Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

[CafeCordoba]

Unless he somehow drastically improves his passing ability he won't be anything more then a supersub at top teams.
Too many times his passing has been mediocre at Inter.

Well it depends what the player is lacking. With brozo it was decision making and role definition with frattesi its lack of passing ability. The first are easier to correct for me.

I would say all those are fixable with simply experience (repetition) and not easier than others.

 

[CafeCordoba]

You generally know what a player is by 25. He's not 19.

Countless and countless examples in football how this is not the case. Two Inter players already mentioned.

What? With brozo it was literally everything to many brain farts shit attitude and highly inconsistent...
Also what exactly is fratesis role in this team? Not like he has a defined role like most of the other mids.....
ALso disagree on the easier to correct like it depends on how good of a passer you wat fratesi to become and also on whats his role gonna be, then again imho he s not a horrible passer....
We ve seen plenty of "great" players that we re just absolute shit decision makers through ut their whole career so i m not sure which is easier to fix.

Btw in no shape or form am i arguing for him to be a starter ATM he s not there yet, i m just ot ready to exclude it.

GdS: Inter are planning a major transfer summit between coach Simone Inzaghi and the club’s directors this week.

Guarro said we failed to get gudmundsson cause we couldnt get rid of correa and are too soft with arnautovic...

Congrats management on sucking your cocks for 2 months.

 

[varmin]

This is good actually. I didn't like the idea of spending 30mln on Gudmunson.

Id spend 50 on him, if that would mean that arnautovic is gone... cant wait when we are in a same situation as last year vs atletico and he once again fucks up.

 

[Pimpin]

We paid fucking 15m for arnautovic because we thought taremi was expensive. Probablt cost us a deep chl run.

He was so fucking ass the whole season.

 

[YoramG]

Exact same position we were in after the Conte scudetto. 2/3 players away from opening a dominance cycle, and yet we’re sitting here with our dicks in our hands, and pissing money away when we do have it (Martinez).

At least we don’t have to sell anybody this time, so a small amount of progress is being made.

It's fun being chronically broke.

Can confirm.

Exact same position? Not even close. Have you guys forgotten how bad situation was in 2021? Let me remind you.

• Scudetto coach, Antonio Conte, had left
• We had sold our starting rwb and arguably best wingback in the league (only Milanisti wouldn't admit it)
• We had sold our starting forward and league's MVP, Romelu Lukaku, few days before the start of the season
• We were starting the season full of uncertainties. Uncertainties about the coach, about our new rwb, about our new signings in attack. We were starting the season with top 4 as the target despite winning the league in the previous year.

And how is the situation now?

• We extended the contract of Scudetto coach, Simone Inzaghi.
• We haven't sold any of our starters. In fact there are no rumours about selling any of them for the first time since covid.
• We improved our midfield depth by signing Zielinski
• We improved our attack depth by signing Taremi
• We made an investment at GK with Martinez
• Ownership have approved an extra 10m transfer budget to sign a backup lcb without requesting sales
• We're starting the season as Scudetto favorites

Is our situation ideal? Far from it. Would i have liked more signings? Of course. I would have liked an SS/wing forward who would give competition to Thuram or at least a rest. I would have liked a rwb who would give competition to Dumfries. I would have liked another lwb who would push Augusto to lcb, which is his best position imo. I would have liked an investment at cb who would evenually replace Acerbi/De Vrij. But we're at a good position all things considered. Things are nowhere near as bad as in 2021.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

I love how you guys are making our mercato sound so dramatic

 

[CafeCordoba]

If we signed Zielinski and Taremi during the summer so that we didn't get the information of these signings months before, the mercato would look better.

We're still having financial difficulties because the club is making losses. That's why we aren't signing more and more expensive players.

I very much admid this. We are in a good place. But I do feel there is so much more to get out of this team atm. We have a really good core and with a few investments (imo; cb, rwb, ss) we could have really made a attempt the CL. We are not far from the ‘elite top clubs’ as Real Madrid and Man City imo.

We just lack of funds. With this management and the funds we had in the Moratti or first years of the Suning era, we would dominate Serie A for the years to come. And we would have a good shot at CL too.

 

[wera]

Same has been said last summer too. CB will be a hot topic next summer.

 

[Alex de Large]

Funny fact: Paying what Porto asked for Taremi instead of Arna, we would have make it that round against Atletico and got the money back from qualification. And now we would have the same team but without the problem of having to find a club for Arnatunovic.

I should maybe have clarified a bit. Let’s say it’s the day after the 2021 scudetto and the day after the 2024 scudetto as comparison points, as obviously the combined Suning/Conte massively disrupted things.

Even then, we had SOME money to spend and we blew it on fucking Correa

We feel perennially stuck in a cycle of short term thinking (I’m aware this is definitely improving). I am generally frustrated because we’re SO close to becoming a consistent UCL force as well as domestic dominance, but we’re stumbling at the finish line

Sometimes it's not about who you sign, but who you get rid of. That should have been the theme of this mercato given that I agree with the basic sentiment of we are covered and have a great squad already. Having correa, arna and satriano all still at the club and blocking our every move for weeks now is inexcusable imo and the simple excuse that nobody wants them is not good enough.

 

[CafeCordoba]

So you suggest we would have spent our money on Taremi and thus not being able to spend on Pavard but still think we would have gone beat Atletico? Because Pavard made the mistake there, or what's the logic here? How about the Scudetto then?

Or do you mean we would have signed Taremi and Pavard? Then we might aswell argue many other players we could have signed instead of this and that, not considering the economic aspects of the mercato at all (which to me is pretty useless).

edit. Also, it's bold to call something, what you just said, a fact.
