfries is still here......

Darmian is our starting RB. Our starting Central CB are still De vrij and Acerbi.... that is really really bad.

Youth project = not existent. Instead of using youth players in preseason we gave all those minutes to garbage players we prayed would get offers elsewhere. They did not and only remotely decent one was sent on loan to buy a giant random player from Argentina for 10m. We sold off most the U20 Italian team that was sub champion of the U20 WC for 2-3 million euro each. Yet a random ass kid no ones heard of from a random ass team in Argentina we pay 10m for.

we bought a garbage 2nd string goalie for our whole transfer budget.....

somehow spent 58m on nothing

Juve got a better coach and a full starting 11 while we got 2 guys on free transfer that are actually January deals.

Positives we didn't sell any starter we actually need to keep.

I was mad when I read Skriniar loan to Roma tho that idiot rejected Saudi league because its not good enough and Roma because of wages. Was like if Roma could get him on loan why didnt we. Then His two refusals for loan made me remember why we all hate that idiot.

So window for me went from a 1/10 to a 2/10

Good player but very inconsistent. Maybe he just lacked motivation at Gladbach. We shall see.

Di Marzio: Interest from Pescara for Salcedo

Di Marzio: Interest from Pescara for Salcedo

we paid 10m for a guy who only wanted in 3rd division haha. Can't we send him to Argentina, Brazil and hope that makes him worth even 3m euro if he does well?

 

[Ethor]

What? No movement on the last day! Unbelievable
