Its just eleven weeks into the Serie A season and league leaders Inter Milan are already to clean house. Jose Mourinho's side is one of eight teams within striking distance of the top spot in what is so far one of the most competitive Scudetto races in many years.
While there has been recent talk of Argentine striker Julio Cruz wanting to leave in January, last night Mourinho announced four players he wants to put on the auction block as well; strikers Hernan Crespo and Ribeiro Adriano, and midfielders Luis Jimenez and Oliver Dacourt.

Whats a Mourinho to do when Massimo Moratti won't spend any money like you want him to do? According to this article on Fox Sports, Inter Milan are not going any further into the transfer market and won't be bringing in players like Frank Lampard and Ricardo Quaresma that Jose Mourinho had targeted. I guess Roman Abramovich isn't looking so bad right now.

We've had strangest spring/summer that I can remember.
