well dont tommy, people are quick to pass judgement on a player they have never seen, you guys should be on your knees praying for this player to sign for you

Bit harsh. Would rather the others we've previously been linked to. But this bean pole looks aiiiiiight. Even in a league that can't defend. We can all watch YouTube all day. Doesn't mean he'll be a phenomenon here.

Let them have him. I am disappointed with the lack of ambition some of us have here.
Who would u like? It's not so much a lack of ambition, as a realistic target. I wish we could sign Cavani/Higuain/Van Persie, but unless they really want to come here, and are willing to take a significant wage cut, I don't see it happening (not to mention Marotta's reluctance to go over the 20 Million Mark for any player, notwithstanding the fact that he overpaid for Martinez and Matri).

One minute I'm hearing Llorente is a target man, something Juve are looking for. Then there's RVP a complete different style of player which would suit out style of play. Then on the third hand (running outta hands here) there jo-jo who isn't a striker.

Moggi also got us Buffon, Nedved, Trez, Cannavaro, Zidane, Ibra, Davids, and Thuram. Different times I know, but he did get us a lot of great players.
Marotta also got us Pirlo, Vidal, Vucinic, Asamoah, Lichty, Barzagli and he's only been here for two years. Give the man some slack - some people are seriously underrating the sheer awesomeness of the task he's got at hand.

Better not to buy anyone instead buying for sake of it.

I'm not undermining the work he has done, but he's not as amazing as some of you are saying. Moreover, some of you are so blinded by your hate for Moggi that you fail to realize how intelligent and cunning the man truly was.

who hates moggi? moggi was a fucking godsent, one of the best ever. I'm just saying that Marotta has done a spectacular job and all this bitching about him is totally undeserved. We finished 7 twice in succession, do you remember what our team looked like last season? Marotta made us a scudetto winning team and dark horses for the CL and not one player is earning more than 4.5 million per season. Do you remember how Milan got resurrected? Yeah, breaking the budget on every player. Everyone can do it like that. Marotta is building a functioning company which will last far into the future, we still haven't even seen the fruit of his immense primavera work.
