Exactly.
People pretending as if this wasn't a prestige hit for the club are fooling themselves.
No one in their right mind wants to play for Inter of Zhang and Marotta, especially when they see us letting Perisic go, almost losing Brozovic, bending over to get Lukaku back and setting prices for Bastoni, Lautaro, Skriniar and Barella..
If they have other options, they'll consider them. Especially when we delay. The Dybala one in particular hurts the most because the guy even took a step backwards to avoid waiting for us when he was kinda begging to join (before anyone says anything about my first paragraph, Dybala is definitely not in his right mind leaving Juventus like that and limiting himself to a handful of their rivals, including us, their main one).
Last ditch effort to get Bremer here but watch us sell Skriniar to do so, only because we wanted to bring fucking Lukaku back.
Missed out on SMS because Conte and Marotta prioritized on Lukaku (we had agreed terms with the player, the usual shit), now missed out on Dybala and forcing Bastoni/Skriniar/Barella out to bring for the same fucking player. Lukaku is pretty much the general manager here, not Marotta...
