One just needs to calculate the total costs of the bad players he bought. I bet that figure is pretty darn infuriating.

Going into the middle of January last season, that squad was in 2nd place. Injuries then took their toll, and as a result, it turned into a full blown crisis last year.
Marotta's biggest mistake last year was bringing in Del Neri to coach the squad.
This year, the injuries are now starting to add up a little, though not to the level that last year brought. This year's squad is a more talented bunch than last year, and they have a proper coach to guide them through the tough times.
But let's not forget that last year's squad was doing well until everything collapsed.

Was Bonnucci at 15m and Marco Motta, better value than the outgoing players? Caceres, Molinaro and Grygera were never suitably replaced.
Were Martinez and Pepe better than the outgoing Camoranesi or Giovinco? Krasic was a good buy.
Were targets like DiNatale, Borriello and eventually his third choice Quag enough to replace the outgoing Diego and Trezeguet?
The biggest loophole in all of this was, that he hired a coach who wanted to play the 442, and failed to identify or redress the main issue that formation needed. Wing play. The most basic issues weren't addressed, while the expenditure hadn't decreased. It will explain to you why Marchisio was played out on the wing.
Marrotta failed to approach this like a big club SD would. He failed to build a platform, let alone a team. And of course needless to say, all the above mentioned players were put on the market at the start of last season including Martinez, Bonnucci and Pepe, while Krasic will be in the months ahead, and if Quag is unlucky he will be too. Had he only bought 3 or 4 players, an RB, an LB, a replacement for Amauri who had been shit for an entire year before Marrotta came, and a better LM than Martinez, albeit in the 12m category, this team would've already been in the CL with guys like Camoranesi, Diego, Giovinco, Del Piero and Trezeuget. Easily.

In April 2008, coach Antonio Conte compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo, stating that he has the possibility and potential to reach similar levels in his football and quoting "Lanzafame has improved tactically” to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “He is explosive, he sniffs the goal, and imposes his speed outside the area. If he improves and learns he can become like Cristiano Ronaldo."
