Erick Thohir has denied that players like Andrea Pirlo and Emanuele Giaccherini will be hunted in January and clarified that the decisions on any reinforcements and budget for the January transfer window will be decided in a meeting between him, the father and son Moratti and all technical staff including coach Walter Mazzarri: “During the meeting we will also discuss long-term plans for the club, When it comes to the young players it must be done gradually. The first team must consist of mature players. This doesn’t mean that we’re not looking at the U-19 players as well. We must do everything slowly, it’s not certain that they are already ready for the first team. For both DC United and Inter, the selections must begin right from the u-16,” added the leader of The Mahaka Group.

Thohir also talked about his admiration for Nicola Ventola: “He was a young player with quality, unfortunately he had many injuries. But this doesn’t mean he wasn’t good. Even Obafemi Martin, to name one, never managed to reach his full potential as so many other young players, not just at Inter.”
