Inter is on some kind of free agent signing binge right now, already booked Banega, Vilhena and some turkish left back. Did they hire Galliani when we were not looking? Lol. In all seriousness though, that avenue of team building hardly ever works well. High quality free agents are few and far between. If you just sign every name you can find on the free agent list, you basically have to ignore the potential issues associated with each. Issues such as playing style, position redundancy, schematic fit, culture, and a whole bunch of other issues can cause even talented players to struggle. We employed this strategy for years and I hardly call it successful. Vilhena would have been a fun prospect to have given his age and potential, but he is not exactly worth crying over either. Not to mention, Inter has a lot of bodies in that midfield, so a kid like Vilhena will have a hard time even getting playing time. If anything choosing Inter over us could be a decision that set his development back a few years.
