Inter 'agree Grosso terms'

Inter transfer guru Marco Branca has announced the club is working out the final details for Palermo full-back Fabio Grosso.

“We haven’t sealed the deal yet, but we are very close,” confirmed the Nerazzurri technical director this evening.


“We spoke to Grosso today and discussed the matter. I think we’ll get together again in two or three days to put the final details in place.”


Grosso has been at Palermo for three seasons and his form for the side saw him become an Azzurri regular, so far picking up 15 caps for his country and travelling to Germany for the World Cup.


The 29-year-old is also valuable for his set-piece abilities and would suit Coach Roberto Mancini’s 4-4-2 system.


Branca was also asked to comment on Luca Toni, who has been linked with Inter after hinting his future at Fiorentina was far from secure.


“I have my problems to deal with, I can’t keep an eye on those of other clubs too. I think that any player in the world would like to wear the Inter jersey. This is a great side with an impressive history,” he noted.


Meanwhile, Palermo have secured the services of 39-year-old Chievo goalkeeper Alberto ‘Jimmy’ Fontana, who was out of contract.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! :rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

']of course you need Dacourt now that C. Zanetti is off to Juve
True enough, but there are other options for the center of midfield, Pizarro obviously, but Stankovic could also play there. He's been mostly on the left side of the midfield since Cambiasso and Veron's arrival, but he could easily return to the center. Of course that might mean playing Solari on the left, so we all know it's impossible.

Grosso is ours. 5.5 million euros + loaning out Dellafiore to Palermo.

An official announcement should be made in the coming days :rockman: :rockman:

Veron is gone...time for him to go.

At times...our most influential player, then at others he would just give up.

Cost us the Villareal match.

He was good in midfield but not good enough for us to win trophies.

Inter needs a new goalkeeper and new "Veron".....Defence is getting old :boohoo:
Figo is playing great for Portugal this WC I hope he will also play like that in next season :jap:

Inter needs a new goalkeeper
You're right, he's called Julio Cesar and he's already on the team.

Anyway Toldo still has a couple more years in him

You're right, he's called Julio Cesar
yes he is called Julio Cesar but only if you want to be 3/4 th in serie A for the next 5 years.... :boohoo:

Julio Cesar had a very solid season for Inter and Toldo stepped up to the plate when he was called upon. Goal keeping has not been the biggest concern about this squad, goal scoring is. In fact, defence has improved greatly over the last season. Mancini's biggest worry should be about getting the boys to put balls in the back of the net consistently, not who's between the posts.

But you can continue to blame the team's shortcomings on their keeper if you want, you'll just have to get used to no one taking you seriously.

Well put, brother Jim.

so whose gonna start the new inter thread

I did the last one, so I if someone wants to do it for the next season they can go right ahead. If not I will of course take the pleasure in doing it again :P

RIP 2005-2006 season. We must win something next year. Not just Coppa Italia ;)

You're our dignitary and official ambassador on this board, FN. It'd be just wrong and downright blasphemous if someone else was to christen the 06/07 thread
