That 26M difference is why they won the league.
Why didn't you bring Juventus own? Or it doesn't suit your narrative abi.

I ask again, what did exactly did you expect from Conte? Could he have held Inter board buy their balls and demanded for non geriatric players? Or maybe win the league without any signings? What exactly was your expectations from a coach of a financially poor inter?
Juventus has deep pockets, So its foolish for Inter to compare themselves with Juventus
Should Frankfurt also decide to spend like Bayern?
Should Tottenham also decide to spend like City?

What is the highest amount inter players earn on wages? There you will find your answer.

You that know how to run clubs out of debts, which player could have inter signed that were available last year, i am very interested in knowing.
Sgning Eriksen for 17M when he would have been free in 6months, now trashing him is not how a club like Inter will survive

Layvin Kurzawa, Thomas Munier are some

There are free and cheap players available every season who are not in their 30s

Egbon dayo, how much wages? Inter wages after all Conte signings was in range with Roma, Napoli and co, so if inter paying similar wages with Roma is too much, then why did they employ a Conte with the expectation to win trophy, did you expect Conte to achieve this feat with training cones?
Inter was paying 138M in wages
Roma was paying 112M in wages
Napoli was paying 107M in wages
AC Milan was paying 84M in wages

You still haven't answered the question, after gathering the wages, where will you get transfer fee from? Or do you plan on using the gathered wages to sign players and then pay them wages too?

Conte won inter their first league trophy since God knows when, if they were trying to get rid of him, he left them as the bigger man.
How much transfer fees was paid to Depay Munier by their current club

You gather geriatrics because you are running on a budget, if you had the money, you wouldn't gather geriatrics, don't you think?

I don't understand why you are using Messi, depay and Donarumma in this case, seeing that Inter couldn't afford these guys even if they were free.
What is the cost of Depay that Inter cannot afford? Will Depay be more expensive than Eriksen

Look at Eriksen a Player that will be free in 6 months, Conte signed till 2024 for 17M put on Lukaku salary, In a year he was already benching Eriksen looking to offload him

How will a club like Inter not run into debts

Should we blame Conte or those in charge of transfers and negotiations? If yes, then those who said Pep is a cheque book manager are right because he requested for those players to be signed...

You're talki g about PSG and Barcelona getting good players on a free as if those clubs are not more attractive than Inter right now...Who will not want to play with Neymar, Veratti, Mbappe, Marquinhos etc...
So you think a coach who demanded Vidal does not know Vidal will get wages? Or he thinks Kolarov will play for free
Thomas Munier joined Dortmund on a free transfer abi that one sef is more attractive than Inter?

Pep demanded transfers and his team bought them for him, his team has not gone bankrupt yet just like Cuntay did when he blew through a quarter of a billion in 1 season. If not that Roman has deep pockets like City they will be auctioning top players now

You cannot be paying 130M in wages and be crashing out of CL group stages last in your group, Clubs have declared bankruptcy for lesser

[color=royalblue]As at two seasons ago, a transfer fee would be paid for Messi, Depay, and Donnarunma.

I ask again sir; how much would he have spent to buy these sensible players?[/color]
Every season there are cheap players not in their mid 30s in the market or decent players you can make do with to be competitive. At least not to finish last in the CL groups

CL money is crucial, you cannot load a team with that much wages and be crashing out of CL group stages unless you had a rich sugar daddy

That was what bankrupted Dortmund in the early 2000s, they broke the Bundesliga record in transfer fees and wages to sign Marcio Amoroso, Jan Koller and Tomas Rosicky gambling on making it in the CL, they crashed in the group stages and

Can Inter milan pay wages of Messi and Donarumma level players even if they can get them for free?
Psg have been spending money for all their coaches because they have it, inter don't have the money, so they had to employ someone who can win without the best players, and he did just that. Abi Conte for no like dey do quality signings too?
When you gather those wages on Young Vidal Kolarov and those geriatric players you will be able to pay decent players

Cuntay like quality signings na why he spent quarter of a billion in one season at Chelsea, finished 5th and 4yrs later the team stilldey figure out what to do with Barkley Bakayoko Drinkwater and co

The Inter board have been fed up with Cuntay for the longest time and were looking for the first opportunity to get rid of him

So if Roman no get deep pockets wetin for happen?

Are Messi, Depay Donaruma sensible?

If you are operating on a budget, what is the point of gathering geriatrics in the team and end up crashing out of CL groups to Monchengladbach and Donestsk

How much did Inter sign Kolarov, Vidal, Young and Darmian?

Tell us how much those 4 players cost combined and how Conte could’ve used it to buy 1 or 2 reasonable players with market value.
Add these 4 wages together and you think that wont pay 2-3 sensible players

Liverpool with VVD this season in the EPL

Liverpool without VVD this season in the EPL
24 matches played 25 goals conceded 1.04 goals per match conceded

Technical aspect of football is your albatross, just like all those supporting your view.

So these technical aspects were not in effect when Liverpool went from 4th with VVD to 1st by New years day. 14 matchdays no technical aspect.

VVD left the team 4th on the table on Matchday 4

By Matchday 17 Liverpool was 1st on the table

Which style did they play for the 14 matchdays between October 17 and January 1 without VVD that pushed them from 4th to top the table?

Liverpool even beat spurs and hammered palace 7-0 after VVD injury, nobody said anything. Immediately they ran out of steam, they blamed it on VVD injury, same guy that was there and they conceded 7 against Villa.
Loss of all senior Center backs, is now blamed on VVD, when over 2 months after VVD injury, they were still topping the table

The last game full game VVD played for Liverpool was vs Villa on October 4 and after that match week, Liverpool was 4th on the table. They lost VVD but by December 19 they were table leaders, leading the nearest team with 4 points (Once again this was 2 months after VVD injury)
Actually, Liverpool started this year as table topper

Enough of trying to downplay VVD's influence in the team.

Nobody should misinform us here, Matip played when Burnley defeated Liverpool at Anfield.

It should be emphasized that VVD never experienced a league defeat at Anfield since he joined the team, unlike other players in that defence. That speaks volume. cool
VVD played when they conceded 7 to Aston Villa
Anfield doesn't mean much when there is no crowd to cheer them. While the last time Anfield was full spineless Morata shitt on VVD

Obama never invaded a nation but he provided support to rebels to destabilize a nation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, sources familiar with the matter said.
Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.
