Cronios already said he will praise Marotta if he signs Higuain and he praised him already for the Vidal sale, for 120M he will make a Marotta statue in his backyard
Bottom line is, the more we sign players like Luca toni and try for flores, etc the more we will have to spend to catch back up while Inter and AC are both doing things right.
We are trying to find cheap alternatives to patch holes but ignoring the fact that for us to catch back up in quality only gets more expensive with each bad signing we make.
It really is too bad because our season could have been turned around literally for free. His name is Antonio Cassano and we should have fucking brought that mother fucker here for NOTHING. Between Secco and Marotta that is by far the worst move I have ever seen, even worse than buying Amauri IMO. Second worst is continuously letting go of Giovinco.
Those two players (Gio and Cassano), had they have been playing yesterday the game would have been different because our possession would have improved along with opportunities. Gio is showing that he can even score goals.
Cassano for free would have given us money to buy one good outside back. We could have use the entire winter budget on 1 player as opposed to some between Luca Toni, another striker and a defender. Cassano for free would have meant we could have gone balls out on one more player this winter and gotten two (Cassano) and a great defender.
Failing to sign Piazon just shows the direction this club is heading with the BoD in the drivers seat. We were supposed to bring in younger players and build a solid foundation...we are doing THE EXACT OPPOSITE. The foundations that were laid last summer have crumbled to rubble. Not signing this kid was a mistake because this is one of the kinds of risks we should be taking...what is more expensive?...signing an old washed up pirlo at 3 or more million a year for 4 years or 10m Piazon at 1-2m a year? Because in 3 or 4 years we will find ourselves having to spend so much more money replacing Pirlo anyways so why the fuck we didn't land Piazon is beyond me. Sign a great talent that is good for 5-6 years or more if he becomes great make a huge profit off of him or keep him...but we opt for the quick fix band aids that end up costing more in the long run.
Ive always adored this guy. Made some questionable moves along the way but I always did my best to look at the big picture of what the board was trying to do. This summer we finally see the culmination of that effort
