Right but if he comes at no loan fee, his amortization is 3m for 6 months. Obviously not ideal but we're bridging a gap not buying him. He is proven in Serie A, struggling in the farmer's league, and maybe we take advantage of some other team's misfortune and get a deal for 6 months of goals.
Our xG are horrible this year meaning we're creating chances ( a lot) and not finishing. Icardi is a poacher proven in Serie A, he fits the bill of what we're looking for short-term. Clinical striker who is Serie A proven and coming relatively cheap without any strings attached (hopefully). And it would be great if he bangs in a goal against Inter just to see the seethe.

Looks like maybe not. Obviously these aren't 100% but as close to as possible. Salarysport is close enough to guess imo.
