I was gonna do it but I'm glad you did since I was feeling sorta lazy.

Anywayz just to start the thread off...

FORZA INTER

FORZA RAGAZZI

All Hail to the Coppa Italia champs. This is just the beginning though. I have the highest hopes of all time for this side for next year. If the likes of Miha and Matrix were sufficient enough to win the Coppa and to lead this side to have the best defense for the 2nd part of the season, then just imagine what a couple of additions like Samuel, Solari, Mancini, and Pizarro could do.

Anywayz here's a quick rundown of some of the players that are SERIOUSLY linked to the side and those who are definately/probably on their ways out.

RUMORS

IN
Solari (Could very well become the first signing next week)
Samuel
Pizarro
Mancini
Makinwa
Simplicio
Luisao
Alex (PSV's player on loan from Chelsea)
Veron (Probably will be resigned. Though it could be a loan deal for a year then he could be headed to Argentina)
Pandev (Wants to come back from Lazio)
Potenza (Could also return from loan)

OUT
Sorondo (To Charlton on Loan)

Coco (Simply to injury prone. Also seemingly has problems with Mancini)

Emre (To an EPL side, ranging from Arsenal, Man U, and Newcastle to Charlton and the Spurs or even Everton)

Van der Meyde (Probably also headed to the EPL)

Davids (Will almost definately leave, though to who? Hopefully to Real + Cash for Samuel)

Fontana (Definately cause his contract is up and he had a huge argument with Mancini)

Gamarra (His contract is up and he could very well leave)

CONFIRMED IN
Mihajlovic (His Contract has been Extended till next summer where he will probably become Mancini's assistant coach)

Javier Zanetti (His contract has been extended till 2010, where he will be 36. He might have it extended or not, but one thing is definate, he will end his career with the Nerazzuri)

CONFIRMED OUT
Burdisso (Due to family probs he'll have to go back to Argentina for a while on loan to Boca. Will definately be gone for atleast half of next year and perhaps even more depending on his son's health and other matters.)

Things will be very exciting this transfer market season. We are linked to some high quality players. Anywayz here is the squad I'd most like to see for next season.

INTER FOR NEXT SEASON

------------Adriano--------Martins

--Solari-----Cambiasso-----Pizarro----Mancini

--Heinze-----Samuel-----Cordoba---J. Zanetti

--------------------Toldo

Bench:

Forwards

The Coppa is only the beginning. The best is yet to come.

 

[ottawaguy]

With Mancini in for his 2nd year I'm confident Inter will be a lot better than this past season. Hopefully the Coppa italia victory is a sign of future sucesses.

I'd like to see the obvious players leave like Davids, Coco, Van der Meyde etc. I also hope Vieri leaves and we get Gilardino, I don't want Cassano, he is too much of a menace. I've always liked Bernardo Corradi, I haven't heard much of his this season because he played in La Liga and really never played much for the national team. Was he injured?

 

[Mikey]

Inter definately need to make a step up in LB, but i havent heard anything about Heinze

 

[Dreath]

Woh didn't know it'd been so long since a scudetto win for you guys! 16 years... must suck.

 

[SB9Dragon]

Rumors came up today, Mikey.

============================================
Real Want 18 Million Euros For Samuel And Solari
6/17/2005 12:25:00 PM
Real Madrid have told Inter that Walter Samuel and Santiago Solari will cost 18 million euros.
It was expected that Solari would complete his move this week, but the deal has hit problems as the winger has so far yet to agree personal terms as he is keen for a wage increase.

Samuel, meanwhile, was last week linked with a loan move to the San Siro, but it appears that any deal would see ’The Wall’ move back to Italy on a permanent basis.

Inter apparently want matters resolved by the end of the month otherwise they will look elsewhere.
======================================================

18 Million for those 2? I say: DEAL! Getting both players would help solve 2 of our major probs, LW and CB spots. Samuel is one of the best, even though he struggled at Real. Placing him next to Cordoba would cement our already great defence. I also have high hopes on Solari being a major threat on the LW. He and Kily could fight for the starting spot.

But even with all of this I don't know where Stankovic fits in. I'm guessing he will be simply included in the rotation for the central position, especially with Emre leaving.

 

[ForzaNerrazurri]

Stankovic had a terrible season. I really hope he can turn it around next season. He needs to really work on his shooting accuracy.

