are we (inter) having the worst transfer period in the history of football?
so far:
out - coutinho, sneijder
in - Rocchi (35yr old)
we won't be getting paulinho. players we're linked to us realistically are Andreolli, schelotto, and some dude called bilga or something. our managment is f'd up beyond belief. our transfer "guru" was even on vacation... during the transfer window. we've "run out of time" again. it's sad to be an inter fan at the moment, the management are just comical and i haven't even mentioned 10% of how idiotic they've been

I actually rate Biglia. Would be a smart signing but not really a great signing, which inter need right now.
But none the less, would be a decent buy.
Is Rocchi official!?

rocchi has already played for us haha. he looks.. uh.. like an out of favour 35 yr old lazio player.. oh wait he is
and yea i watched a bit of bilgia on youtube. looked somewhat decent. an improvement to the squad, but not an impactful signing

Still less frustrating than Arsenal's transfer activity this window.

In terms of competition, Barca getting rid of Eto'o+40m and bringing in Chyrgrygygzygzygz, Keirrison, and Maxwell wasn't a great window either
But I think ours is still way worse than that lool

Nah Dalglish getting rid of the majority of our team that finished 2nd two seasons on the trot and replacing them with two 38 yr old journey men is way worse.
We probably have more examples as well tbh our transfer policy was a f*cking joke before Ashley.

Could be worse. Like the window where we sold Ibra and TS. Or the window where we sold Kaka.
And this...
Despite our fierce rivalry with Inter, it's a bit disconcerting to see them sell Coutinho. I mean, this kid was being compared to SES earlier in the season. Now, he's effectively being replaced by a guy who could retire as soon as the season is over. Getting rid of Sneijder was a good deal. It needed to be done. I think it's time for Inter to take the same youth approach that Milan are.
And this...
Arsenal are the kings of bad transfer windows. Haven't done good business for a while now. First, the stadium was an excuse for not spending, now who knows?Rev wrote:Still less frustrating than Arsenal's transfer activity this window.

Re: are we (inter) having the worst transfer period in the history of football?
does any 1 else find it strange the average football fan could probably do far better jobs then most "transfer directors"?. i no their are other underlying issues that effect transfers but alot of transfers leave u wondering wtf.. it's even worse when youre club lies to you saying they will bring in this player then they say they have no money just be honest ffs.

No.
Then again I do not for a second believe that the "average football fan" or even most of the heavily dedicated fans could do a comparable job, much less a better one.

Settle down, drama queens. The winter transfer window is for emergencies, since everything is more expensive then. Clubs only buy if they have to.
And what is this talk of Arsenal? Didn't they just buy Podolski and Giroud? How is that anything but pretty good business?

the retard examples i mean: ac milan signing balotelli when they have defensive problems, carrol 35 mil, amauri 22.5 mil, barca signing that churgynsky guy for something like 25 mil when he was unproven in a top league. inter selling coutinho at the last days of the transfer market when they need an attacking mid and they hadn't signed a replacement.

i genuinely believe our transfer director "marco branca" doesn't actually use logic and reason when choosing targets. i really believe he has personal issues that inflict his decisions and he signs mediocre players hoping they turn out good so he can be called a "genius" etc. i think anyone on this forum could choose targets better tbh
also apparantly we've practically signed Schelotto and Kuzmanovic from Stuttgart

And again, I think there are circumstances around each of those deals that most fans fail to take into account or intentionally ignore.
Even ignoring the (multitude of) other factors in the Carroll deal, many LFC fans were excited despite the price.
And I am certain that fans of the other clubs mentioned could bring forth fairly logical reasons why the other transfers happened as well, assuming they could put aside personal bias and/or hindsight.

i think that's clutching at straws a bit redoraje. can those transfers be reasoned? yea they can in some ways ofc. but reasoning them isn't the point. the point is could most people on this forum have chosen a better transfer? i think so, easily

And I disagree.
There is always some combination of ignorance, arrogance, and naivety involved in sports fans at any given time, and this is the perfect example of it in my opinion.

so it's just bad luck that we've had bad transfer windows one after another? it's not that our transfer director is crap? he's a professional and just got unlucky?

this.
i understand their haseto be a certain home grown player rule as well now but another crazy fad of transfer directors is over paying for british players when they have been well documented in the past to be over priced yet clubs still pay crazy money for them! you seriously wonder what goes through their heads when scrubs like henderson cost 15 mil+

That is not what I said at all. But then I think you probably understood that before even making that post.
There are good and bad, great and terrible professionals within every field. That certainly does not mean that the average layperson would do a solid job that is on par with, much less better than, "most" professionals within the field.
In rare instances when the professional in question is particularly horrid at his job, or the layperson in question is particularly lucky or adept... yes, it is a possibility. But that would by no means be the norm (i.e. applicable in "most" cases)... or, I believe, even a statistically relevant percentage of the cases.

Re: are we (inter) having the worst transfer period in the history of football?
ah then we have very different viewpoints. i think calling a lot of these guys professionals is comparable to calling Figo "a professional ambassador" instead of some cushy retirement job (which it is in reality). so yea fair enough, guess the debate ends there

I don't see how signing Balotelli is a bad thing. It was now or never for us to get Balotelli.

I'm not surprised seeing that Moratti said he won't be buying anyone in this window unless they get rid of some players n bring in some cash first...
