Of course you can. You just buy a starters which costs 10 euros.

Cheeky bid for Laturo Martinez?
Should not leave until Inter buy Lingard
Ancelotti is generally the exception among Serie A managers in Europe this century. Mourinho had that one glorious season at Inter.
Italian teams haven't fared well in European competition over the past 20 years. Inter reaching the final of The Europa League last season was the 1st time an Italian club contested the final since Parma in 1999!
He was toxic when he was at Chelsea, it’s not like he becomes one, he was already one and it’s his nature. He is a stubborn type of manager who hates to admit he is wrong and refuse to take full responsibility and choose to blame others especially moaning to the board.
Why does he need creative winger when he plays 352?
To be fair it was a tough CL group. As tough as ours, hope Inter keeps him since it’s harsh to sack him now. We still need him to do the job for us buying more of our unwanted players.
Not every club favor youth approach. Maybe not inter.
Great youth players comes along every once in a while, you cant rely on youth if the wheel of luck isnt on your side.
And managers dont want to jeopardize their short tenure for blooding youngster with no guaranteed or at least big chance to make it. Why should they? They're on 2 years contract most of the time. Winning games keeps them on the job. Blooding youngster dont.
Even saf took his time (which he earnt), unless a player of ronaldo or rooney or class of 92 caliber comes along our youth ussually starts at 23
Yeah. Also Mancini regularly failed in Europe.
Juventus have reached the CL finals 3 times since 1999.

They're not an old team. Hell, this is why Conte desperately wanted Vidal and Kolarov in the first place, he wanted experienced players to lead them. Which is ironic given Vidal has been a disaster so far

And lost all 3. Juventus have been cursed since the late 90's.
From the mid 80's through to around 2004, the level in Italy was insane. You had 10 teams who could potentially win Serie A, The Champions League, UEFA Cup and Cup Winner's Cup between them.
Maradona's Napoli, Vialli's Sampdoria, Rui Costa's Fiorentina, Ronaldo's Inter, Scala's Parma, Sven's Lazio, Capello's Roma, etc. A nice variety to the league.
Not as predictable.
Please buy Lingard before you leave.
We'll give you Jones, Rojo, Pereira for free as part of our customer loyalty program as well.

Are we all assuming he's leaving now because of the CL showing, or is there actually reports/quotes to suggest hes going to be sacked ?

All players past their respective primes. If this doesn’t constitute an old team in your opinion, then what does?
Their squad is littered with a-lot of absolute nonsense of yesteryear.
They just need Lingard, the missing piece - young and learning too, to balance their aging squad.
And honestly, I can see Lingard suits the slower pace of that league. Will also give them that energy and workrate their team needs.

I think they also need a left footed CB in Rojo.
They were effective rather than impressive last year. This year they haven't been as effective enough. No idea why Eriksen doesn't play behind the strikers.
Conte was brought in, mainly to push Inter back into trophies challenging position, or they would be just Okay with Spalletti earning CL qualification every year. Inter was fortunate to finish 1 point behind Juventus last season, where everyone lost consistency after COVIDS break. Conte blamed that he was not fully back. Now after this summer, Inter had done their part of giving Conte his €100; he has no excuse, if Inter not challenging for trophies. The writings is on the wall.

I think so too, just hit 30, threat in the air, and have good long ball to feed Lukaku's ego. Slower pace league suits him.
And Andreas for long-term and to pull down their average age.
Adding all of these players + the ones in Giorno’s post, Inter’s average age is 29.Love your inclusion of two 28 year olds and Lukaku as inexperienced players

Well then, i stand corrected technically
Still doesn't really change what i meant though. The ideal starting XI isn't old at all(26.5 for the outfield players), they have an old bench. Less important and easier to replace
Didn’t realise Darmian was there as well.
Conye does love buying cast offs from the PL. Would be great if we can sling him a couple more from us before he implodes. Perhaps Rojo and Jones in January?
He’s the Poundland version of Jose.
Erikson, Lukaku, Sanchez, Young and Darmian (although not direct), all PL rejects. Not the best recipe.
Never liked Inter. I respect Young, and hope he does well. Very glad to get rid of the other two from United. Appalling signings.

To struggle so much with their best chance to win the Scudetto since 2011, to go out for another season in the Champions League group stage, they have gone backwards so much in their performances and the club have given him so much power in the transfer market again therefore it is a fair reason to say "Conte must improve the results and performances in the next 3-4 weeks or he must be sacked".
The 3 we sold to them have all been very good for them. Even Alexis, despite some injuries, has 5 goals & 12 assists from just 13 starts in Serie A.
Eriksen is hardly a reject. It hasn't worked out for him at Inter, but he's one of the best midfielders The PL has seen over the past decade.
he was, and Sanchez was a world class player at Arsenal, both well past their best. Potentially Eriksen could get back to his best, but signs are not good, and that’s not just from his time at Inter, but Spurs as well.
the only player who has gone there who had the right attitude and was playing well in the PL was Young - but he was 34. Extremely glad he’s doing well.
Would much prefer if he took Pogba.
Not sure why Conte is getting criticised here also by some. Inter only lost the title by a single point last season. The previous season before he arrived they finished 21 points behind Juventus. Also got to a Europa League final.
That single point was originally by 7 points when the title was finally rubberstamped. Juve lost their last two matches which were meaningless matches.
Wouldn’t say Perisic and Darmian are playing the best football of their careers. Fair point on the bold descriptions on my original reply, but they are still part of the squad and old, even if as a backup or out of the project. Still increases the average ageThat's what Conte thought
And how are Perisic, 31, Darmian, 30, and D'Ambrosio, 32 and playing the best football of his career, past their primes?
If you look at their current position in Serie A and their CL group you'd see why I think.
True but he wasn't able to complete his rebuild due to pandemic, meaning he's only had one summer window so far to build his team in his style. Imagine how bad we'd be under Ole now if he was only allowed 1 summer window. That would mean no Bruno, De Beek, Cavani, Telles while Alexis would still be twiddling his thumbs on the bench.
Didn't Juve make the CL final the year after he left? And again in 2017.
He's of my favourite managers so just odd how he still can't quite translate domestic success into knock out euro football.
Tbh I don't follow Inter so I have pretty much no idea what's going on there.
But at the end of the day the manager job is a results based one. If you're doing not well both in the league and CL then of course the heat is on.
Are you saying this summer counts for OGS, but doesn’t count for Conte?
Even, one of those transfers was directly between the two clubs this summer. Very flawed analysis you have here. We sold Sanchez to Inter, but somehow that doesn’t count?
just looked up there transfer business and they have brought it 9 perm players and Darmian on loan. Cant see how you can say he’s not has a summer window this year!
The fact that Inter who on paper should have a stronger squad than for example AC Milan is trailing them by 5 points already suggests that Conte has done very little to get them back to the level where they want to be.
I think there is a distinct lack of leadership in that squad. Zlatan is literally carrying what was a broken squad when he came in almost a year ago to new heights. Some good players yes, but there are no real leaders.

Guess they got in Godin to do that but he struggled with 3atb.
