Well, Ze...unfortunately we have to keep up with the eyes jokes for as long as Marotta is at the club. Some people on this forum think that it is extremely fun making jokes about someone's eyes. And since it wasn't taken care of ever since it started it is now too late to try to stop it.

I was going to retreat making fun of Marotta's before someone mentioned the book , Jack

 

[JCK]

There is no book, I just find it tasteless and unfortunately it is common around these walls.

I'm beginning to see things from your perspective. It's like a cloud is being lifted from me eyes

That's good, we need more recruits.

We've scouted South America?

And we're going to scout South America to find a young talent which we can purchase in January, apparently.

 

[CAPITANO]

Apparently Marotta's fired all the South American scouts for not finding anyone.

He will replace the Brazilian and Argentinean scouts

Whether or not they (quag, pepe etc) get a significant wage increase will depend on their performance and marotta's negotiations. Its easier to negotiate a slight increase of wage than a decrease of even slighter wage. We can hope they don't get significantly more than what their making.

But then arises the question: why sign somebody who doesn't perform?

Basically, if the likes of Quag and Pepe do perform and we want to sign them, then obviously they will demand a raise in wages. If they don't perform, then we might send them back, having to start all over again.

So on the surface this looks like good business, but in only one season we will have to tie these players down with larger salaries. People need to take that into account.

This is why I'd rather sign younger starlets for longer-term, cheaper contracts, building a base that way.

The initial problem was the change of formation from Ranieri's 4-4-2 which was quite successful and needed few polishing to Ferara's 4-3-2-1/ diamond 4-4-2. We didn't have the players. If you want to buy few quality players as apposed to many abv average, we needed to maintain similar formation and style of play.

Well, then again, if we had the players for the straight 4-4-2, then why did we sign four wingers this offseason?

The answer is we didn't have the right players to play the straight 4-4-2 either.

It's not so much the system that was the problem last year, but rather the lack of quality, poor managing and an overall poor mentality on the pitch.

Sounds like a good move, as long as he replaces them with better scouts.

But the question arises: will he actually sign any of the proposed starlets that the new scouts find?

What will their wages be?

In theory, there should be a better chance of signing players who are recommended to him by people he trusts.

In theory, yes. But if he feels like he knows of what he thinks is a better option, then all bets are off.

And getting in some better ones! I was hoping that there would be more news of us becoming affiliated with Palmeiras (there were rumours of that happening during the summer).

 

[Red]

You would like to think he wouldn't bother to set up a new scouting team if he wasn't going to make use of them.

Just have to wait and see.

What's the point of scouting South America? Not to many Italian players there...

Camaronesi and Amauri did

 

[Nenz]

Maybe there's just no football talent to be found in South America....

Plenty of Italian passports.

Which they'll need anyway, if they're going to join in January.

This could be interesting, perhaps with this move we could be on par with Inter and Milan's scouts in South America.
