And now we have members who again change their tune about Marotta's work. One day defending and the next questioning. It's not that complicated to make an assessment (whether pro or con) but it seems people struggle

Milan get Balo for 20m and we paid 18m for a 10 goal a season wonder Matri. :trollol:
I'm sure there is great justification, logic, reasoning and plenty of spin control on the way

Justification at that time was that he was young and Italian...
other than that, Marotta's inefficiency to sign a player of this class, he never has signed and never will sign a Balo, Dzeko, Cavani, RVP, Aquero etc forward class in his carrier, unless he is finds when he is underaged and there is no high competition for him or unless he reaches Anelka's age.

This has been prooved time and time game and as long as we wasting time with that, we are losing the Rossis, Lisandros and Kloses as well and end up with the Borriellos and Bendtners, while waiting a Llorentes contract to expire...

Balotelli and class in the same sentence, you've gotta be kidding man?

Cronios if you honestly believe a player like Mario would be good for the team then you like him are completely delusional.

great rebuttal, well done.
the names speak for themselves...those guys are some of the best in the world...matri is going up against the likes of Toni/Amauri/Quag/Bendtner/Anelka and still sucks...deny it all you want, Matri sucks.


His piss poor performances are my reasons, no need for rebuttal actually.

The point is not that, the point is that Marotta's apologist where claiming BS, like no one wants to come in Serie A,
the forward market is closed, such players can only be bought for +40mil, etc.

This transfer prooves them wrong, it is irrelevant if Mario would be the choice for us, but at any case, under Conte he would be a far greater choice than our current options...
But Mario is not the only option out there, we have more money than Milan and Fiorentina, we have a better appeal for titles, we have commited early 40mil for Asamoah and Isla
and there were ppl claiming that cannot afford such a player.

Lisandro, Rossi and Balo are just but a few exampes of forwards that we could afford and would greatly enhance our team, as their are head and shoulders above the Borriellos and Bendters
and it is only because of MArotta incompetence that we didnt, not because we couldnt afford them, wouldnt join serie A or any other lame excusion...

Again with this board's obsession for hyperbole. Matri is not prolific, therefore he is utter cack.

False.

He did a decent job. We overpaid for him slightly. Oh well.

17mln + is not slightly for him.
Again, ignoring context and circumstance. We were a dire team with no appeal. No CL. Nothing.

We signed him, he did alright. Time to move on. Is anyone upset about where we are right now because we signed Matri? Really? He is what he is. A stepping stone. Popped in a few clutch goals and helped us transition to where we are now. We've already moved on with Llorente. What has Matri done to hold us back? What has his signing done?

Should we have invested in a crystal ball that would have told us to save that 17M and wait TWO years for Balotelli to fallout at Man City and then outbid his boyhood club? I guess?

42 starts, 23 goals. Let's not act like he did nothing for this team because he's not doing well right now.
