Inter's transfer objectives - Terry, Messi, Toni

Its interesting that Mancio was not holding out for ridiculous amounts of money, but more control on selecting his staff and his squad!!!

Apparently, Mancio wants to get rid of Moratti favourites Adriano and Recoba from the squad!! Yay!!!

Rumours suggest that Mancio's wishlist includes:

Terry/Chivu
Messi/Mancini
De Rossi/Cesc
Toni

Gooooooooo Mancio!! Put some sense into our ol' Presidente! And raid Roma out of all their talent

Another rumour... its gonna be an INTEResting summer

Inter prepare Porto raid Tuesday 27 March, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter are in the running to sign Porto players Pepe and Ricardo Quaresma for less than £11m during the summer.

The Nerazzurri have been recently linked with the pair, who were initially valued at around £17m each by the Portuguese giants.

However, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, a recent verdict in Portugal might see their asking prices slashed, as the players could be free to buy themselves out of their contracts with a fee based on their current salary.

Pepe – whose full name is Kleper Laveran Lima Ferreira – could therefore leave for just £3.5m, while Quaresma may move to a new outfit for £7m.

Defender Pepe is also a reported target for Juventus, while Quaresma would replace Inter’s departing Luis Figo, as the winger will leave the club in June after agreeing to an Arabian switch.

Nevertheless, the Serie A leaders will have to face fierce competition in the race to sign the duo given that clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Real Madrid are also keen

Terry?

Roman's favourite player Terry?

I assume the fact that he's looking for Terry means Samuel will be gone. Materazzi is getting old, i think Burdisso and Cordoba would be a good partnership though.

Terry and Messi?

There's no way in hell either of them will be leaving.

Quaresma and Pepe for £11m

Why can't journalists ever make realistic rumours about Inter.

Btw, Terry I can't see leaving Chelsea - he's the club captain and its not as though they need the money.

Glad to see that they're realised that C. Ronaldo was an unrealistic target, like I said

My thoughts exactly.

and add Cesc to that list

If Terry joined Inter - I forsee a return to the terrible Cannavaro days - but worse.

If you ask me, I would hate to see Terry at Inter, he would be a disaster in Serie A IMO. He just doesn't have the positioning to be a success in the Italian game. Apparently Mancio rates him, his call I guess.

Chivu would be a dream, but thats very unrealistic. Frankly, if we just let Samuel go and not buy anyone, it would be cool.... coz we have Cordoba, Materazzi, Burdisso, and young Andreolli (who IMO is a future legend in the lines of Baresi, Cannavaro, etc). Perhaps we just need a godo young CB for the bench, someone like Bovo.

Lol Tery? Man journalists should at least make possible transfers, not foolish and overpriced ones.

I read somewhere that Juve are also interested in Toni. Plus, does Inter have the money to get Terry, Messi, Cesc and Toni? A shopping spree like that must cost well over 200 mil Euro.

To be very honest Mexes is imo at the moment the real rock in the Roma defence.Chivu surely potentially the best but at the moment the daddy that's Mexes.

For Messi it will be complicate as Barca is a "decent" club (we siad the same thing when Inter bought Ronaldo at the time so who knows what will happen ?)

De Rossi's decent but no way better than VIeira or even Dacourt.Toni's great but not an "exicting" forward.

Could be a very strong Inter next season.

Terry doesn't have the positioning to be a success in Serie A?

its the thing he's best at, if you're going to attack Terry attack his pace - there's no one I can think of better than Terry at positioning

Terrys strongest assets are his positioning, winning the ball in the air, and leading his team (chelsea team). However his weakest things are when the ball is at the opponents feet with their back to Tezza. Despite this, hes NOT MOVING

I can think of one: Paolo Maldini. But 20+ years of top international games will do that to you. Plus, I don't think he'll come to Inter.

+ he's about 40 and has even less pace than Terry

If he played for Capello at Juve, he'd be great (see Montero, Cannavaro) - but at the more expansive Milan teams or Roma... he'd be a train wreck.

That too. But I would say less pace but less stamina.

Aye, maybe, but its nothing to do with his positioning, which is excellent

im sorry but logic doesnt work because when cannavaro played for inter he was crap but they were ultra defensive under cupper so it doesnt really count for him even though i get why you would say it.

They weren't ultra-defensive... they just played shit football. Like England.

well i dont agree. mostly because some saw them as a catonaccio side. anyway cannavaro did more then well for italy and they werent an defensive side at the wc now were they.

Wouldn't call them expansive either.

Hardly anyone took a run at him. Loop the ball in the air and you play to his strengths. In the game vs. the U.S he was very shaky, because Beasley and Donavan went at him. The one time Klose decided he would run with the ball in the Semis - he skinned him, no problem.

Surprising you think this, given that positioning is one of Terry's best assets (just behind his aerial dominance imo).

If he played in La Liga, sure I'm not sure it would work due to the game being very quick (mind you, the Prem is a very quick league and he doesn't seem to have any problems there).

Anyway, he's not for sale.

la liga is different in another way. the prem is hight tempo but players move at a higher tempo in la liga and that is what might challenge him also that he will have to play a higher line which i think is not his strong side.

exactly they got as many goals as juve that season, but conceded more. I think a few too many people are basing their theories on inters CL performances that season, in particular the game agaist Valencia. I'd hardly say Cannavaro was "crap" under Cuper. He did ok but had injury problems and Cuper wasn't too keen on playing him and Cordoba together (too short). If i remember correctly, he even started out at right back.

I think Terry would do good in Serie a, he's similar in style to Samuel, Materazzi and Burdisso and all 3 have been a success in Serie A. Reminds me of Ferrara alot aswell. I think he could make a good partnership with Cordoba.

well i base it also on the fact that inter were that year the team that made the least amount of shots on goals in the whole league. i think maybe one relegation team had less.that to me along says alot.
