baggio: I thank you for enganging in a serious discussion about Marotta, contrary to those who just visit the thread from time to time just to bash him for no apparant reason. You raise some interesting points that have made me think about all of this from a different perspective. Still, I feel that you base a little too much of your views on rumours rather than facts. What I've tried to do in my posts regarding Marotta is to just stick to the facts. And the fact that he brought us Matri, Quag, Krasic, Pirlo, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Vucinic, Pepe, Bonucci etc. is all I really need. Some of those signings are indeed better than others, but I believe a couple of them can be called fantastic signings. I've also stuck to other facts, but there's no point in rewriting all that I've written before.
Remember also that Galliani signs his occasional Emmanuelson, Bonera, Yepes and Strasser. So it's not like he nets himself an Ibra every time.
