Bremer confirmation, Dybala confirmation and Lukaku news all in the same day?

Who the fuck have we sold.
We're trying to sell Bastoni for that but he refuses to leave.
We will try to sell Skriniar for that (hence why you heard he's even lowering demands, the fuckers barely discussed a renewal yet!). He doesn't want out.
We will try to sell Barella for that. He won't leave.
Then we'll try to sell Lautaro, who will kick back but eventually could be sold if some teams end up needing a striker.

And more....

I hope you're right about them all refusing to leave.

Well, if you're ousted you're eventually going to feel unwelcome and pack your bags.

Skriniar is a weird beast, but I don't think Barella or Bastoni have the same tolerance for bullshit.

And that's why I predict that Lautaro will end up being the "big sale".

Pretty much what happened with Hakimi. Dude literally said after the Scudetto celebration at the Meazza that he had no desire to go anywhere. The pay raise PSG gave him I'm sure made it easier but it was still a case of Suning basically begging him to walk out the door rather than an active choice he wanted to make. And nobody can blame any of these guys if they eventually take the mindset of "fuck off if you don't want me here" and decide to go.

Shit, for all of Lukaku's "dream" of going back to Chelsea, I can only wonder if that dream would've become so alluring if Inter weren't in such financial chaos, but rather were able to actually build on that Scudetto winning team and try to go for more (oh, and Conte still being the manager, presumably).

So we're going to sell SDV, Bastoni, Skriniar, Di Marco, Dumfries, and fail to extend Perisic's contract, right?
I'm thinking if we sell SDV, Pinamonti, Satriano, Di Marco, Sensi and Dumfries, maybe we'll earn enough to save Bastoni.

It’s that of the year where we fans can act like we are playing FIFA in real life – meaning planning the squad for next season. TBH the players who are being linked to us are pretty decent, especially seeing our history, if – and that is a big if – we don’t sell a player like Bastoni. The following linked players all sound very interesting and some of them should still have some decent market value, but let me take a more concrete look at the possible signings:

1.) Dybala: For me he is very important because he would be a perfect signing to show that we are serious contenders next year. Although his salary his pretty huge and he is injury prone we really should sign him. I am definitely not a fan of Lautaro, but having Lautaro – Dybala – Correa – Dzeko sounds very decent, only thing we would miss is a Dzeko successor.

2.) Lukaku: Interesting to see that Lukaku seems desperate to get back to us, but this will never, ever happen. Especially if we sign Dybala and apparently, we still have financial issues to make some Plusvalenza bullshit. I loved Lukaku when he was still around, but those days are over, let’s move on.

3.) Mkhitaryan: As I have written in another thread, I would keep my fingers away from players like that. Years ago, he would have been huge for us, but now he just collecting his last big paycheck. What the Italians have to learn is that those old players aren’t necessarily cheaper than young player with a transfer fee. Just take a look at our Chilean duo – we are going to save 20 freaking millions when we terminate their contracts. And tbh Agoume or Esposito could nearly do what those two dudes did this season. To be fair Sanchez had his moments, but still wasn’t worth such a high salary.

4.) Bremer: Imho he should be a must buy and should have been wrapped already up months ago. I really can see someone snatching him in front of our nose because we were still negotiating. Just make it official, Pinamonti + 10 millions should be possible, especially with Belotti on his way out, so Torino desperately needs a new striker and for a team like them, Pinamonti can be huge.

5.) Scamacca & Fratesi: After this pathetic display against Milan, those two shouldn’t even be considered anymore – overrated and overprized average players, so no thank you from my side.

6.) Asllaini / other squad players for depth: Tbh I can’t really say anything about Asllaini, but it is nice to see that we are looking at younger, “Serie A experienced” players.

All in all, I really think that our squad could be better than this year’s because we are getting rid of so many dead wood (Ranocchia, Vecino, Sanchez, Vidal, Caicedo, Sensi, Radu and Kolarov) with high salaries and are exchanging them with younger players with more qualities / higher ceiling.

If we really have to sell a key player, I would sacrifice Lautaro before even thinking about Bastoni or Barella. I didn’t mention SDV yet, but I really think he is gone, too. Sad, but it is the perfect timing to sell him for some decent money.

