As I said, the Trez move was wrong IMO and Martinez cannot be assessed yet but the rest of the moves were fine. I'm sure you were pissed when we got Quag but it turned out he is one of our most important players.

No I did not and I don't think anyone said Marotta is perfect.
No Andy, you are not a bad guy I am sure of that, you may be a great guy but I don't know you in person. But from what I know about you, you don't strike me as a bad guy. However, you have an extremely bad habit in disregarding ANYTHING in between the extremes.

Another critisim of Marotta is how he neglected the squad while he was trying to sign Dzeko all summer.
When it was clear Dzeko wasn't for sale he suddenly remembered he had a squad to rebuild and it seemed like he didn't have any clear targets so he signed mediocre players such as Rinaudo, Traore and the farcical way he handled the Diego situation.
I expected him to have a clear plan of who he wanted though he was under pressure trying to off load players as Zebina,Camo,Poulsen,Tiago,Grosso where all refusing every destination they were offered.

Giving Marotta thumbs up for Quag's deal is silly. Quag was plan C and a panic buy after we sold Diego without having a deal in hand for his replacement. We got Quag only because we failed to buy Borriello and Di Natale. Lets stop making it look as if Marotta sold Diego in order to replace him with Quag.
He takes criticism for every panic buy. Why make a panic buy in late August at first place (Unless a late August injury is the reason)?
There was absolutely no reason to make a panic buy in August 25th or so.
If the plan was to sell Diego and replace him with player A, a director should work seriously on that and secure player A before he sold Diego. Our director didn't do that. He sold Diego and then started looking for an attacker. He made a bid, he got rejected, made a second bid, got rejected. Why make the Quag purchase a master stroke now? It wasn't. It was pure luck following a desperate and clueless behavior from Marotta.

plan a or plan z, he got him for a good price and it worked, deserves the credit definitely. I didn't criticize any of his transfers (the one we bought only), and I don't think he deserves any, only Martinez's transfer's value looks overpaid, but too early to judge for that.
As for the players sold, many mistakes were there.
It all depends where we will finish this season, then we can say what he did wrong or right. but so far, after a terrible season like last season, everything is ok. We replaced 12 players, don't forget that. and so far it gave positive results, we were in much better position before the Parma game. I won't change my mind because of one single match.
