People here wanted us to finally spend big money and we're doing so.

So far 120 million and AM is coming.

What else do you want? Marotta to sell players we basically got for free while we're getting rid of their fat pay-checks?

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

We're rich bitch.

Some moves were inevitable.

2 big mistakes though: selling Vidal and signing Zaza. Mainly selling Vidal, obviously. Should have hold onto him. Too many changes on a summer, the transition should have gone smoother.

I agree with this to an extent, but we should easily have picked up 5 mil for Llorente. No, I'm not saying 10 mil, or even 8 mil... but 5 mil for a player with Llorente's pedigree is a bare minimum.

I think the transition has been about as good as you could have hoped for except for the Vidal move. I think we fucked up a bit by selling him with no plan to get a #10 in here.

The thing is the transition has been more gradual than we realize. Today we wake up with Rugani, Coman, Sturaro, Dybala, Morata, Sandro, Pereyra, Berardi. Where did all this youth come from?

I think we can all remember Inter's dominant teams and then how quickly they fell apart. It was like a switch flipped and they turned to ash. Marotta is just doing his best to prevent that.

And for every small misstep he makes, he takes one giant step forward that we never properly acknowledge. Coman for $0 and now we have $20M offers a year later? That's a big positive for me. Rugani for $7M and now we're laughing at $22M offers from our rivals? It's like stealing. Marotta probably made at least $40M in added value from those 2 players alone and we don't even think about it.

When people just see deals like cuadrado and start to do some comments like: thank god we sold Vidal in 37m cuz he was over or we paid 18m for zaza cuz we dont have more choices or we left tevez and llorente for free cuz our hands are tied or we can get an AM cuz there's noone our there

It's just :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Can we celebrate our wins and admit our mistakes?

That €5m wouldn't have made any difference anyway.

We are not getting any top AM.
Yeah. I agree with this... it's more a matter of principle. It seems so ridiculous to let our players go for free before the end of their contracts. Clearly there was some interest in Llorente, in the 5-10 mil range... Rescinding his contract so he can go to the club of his choosing seems crazy.
