Summer Mercato 2010

there are ways to get another Non EU player, im sure in the past i have heard about smaller teams buying non eu players, and sell them to the bigger clubs.

or we buy a player say jucelei and send him immediately to a smaller team like parma or chievo on loan for half the season and redeem him in january.

We are apparently close to getting Honda:

- CM: Honda, Jucilei
- AM: Honda, Lazzari, VDV, Oezil (unlikely, but since he's 15M...)
- ST: Ibra, Dzeko, Fabiano

We don't need Krasic in this formation, Hernanes is no longer an alternative, Jucilei is too young. So I will pick Honda or Dzeko, but we have Huntelaar-Pato-Borriello and Inzaghi (for one year at least) already, while Pirlo-Flamini-Seedorf/Ambro isn't really convincing for a season long... so Honda got my vote.

Things will be different if we can do (Hunter+money)/Dzeko swap.

Any prospect getting Santon on loan?

A note: Lazzari is AM, but his position in Cagliari last season was LCM. Allegri uses him deeper because he can play long balls. But he's very versatile, so in one moment in the game he can be DM, CM, or AM. He was very important for Allegri last year, so I'm sure Allegri will take him.

Regarding Santon, I would love him here, but it's unlikely. It could be possible if Benitez doesn't have him in his plans.

If there is only one non-eu spot for this season, Honda should be the one as he is much needed.

Although Jucelei, Ganzo, Hernanez and Dzeko are all great but Honda is something really special. To me Ganzo will be the next big thing of Brazil but he said he wants to remain in Brazil. Maybe Milan can sign him in Jan

I think Morretti would rather sell Santon to Juve than Milan

i think we are doing very well if we pull off honda and Lazzari in terms of transfers. that would only leave a striker to get.
as i see we got a gk first Ameilia
then defenders with Papa, and Yepes(technically we got him first)
midfielders netxt then a striker.

plus we added youth from the primevera team. definately not as bad as i taught we would have done to this point.

i would love if we would pick up a young talented italian prospect as well. Maybe Hunterlaar and cash for Aquilani and babel?

If I remember correctly, yes, Lazzari's natural position is everywhere at left flank: wingback, midfielder, winger. He's very versatile, yes. Non-EU, Italian, Serie-A established player, cheap, Allegri's favourite, all yes. Even with B&G at helm I know no reason why Lazzari won't join us.

Argh $h!t. He is the only Inter player I like.

And yet our fullback problem, the most annoying of all our problems, is far from solved. Sokratis, as some people said here, is NOT a fullback YET. He will make better of his potentials by deputising Thiago Silva. Abate, Antonini, Oddo, Zambrotta... well, what can I say? I'd like us to go after Kolarov, something which, in ideal world, we would have done 1 or 2 years ago because of our good friendship with Lazio.

At last, we got a rumor linked us with Lazzari (as it should be placed last month by time Allegri came!). There are 2 things I noticed here:
- none of Italian clubs are interested in Lazzari (which is quite weird considering Fiorentina, Napoli, Palermo, and top 4 clubs are strengthening).
- this article mentions that Strasser could be availabe. So, the co-ownership deal with Genoa places Strasser (and Oduamadi and Zigoni) stays with us?

And...

When I saw the title I thought Rosicky would replace Krasic... but no, Honda's possibility of moving are seriously bigger then.

Report: Genoa sign Veloso
Friday 23 July, 2010
Genoa have pulled off another coup with the signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 24-year-old joins fellow Portugal international team-mate Eduardo and Luca Toni among Genoa's new arrivals this summer.

Milan and Fiorentina were also interested in Veloso, but Genoa persevered even when it looked like the player himself wasn't convinced by the project at Marassi.

La Gazzetta understands Veloso will sign for €6.5m plus Alberto Zapater in exchange. He will pen a four-year contract with the Grifone.

Genoa are also understood to have beaten Napoli to the signing of Hoffenheim midfielder Franco Zuculini.

He looks set to arrive on loan until the end of next season when they'll have the right to buy him for €6.5m.

lucky for us we are close to genoa, so if he plays well, we can maybe sign him
unfortunate for us so Inter is also close to genoa.
