Let's start by analizing our team in the end of the 2011/12 season (the players avaiable to Inter are marked with an X). Information was gathered from most reliable sources as possible (even though transfermarkt clearly overestimates most player's value).
Moratti has already set the guidelines, so my proposal will focus on:
1. Rejuvenating the team
2. Cutting down wages
3. Bringing players to key positions where they are lacking
What happened so far:
- We've executed our purchase option for Guarin for 10m instead of the rumoured 13,5m
- The 30 years old WF Palacio from Genoa comes for 10m and rumoured wages of 1,7m per season in a three years contract
- Cordoba retires
- Pandev is sold to Napoli for 8m
My very realistic proposal for each position (assuming a 4231 or 433):
Centre Forward
No change needed.
Players: Milito, Pazzini and Castaignos
Wide Forward
Sell Forlan for 3m and bring Giovinco for 20m. Pandev is already out and Palacio is already in. Try to bring someone young on loan.
Players: Giovinco, Palacio, Alvarez + loan
Attacking Midfield
The position which would lose the most on this transfer window with Sneijder leaving. Coutinho back from Espanyol will have to prove his worth and we should also promote Bessa to see if the kid's really good.
Players: Coutinho, Alvarez, Bessa
Defensive & Central Midfield
Execute our buying options for the quite good Guarin for 10m (already done) and Poli for 6m.
Players: Guarin, Cambiasso, Poli, Obi, Stankovic + loan
Left Back
No change needed.
Players: Zanetti, Nagatomo
Right Back
Sell Maicon and pay the expensive price for Chilean Isla.
Players: Isla, Faraoni, Jonathan
Centre Back
The biggest renewal. Cordoba retired and Chivu should be gone for free. Sell Lucio and buy Silvestre and Andreolli.
Players: Samuel, Ranocchia, Silvestre, Juan, Andreolli
Goalkeepers
With Orlandoni retiring, just use Primavera's Di Gennaro as bench if needed (Orlandoni did not play any game last season).
Players: Julione, Castelazzi, Di Gennaro
Overall
In the end we are still 8m positive not counting the wages for the loaned players nor the wage increase of some of our players (for instance Nagatomo got +0,5m). So this is very close to break-even for the 2012/13 season. But we'd cut down our total net wages from 62,8m to close to 50m or a 25% reduction. That means enough money to bring one of Lavezzi or Lucas EACH year.
And at the same time we'd rejuvenate our squad and make it competitive again for next season. Please Moratti, make it happen.
FORZA INTER!!
