Marotta has to go, today was his last strike out.
1. He should never have shot his mouth off about getting a big signing in at the start of the mercato. ''Oh yeah we will get a Aguero, a Tevez, a Sanchez'' etc, his summer signings were fine, but he raised our expectation level so high that any signings after he made those comments were only ever going to seem like massive let downs if they weren't who he promised, even if the players he signed were indeed good players.
2. Selling players, he had 3 months to sell players and who did we get rid of? Melo on a ridiculous loan to Gala, Momo to PSG (which he did do well on in fairness), Martinez in another ridiculous loan to Cesena and Grygera off to Fulham after we terminated his contract. We still have piles of deadwood in the squad, some of us at the start of June predicted we could have made at least 20m from sales, Marotta made us what? 9million at most? Fair enough he tried to sell Amauri and Iaq, but what are we the only team in the world that cant sell their deadwood? My view is that GM didn't do a well enough of job of clearing house.
3. Leaving it until the LAST day of the market to buy a fucking defender. This in my opinion is the true nail in his coffin, everyone knew we needed a CB, so Marotta waits until less than 2 days before the window shuts to go looking for one, why didn't he ask Conte at the start of the mercato who he wanted and go and get him? or at least try too. It don't take rocket science, he never seemed to have had a plan for the market all summer, it was all over the place.
Overall the man just has to go, this was the summer where most said he would be judged, well the summer is over and the man clearly isn't up to the job. He has improved the quality of the squad, but he hasn't brought in the players he said he would, if he had have kept his mouth shut then maybe some of us wouldn't be so pissed off with him. His contract should not be renewed. Time to get your coat Marotta.
