I dont blame Marotta for any of this.
Besides a few dud purchases Marotta has made, Secco for the most part signed absolute trash and there is so much of it in our team and it is hard to get rid of. If Marotta can get rid of even half of those players this summer Ill be pleased.
And of course Cronios didnt criticise Grygera who was a Moggi signing. I'd much rather have Toni in our team than Grygera, in fact I think Toni can come in handy this season.
Grygera was brought for free and we are not overpaying for his salary, there is no capital loss there, but we have spent money to buy Motta and Martinez and overpaid Toni's salary, to secure his services. There will be a capital loss if we sell Motta+Martinez for less, or forced to pay Toni's clause to release him.
We made compromises we shouldnt and we made them just now, after already knowing how bad the situation is, after repeating those tragic mistakes so many times.
We should learn smth from our mistakes and try to avoid them. Marotta was brought just because of that and committed the very same mistakes we hired him to fix.
There is no need to sell Toni if Iaquinta and Amauri are sold. Motta can be sold as he is young and he wants to have a lengthy contract to assure his future. The only player that was bought by Marotta that can cause some trouble is Martinez.
True, thats my view on the matter as well. I even used the same words before, for the forward situation. BUT if Marotta chooses to do otherwise, then its his choice and responsibility, isnt it?
As for Motta, we just bought him for a total fee of 5mil, if we intend to sell him, it means that we plan to make a profit, otherwise it wouldnt make sense to buy him and sell him in a month...
So its up to Marotta to prove if this was a wise move or not, depending on the sale fee or price cut value as a bargain chip perhaps.
