So, in other words, they're not more competent but the situation is different. Can't argue with that (yet).
Oh, and the reason why we couldn't even get rid of Iaq for free was because he had his heart set on staying with us. Which was his right, considering he was under contract. Let's hope no one else gets the same brilliant idea.

Quagliarella's book-value is 4.7m euroes approximate so we can afford to sell him for than 7m, he's wages of 3.7m including tax. Keeping him would be 2.3m amortization+ 3.7m wages, that's 6m of unnecessary annual expense; so long West Ham's quoted loan (1m) has obligation to buy(6m), we should take it.
shouldn't have blown it on that lanky site carroll
Iaq was pretty much a designated starter in his time. Quag and Matri were not. Continuity, believe it or not is one of the all defining factors when it comes to leaving your mark on the pitch. Even more so as a forward, which is perhaps the one position on the team that is all about confidence. Quag and Matri, even when they started games, the few times they did, were always looking over their shoulder expecting to be subbed out. That is psychological and has a major bearing on your game. You are more error prone and play less freely. Despite that, they delivered, which is where i see their competency ahead of the likes of Iaq and Amauri. Iaquinta perhaps didn't have the reportoire in his game to do that even before the injury. He would never be as effective if he was a 4-5th striker on this team. Same for Amauri. I'm pretty sure of it.
Nice try 
Let me tell you when he was pretty much a designated starter for us: never.
2007-2008: 1413 minutes vs 3271 for Trez & 3035 for Ale.
2008-2009: 2340 minutes vs 3332 for Ale & 3009 for Amauri.
2009-2010: 1301 minutes vs 2792 for Amauri & 1916 for Ale.
2010-2011: 1245 minutes vs 2701 for Ale & 1307 for Quag.

Fair enough if you don't want to classify him a starter minutes wise, but are the minutes comparison telling the whole story? If my memory serves me right, Amauri and Trez were both injured for some spells, and Iaq had a good run of games under Ranieri, post which Trez and Ranieri had a fallout and Iaq got a lot of games under him. Close to 38 in all competitions?? The season in which he scored 16 goals IIRC.
Also, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 minutes arent telling the story in its entirety, because again, as far as I remember, Iaq under Ferarra's reign was a starter, till injury sidelined him for close to 6 months if not more. And those injury woes continued even after Marrotta came in and signed Quag.
