All sports dailies seem to want to add pressure on the shoulders of Roberto Mancini after the summer’s transfer market. Tuttosport doesn’t shy away from the exercise either, talking about a compulsory qualification for Champions League. “Mancini wanted a revolution and got it. The axis with Erick Thohir is firmer than ever: the President handed the keys to the coach of Inter to restore competitiveness with a transfer market reminiscent – though with the proper proportions – to the one that preceded the season of the Treble. At that time it was the sale of Ibrahimovic to be the key to get to Eto’o, Sneijder and Lucio (after Massimo Moratti had already secured Milito and Thiago Motta from Genoa). Even at this time the key came from a sale: the painful one of Kovacic, but also those of Shaqiri and Hernanes (the only one where there was a loss, however, offset by savings when it comes to salary).”
Now it’s up to the coach from Jesi to assemble the pieces and go for the first three places. Champions League has become an obligation and not just a goal according to most.

Well, TS is no BS this time.
Lucio, etoo, sneijder, milito, and motta vs miranda, murillo, kondogbia, jovetic, perisic, ljajic, and melo. The first names still outclass the second names, but should be able to give us the UCL spot. For those who really hate oldy players, the first names are the prove that experience and quality is what it tooks to be the champions not merely “talent”. Indeed, both experience and talent are important. That’s why I am happy that we took miranda and melo, (id be happier if we got lavezzi).
its insulting to compare these signings to the 2009 mercato really……
Pardon me, Why is it insulting?
yeah why is it insulting?
Agree!
I wish Inter would’ve looked for a bigger money shirt sponsor, possibly capitalizing on having Naga in the team with a Japanese one.
INTER FORMULA!
In my opinion, the interesting part of this summer mercato is Inter formula. This new strategy to spread the transfer payment in several years is a good business. Since we will have a good competitive squad to regain CL spot. However, we may be have a little difficulties if we can’t make CL spot. Then, we have to sell the players that we bought in the summer (for instance: Shaqiri case). Which in my opinion, we will not do that.
Next year will be interesting. The management will have time to choose between stick with Pirelli or looking for other sponsor whom eager to contribute more in funding. I do appreciate the management work as a team. Now, let’s enjoy the running competition. FORZA INTER!
