To be honest, Inter’s team is built pretty crappily. They have a bunch of geriatrics all over the pitch, especially in defense. However, they have an excellent midfield, and having a good midfield is probably the most important aspect of building a team. Somehow Tici and Agnelli have forgotten this and have spent extravagant amounts of money on the defense and attack without addressing our biggest issue.
It can be looked at from the other point of view though.
1. Handanovic is a great goalkeeper.
2. Their defense, although it somehow fails miserably once in a while, consists of great players as well. Their fails seem to stem mostly from Conte's inconsistency with the starting eleven, so they often times play without the necessary chemistry due to experiments, rotation, and personal Conte's quirks.
3. They have by far the best midfield in the league, only prime Lazio can come close to them.
4. They have Lukaku - Martinez duo upfront, which already looks like one of those old school duos from the past, and in a good way obviously.
5. They have a stellar bench with players like Vidal and Sanchez, both of whom fit their bench roles perfectly according to the stage of their respective careers, and Perisic, whose career at Inter was sucessfully rebooted thanks to a year spent with Bayern.
To me it's a team that is balanced close to perfection - when we take into account Conte's initial plan, of course. I don't know what Marotta could have potentially done better. Awesome job, even if we factor in the amount of money they spent.
