Let me remind you that we got Zlatan and Cannavaro. At the moment Zlatan was one of Europe's biggest talents and Cannavaro was a masterpiece in defence.
What has this board done? Bought Amauri for an idiotic high price at the age of 28. Next to that we got Mellberg/Knezenic.
Zlatan / Amauri
Cannavaro / Mellberg

cannavaro on the other hand was nothing like the player of his early days, when we got him most folk would have been mistaken for thinking we bought him as cover as for the whole time he was at inter he was a MASSIVE FLOP,no genius defender a flop! the fact of the matter is that he received encouragement and a boost to his confidence playing ina very good juve team and he regained the form that had seen him one of europes top defenders. he then surpassed his early form and played the best football of his career at juve,only then he was viewed (rightly) as a world class defender of legendary status. and to think we swapped an assclown goalie for him
Moggi's mercato tactics were always spot on,but remember we were one of the worlds richest clubs and attractic players was a lot easier than it is now. add to that the fact that england has went crazy money-wise,the declining reputation of serie a and that we are still viewed as guilty by a large potrion of the football world and you can see that the days of signing top-drawer palyers are gone for the time being!
