Actually in the world of football today, the reasons why the clubs are moving on the market are very difficult to be explained logically. Declan Rice is over 100 mln so, he costs 5 Brozovics at least (if Brozo is 20 mln). For that money, one can buy Brozo, SMS and Frattesi as a midfield and it will be > than one and only Rice. From other hand Arsenal or Bayern need only one specific player, and are ready to throw insane money on him, as they believe he will be very influencing for them. Which cannot happen as he is DM.Cmon, have some pessimism. There's a reason why only Barca and Saudi want this 30 year old midfielder.
Did you seriously just write that DM's cant be very influential?From other hand Arsenal or Bayern need only one specific player, and are ready to throw insane money on him, as they believe he will be very influencing for them. Which cannot happen as he is DM.
Not exactly. I wrote that He is not so influential to justifies >100mln transfer fee. At the end football is a game decided by scoring of goals. Today, on a very high level, one needs players who can unlock defenses, create chances and score goals, as tactical set up could be enough to shut down opposition attack. See how Inter's team without a pure DM reached the final at CL, and lost it because its attackers couldn't score, not because they allowed many chances due to the lack of DM. Did you saw Fiorentina -West Ham with the 100mln Declan Rice? Fiorentina lost because they missed to convert their chances mostly. West Ham weren't the better team, but much more crutial. Declan Rice didn't prevent Fiorentina in creating chances at all.Did you seriously just write that DM's cant be very influential?
This is some weird post-match rationalizations. Inter plays a 352 with 2 WB's and 3 physical midtfielders who all can defend, obviously the need for a DM is much less for such a team. Look at Rodri at City (the same Rodri who is quite similar to Rice and who decided the final), who is needed to give KDB more freedom, not to mention they have 3 attackers, while we only have two. Its all about the team setup whether a holding midfielder is needed or not.Not exactly. I wrote that He is not so influential to justifies >100mln transfer fee.

Just read in Croatian media: Brozo doesnt want to leave but the club is forcing him to leave.
I wouldn't call our midfielders physical, but anyway, you just confirmed my point that a team could be successful without DM. Actually I didn't see a winning team without forwards.This is some weird post-match rationalizations. Inter plays a 352 with 2 WB's and 3 physical midtfielders who all can defend, obviously the need for a DM is much less for such a team.
I didn't say that this is not influential position, but that is not so influential compare to other. You alone amit that Rice is overvalued. In my opinion is a joke when Rice is considerably more expensive that Lautaro for example.Rice has alot more to his game than just defensive ability though. Very good passer and one of the best in the PL at carrying the ball forward among others. Is his price inflated due to only being 24 and english? Surely, but he is no doubt among the best and most talented in his position and saying that he or DM's in general arent influencial is just wrong.
So the Saudis were looking to fill a team sheet or two in their own country with European players by paying ridiculous salaries and fees back then? I must have missed thatWhat does cashed up saudis have to do with it tbh? Clubs like United were chasing him then, and didnt want to pay his release clause. Its not like we're talking about pre-2010 vs post-Coutinho/Neymar? 40m was hardly an extraordinary fee in 2018/2019?
He's the top scoring midfielder in Serie A, I believe, with 10 goals. He's been very good whenever I watched him.Other than that golazo a few weeks back I don’t recall anything of note at all from Koopmeiners. Admittedly I strongly dislike Atalanta so watched as little as possible.
I really do not understand Inter management. Brozovic is maybe, on his position, one of the best in the World. Asking 20M for him is insulting. He can play 3-4 years more on high level, than he can go to SA.Just read in Croatian media: Brozo doesnt want to leave but the club is forcing him to leave.
I think they count on Hakan to play as a dm. Koopmeiners is more versatile than Frattesi, whos just a Barella lite. Koop can also dribble, which is much needed at Inter and can be used in all the midfield positions and on the side.Koopmeiners still keeps hakan trapped in the LCM where he isn't at his best. If we want hakan at his best, he needs to be in the middle.
They want to get rid of his salary as he is one of the highest paid players in the squad. The other two are Barella and Lautaro. The former already rejected Newcastle, and there are no offers for Lautaro.I really do not understand Inter management. Brozovic is maybe, on his position, one of the best in the World.
