It is an Inter that could win the Scudetto. In today’s edition Tuttosport has no doubts when reporting on a transfer market in which Inter bought as many as nine players, eleven if you add Biabiany and Manaj.
“Nerazzurri for the Scudetto? The pitch will tell, but the movements of the summer demands it. The first two rounds certainly tell of an improved Inter since last season and now the team has also strengthened in the areas that Mancini still considered insufficient. Not counting the money collected from the sales and the payments of purchases from preceding transfer markets (Dodò, Medel, Brozovic), Inter – considering the redemptions and bonuses that will have to be made in between 12 to 24 months – has in this market invested somewhere around 126 million (about half on loans and outright purchases), given that Santon was bought for 3.7 million. With a market like that, and without the commitment of the European cups, it is impossible to hide. The minimum target of Champions must not be missed, otherwise President Erick Thohir will once again revolutionize the squad next summer and other sales like the one of Kovacic will be needed to make ends meet.”

except instead of selling kovacic, well sell icardi…
Kovacic was more potential than reality. Icardi is already producing.
We must humble. Every team in serie A must treated as a tough opponent. Forbidden to underestimate.
after Kova, Icardi is next. If he will have great season we will sell him to take 2 or 3 players more, but i doupt that he will have the same season like the last one. He scored 20 + goals, because he was alone in attack almost for all season with Osvaldo leaving in Jan. and Palacio with Poldi out of form. Now there are Jovi, Perisic and Ljajic that will score a lot + Palacio. I wish him to repeat the last season.
in my wildest dreams i would never believe that by last years summer that by the end of this transfer window inter would have a squad as we now have. look at the comparison between inter of mazzarri and that of mancini. the quality difference is huge!

The only question mark here is Telles.
Mazzari’s team wasn’t bad, they just underperformed.
players that aren’t good enough tend to do that;)
So we might have still gain income from alvarez saga? And do we still have chances to sell one or two of our fullbacks??
Yes, we might still get money from Alvarez if FIFA forces Sunderland to honor their obligation and buy. And yes, the transfer window is open today for the English league since it ends a day later, so English clubs could buy Nagatomo and such if they wanted and our players wouldn’t refuse them.
We are too crowded in fullback position. Hopefully, naga and ambro can find his new epl club tonight. I am sure they realize that they wont get any playing time if 8 players competing for 2 spots –‘
This transfer window has been the best in years – we should definitely be contendors for the scudetto but I won’t get my hopes up but I think we will be in the top 3
Movements of summer demand a CL qualification.If we can get the scudetto as well all the better but we’re not the ones under pressure for winning the league.The guys in Turin are.
Torino?
No. It’s juvemerda.
Rube
Transfer window is now over. We have a strong squad, a squad that under a right coach should qualify for CL rather easily. Management did their job. Now its time for Mancini to show what he is made of. We have no European competitions this year, so it’s even easier. We must get atleast CL this year.
nothing is easy dude, we have to stay humble.. almost 90% of our starting line up is a new player.. so we need time to blend them to play as a team.. but top 3 is realistic target for us.. ^^
Scudetto should be the target. At least 2-3rd place should be our priority. We don’t have European games. These players loan deals increases a lot of financial burden in 1-2 years to come. So, a flop is unacceptable. We demand Mancini and the squad to finish the league with UCL right and win Coppa Italia. I don’t like some of those deals though, I am not a coach, so I have no complain. Now it all depends on Mancini. If we fail again, we should burn Mancini’s, Thohir’s and Ausilio’s houses 🙂
We finished 8th last season don’t forget that. If we get 3rd we should be happy.
Burn Mancio’s, not Thohir and Ausilio. Our president and directors have did their best in this mercato by making over Inter squad as required by Mancio. Now it’s time for Mancio to deliver CL spot next season, he has no more excuses left. If he failed and decided to quit, I would like to see Ancelotti, Bielsa or Klopp to continue this grande Inter project. This year is gonna be very interesting to watch. Forza Inter!
ancelotti won’t come.. he refuse thohir before, because he don’t want to hurt bilan fan..
