I hear this often here and on the Inter forum. Lets get a shittier player instead of a top player, because the shittier player is younger and has resale value. That strategy works for mid table clubs, even clubs like Roma and Lazio perhaps. But Inter and Milan are not supermarkets, these clubs should not think like that. These clubs need to start behaving like historic top clubs if they want to get back to their rightful place in Italy and Europe.
How is Andre Silva's or Kalinic's resale value working out for you? Fuck resale value, just think who is better for Milan at the moment. IMO Higuain is a guarantee upfront for at least 2 more years. Morata has so far only performed as a bench player, whenever he has been tried as the leading man he has disappointed. Its a no-brainer really. IMO for Milan, it makes sense to sell players like Silva, Bacca & Kalinic and use that money to buy Higuain. Then you have two strikers, one top class experienced one who will guarantee goals in he next 2 years (Higuain), and a younger one who will learn from Higuain (Cutrone) and that learning experience is priceless. That is quite the ideal set up for an ambitious club.
I am not having a go at Milan. Same with Inter, Joao Mario's or Gabigol's resale value isn't helping us at all at the mo. Neither did Kondogbia's for that matter, I would always look at that transfer as a failure even if we recovered a lot of our money. It would have been much better to go for Yaya Toure then as the coach was requesting, even if Yaya didn't have any resale value. Instead of throwing away money at Mario or Gabigol, Inter could have got players like Nainggolan or Kolarov.
That is how a big club should think. Look at juve, they don't give a fuck about CR7's resale value. Nor did they look at Higuain's or Alves or Pirlo's etc. They just got the players who would deliver the results for them. They have a good balance of experienced champions and younger players in their squad always, that is the right way.
For Milan, even economically it makes much more sense to go after Higuain than Morata. Qualifying for CL is far more money these days than any resale value. But even if it didn't make sense economically, clubs like Milan and Inter need to look at sporting perspectives and increasing fan bases & brand value. Focussing on "Resale value" for every acquisition is for smaller, less ambitious clubs IMO.
We like to ploy our road, crush anything that stands in our way. Vidal & Nainggolan can ploy & crush
