Is Bony to City really happening?

What will happen to Jovetic then?

Congrats Robes! You have now got both Podolski and Shaqiri. Who is next?

 maybe the next will be a DM . We are close also to Susic, Bosniac midfielder born in 1992 , but I don't know him

Basically I don't understand just a thing : but so why weren't us on Cerci ? Or it was a bluff  ?

I mean , Cerci first target and 2nd Shaqiri / Podolski ?!?
It doesn't make sense ffs Good for us lol.

Definitely , Podolski and especially Shaqiri are going to help Inter a lot . From the moment Shaqiri gets official , Inter is well back in the race for 3rd place trophy . I don't know if Inter will get it , but they should be fighting for it . So how is Inter going to be playing with Shaqiri in Robes?

As for Milan , Galliani got Cerci and now he's been playing that old cassete tape again , if no one leaves , no one comes

buh bye 3rd place

Congrats i guess.

Pretty disgraceful mercato we're having.From losing out on Shaqiri to desperately trying to sign Sneijder.

As things stands,signing no one would be somewhat of a relief to me especially with the constant trash we've been linked with.

Shaqiri is a terrific signing but he makes Inter a strong candidate for next season's third place, IMO it's too late for this one. 8 points from both Napoli and Lazio having to play away against both of them, plus there's the EL which Mancini repeatedly said he'll be going for. Yea, EL is probably the best way for Inter to get CL

the way I remember it, Mancini is notoriously bad in European competitions no?

M'gladbach want to try and win the EL, too. And a couple other teams as well

Yes, unfortunately he is this .
About it , I am curious to see who will be inserted in Europa League list , Shaqiri or Podolski . We can include just one player to have already played in Champions League.

Yea he is, but maybe with this winter signings and the fact that it's EL and not CL we're talking about, makes me think they do have a chance.

So who is going to replace Shaqiri at Bayern? Reus? no one?

3rd place will be a fight Napoli-Lazio
Inter is going to play with 4-2-3-1 now , Shaqiri and Podolski as winger

Milan needs of a CF , would you take Osvaldo ?

He is going away already in this January according sources, and he is not training with the team today ( another signal) ,
Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky talk about Boca Juniors ( his favourite club) , Milan and Fiorentina on him .
Although I ' d kept until June  , if he goes away it would be as having just a CF , Podolski is not CF and Palacio is finished .

No , i wouldn't want him at Milan tbh. Seems unstable , i've had my fare share of unstable striker with Balotelli no thanks . I don't see Fiorentina getting him either , but who knows really. Gomez and Rossi are always out injured , maybe they take him on some sort of loan or anything.

As for the 3rd place , i know it won't be easy , but imo , Inter could manage it with Shaqiri in too. You certainly won't finish far behind even if you don't get it , i know that much .

As for Milan searching for a CF , yeah , not sure what to comment . Inzaghi's girlfriend Menez doesn't think it likely , but i would welcome the hunt for a really good CF . Especially if it means that Pazzini is leaving , i'd consider Osvaldo even .

Do they even need to replace Shaqiri ?

Aah finally! the deal is more expensive than initially though (18m) but its well worth a player like shaqiri. 3rd place is a pluasable possibility now but it will require some heroics and good luck. I'm really looking forward to our next match man, excited like it's early 2000s

tbf according Di Marzio now we got him on a free  loan with obligation to buy for 15 mln  + 2 mln  bonus (1 mln related to UCL and  another 1 mln related to apps )

Quote me

1. Juve 88 points
2. Roma 85 points
3. Inter 77 points
4. Napoli 77 points
5. Lazio 75 points
6. Milan 74 points

I think Roma will win this year.

good job inter and props to shaqiri for not going to a shit teams like stoke for money

Shaqiri and Podolski will add more than their skills, they represent a messege from our leadership to the dressing room and the fans that this is a team with a serious and ambitious project. The psychological boost should be huge.

This sunday Inter hosts Genoa, Lazio plays Roma in the dery, and Napoli hosts juvi. We might be speaking of a 5 point gap comes sunday

I should pipe the *bleep* down

Shaqiri had already fallen back in the pecking order after Götze and now Bernat arrived.
He didn't even start when both Ribery and Robben were out injured at the beginning of the season.
Thiago will, if god allows, be back too in some not too distant future.

So he doesn't really need direct replacing right now.

Bayern has confirmed that they have reached an 'agreement in principle' with Inter about Shaqiri's sale and the player will in all likelihood have a medical tomorrow and then sign a contract in Milano.

As for Reus, pretty sure we will try/are trying/have already tried to get him, but something tells me he's not coming.

The deal had to be closed yesterday but Everton inserted on race to sign him , but Shaqiri wanted only Inter. This according Di Marzio.

It had to be 2 now and 13 this summer, instead it is 0 + 15 .
Always 15 totally , but it changes  for us because it doesn't load  the financial budget this year.
I  knew it  the great Rummenigge would have helped us, we're his 2nd team

The fundamental thing is not let going the ball  on our scrub defence
