Guys, I just realized something here.

Lets take the Morata sale. We purchased him for 20m on a 5 year contract. Based on accounting methodology, we would have booked an annual amortization charge of EU4m per year. His net salary would have been around 3-3.5m?, meaning his gross would have been ~EU6m. Morata was costing the club EU10m per annum. His book value after 2 years would therefor be 12m. So by selling to Madrid for 30m, we booked a gain on his sales of 18m. In terms of the books for this financial year, Morata goes from -10m effect on the Profit before tax to a positive effect of 18m - that is a 28m swing.

Now Zaza - Assume Wolfsburg actually pay the 30m being speculated. We bought him on a 5 year contract for 20m - same annual amortization of 4m per year. Wages would be lower - say gross is around 3-4m per year. After one year, his contract book value is 16m, meaning we would book a 14m gain on his sale. His annual cost was therefore 7-8m per year and now we get a 14m gain - that is a 22m swing.

So Zaza and Morata sales would contribute to a 50m positive swing in year 1 but after the gains are excluded the swing is 18m.


Now, Pjaca. Lets assume the fee is 22m for a 5 year contract at net wages of 2.5m per year (5m gross). His total cost per year would be 9.5m.

So if we bought a young striker with a transfer fee as high as 50m on a 5 year contract with wages of 3m net or 6m gross, that player's cost would be 16m per year. We would still be ahead on year 1 by a lot but 7-8m behind for the years after that.

In this scenario overall effect on P&L is as follows:

16/17 = +24.5m
17/18 = -7.5m
18/19 = -7.5m

Net effect over 3 years is still positive - so doesn't hurt FFP considerations.

Bottom line is, we do have reasonable fire power to upgrade the attack if Zaza was sold in addition to Pjaca.

Of course, I am only taking the forwards in isolation and not considering the expenditures / sales in other departments.

Icardi is one of the most overrated player in Italy. He disrupts so many attacks with the way he plays. He constantly tries to get in behind the defensive line and expects a pinpoint pass. Which has to be a pinpoint perfect pass because he is quite slow, and if he gets the ball in a position that isn't a shooting position he has very little dribbling ability. So basically what happens is Inter typically play with 10 players because the majority of the time Icardi isn't in a position to receive the ball. This isn't 1997. Trez or other poacher styled strikers are not going to cut it. Not to mention Icardi is lazy. He doesn't track back and he doesn't pressure defenders much. Which is fine for some sides, but have you seen how we play? Mandzukic runs himself into the ground while Dybala rests for the most part. Do you really want Icardi to come and force Dybala to work hard instead? Have people forgotten how fatigued Dybala got even without him working that hard?

I will defend Icardi's attitude though. He's not some crazy party boy with a bad attitude. He's just a selfish striker with a mom fetish. Doesn't mean I want him here though. There is a reason why Inter's attack hasn't been good for several seasons despite supposedly having one of the best forwards in Italy. Because Icardi despite being a clinical finisher hurts the side he plays for more than he helps it.

he is very clinical and has excellent off the ball movement. Thats his main and probably only asset but he can be very useful. He scores a lot for a midfield whose most creative player is brozovic. We dont have their creative problems at all. We have pjanic too now so expect many pin point passes and through balls if not combos. He is a dick but I would definitely like him as our new striker he should easily score 15-20 goals when surrounded by our guys. I would still prefer a truly world class striker though that is more well-rounded.

Why? Arent we full in that department.

How many players we need to compete for three places.

And regarding this

Inter are willing to accept Sporting CP's request of €50m for Joao Mario, who will be indirectly purchased via Suning FC.
The Italians are in talks for the 23-year-old midfielder, whose price-tag might have ruled him out of the Nerazzurri's market a few months ago.
However, new owners Suning have apparently no qualms about the €50m being requested by the Portuguese, and are keen enough on the player to go ahead with the move.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player's agent Kia Joorabchian is currently in talks with Inter to find the most satisfactory deal for all parties involved.
Once a deal is agreed in principle, Inter will make an official offer, or perhaps more aptly, Suning will. The player will in fact formally be purchased by Suning FC, who will then loan it to the Biscione.
It's not entirely clear how this move would reflect itself on the Financial Fair Play regulations that Inter have to comply with. Normally the Serie A club would have to balance an expense of €50m with a similar revenue made by selling one of their players, but as Joao Mario is being purchased on paper by Suning, the limit may not apply.

How the ffp will deal with such kinds of deals.
