| Diego Forlan could be the replacement for Samuel Eto'o |
With the Italian and other international press reporting that Inter are on the way down without their star striker Samuel Eto'o, it seems they have totally brushed the current World champions aside.
Even I criticised Inter selling the player, but when you see the options that are in front of them, Inter might not have such a great problem.
Eto'o will leave a great void as he is a world class player, but seeing names such as Forlan and Tevez, it makes me wonder if Inter will be in such a bad position.
Yes, it is true Diego Forlan is 32 years old but this does not mean he is a bad player as he can be dangerous in front of goal when he has the chance.
Manchester City's Tevez is another good option for Inter as whenever this player is in the mood to score he can be lethal as well.
When the sale of Eto'o is final, Inter will have a good amount of money to spend on some reinforcements and if Sneijder is sold as well, Inter surely will have the spending power in the final weeks of the transfer campaign.
The purchase of players will not be cheap, especially when it comes to Tevez, but the savings on wages will surely help Inter in their process to be in line with the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules.
Inter president Massimo Moratti does want to keep his team floating financially and sometimes huge sacrifices have to be made, but saying this he will not kill the team in the process.
Inter will be a force this season as they have always been, and if Milan start the new Serie A campaign thinking that they will be untouchable, they are making a big mistake.
Milan are the champions of Italy, but they have one of the highest average of players over 30 years of age in Serie A meaning they might be in for a season full of injuries.
Can the current champions brush aside the pressure from Inter, Juventus, Roma and Napoli this season? we will soon find out...