Did you know that Ancelotti is actually an Interisti? So anything can happen. He refused Thohir because he wanted to take a break for a year. If Mancio screwed this project, Ancelotti would bring this grande inter project to the next level.
i know.. but he said it before that he will never joint us, because he don’t want to hurt bilan fans..^^
Not sure if our fullbacks have enough quality but surely telles can’t be worse offensively than Jesus and santon
JJ and santon are fine defensively but on the attack and crossing…
Telles is much better than Jesus.
How do you know? Did you watch him the whole season or just saw his highlights videos? The Galatasaray fans mostly said that he didn’t impress them, and that was in Turkey. I think people expect too much from him, just when they thought that Montoya will be our savior. I still think JJ will start. But I hope for Telles to prove me wrong and play good.
I saw him in one of the Gala games and he was playing decently. Not a superstar, but a decent player offensively and defensively.
just wondering why Montoya not play yet….., mancini seems prefer Naga then him.
I think so too. Telles seems worst of our full backs currently. IMO it goes like Santon > JJ > Dodo > Nagatomo > Telles for the left side, but we’ll see.
I think Dodo should be amongst the last. He has potential, but the boy has no clue on how to defend. He is fit for 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 as the left midfielder, but putting him in 4 at the back as the LB feels too forced, doesn’t do well.
Telles has problem in attacking side, but he he is good in defending. Juan is better in defending, but probably worse in attacking. So I would say both got chance.
He has better crosses than JJ -acturally JJ doesn’t have any kind of cross, the only thing he has is back pass- and he’s a decent player. He’s not Kolarov, but better than our left backs.
Telles is far from having kolarov cross…. he is dodo in attacking at most. But as i said, he is still better in attacking than juan. more balance.
Still better than D’Ambro, and much better than Dodo and Nagatomo.
Even I myself am better than Naga and Dodo!
Dont be over-reacted, Nagatomo is not bad at all during inter period… not a huge fan of him but he did quite well at his first 2 years. Last year he has heavily affected by injury. For me dodo/Nagatomo are more of a wingback than fullback.
Nagatomo is awful (one of the worst I’ve ever seen in Inter shirt) and I’ve been saying it for more than two years. He has made tons of mistakes and costed us too many games and if it was not because of Asian market, he’d have been already kicked out of the club.
Mate, It is so bias and disrespectful for a player who made decent contribution to inter. He is not a super star, but he is decent to play for inter on his peak. 2 years? Are you sure? In 13/14 season, he made 5 goals and 7 assists. It is his best season and still one of the worst? How many of the wingbacks/fullbacks of us can make up to 7 assist a season? How long have you been following inter, from 14/15? Even after the treble year, he is far from “one of the worst player” for us. You can count many more. Do you really mean that ALL inter fullbacks are one of the worst?
And I think Santon is one of the best RBs in Serie A.
same here dude 🙂
sometimes, we fans, including myslef rushed, guided by passion to judge the management too quickly, however; now the window has closed, favorites Kovacic and Hernanes are sold, the squad do look stronger, hell scuditto should be target
We finished 8 last season, this squad will definetly do better than that. Got €11-13m for a finished Hernanes a great deal. Kova deal stinged a little, but then he decided to kiss the real badge, so that sting quickly faded. This have been a great window.
imagine if kovacic do this for purpose, so we interista can move on and let him go with less pain.. ^^
He love Real for sure, a childhood dream for him. But if we insist on keeping him for another season or 2, he will stay without complaint. He is such humble boy with his feet on the ground, thats why we all like him. A likable kid.
we are interista..bleeding black and blue..keep moving on guys..our current no 10 is amazing. 😀
Bleeding black and blue.. I like it. Since I knew inter back at 97/98 when I was at elementarry school. 😀
Me too, bleeding black and blue since 95 while I’m just 9 years old :p
I’ve nothing to say dude. 😀
Amin.
