Wolfsburg is dissapointed in Diego and put him on the market. Diego going back to Brazil? Accoring to Jornal da Tarde some clubs( Sao Paolo, Santos(child hood club) and Corinthians seem intrested). The Brazillian clubs seem prepared to bid 8M


And some were mocking the 15.5M Marotta sold him for :lol:

Seriously, if this happens, January of July I feel sorry for him. Everywhere he came after Bremen seemed to be in a crisis. I don't regret his sale. I thought he should've stayed at Werder. I liked his personality, he tried hard when he was with us and seemed so motivated in his SS position. I wish him the best no matter what he said about Bundesliga and Serie A :p

Since we obviously didn't sell Diego in order to get Dzeko, it leaves us with two possible scenarios:

1. We needed money.
2. Del Neri didn't want Diego

The first option seems more realistic. Wolfsburg paid us 15.5m eur at once. Then again, we immediately paid 4.5m eur for Quagliarella so the "profit" we made was 11m eur. If it's true that we offered 7m eur for Di Natale, then it looks like we sold Diego to make some 8m eur profit and cover some losses at the end of the mercato.
This opens the question: If we needed 8-11m eur so desperately, why didn't we sell Sissoko? Ok, Diego earned some 2m eur more than Sissoko but still that's a minor difference.
And why did we make the sale so late in the transfer window?

The second option "Del Neri didn't need him" doesn't seem believable. Del Neri kept saying how Diego is a starter SS and you don't sell a player you just bought for 25m eur and make a ~10m eur loss just because the new coach doesn't want him.

I find all this hard to understand and imo neither our directors had a clear plan what to do and how to do it. The fact that we didn't have a ready replacement for Diego makes me think that the decision to sell Diego came late in August, but why did it come I don't know. Probably Marotta was told sometime in August to bring money in the team and the only way he found to do that was to sell Diego.

Diego strikes me as the kind of player who needs tremendous amounts of confidence. We couldn't give him that at Juventus and apparently it's not happening at Wolfsburg either.

The answer is imo, Del neri didn't want him. because he plays 4-4-2. and he kept on saying "diego is a starter, diego is this and that" to try to get a higher deal (which didn't work) for that they waited until the end of the transfer window. I bet quag's transfer was on hold until diego left.

If true, this is stupid on so many levels.
I'll go one by one:

So the assumption is that we had a bif for Diego but it was low and we played him and said that he's a starter just to get a higher deal?
First it's stupid to play him in the friendlies and the EL qualifiers because if he got injured we'd have gotten nothing and lost even the existing bid.
Second, if we put Diego on the market for 17-18m eur, we'd have made it clear to everyone that he's on sale and probably more clubs would have made a bid, thus we could have started a bidding war for him.
The way we played it, if what you say is true, couldn't be more stupid.

I bet quag's transfer was on hold until diego left.
Quag has no pride and is very stupid in this case.
So we make a deal with him and put it on hold until we sell Diego. Quag must have wondered what will happen if we don't manage to sell Diego.
Then, when we finally sell Diego, the same day we make a bid for Borriello, he rejects us and the next day we are rejected by Di Natale. Have in mind that all this was public and our directors admitted too that we had unsuccessful bids for those two.
And if what you say above is true, Quag was sitting and watching how we make bids for everything that moves, hoping that those bids will be rejected. Quag had troubles with Napoli's board and he wanted to leave. What if Di Natale accepted our bid? Were we going to leave Quag in Napoli to the mercy of the owner, who just like Lottito, was gonna forbid his coach to play Quagliarella?

I could accept that we wanted to sell Diego from the start. But the way we did it was terrible. All we achieved was to sell him for the cheapest price possible and to pay his wages in June, July and August (that's +1m eur for wages and almost as much for taxes).
