This year we finally feel how bit the different having competence transfer guru like Sabatini comparing what we’ve been through in past 7 year with how some clown managing our mercato. So If you can turn back the time and able to fix Inter mercato what you gonna do? Who is player you gonna buy/sell/keep based on the legit rumoured player?


2010-2013

Buying

Mascherano, this one of player I’ve been regretting we didn’t sign for past 7 year. People making fun of this rumour just because Benitez want him at all cost and fact we have Cambiasso at the time most of people think Benitez is delusional with want another DM In the squad. Turn out Mascherano having solid career since then even become one of better player in Argentine terrible squad from last World Cup, while Cambiasso aging faster and end up playing for Leicester.

Cavani, losing promising talent like Balotelli is one thing since we cant help anything with his bad attitude.But didn’t replace a talent with another promising talent is another thing with during 2010/2011 mercato our only transfer is frickin Biabiany. When at that time Cavani giving us a strong signal want to be in Inter saying he wants to be ‘Inter Wayne Rooney’ but Inter just ignoring him. Later after having good world cup he end up in Napoli just for loan with 15 million redemption and sold for 60 million to PSG couples year later.

Sanchez, another lost gem because Inter clown mercato team think want to saving couples million. After great performance in first half of 2010/2011 season we trying to chasing him and make a deal with a crazy Pozzo who open a price about 20 million++ while we didn’t bugging and choose not to spend more than 6 mil plus muntari or 18 million lmao Later we choose to buy Pazzini with 12+Biabiany, eventho Pazzini having great performance in half of season with scoring 11 goals but on summer we know who exactly the real winner with Sanchez move to Barca for 37 million and his career always been great since then.


Selling

Maicon, Millito, not selling both these player to Madrid for 50 million total seem a mistake now with both player cant even live up from their own 2010 shadow. After that. Milito get long term injury and not playing as much as before even need lost place to Palacio while Maicon feel like aging a lot after get a bullied by Bale, end up in Man City for just 5 million transfer a years later.

Sneijder, when Branca said keeping Sneijder is our coup in the 2011/2012 mercato this sound seems a bad omen which will give us a disaster later. At that time there is an official offer for Sneijder coming from Man United about 35 million euro but it got rejected since the mercato team feel its better to sell Eto’o than Sneijder. We end up selling Eto’o for 25 million to Anzhi and keeping Sneijder which is recipe for Doom. Having Gasperini as coach everyone know he prefer 3-4-3 as formation and he already saying he didn’t need Sneijder and need Palacio and winger to complementing Eto’o and Coutinho for his tridente. Later Inter give him Ricky Alvarez, Forlan and Zarate as Eto’o replacement and Only buy Palacio a year later when Gasperini already gone, plus they sell Sneijder 6 month after that for just 8 million, what a joke.


Keeping

Motta, this 2011/2012 season like series of Nightmare so many bad move by management in just one year. Motta having bad fight with Ranieri at that time and end up he been sold for just 10 million, years after that we seriously cant find a midfielder who can pass better than him while he had a great season with PSG.

Coutinho, Idk what our management smoking at when selling him for peanut at that time. The worst part is some of Interista also agree with decision saying he is not ready playing for inter, too skinny, cant shoot or any ridiculous reasoning for that transfer. Some of our player also end up like him got sold for a peanut because we give up too fast, but now I can trust our mercato team to not give up easily to our talented player like in the past.

Eto’o, I know with his huge paycheck it will be hard job to keeping him longer. But after his fantastic season with he bagging 36 goals, atleast management should never think to sell him at any cost since one Eto’o worth more than 20 garbage player we buy after we sold him. He probably still have 3 years of good season before his contract run out.

Eto’o ----- Cavani --- Sanchez
Coutinho--------------
---------------Motta
Mascherano​

Damn, what a lethal attack even if your bench only fill with Biabiany or Obiorah I believe they can still compete for many years.



2014-2017

Buying

Dybala, we been rumoured to signed him way before he sign for Palermo just for 8 million. Even when he sign for them media says Inter will try buying him later and let them grow first but it didn’t happen for no reason. When they comeback to Serie A is like mission impossible to sign him and only Juventus who had enough power to buying him with how crazy Palermo asking prices.

Nainggolan, this probably Thohir biggest mistake to not signed him up. He have an Indonesian blood so it would be a good for marketing side Indonesian owner buy Indonesian descendant player. Fact Roma only buy him for just 18 million is left another bitter in the mouth with how he grow as player in recent years.

Salah, another talent player we’ve been missing but this time is not a hundred percent our fault since for many year Fiorentina choose to become such a bitch for this one transfer, fkc. We desperately need a winger, we had a deal with Salah but for no reason Fiorentina cockblock the transfer. The rest is just history, Roma like stealing under our nose probably the different between having Sabatini in your mercato team with having clown in Inter mercato team.


Selling

Idk this era our player is pure garbage like we didn’t have any worthy player to sell, the only regret probably not selling Guarin to Juventus just want to know how he destroyed their locker room.


Keeping

Kovacic, ofc that 40 million is hard to be missing but when we look at how market nowadays its like a peanut and fact at that time Kovacic made a good partnership with Icardi provide him with great through ball from center Plus we replace him with dysfunctional Kondogbia who really didn’t contribute at all making the whole transfer operation sound like a bad move. And it will be interesting to see Kovacic play for us with a proper team and proper coach.

