Inter Milan

Drinks on me tonight Interistas. Lets drown our sorrow in alcohol.

16 defeats, yes... 16.

what a season, 9th place? at least i'll be able to look forward to the 'media circus' as strama put it; in his interview he did hint at moratti having a look at the coach, directors and staff... could we in for a total revolution or just a few tweaks to lay for the future foundation of inter? an Inter that is aiming for a top three? or a scudetto competitive squad? much of it will hing on what is in the bank... what i would give to see our budget lol.

wish strama all the best as in the next few days... as the type of coach we're moving forward with will be a huge indicative of how our transfer campaign will fold.

lol We took a beating today. I have never been so disinterested in watching Inter Milan matches. I really hope we buy star players.

well, Di Natale with a great goal. Would be nice if an inter player could score a goal like that.

I read a story that Ranocchia might be sold to Juventus. If that happens, the entire Inter board should lose there jobs. On what planet do you sell your best defender to your most hated rival?

here is hoping for a good game tonight and hopefully WITHOUT any injurys! also keep an eye on Basta, heard he is being considered for the role of RB.

Finally the worst season in Serie A history for Inter is coming to an end. I'm really looking forward to seeing what moves they will make during the summer market. I think there's no way in hell Inter should sell Handanovic to Barcelona, much less for Montoya, Bartra or Song. I consider Handanovic to be one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world. It's not his fault that Inter's defense sucked this season. I'm sure Barcelona feel the same way and that's why they're gunning for him.
They already had a great early start in the market by acquiring Campagnaro and R. Botta at zero cost. They'll be two great additions to a bruised and battered Inter side. Know I just hope they learned their lesson from last couple of years and keep their young talents. They need to bring back Longo, Duncan and Livaja. They have to keep Mbaye, Benassi, Spendlhofer, Pasa, Olsen and Garritano in the first team and give them a chance to shine.
It's the beginning of a new era for Inter and in order to have have space for some new blood, they have to get rid of some old scars. I think Rocchi, Chivu, Stankovic and Samuel should gracefully bow out or be sold to another team. They did way more harm than good to Inter this last season by never being able to get healthy and contribute on the pitch. They're just taking up space on the first team roster.
As for other players coming in, I don't think they should go crazy and spend a lot of money. It would be great if they could sign Sanchez or Markovic, but both players are way too expensive and have publicly expressed that Inter wouldn't be their first choice if they left their current clubs. I think the first step should be resigning Gargano from Napoli. He was one of the few players that came in and made an immediate difference. After that, they should work on finishing the deal for Andreolli, who would be a great addition to the defense along with Campagnaro. They should also take Cap Zanetti's advice and sign Perruzi. He's been saying publicly for years now that Peruzzi would be the perfect heir. And WHO at Inter can refuse the words of the Eternal Captain. It would be great if he could have him under his wing for a year before he decides to retire.
If they let go of Mariga and Stankovic, they will need another solid physical midfielder. I believe the best choice for Inter would be Nainngolan. He's an awesome player, very physical and already tested in Serie A. They could get him for 6 - 7 million and fill that spot, without having to spend 20 million for Markovic. After that, they can just resign Cassano and get Weiss from Pescara at zero cost who is a young and talented offensive midfielder.
The biggest decision that Inter will have to make is deciding who will be the manager next season. I think Stramaccioni did all that he could with what was available to him, but I don't think he's ready to shine in Serie A. Signing Mazzari would be the best option. It wouldn't only make Inter a better team, but it would also create all sorts of turmoil in Napoli if he and Cavani leave. I believe that if he has a successful year managing Inter, he could probably convince Hamsik to join him for his second year.

INTER X SEMPRE!!! FORZA NERAZZURRI!!!

so far with all the player being linked to Inter, except for the usual suspects, i would jizz my pants if we got Fabregas and Di Maria, i know it's not gonna happen but we do have Handa and that could give us an edge and i'd even sell Guarin and Palacio to get that money needed for Di Maria... as for Fabregas, he would compliment Kovacic so wellllllllllll, it would allow Kovacic to move from playing as a deeplying playmaker to a central mid and protect him from taking knocks as he'll need to defend and keep other players off from targeting him... that's too much to ask of the kid. instead give him the chance to do some damage upfront whilest being protected by two wide wingers as the opposing teams will need to concentrate on them rather than him and he'll have Fabregas who can help him by attracting some of the attention (like how Iniesta and Xavi compliment each other at Barca) matter of fact Barca would be the ideal club for Kovacic lol.

think of it this way... juve have pirlo but they also have Marchisio and Asamoah along with two exceptionally good wingers who can also defend and are quick, which we don't at the moment... Napoli have Hamsik but they also have Inler and Behrami and Hamsik is more of a attacking central midfielder than anything... Guarin and Kovacic won't work unless you sadly sacrifice Kovacic as a deeplying playmaker and you get another CM to play alongside Guarin to compliment the two... or a DM and push Kovacic more central but i can't figure out players that could compliment those two that well and even add more dynamics to the team...

the big question is do Guarin and Kovacic really go well together? or perhaps they just need a third pure central midfielder and they'll be forced to defend altogether and take turns to go forwards but i doubt that could work so well at all times? but the most ideal situation with those two would be kovacic as a AM and Guarin as CM and limit him in the central part along with a player that compliments Guarin but then we'd be exposed in the midfield as we'd only have two defending midfielders who really aren't cut out for it and Kovacic isn't really a AM IF we do get another DM alongside Guarin...

however for us to get Fab and Di, then we'll def have to offload Handa, Guarin, Alvarez, Pereira, Palacio and Nagatomo (I would keep Pereira and Alvarez)... but i think inter will opt for another CM alongside Guarin and keep Handa, but that would mean for Kovacic to track back and take some knocks which would prevent him from reaching his full potential and if he gets injured we're out of fortune as we'll have to rely on Guarin as a AM lol!

why do i have a bad feeling that strama is at risk of being sacked? with one more game left to go... is moratti looking around to see who could continue with the project inter started two seasons ago? and is strama at fault of being that he, like myself, would like to see SOME changes to that project? and doesn't believe in the type of project the president is insisting on? (relying on the current crop of players that are at the club plus some players that are of similar style that the coach wanted like our summer signings and january ones)

wow, much of if strama will stay or not will depend on if he can get his way... and that doesn't go well with our president, remember Rafa? or even Gasp? the only two coaches that worked so well for inter thus far are(prior to the president spending big money)... Mancini and Mou who got players of the characteristics they wanted and did well with the available squad... the big question will be; is strama capable of getting something out of this current squad or does strama want a complete overhaul, which would mean SPENDING BIG MONEY!!!!! and in turn rub the president off in the wrong way... since the type of players he felt could help him didn't do so well, along with the already available players. did strama fail in requesting for the right players? and is the president willing to open up his wallet yet again!?! despite strama failling to do anything with the players he already got? or is strama willing to keep quite and work with JUST these players and the ones coming in during the summer either through sales or bosman? because from what i understood from what strama has been saying is that there needs to be some changes and the president has been saying 'we have a project!'

there can only be two outcomes, as i see it, one the status quo remains and strama will have to prove himself again with what he already got and some cheap inforcements during the summer. OR and that's a big OR... we will see strama have his way and we could be in for some exciting times... which i doubt because that would mean for the president to spend and spend according to the way strama likes, which isn't gonna be cheap or risk free.

Haha I read this on FN and thought it was funny.

" BWAHAHAHAHAHAH Fernando has just been stretched off the field few minutes ago in Porto-Benfica match, i guess he will spend the night cursing Inter for showing interest in him LOL "
