From Indonesia and portal Republika Online new statements from Erick Thohir have been reported and even an anecdote from when Thohir visited Interclub Indonesia for the match against Chievo. A supporter reportedly expressed his surprise at seeing him as president of the team in his heart. Thohir then confided that he was equally surprised himself, “At first, I didn’t real really think I would be president for Inter. During the first weeks of negotiations my intention was to give more help to the club, with a focus on management, certainly not to become a symbol.”
Thohir explained to fans that the primary goal is to consolidate the club’s finances, a process that will be completed in three years , and the president reiterated that the transfer market in January is not the ideal time to buy players “because it’s a too narrow window and covering only half the season.”
Thohir admitted that he didn’t want to break down the fans’ dreams of having players of the highest caliber in the team (an example was made of Messi). However, a prerequisite is that the economy of the club isn’t affected and to explain the importance of the financial well-being of a club the president used as an example Leeds United, who in the 90s depopulated Premier League with the likes of Eric Cantona in the squad but are now navigating in the Championship’s murky waters. “We will not do like them, they fell because they weren’t ready.”

Shame on you comparing our inter with leeds united,thohir!!! From any stand points,it doesnt worth!! It’s not ideal in buying players in january,but there must be an exception due to our team performance. With inter’s performance right now,just forget champion and euro league,and we will be a mediocre team!!
I’m indonesian, i hate thohir, you are bullshit.
Last game against Chivu was a proof that its not Mazzarri’s fault. This team is not good enough. Milito is too old. and the only player who can give Inter the touch of quality is Palacio.
The problem is not the players dont want to come. its whether we have the money to pay them. offcourse no one will come if we are to cautious about our budget.
I’m not buying this consolidation crap, Thohir needs to shake his pocket.
Inter is a big club. but its now turning into a retirement home, with players like chivu, samuel, zanetti and cambiasso still play when they should have gone years ago. Maybe Zanetti should stay because he is a legend.
No one forgets the great titles they achieved. Life goes on
Our rebuilding process is very slow its been 4 years since the tripleta. we need quality players and fresh blood.
I agree we should be a little patient but i just worry where we start a vicious cycle of not qualifying for champ league losing all that money an no players wanting to come.
I think i would have been best if Tohir bought the club after January transfer, in that case at least he wouldn’t be redeculed by us fans because he won’t spend…..we just have to wait and see what will happen in the summer and who will be brought in to get Inter to where this guy want to lead our team……hopefully it’s to the top in matter of 2-3 years…..and that the new stadium will also be a reality as soon as 2016/2017…..
No use to hope for a big signing in this transfer window then….maybe and just maybe Thoir will give Mazzari and the fans a great buy for the future if the opportunity is given…..that’s what iam hoping for at least…..
From a business standpoint I get that we need to get our finances straight but not signing high quality players to improve the team is stupid
we should have never sold the club to this guy.
Compare inter and Leeds United? And bought would then Leeds United, he bought the club with the HISTORY, and not what any of West Ham, and don’t want to invest?
Here everything is clear, he wants to stupid to be welded on inter, when will understand that it is impossible, and it will soon sell the club. Fucking yellow pig.
And you are not an ideal president for Inter! Go away!!! Merda Thohir!
Huge lier.
You have no intention to help Inter.
Go back to your country.
