yeah, that's a good point too. i also remember our panic buys, the degradation of our midfield, and that genius he bought allegri to fill the trequartista position.
so the whole picture about marotta isn't all rosy. i get the impression that marotta has valuable connections domestically, he's very effective when you have to raise the overall level of a squad, and he is one of the best administrators in the football world, but he's not the best squad planner when all you need is some slight fine tunings and/or rejuvenation. he overvalues experience, merits of the past and personal rapports way too much. he'd probably need a proper sports director like luis campos, and some ruthlessness á la prime moggi to get rid of his players at the right time.
he's still miles ahead of tici though, who started last season with an overly large squad, who thought that giving 7m to rabiot and ramsey might be a good idea, who sold the homegrown spina to replace him with a guy who's yet to play an official match in juve jersey, who's so random that he can extend rugani's contract twice within the same season then trying to get rid of the player in the next, or give an ageing mandzukic an extension and put him on the transfer list just a couple of months later, or extend matuidi's contract just to give him away for some minusvalenza, and who's so careless that he can be directly tied to the suarez case for his personal contribution.
