Krasic was always on board. The Aquilani coup is a surprise. It can go either way though. He gave away Poulsen and got in a replacement with the same salary (even though I'm not bothered by the money, its evident that Poulsen was give away to decrease the wage burden). Is Aquilani a better player than Poulsen - yes. Will he be as available as Poulsen - No. So lets call that even.
Then we are have Martinez, Motta, Pepe, Bonucci. Now Marotta will be judged on how these guys perform. Secco bought in Diego and Melo last season and most people jizzed their pants. But halfway into the season people were on his head again because both of them didn't perform as expected. The same will happen to Marotta. So lets see how it plays out.
I personally am satisfied with the squad because I think our aim should be a CL spot. This team can get us there as long as we get an LB.