Inter winger set to leave
by Nadia Carminati - created on 17 Jun 2005

Dutch international Andy van der Meyde admits he is expecting to leave Internazionale over the summer.

Van der Meyde has endured a troubled time in Milan and came close to exiting Giuseppe Meazza 12 months ago.

Everton failed with a bid for the winger, while Middlesbrough have also held a long-term interest in the former Ajax ace.

The wide man's agent told skysports.com last week that there had been no fresh offers for van der Meyde, who had been considering his future with Inter.

He now concedes he is due to quit the club before the start of next season after revealing he has been told he is not in Roberto Mancini's plans.

"They have told me I'm not in their plans and that, for me, there isn't space," said van der Meyde.

"They have also showed me a few solutions.

"Anyway nothing has been decided yet."

Premiership duo Everton and Boro could now rekindle their interest in van der Meyde, who has two years remaining on his Inter contract.

There has also been speculation in Italy that Inter could use van der Meyde as bait in an attempt to sign Roma ace Mancini.

 

[Fernandez]

Inter definately need to make a step up in LB, but i havent heard anything about Heinze

In your wet dreams will you get Heinze.

 

[davidcfs]

In your wet dreams will you get Heinze.

Heh and in your dreams Man U is going to win anything ever again.


Ah but this is a great thread keep up the good work guys as I shall read it and respond to it daily

Maybe Zanetti and Cambiasso said a little something to him

and thanks david

 

[davidcfs]

I personally agree with SB9 and Bobogol that this is the start of something amazing for inter and I am positive that next year is going to be a great showing

Though do you guys think that Toldo is going to stay this year?

 

[tottiiii]

Congratulations on the Coppa Italia Victory.

I'll be back when we start doing business.

 

[Fernandez]

Maybe Zanetti and Cambiasso said a little something to him

and thanks david

The fans love Heinze. Why would he want to leave anyway? He had held a 100% scoring record once this season.

 

[Yossarian]

Bismillah!


Awesome first post to kick off another year of anguish and heart-attack inducing setbacks, ForzaNerrazurri.

 

[davidcfs]

My uncle just called me up this morning saying he read in the italian paper that inter are very close to signing Robinho from Santos after the Copa Libertadores.

Umm no. It's more likely that Real Madrid will sign him, seeing as he's flying into Spain to talk with them...

As for Inter, I hope they do well, I have family who support them, they need to start winning major competitions. I wish them all the best, under the conditions that they dont get in our way.

 

[Mikey]

I thought he was Madrid bound.

I know its becoming the cliche to say "this is gonna be Inters year", but things are looking really good for them at the moment. Mancini is in his second year and has no adjusted to Inter, as they were the best team in Serie A in second half (not 100% sure). theyre making smart signings, and the core of the team (Cordoba--Zanetti--Cambiasso--Adriano) are already in place. Mancini is doing the smart thing and reducing the squad. I'd hate to see Van Der Medye leave as he's a great player and was always misused by Inter, but hopefully he can stay in Italy with Roma or Fiorentina (even though I bet he goes to England).

Once Inter signs Solari and hopefully Samuel (18M is reasonable enough for Samuel alone) than they can pick up a young CB and a proven LB. Doesnt Real still owe Inter like $8-10M from Ronaldo deal when they didnt take option on Solari a couple years ago.

I hope Zanetti and Cambiasso are selling Inter well to Samuel, and maybe trying to lure Heinze.

What other LB's out there would be ideal? I can think of Dede, Lahm, Ashley Cole, Kaladze, Del Horno and Wayne Bridge. Id really like to see Coco reclaim the spot and return to his best

I can't pretend that I've followed Solari's career closely enough to make any judgements about him, but is he that much of an upgrade to Kily? If he's better around the box and can put away a lot of the shots Kily almost ends up scuffing or sending 20miles wide, then I guess we can forgive him for what he did to us in the Ronaldo deal and bring him here. I know this really doesn't mean much, but Moratti has always held him in high regard.


As for Samuel, I don't know if he personally bombed in Spain because he was outside of his realm and got destroyed by the more attacking style of Spanish football than in the Serie A where he was less exposed by the Italian game and where the tactics employed there can make an average defender look like a total stalwart,

I wouldn't mind getting him for between 12-16million euros, if not, we should go gung-ho after Juan, and Chiellini for our deficient LB position. I really love that dude, an awesome physical specimen who defends as well as he attacks. He should be priority #! for the leftback position, man.
