Diouf: An Unexpected Internal Solution for Inter, Cristian Chivu Can Smile as the Squad is Complete

If it's true, as Cristian Chivu stated, that the transfer market gives him 'mental disturbances,' he can find solace in seeing this Inter squad already in top championship form. The 4-1 victory against Monza highlighted a healthy team that merely awaits the full integration of some top players and new signings. It's also not guaranteed that these new arrivals will easily carve out significant playing time.

All Departments Are Fully Stocked

The signing of Curtis Jones completes a midfield that is already in excellent health, judging by Hakan Calhanoglu's impact in this championship and that of Piotr Zielinski. We also have Barella, Sucic (who made an excellent debut impact), the evergreen Mkhitaryan, and the promising Aleksandar Stankovic. And now, potentially, Diouf. In fact, some players might even be surplus to requirements. Stones played the final fifteen minutes, while Bisseck scored a great goal, sending a clear message to the Englishman.

Diouf Was the In-House Solution for a Right Winger

And on the right flank, Diouf was flying, observed by Spence. A player acquired a year ago to reinforce the central midfield. Chivu nurtured the 'crazy idea' of adapting him to the right wing, and the initial impact was remarkable. 'I like him for his characteristics; he always goes for the one-on-one. It's an additional option that we must have, especially playing on his weaker foot. Today, he used his weaker foot for Pio's goal.' The player himself responded in the usual professional manner: 'The important thing for me is to play; I can do it on the right, on the left, or in my usual position in the middle, wherever needed.' Meanwhile, he earned the MVP award for Inter-Monza. This sends a message to Djed Spence and perhaps leaves the management pondering, given their months-long saga searching for a right winger, from Palestra to Khalaili.

Now, for the Sales

With ten days left until the transfer window closes, no further incomings are anticipated. President Beppe Marotta mentioned the possibility of high-profile additions only if the right opportunity arises. The impression is that these remaining days will be solely dedicated to trimming the squad.