Benassi, Duncan, Mbaye, etc, selling these of promising talent is feel like mistake day by day they probably not gonna be a world beater but now seems they gonna be useful as rotational player and cost less than any garbage player like Melo while their price is skyrocketed every minute.

Dybala ---- Icardi ----- Salah
---Kovacic----Nainggolan
Duncan


Im not put our defence line since we even failed to chasing right player for Fullback position and Miranda x Skriniar type of transfer should come sooner, and the only Im satisfied is Handanovic transfer which like the only good decision our mercato team made so far in past 7 year, replacing good GK with another. Well Im trying to keep realistic eventho there is big name who been on our transfer list for many years but it didn’t happen like Tevez, Lucas, Paulinho, or Ganso etc which some of them actually a quite good decision to cancelled their transfer except we already wasted so much money for Branca transgender prostitute spend during his scouting time.

Ofc one transfer led to another transfer and could add butterfly effect but this only show how one bad transfer could led to disaster but at the same time one good decision can change a whole team for many years. And its important to having transfer guru who had vision and hope Sabatini will prove us he is the one.

I wouldn't have bought Ranocchia, Kondogbia, Pereira, Dodo, Barbosa, Kharja, Vidic (free), Hernanes, Silvestre, Medel, Guarin, Jovetic, Schelotto, Melo, Jonathan, Forlan, Belfodil, Montoya, Mario, Kuzmanovic, Mudingayi,

Would have signed Ljajic and Telles permanently.

Would not have sold Sneijder, Motta, Coutinho, Kovacic.

Would not have hired Benitez, Gasperini, Ranieri, Mazzarri, or Mancini.

A few players I begged for us to sign on this forum: Criscito (pre-Russia), De Bruyne (while at Chelsea), Vertonghen (while at AJax), Mertens (pre-striker era), Gomez (when he played for Catania), and Bonaventura,

I think that about covers it for 99% of the people here. We could have donated half of the money we wasted on those players to charity, and still been better off.

Should have bought Nainggolan instead of Hernanes and Allan instead of Kondogbia, keeping Kovacic meanwhile. These two deals cost Inter more than 55 mln and the final product was pure crap.
Other transfers since 2012 were shoots in the dark, hoping to buy a class player for no money. It worked out only for Palacio and Miranda.
I don't mention our odyssey with fullbacks cuz it's too painful.

Great work chipschups, all the facts and dates in your painful story..

Only thing we could do right now, at present, is to try to hire the best scouts in Italy, for example who are the clubs with very limited budgets , but loaded with potential and smart scouting.. Atalanta, Sampdoria, Lazio comes in my mind first..

The transfer spendings have been exploded in the last years, we are not the club who can go and match the offers of some of the worlds richest clubs, but we could work and upgrade our scout networking , because we are already buying a little late even in Italy.

Skriniar from MK Zilina to Sampdoria Jan,2016 1 000 000 €
Skriniar from Sampdoria to Inter July,2017 18 000 000 € + Caprari

Realistically ...

——————- Cavani ———————
—- Coutinho ————— Dybala —
——————- Kovacic ———————
————- Radja ——————————

Only problem is that with our coaches in last 5-7 years most of those players would fail miserably.

Yeah I remember that bashing about the potential Mascherano transfer... It was a must buy.

Also, I adore Milito but perhaps if we sold him to Real Madrid in 2011 or something it'd be better for both parties. Probably Maicon as well. We missed out on targets that should have been acquired due to terrible management post-tripleta like Sanchez, Aguero, Verratti and so on. With Mascherano and Sanchez in the 2011-12 we'd play in CL for sure and could then sign Verratti and so on.

As for the purchases we did make, while it's all relevant on the dunamics, I don't regret pulling the trigger for Pereira, Belfodil, Guarin, Jovetic, Medel, Kondogbia and Joao Mario. Failing to adapt or perform as we expected is another issue, but you can't win them all. On paper, those were excellent transfers. But some transfers never made any sense like Vidic, Caner Erkin or Kuzmanovic etc.

Skriniar from Inter to Real M/PSG/City - 50M + x Player

There is nothing wrong with Skriniar deal , this is how mercato has and will always work.
For each Skriniar that Sampdoria/Udinese/Genoa buys from the likes of Zilina/Hajduk/Steaua etc there are hundreds that fail to make it.

These kind of clubs have the luxury to experiment with these players since they don't have title objectives.

PS. The argument that inter has won shit in last 7 years anyway doesn't count if anyone wants to use it. We might have not won but every player we have bought has been brought to work towards that objective. Only after you have created a winning group you can start buying these low profile players , think Arnautovic, Castagnos etc

The summer of 2010 was terrible, Mascherano was basically begging to join us and we didn't move a fucking finger.

In hindsight it's easier to sell Milito (although he banged in a tonne during the rest of his stay) after the CL but at the time if Milito left there would have been a riot.

This is too depressing. I'd rather eat mud than remind myself of the all the Schelottos we bought and the Coutinhos we sold. :lol: I appreciate the effort tho.

Maybe we change the title to this? :D

Reading this thread hurts my brain. Holy fuck 95% of Inter's transfers market prior to Sabatini has been completely wrong. It's as if special spies were deployed inside the management to purposely make the worst market decisions and self destruct the club.
