I feel like you’ve had this kind of rhetoric in past seasons debunked before

So, you're telling me you're ok with that approach? The approach where we spend half a season trying to figure shit out because of too much chopping and changing. Eventually, we're gonna lose the Serie A title, and if we continue selling our best players, we won't be making an impact in Europe for much longer. With Buffon retiring, Chiellini and Barza nearing the end of their careers, and other players nearing their sell by date (Khedira for one), we should maintain the young core we have at our disposal and complement them with quality. I feel selling both Sandro and Dybala is a step in the wrong direction and will signal the beginning of our regression, especially if Inter continue investing and maintaining their core.

I would like us to retain our best players for once; show some balls instead of bending over and taking it up the ass when we see money.

Do you see Bayern selling their best players every year? They don't have a sugar daddy or endless supplies of cash like City and/or PSG, but they somehow manage to retain their best players and remain competitive in Europe, even winning a CL title not too long ago. I'd like our board to remain committed to doing well in Europe, and I don't feel a model where you behave like a 2nd rate team by selling your key players (and most marketable assets I might add) contributes to that.

We need to sell top player to fund a player signing this summer Alex sandro might leave to buy SMS

Why aren’t you happy?

Because Alex sandro has not signed a new contract

Herein lies the problem. We shouldn't need to fucking sell to fund anything. What kind of shit model is that? What are our marketing department doing? This approach is not sustainable in the long term. Ideally, we should be adding to the squad, complementing existing star players, not getting rid of one to replace another. That's fucking stupid and counterproductive.

I'm ok with that. TBH, I think we'll win a 7th straight title and then miss out on another Serie A title for 2-3 years. I just want us to remain a force in Europe and not become a footnote. I want to see us win that CL title, and selling to buy is not going to accomplish that. I'd hate for us to become another Arsenal. If Agnelli and Co. can't keep us among the European Elite, then sell to some Arabs or whatever.

 

[pitbull]

How are Roma and Napoli a top club juve are the only top club in serie a with other clubs being far behind so there is no difference if he plays for Roma or lazio

They participate in the CL with some kind of regularity, therefore are Italy's top clubs. Of course we're way superior to them, I agree, but Id rather trust Naingollan or Hamsik to succeed at PSG f.e. than SMS, they have been at teams competing for trophies

What about selling one to buy two starters? Mathematically it will stop when we have reached WC in every spot

If we're talking starters like Khedira to replace Vidal, then fuck no. That's what I call a downgrade, and it's not because Khedira is a bad player (I don't like him, but he's decent) but because Vidal is unique.

I never forgave Moggi for selling Zidane, and I will never forgive Marotta for giving away Vidal for cheap. Pogba was a huge loss, but for me, the Vidal loss was for greater to bear.

See our transfer budget mostly gets spent on players wages our commercial revenue is not comparable with top clubs in Europe that is why we target free agent like de vrij and can

 

[Fr3sh]

No. You know what's too far. Selling Bonucci, Vidal, Pogba, Sandro, and potentially Dybala in only 7 seasons! That's half a team of world class players in under a decade. You don't win CL titles by doing that.

It's tradition!

Then work on increasing commercial revenue. You can't increase your commercial revenue by investing in duds like Sturaro or Darmian. No one gives two shits about players like that. Fans identify with an element of fantasy. Teams feared us when we had DP and Zidane because they made fans dream. Players like Sturaro, Khedira, and Darmian put you to sleep.

Yes but where will money come from we are not man utd city or psg to buy SMS we need 60 to 80 million euros we have already spent 40 million on Costa

 

[zizinho]

He dooesnt play for a top club in Italy, those woud be Juve, Roma, Napoli. Lazio belong with Milan, Inter, Fiorentina, Atalanta etc, they're the Everton/Valencia/Marseille of Italy

SMS is a WC talent, but no one knows what happens whe he's dealing with immennse pressure like Dybalaa right now

they have been a top 5 club in Serie A for the last 4 years, have reached 2 Coppa finals, but i didnt realize a country was allowed to have only 3 top clubs. if SMS with his talent was performing the way he does under pressure for a Juve or even a Dortmund, hed be going for much, much more than 60M, we wouldnt even mention him on this forum. you either overslept the last 2 mercatos or dont realize how much the transfers have gone up, because for you to think that Lazios best player and one of the best in Serie A, a prototype modern b2b attacking CM, at the age of 22 is not worth 60M, i dont know what else the reason must be. hed easily go for 60M, probably close to 100M depending on which and how many EPL clubs will be after him. we missed our chance last summer, but i guess its never a good idea to pay 50-60M for a young player that was going to double his value in 1-2 years, and go for expensive and proven 29 yos that will decline in 2-3 years and no one will want to take them off our budget

A fan of italian football complaining about criminality of owners of other leagues. FFS our president is being investigated, Calciopoli happened and Berlusconi owned and ran AC milan for decades.

You are just racist.

Careful, the veil almost slipped.

Fucking pennypincher Marotta will miss on another gem.

jokes on us. he played in Italy since 2015 and we never went seriously after him

 

[X Æ A-12]

Nor did any of the other big clubs seeing as how he is still at lazio and that he plays in Italy is a disadvantage because Lazio would probably sell to anyone (bar maybe Roma) over us.