I don’t have any trust in Suning, but thank god Morata is still here to save us.

Forza Inter!

I don't know this Bremer guy.

But this is like the 78th time where fif members know about a player and how amazing he is... When in fact all you guys have seen is at most 3 full games and highlights.
What are you on about, Bremer has been so good this season that he has highlights on youtube. A player that is bit limited, just like Skriniar, that has fucking highlights of his fucking tackles. Oh, and he was the Serie A defender of the year. While De Vrij has been a bitch this season, looked powerless and out of his depth. While Bremer is 25 and isn't even in his prime yet.

Why wouldn't you want a player like that before his price spikes up and we can't afford him anymore?

Dalbert's contract expires next summer. There's zero point in loaning him out.
yea, if we can sell him for 500k just do it. Loaning him out makes no sense. I also think Sensi needs to be sold. He can look amazing during the preseason, but everyone knows he will get injured soon after the season starts. Lazaro is also not worth loaning out... Out of all these names only Zinho and Agoume are worth keeping, while Satriano and Espo should be loaned or put into a transfer deal. There's also Pinamonti, who will most likely get sold or put into a deal.... oh and Pirola as well, who will probably also be out on a loan. Ayway, there's a lot of things to do. Hope they wont end till the last week of the transfer window to get rid of these guys.

Selling a big player means we are done. You can't chip away at the core of the team and not rebuild that.

On the other hand, if we just need 60m, there are ways without a big sacrifice.
Conservatively
De Vrij - 10m
Dumfries - 25m
Pinamonti - 15m

Add some other youth and there we are.
Add here 15-20 from Dimarco and here we go.


And then we need like 3 new players to replace this group :yao:

To fucking psg of all teams.
I dont buy that Hakimi asked to leave but I digress. Obviously he is right that Serie A is a transitional league now. But that's only the case when a players tells you they are leaving. No one is asking to leave right now. Just because the league is a transitional league doesn't mean you just sell players for the hell of it. Put it on the player to make that choice.

Also, Suning are not sustainable and never will be. They are in too deep at this point and it's best to jump now. I'm surprised someone of Marottas caliber is even bothering to continue with this "project".

Hakimi's wife pressured Paris over London. There's a lot of Moroccan and arabian ppl in Paris and France. I get the feeling maybe they didnt took Italy so well maybe felt isolated as a family, even though inside the team Hakimi was always delivering and was happy . Also we needed cash. Both deals were double your wages offer to Achraf. So 10M€ net. Whats not to like. There's Mbappe and Neymar there.

Hakimi was a great opportunity and even greater regret, because Conte made him even better. Also Cancelo.

My head start to hurt because of our fucked up financials. If we didnt have Beppe, we would be Lazio people.

I noticed we are aiming captains to our team:

Last year we get Dzeko and Dumfries who were captains of their teams. Calhanoglu also was a captain of turkish national team in few matches.
I noticed that in our CL winning team as well. Sneijder, Eto'o, Stankovic, Lucio, Pandev were all captains of their national teams

Sadly it was too good to be true if we could have Perisic Dybala Bremer and lose only De Vrij. Truth is we can be happy if we get Dybala and can replace Basto with Bremer(*). The other solution would be too sell Lautaro for good money and replace De Vrij with Bremer. Get a decent low cost striker like Roma did with Abraham, Dybala + Dzeko and Correa as bench options..

*even if apparantly Bremer isn't a LWB, at that point i don't know whats the sense of getting ONLY Bremer...


Im anyway worried if we fail to get Dybala. He's the only top player we could get, there is no other alternative considering the budget we have. I feel like our season will depend on this transfer. There is the risk to lose top players without toreplace them, like it happend with Lukaku. Imagine if we lose Lautaro and the mangament gose really for Raspa or Scammacca. Scammacca/Raspa, Correa, Dzeko... 2015 vibes. And even if Lautaro is staying we will lose someone else AND we still have a striker problem. Because let's be honest, Lautaro is our best striker but he's really downgraded a lot now that Lukaku is gone. Not getting Dybala could become a big problem, we need quality upfront.
