I'd just like to express my feelings towards this mercato and it is a big fucking giant fuck you to our mercato team so far! What a shitty mercato this has been up to now!
1. Valero: we've paid 5,5m + 1,5m for a 32-years old player with an astronomical wage increase to 3m yearly on a 3 year contract. While I don't argue with the Palacio-esque transfer, why the fuck we increased his wages to fucking 3m when he earned something close to half of that amount at Fiorentina (keep in mind: finished 8th last season so no EL, no CL, no title chance this year)
2. Skriniar: ok, this deal I actually find reasonable. 20-30m for a young (but not primavera) player at 22, good Serie A experience and probably likely to make it to the starting eleven is good. I can't remember news about his wages, but should be around 1,5m to 2m which is adequate.
3. Padelli: who cares.
4. All the kids we've purchased, such as Colidio, Zaniolo, Odgaard: overall good at any other club but what is the point with Inter??? We can never integrate anyone from primavera on the first squad and I'm tired of "building up" for the future for 7 fucking long years. We had Benassi, Duncan, Gnokouri, Miangue, Donkor, Yao, Puscas and whom got any chance on our squad? Or was at least sold for a reasonable profit?
5. Andreolli: contract termination. Dumb. He had low wages and was a decent bench player, club trained for EL/CL. Watch us buy someone and pay triple wages to fulfill the same role.
6. Caprari: not bad, at least we've made a profit for a player whom would never play for us.
7. Banega: fucking 9m for Banega?? Highway robery. Every fucker we scout is priced at ~25-30m, every fucker we try to sell is priced at ~10m.
8. Rano, Santon, Naga, Ansaldi, Jovetic, Medel, Brozovic, Biabiany, Manaj and Longo are still here. What the hell?? Can't we sell anyone?? Oh wait, we've just sold Banega for 9m and Andreolli (whom could be useful) for free. What are the odds we'll manage to sell even half of these players????
9. Dalbert: 30m for Dalbert? Who is Dalbert? We are talking as if he was a beast but really... 30m for Dalbert? From Nice?
10. Vecino: so now we have a billion midfielders. Valero, Brozo, Gagliardini, Medel, Joao Mario, Kondogbia. We need a DM. Whom do we want to buy? Vecino, whom is not such a significant improvement. Who is he gonna bench? Gagliardini, Valero or Joao Mario? And let's pay him 3m, so we can't sell him in a couple of years. That's what we do these days: 3m. Specially as he plays for Fiorentina.
11. I guess is it clear by now our team has serious mentality issues. Who are we negotiating as WF? Keita! Oh my, why don't we get Balotelli also?
SUMMARY: it is July 23rd already and we:
- did not buy any significant improvement (which would have a big impact on this season's squad);
- did not buy players for the positions we desperately need: FB and DM;
- overpaid wages for Valero and will probably do the same for Vecino;
- did not get rid of any of our shitty players.
I won't even bother to compare our transfers to other Serie A squads.
