Nope
now change this thread to "lets laugh at bb1lan"
they're 10th and 11 points away from us
I guess no one is laughing now.
Inter did screw up their coach selection decisions, but actually have invested very heavily on talented players. Most of the players are quite young too, specially in the midfield. It was only a matter of time before the team starts to gel. Inter may not be at Juve's level yet, but sensible big spending over the next window or two will close that gap.
Milan are approx 1 year behind Inter in their rebuilding process. This sale of the club cannot happen fast enough.
Milan
We spent nowt and still got a trophy
You spent 200M over the last 2 seasons and got an EL place
Grande Inter
This trophy is an embarrassment. Don't fucking ever mention it again.
We didn't win anything last year to deserve a match. And yet somehow FIGC put us against Juve, in a match in Dubai, in the middle of the season. For fucking what? Money obviously. And you're proud of it?
Fuck off. Dignity is one thing Milanisti must never give up.
I was hoping that Kondogbia transfer would drive Inter down financially. But it seems that they just dont care and continue to pay harder after every mercato.
Now their midfield is just good enough to afford leaving out Brozovic, Kondogbia and still dominated, I'd love to have either of them here. Apparently they didn't play Joao Mario too, fuck terrible time being a Milan fan.

You call that a trophy?
Btw, in the last 2 years since Inter started spending big money, here are the rounded-off figures from Transfermarkt:
Inter: Transfer spend = 270m, Transfer Income = 145m, Net Spend = 125m
Milan: Transfer spend = 120m, Transfer Income = 30m, Net Spend = 90m
So Inter haven't really spent that much more than Milan as you seem to imply... just approx 35m more in 2 years.
Inter: Transfer spend = 270m, Transfer Income = 145m, Net Spend = 125m
Milan: Transfer spend = 120m, Transfer Income = 30m, Net Spend = 90m
inter spent 150 m more on quality .. and that s huge
why calculate the transfer incomes ? werent we just seeing how much money they both spent only on players
Net Transfer spend is a better measure of how much a club spends than Gross Spend. Because financially (and sportingly) speaking spending money that you have earned by selling players is not the same thing as spending money after keeping all your players. For e.g., Inter bought Shaqiri for 17m and sold him for 17m in this period. You can say Inter spent 17m (gross) on the squad, but in reality Inter spent nothing (Net).
So Inter have spent only 35m more than Milan over the last two years. Thats give or take a Kondogbia.
Err... the way you're describing financials would not fly in a board meeting
Especially where you bought a player for 17m one year and sold him in another fiscal period
You also aren't taking into account the way the purchases and sales are structured in regards to actual cash flow of payments on the transfers
Very elementary approach... your post
its like we re using numbers to lie to ourselves i suck at math no doubt but lets look at things in a very simple way;
Inter spent 270m on quality .
Milan spent 130m on quality .
saying you guys only spent 30m more than us ( a kondogbia ) is ridiculous , when in fact you guys spent more this winter alone than us all mercatos combined ( gagz loan + 30 m in summer )
I was simplifying and comparing the "Net Transfer spend" of the two clubs over 2 seasons, and explaining why its a better measure than the total transfer spend (which was what the original post compared). The main point is that Inter haven't really spent as much more money than Milan over the last 2 years as some people think.
I could analyse it from an P&L & Cash flow point of view, but even if you have the appetite for it, you will like it even less. For example in 2015-16, Inter actually make a profit in their books from transfers whereas Milan made losses from their transfers, even though Inter spent more money. Not that Inter management are more competent (they aren't really), but Inter were bound by FFP agreements and had to do it that way.
