Cesar would go back to Brasil or at best get a few years as a starting goalie in a team with lower expectations. He isn't a bad goalie tbh, but there is no way to make a buck out of him ...
If Lucio adapts to the whole squad member, not a star(ter) player then I don't see too much negatives in this deal. Still there is something fishy about this perception of the smart Marotta and the stupid inter GMs. Either those players were on an astronomical salaries and a very poorly distributed bonus system or there was some kind of informal agreement behind the scenes.

Marotta isn't half as bad as I though him to be at first, but that is even beyond him. A move like that whispers 'Moggi on crack' all around ... unless Inter had an angle as well. For instance that torino defender might have one less suitor now...
Inter seems in ruins though ... maybe they've had some unpleasant preliminary talks with UEFA's FFP dept for the next season?

Especially after Farsopoli I was hating on them for some time, but now I feel a bit guilty and inhumane.
It's like having this little gipsy chained in your basement and you are slapping him on a regular basis, but then it suddenly dies and you are sad... (kidding

) TBH I am Quite disappointed of what is happening to them and other italian teams in general. Bronzetti might be right that the next 10 years Calcio will be all about finishing only behind Juventus for other teams. And as much as I am a fan - that ain't good even for us.
