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

[PHM1605]

Well, we also have Dalberto. :troll:

...add Asamoah then :troll:
We have more than enough LWB, quantitatively. Quality...not sure.

 

[junior55]

That's the thing though. I'm not. Others do (try to comfort themselves, because they don't like what we're doing), but I'm in a tiny group who is happy what we are doing on the market, taking the circumstances and looking at the whole picture.

I was onboard ever since we hired Marotta, even through selling of icardi and n9 which got him many enemies here. And yet lets look at the results. The best year in 10 years. How did that happen? A fluke?

I know it's not a coincidence and as long as we keep it that way, we will progress little by little. We have a saying in Poland that "paper will take anything", meaning that you can write whatever you want, but then you have to confront it with reality. And what's the reality? We had amazing year stats wise, yet people are (again) shitting all over Conte, Marotta etc. Same thing like last year on Lukaku (if he will score 20 goals will be success), Young (grandpa and man utd reject) and so on.

I will keep doing what I'm doing. I have a management who is doing great things and will bring Inter back to the top. It's just a question of time, unless Suning will back off. Hopefully not. I had the same feeling when we hired Jose. Again, it's just a question of time. Corona problem put a little break on it for us, but it will happen.

Luka i think it's a lost cause trying to convince people in this forum that actually we are in a much better position this year and will be improving continuously as long as we keep following this plan.
Lets give them a bunch of matches/wins and soon people will start jumping in the bandwagon .

You’re not alone.. many times i thought FIF members are bunch of milanisti and jubentini pricks.

 

[ADRossi]

Luka, tell me more about how fantastic our defense is.

 

[yoszee]

Please sign Milenkovic

 

[crzdcolombian]

Please sign Milenkovic

Read online Dalbert and Piamonti for him

If a straight swap haha incredible deal

 

[Luka]

Luka, tell me more about how fantastic our defense is.

I don't know what's funnier. Your statement, or the list of people who agreed with you by those thanks.

So if we won, lets say 7:0 playing the best football you ever saw in your life, and then lost straight 15 games after that, would it make me a bigger moron or lesser one if I said after this 1 game, we are scudetto contenders?

That's kinda what you did just now btw.

We won by showing great character is my answer to you. Those games with 0 at the back showing great defense will come. Unless you think Conte out of a sudden shits on defensive aspect of the game, although that would be idiotic seeing how we had best defense last year, so he must care a little at least?

Unfortunately we're stuck with this situation when this season we could have had an exciting situation.

Getting rid of Godin was an unnecessary crime.

I'll assume that it's either Vidal or Tonali, cannot say that Tonali would have fared better in this season but for the club's sake, he'd be a far better transfer over the long run. But with Vidal you could aim higher this season which could have enabled something else later on.

We could have fielded a 4-3-1-2 which would have been the best fit.

Hakimi, De Vrij, Skriniar with Kolarov or Bastoni on the left. Godin as a rotation CB, with Bastoni also slotted there at times. D'Ambrosio as the backup RB.

The midfield three options are just excessive at this point. With 5 subs this season, there's no reason we should lose possession in the middle.
Eriksen, Brozovic, Barella, Sensi, Nainggolan, Vidal, Vecino, with Gagliardini sold or loaned somewhere. Eriksen and Nainggolan could also be slotted in front of the there, with Perisic and Sanchez also able to play some minutes there.
Attack with Lautaro, Lukaku, Sanchez, Pinamonti is fine.

Ashley Young was unnecessary to renew, especially at a 3m salary. We still have Asamoah who could play as a wide central midfielder which is his favorite position or left back, which he'd be good at when he has the entire flank.

And you could also switch this into a 4-3-3 with Perisic on the left, Sanchez or Lukaku on the right and Lautaro or Lukaku up front.


But let's enjoy our 3-5-2 with Skriniar off the team, Godin shut out, Ashley Young being a crucial part of the team and Kolarov being a center back.



There's a saying: When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Well, we don't pay peanuts but we still get monkeys because our coach prefers to run a circus. The whole season will be based, just like last year, on the motto: fingers crossed.

I never in all my life thought I'd say this, but....maybe we shouldn't sell Ranocchia okerface:

"Unfortunately we are stuck with the man and tactics that brought us our best finish in 10 years, the most inter goals in a season and best defense of the league, poor us with the manager not doing what I want"

 

[Luka]

Harpsabu, that's some signature worth statement.

It's fucking ridiculous! You would think we just avoided relegation last season, what the fuck is going on here!?!

Before people start, it's not about being a conte fan etc. If we start to play poorly and get poor results I will be the first man to criticise.

 

[Luka]

Man, I thought I'm the only one thinking it's like Alice in Wonderland on FIF recently. Completely different world detached from reality.

