Rumoured Mauro Icardi

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He just said everything is bs and he will extend the contract once Inter gives him a proper offer.

Yup.  These little stories keep coming out.  His wife/agent is all about extracting maximum value.  He doesn't have much reason to leave, really.

He did have transfer wishes like Sheva, Zhirkov and Torres that he wanted specifically.

Ancelotti wanted Torres.

Zhirkov and Sheva were Abramovich driven buys though, true, particularly Zhirkov being Russian and all

No chance we are signing Icardi in January.

the most boring rumour around, Icardi is.

 

Every. Single. Window.  His next club will be Real Madrid.  He'll never play for us, be real

Any time I see headlines stating that "Abromovic wants so-and-so" I laugh. As if he's a transfer muppet like we are who watches individual players at other clubs. I doubt Roman is involved even a little bit in identifying players. Only time he becomes involved is when he gives the okay to splash huge money.

The one time he got personally involved he fucked us for 5 years LMAO. Apparently we had been scouting Aguero but Roman stopped that and instead had us go for Torres

Literally two posts up there's a link confirming Carlo wanted Torres.

Mauro Icardi latest

https://www.express.co.uk/football/teams/17/chelsea

The agent of Inter Milan star Mauro Icardi has confirmed that Barcelona, Real Madrid and a mystery Premier League are interested in signing the striker.

Nara Icardi, Mauro’s wife and representative, gave a revealing interview with Spanish newspaper AS in which she fuelled the recent transfer speculation.

The Argentina forward's contract runs until June 2021 but talks over a new deal haven’t progressed with Nara claiming the two parties are “very far away” from an agreement.

“Right now, Icardi’s renewal with Inter is very far away,” Nara Icardi told AS. “We’re far from reaching an agreement. The figures being talked about in Italy aren’t true and we haven’t received a satisfactory proposal from Inter yet.

“I won’t deny that we can reach an agreement, but right now we’re very far apart. It’s not logical to renew Mauro’s contract for the amount he currently earns.

“We believe Mauro is worth more than that. There are some very important clubs interested in signing him.

“For example, there are the two biggest clubs in Spain, with whom we have excellent relationships, plus an English team and a French one.”

Has to be either us, Manure, or Victimpool.

Obviously the French team is PSG, which makes sense as Cavani is ageing.

God it kills me to be in such a state.

Heres us being told we have to pay £75mill for Wilson yet Icardi is here we should be kicking punching and biting every sod out there to buy him!

With the amount of players we have that we really need to sell just sitting playing with their belly button fluff. We need to sell them and put it to his transfer!

Just plain daft!

Can we take this on face value or are the clubs being used to help Icardi get paid more for doing what he wants to do anyway, namely stay in Milan? No way for us to know but it's hard to believe that our club wouldn't investigate getting Icardi if was possible.

I fundamentally disagree with this. I'll not be able to provide much evidence to support my opinion that the owner and his son Arkadiy play a big part in identifying targets, but then nor can anyone provide good evidence for an alternate opinion. The view stated here so often that Marina picks transfer targets is, in my opinion, one of the stupidest ideas ever presented on any football forum. Of course she doesn't.

How I think things work, is that our scouts identify the targets, then the viability of signing them is discussed among the board and after drawing their conclusions on how feasible they are to buy, Marina as the lead negotiator will contact the selling clubs and try to get a deal inside the parameters that the board have set.

Somebody has to make the footballing choice, the 'is this player good enough' decision, but other than that I think this is spot on.

This would normally fall to the DOF perhaps, but in our case I think this decision might be a compromise or a consensus between the board, head scout and head coach. Roman, in this day and age, I feel is more of a rubber stamp than an active participator in our transfers like he was in the beginning. I don't have much to base this opinion on, other than looking at the current political climate and thinking he probably has bigger worries on his mind.

Well I see it differently but I probably have even less to base my view on than you do, so your guess has a fair chance to be at least as good as mine.

To be fair what you've described is exactly how Peter Kenyon answered the 'who makes the transfer decisions' question years ago. I always took his answer as code for Roman does but who knows for sure.

I think they look at that option and then Mz Penny Pinscher goes out and tries to get a cheaper option at the position we need.

Or she throws a very low ball offer that gets laughed at and she comes back to the club saying at least we tried.

We have someone in charge of our transfers that knows less about the players the scouts  are telling her (if they do) than I do. And sadly I  see it staying like this till we find ourselves a real DOF that can do a proper job.
