Agreed, I expect a massive season from Lautaro now that he is the main focal point of attack and captain.

IMO he’s getting better and better each season too. We all give him a hard time for his inconsistency in front of goal but honestly, very few strikers don’t go through dry spells. And let’s not forget he was often paired with Dzeko last season. They had no chemistry at all. Correa was Correa and Lukaku was injured and/or useless 75% of the season. Give this man a good partner who can play to his strengths and he’ll flourish like never before.

Agreed. I actually don't think there are many strikers in the top 5 leagues that have had consecutive 20+ league goal seasons in the last two years. Does anyone know? I would assume the list is very short.

If our managment was smart they would buy Balogun. The reason is because inevitably we need to make a big sale next summer, and imo it should be Lautaro. That man is dispensible as fuck and he's going to bring in a lot of money.
We just made him our captain. The captain of Inter. No, he's not going anywhere.

Haaland, Mbappé and Lewandowski aside from Lautaro , I think ?
Interestingly enough that's the full list. If we do count France as a top 5 league (I think it may be after this season?), Lautaro is one of only 4 players to have scored 20+ league goals in consecutive seasons.

Not believing it until we get a 48hr message, that will mean another week or so and an increase in price a la Sommer :lol:

We’re not going to offer more than 35mil euro, maybe with some add on bonuses. And neither should we. Arsenal fans thinking they’re going to get £50mil for him :lol:

Should be 35 and some bonuses. The way I see it, he does not want to sit on the bench, no loan and only serious guys about him are Inter.

We're going to negotiate for 1 month and end up paying whatever Arsenal asks for him. That's the only way. The Inter way.

But why would we want Balogun, he had his best season in non-top5 league

Just read a report the Balogun is injured. It's his foot. Mentioned in The Athletic.

No idea how you can believe this after the second half of last season. The man was immense after the world cup. I feel like removing Lukaku from the equation and making Lautaro the focal point of the attack will push him to another level.
