Gianluca Scamacca

When was that exactly? When Lautaro joined Inter Pinamonti was at Frosinone. Then the following season he was at Genoa. The only time they coexisted was in Scudetto season when Lautaro was a definite starter and no one was asking for Pinamonti to start.

Instead i remember the entire forum bashing Spalletti in 2018/19 for not starting Lautaro-Icardi attacking duo.

Like last year or something During one of Lautaro's dry spells, I definitely remember a few people obviously, hopefully, in jest, saying that we should just bring Pina back and play him over Lautaro

So we are reject Balogun because price too high to get Scamacca and Samardzic.

Better buy two quality Players rather than one.

 

[IM21]

If we can get him for something like 20-25M + some young player, lets say Pinamonti, then yes. But paying 40M or even more would be pretty stupid. For me Frattesi and Raspadori should be our main Sassuolo targets.

well, i was pretty spot on 1.5 year ago... Now all we need is Raspadori.

 

[BasedGodPunk]

So Inzaghi realized he wasn’t going to get Morata, so he instead requests the Italian Morata? Absolutely abysmal signing.

Samardzic deal is independent.

This move probably frees us more funds for the RCB role, but we probably will get Toloi. So it could leave us for more money for the 4th striker provided that Correa leaves and also leaves us room to get a 6th midfielder with different characteristics and send Asllani on a loan.

Or maybe it frees us more GK money.

 

[ElDuccio]

Scamacca?? At least Correa can make barbecue... PASS.

the problem is that i see only one quality player that you mentioned, not 2.

This is Marotta's signing.
Inzaghi likes Scamacca but prefered Morata in general.

I actually liked Scamacca at Sassuolo. Very unusual type of striker given his lankiness and height. I'd be fine with this transfer

Bolagun I just don't know how reliable his stats are in the Uber Eats league. Going by youtube vids he doesn't seem that special - especially not for the reported price.

 

[ADRossi]

I understand people who are freaked out about his knee from last season. I don't understand people who deny the talent he has.

During 2021-22 he scored a bunch of nice goals. He wasn't a tap in merchant. There were goals where he chested the ball, turned, and volleyed it into the new. He had a few from outside the box was were sweet kicks. Multiple powerful headers. He's also willing to press and contribute defensively.

Comparing him to Correa is ridiculous. Correa was a mature player who has never scored more than 9 league goals when we signed him. Correa was always a supporting striker to Immobile, whereas Scamacca has lead the line.

Like I said, the injury concerns are real. I have no clue what his knee is like structurally.

As I wrote sometime you win sometimes you loose. I grant you some of those in the past where pure stupidity, but then you know Branca.

I also didn’t say one should take unreasonable gambles, but it is necessary with some gamble.

No he ain’t, last year Balagun scored more then 20 goals, what did Scamacca do besides being injured?



I’m using the one where one actually played and performed the other was hardly even playing. Like what was it 16 games Scamacca got!

Yes and Correa also had Serie A experience, how was that turning out. The serie A experience isn’t always the sort of guarantee for success as people make it out to be and it ain’t really the first time.

if you watched Scamacca you know he ain’t really that great, he had one good season that’s it. I never seen anything in that lad, some people rating of him is mind buggering.



That just happened to be the last, it’s not like majority of Scamacca season where all that spectacular, as I wrote he had one good the rest was not really worth of note.

He was like 20 years old seriously what was Scamacca doing at that age exactly.

Scamacca was hardly even scoring goals at that age. At Balagun age he was scoring like 8 goals tops.

He ain’t any better, he is not even a very good player. He had one fine season that’s it all the remaining seasons was largely forgettable.

This kid has already scores plus 20 goals, sure in france but in a defensive league for not the greatest of teams, I doubt we ever see Scamacca score even half of that.

Is he a new super star prospect probably not, but he for sure is more interesting then the mediocre Scamacca who is never going to be remotely better then 4th choice material.

€30m is currently the price for injury plagued mediocre scamacca, you think that is money well spend?

Yes if Balagun is €50-60m then its obviously a no go, the gamble becomes to high and potential profit too low… But if we talk €35-40m I do think It will be worth the shot.

Hmm... well, i definitely see your point of view on this, I just happen to have a complete different one.

Scamacca has 'fringe low impact player on a high salary that cant be gotten rid of before his contract expires' - written all over him.

The Gagliardini of forwards, extremely limited.

If it wasn’t so depressing, I would be laughing myself to death over this.

Marotta just like anything Italian and played a Juve so the he likes Scamacca and Morata is hardly surprising.

 

[Shark]

No, this is Inzaghi's signing.
Marotta wanted Morata but likes Scamacca and lightly prefers Bolagun.

 

[ADRossi]

Any good recent examples of young strikers suffering from injuries and still able to revive their career?

The best case scenario for us here is Immobile. Immobile moved abroad and never played. Then he got injured while on loan at Torino and missed about a quarter of the season. He made a permanent move to Lazio the next summer, and his career took off.

I'm hoping Scamacca can be like this. His game is more suited for Italian football than English football, much like Immobile was never built for the German game.

 

[brehme1989]

No, this is Inzaghi's signing.
Marotta wanted Morata but likes Scamacca and lightly prefers Bolagun.

Not exactly. But arguably Scamacca is the only option where there's compromise.

Ordered:
Ausilio likes Balogun and Scamacca.
Marotta likes Scamacca and Morata.
Inzaghi likes Morata and Scamacca.
Zhang likes Balogun and Beto. Not the asking price though. And not sure who asked him but it is what it is.

So the people who know football in the club all like Scamacca, but he's Marotta top option and Inzaghi's compromise as he wants an experienced striker and there's basically no one else in the market out there. So he'd settle for player characteristics over experience. Maybe if Correa leaves we see someone more experienced come. Could be Sanchez even.

Also, like with Frattesi, Inzaghi was Scamacca's first coach at Lazio youth. There's some bond there, too. Probably the only reason Inzaghi won't throw a tantrum over not getting an experienced striker.

I’m actually not as scared off by the injury on its own, I just find €30m is stupid for one with that sort of Injury and who only had one good season in his life.

That said having Correa on the roaster certainly dos not make it all that attractive, if Inter did not already have another attacker with a similar injury plagued season, it might have been less of note, however that just ain’t the reality.

Correa is mostly just used as an example for the Serie A experience player, and that experience is not a guarantee. As well as used for the Injury concerns, rather then used for what type of player these two lads are.

People act like we're getting Graziano Pelle

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I understand people having reservations, especially his injuries, but come on, he’s not as bad as some of you say. You can’t teach height and he has it. He is also good with his head and feet, with a cannon for a right foot, akin to Hakans if not more powerful imo. His general play could use some work, sure. And I don’t think he has what it takes to lead the line at inter, but I do think he has the ingredients to be a special player. There’s always the risk he’s a one season wonder, but that season was only a year ago. We could have never afforded him last summer, so this a potential opportunity to get him at a reasonable cost. Of course he could also fail miserably as any signing could, but he’s not a bum.

 

[Ethor]

Guess Scamacca fills the Lukaku/Dzeko option in attack, so that should settle that, while pushing Correa to the 4th option. That may help Correa to explore other clubs and leave. Solidifying the goalkeeper and defensive is crucial now.
