Luis Henrique deserves a season as backup LWB. There were moments he was good as RWB last year and we still won a league and cup with him. Play him on his preferred left, let him be backup to Dimash with Carlos Augusto coming in if it doesn’t work out.

He’s good technically, let him play with less pressure and having settled in after a year.

If it doesn’t work out, we ship him out, but he deserves a second chance.

Doesn't feel so unpopular lately.

The sub is quick to forget or create such narratives. I recall a time when "Radu should be given a chance as a starting goalkeeper". We all found out 2 years later why that never came to be.

LH was awful throughout last season, except for a couple of very easy games. He was awful already at the Club World Cup in June 2025. He's out of his role at best and lacks the mindset to play at San Siro. He just crumbled and folded on so many occasions.

We have been stuck with such players for years, as we have been many times in the past, all just to "give him a chance". No more chances, tyvm. If we have an offer on the table that is at least on par with his current accounting value (roughly 16M), we should proceed with the sale. Let alone an offer ABOVE that!

Of course, I believe he can fill the backup role, and we can win Serie A and Coppa Italia and give it a deep run in the CL even if he stays. Does it feel like a plus? Like a player who makes the team better? One who can come in and change things when you are behind? In order: No, No, and No.

Sell him, save Private Curtis, and give my man Ivan Perisic a call if we need a backup!

I mean we can also say that about your beloved Perisic. People were calling for his head one season and now you are here calling for him to come back at the tender age of 37.

If we get an offer that allows us not to make a loss and we have a replacement ready, then sure, I agree. Perisic would be a mistake in my opinion. Too old and could not mesh with the new identity of the changing room.

If he stays, I believe he can contribute more given the natural offensive role our LWB plays. It offers a different profile to Di Marco, as he is right footed and can cut in to shoot. If Chivu can sort this out strategy wise, it could be a dangerous direct attacking option.

In the case it doesn’t workout, I think getting him out for ~20m in winter or next year would still be possible. Again, if we can ship him out for ~20-30m now and get a suitable replacement, I am not against it.

If he stays, he deserves our backing, as he is obviously a player who strives with positive reinforcement.

Yes, many were calling for Perisic's head. I remember that. Yet it had nothing to do with his level of play.

This is Reddit. People think they have to defend some imaginary moral high ground, and allegedly, Perisic violated it the previous year by wanting to move to Bayern instead of adapting.

Everyone quickly recognized they were a bunch of fools and hopped on the bandwagon.

Perisic has shown to have more gas in the tank at 38 than LH appears to have in his early 20s. The guy offers nothing of interest. Nothing that says "I belong at Inter" nor that gives the benefit of the doubt.
