Moratti convinced Inter Milan now stronger for Eto’o sale
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti believes they're stronger for the sale of Samuel Eto'o.
The cash raised from Eto'o's move to Anzhi has been spent on signing Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan and Lazio's Mauro Zarate.
“In my view, and I say that as a fan, we have a very strong and interesting squad. There are some new players to be discovered and that is part of football that excites me. We also have many tactical options open to us, so I think it has certainly been a positive summer," said Moratti.
“Gian Piero Gasperini wanted a wide attacker, so Zarate is certainly closer to that style. It is important to have a side that gives the midfield and defence security, so we can then be more spectacular in attack.
“Forlan is one of those champions who makes the fans dream, while Wesley Sneijder stayed with Inter because he wanted to.
“I was optimistic a few days ago, but now we have completed the squad, I’m even more so."

big mistake to let Eto go! Gasperini will fail with his style of play this season! defence will be exposed with only 3 at back ageing defensive players slow but still good technically....Gasperini not right man to get Inter back on top. Milan for title again by default as Inter still best team in Seria A but crap manager
eto is a legend in football and will always be a fan favorite of many inter fans whereever he goes. He along with sneijder are the biggest reason why we won the treble in 2010. But i do agree inter has made themselves much stronger with the additions for alvarez, kucha, forlan, zarate
Well i will say they are good players but not the quality of Etoo. Etoo has an amazing energy and a never say die attitude. He single handedly carried us last season. Etoo makes defenders shiver anytime he has the ball. I wish him well for he was a joy to watch.
