Inter finally have their RWB. Khalaili is just 21, seems to have all the characteristics Inter are looking for & has been on upward trajectory since his teenager days. So this looks like a good signing, & may end up being one.
But this does not excite me, I have a different perspective here. Give me an Acerbi-style deal over a Khalaili style deal any day. I don't understand this young player fetish, at least not from Inter fans. The way our club is going, we will be in banter era in a few years anyways, once our core is old or sold and/or when Marotta retires. So we got 2-3 years to win more trophies, maybe 4-5 years at best.
Most young & cheap players we sign will flop hard (like Henrique or Diouf or Asllani) and even if they come good, they will make mistakes in the short term and take time to learn & develop. A cheap, experienced player (like Acerbi was when we bought him) comes with guarantees, and may help us win in the short term. That is what we need - maximise this winning era.
Because my friends, make no mistake. Winter is coming.
Highest ever fee for an Israeli player. 🇮🇱
Yet again, more proof if it were needed, that anyone claiming Israel is an “apartheid” state is simply ignorant or lying.
Khalaili has big Denzel Dumfries boots to fill at Inter. His strength, pace and power should see Khalaili impress in Serie A.
🙏
He and all '48 Palestinians will always be Palestinians, no matter how they contribute to Israeli society. And if you have no connection to the land, you have zero right to call anyone a traitor. Again, spare me your pseudo-activism from your couch in Europe.
I will say what I've already said on signing Anan: You're free to be upset at the fact that he represents Israel, I'm not happy about that. But for me, I will ALWAYS see it as someone who speaks my language, shares MY culture and my heritage joining my childhood club

My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
