Continuing the theme of looking forward to next season, Tuttosport also brings up Inter’s lack of options in attack. The Turin based daily newspaper speculates that Walter Mazzarri could take advantage of Erick Thohir’s visit to Milan to impress upon the president his desire to add another striker to his squad this summer. A second striker that can support Rodrigo Palacio and add goals to the side, Mazzarri like Erik Lamela but will Inter’s budget stretch to such a purchase?

Sell Alvarez (not to Juve) and keep Botta with Lamela.
I think Lamela would be a great deal just incase that Mazzari decide to change his stupid formation from 3-5-2 to 4-2-3-1 with Handa GK Nagatomo LB Vidic CB campaniaro CB D’Amrossio RB Tider DM Olsen or Kova DM Lamela RW Hernanef AM Botta LW and palacio CF. what do you think.
Don’t compare Alvarez with Lamela. Lamela is a right winger while Alvarez is a center attacking mid. Also, Lamela is 21, Alvarez is around 25. Alvarez is more of a creator, while Lamela is more of a goal scorer. Lamela has more pace. I would take Lamela any day. Lamela and Alvarez can play together. And he has already proved himself in serie A with Roma scoring 15+ goals.
How come no one mentioning botta. The guy is miles better then Alvarez. He’s got everything pass, shoot, eye on the game, movement, fighting spirit. Why would we need lamela if we have bota. He just needs a whole 90 mins to prove himself.
pls not lamela another Argentine buy luis muriel hes way better then alvares and lamela.
If we gona splash cash we rather get Sanchez from Barcelona and we could use Guarin as makewaight since Barca were interested in him or even Handanovic or Ranocchia because they will be looking for defence enforcement in summer
Alvarez will always disadvantages on physical, power, and balance. He mostly lose when he need to fight for the ball even with nagatomo’s size, but he doing well so far. If he play for more possesion team like Barca, maybe can fulfill his potency.
I can’t see he will survive for tong term as long as we play physical game, afraid of losing his spot will always follow him.
I think Inter will invest this summer whether Mazzarri asks for it or not.
Many players will leave the club (some because they are considered to be surplus or not good enough, and some because of contract expiry).
I don’t know whether they will go for Lamela, but it is possible, in which case Lamela would be the highlight of our summer. I’m guessing Vidic will definitely sign, and I expect Inter to go after Vermaelen if he still wants to leave Arsenal. We will also be needing a midfielder if Mazzarri decides to sell anyone (Mudingayi, Kuzmanovic…)
Buy a top striker instead of Lamela please
Lamela is incomparable to Alvarez. It’s better to sell Alvarez and sign Lamela. Alvarez lacks fighting spirit, killer-instinct, goal scoring ability compared to Lamela. I will always prefer Lamela over Alvarez. Go for him!!!
I think we don’t need Lamela, beside his price is too high, we already have Alvarez.
Alvarez can’t be compared with lamela. Lamela is way better in attack than Alvarez will ever be, suggest a switch with money inbetween to bring the price down a bit…
