In hindsight abandoning Draxler was a good move. I don't have a problem with a sporting director walking away if the cost is too high relative to the quality/how much we need the player. Which was the opposite with Tici.
Hernanes was a panic and was dreadful.
Higuain has been argued repeatedly here. I can see the pros and cons of the move. The price tag given his age/quick decline physically was the issue for me. If we didn't go for Ronaldo, Marotta may have found a way to make it work but we will never know. That move with the financial hit of Covid really set us back.

We overpaid for Higgy by about 20mil imo. He was absolutely brilliant in his first season here and was a major reason for the near treble, and then had a very good second season, albeit without as many goals but was an integral part of our gameplay and our 95 pt domestic double. I disliked him and the move at first but loved watching him transform from the selfish, poor body language, non team-player he was at Napoli (albeit great goal scorer) into more of an all-around hard-working team player here. And watching him finally break his CL knockouts curse here was great. Definitely won me over.
I also think the Ronaldo signing and Milan move fucked him over. Sent him on loan to a club in shambles. And then shipped off to PL midseason. It hastened his decline imo. If we had kept him one more season, and used the Ronaldo money to rejuvenate our midfield like Beppe wanted, I believe he would have had a good 3rd season for us in 2018-19 especially with more support from the midfield behind him. Another 20 goal season imo. Saw him come back with 11 goals-8 assists in 2019-20 for us playing 3rd fiddle to Dybala and Ronaldo.