I'm happy there are a few of us at least

 

[varmin]

The funny thing is that if we achieved absolutely the same results with the same squad but with the label "Mou" on it, Brehme and his followers would have jizzed all over the place, how great the coach and the team are.

 

[.h.]

de vrij was free. transfer fees arent the end of the world.

young will blow hot and cold this season like he did last season, but when he wants to play well, he can make a difference. 4 goals in half a season is noteworthy.


I'm not massively thrilled about people like Vidal, Darmian, for example, but if you look at the crux of the squad, we've got Bastoni, Hakimi, Sensi, Barella, Lautaro - pretty much all who are likely to be first team starters? A bit of steel to buy this team a season or two while some of those players mature and get better isnt the worst thing in the world - if we can get to a place where the names I called out previously are largely amortised, we'll have some serious money to spend on more players.

"Unfortunately we are stuck with the man and tactics that brought us our best finish in 10 years, the most inter goals in a season and best defense of the league, poor us with the manager not doing what I want"

Conte could win the scudetto this season, won't change anything. And its not just Conte. Some just hate every Inter coach and demand his immediate sacking. Its hard to explain why this is so, unless the mums of roughly half the Inter fans here had an affair with Zamparini

 

[brehme1989]

"Unfortunately we are stuck with the man and tactics that brought us our best finish in 10 years, the most inter goals in a season and best defense of the league, poor us with the manager not doing what I want"

What a shit narrative to distort reality.

Where the fuck's the context here?

Best finish? Sure. In a season where we looked crippled until the covid break and we were actually the only team that benefitted from it from the top 6. Lazio collapsed and Atalanta decided to stop playing in the final games in order to concentrate for their CL tie. The same CL tie that we managed to get fucked out of, because of "the man and tactics" you are supporting here managed to lose a 2-0 win away to Dortmund with his stubborness and also couldn't manage to beat a Barcelona made of Ansu Fati, Carlos Alena, Moussa Wague, Carles Perez and Junior Firpo.

Maybe if Napoli hadn't imploded since the beginning of the season the actual favorites for a top 3 finish would be somewhere there, right?

As for our defence. Didn't Conte inherit this defensive line? We've had one of the best defencses in the league for three years now, yet we looked the most fragile last season despite what your precious record may tell you. Praise Handanovic and individual efforts for not conceding as many as we could have.

Goals scored, yes, that's pretty much the only one, but that's also mostly because we finally switched to 2 strikers and two wingers. "The man and his tactics", sure.

Almost won the Europa League. A tournament we never wanted to play in. Almost... But then "tactics" happened. Let's ignore the public outbursts as we also ignore who this fucking "man" is in the first place. Let's erase history together, we used to want to write it in the past.


You are free to support any other team in the world if all you care about is records and "how we play". This team just might not be for you. #NotForEveryone

 

[.h.]

the guy who isnt supportive of the team telling the guy who is supportive of the team to find another team to support is about the richest thing i've seen all 2020.

Mourinho would have been crucified if we got eliminated from the Champions League groups and his salary was 2/3 of Conte's.
Mourinho would have been crucified for losing the Europa League final.
Mourinho would have been crucified if he lost twice to Juventus, playing as if he was managing Siena.
Mourinho would have been crucified if he insisted to spend 80m on a player that did not warrant it, from a team he wanted out of whilst the feeling was mutual.
Mourinho would have been crucified if he wanted Skriniar out.
Mourinho would have been crucified if he failed to respond in games tactically.
Mourinho would have been crucified if he didn't win a trophy in his first season.

Grasp the environment buddy. Conte dick riding is the thing, those complaining about it are vocal because they're the minority.

To be fair, entirely different contexts. We were still odds on favourite to win the league in Mourinho's first season - were we even 2nd favourites last year? I cant remember. I'd guess third behind Napoli, going into the season?

Salary is irrelevant - there has been serious inflation in Football since then. What was the biggest salary in the leaague at the time? The biggest transfer in the world was STILL Zidane when Mourinho took over at Inter - 77.5mil euros. Now its nearly 3x that.


If Mourinho of 2010 was running this Inter team now, last season would have been a construction season, to get the team right. I think we might have done better - maybe won the EL, but its not like we would have won the league. We have a major talent delta between us and Juve. We paid top bucks for someone to take us a major step forward from literally scraping the CL with minutes to spare, to 2nd place. Yeah, we all wanted to do better in the CL - no dispute there. But unlike Mourinho, Conte is doing it on the back of us having barely been in the CL. Our pot seedings are awful. That's an inherent sabotage.

I wonder what you would have been like given how we scraped past Dynamo, if that was Conte in charge that season



You're talking a load of shite, tbh. As usual.
