I think we should consider the state of the club he came in to. Weah looks athletic but lacking in confidence or having problem adapting, or not fitting with Allegri, or really is that bereft of creativity which seems unlikely from a former striker/winger. He has been really poor though besides that coppa goal. Milik is a decent backup that came in cheaply. Now we have too many strikers but if we transform towards a 343 or 433, he would be the natural backup Dusan and Kean backup both out wide and in the nine. Not saying it was a great signing but I am not knowledgeable enough to state there were better alternatives at a cheaper fee (plus he was already integrated in the group).
Back to the point though. His main task right now and will continue to be to clear up past messes rather than leaping us forward in quality. I think it is too soon to judge him, only time will tell. We can still criticize him, but should keep in mind he came basically when the mercato was closing. So far though, I am mostly judging him by things he did not do. He did not sign Paredes or players like him, he did not sign another Alex Sandro or renew Sandro's contract. There are a lot of things he didn't do that we would have done in the past. That can be viewed as a step in the right direction.
