Marotta's inability to sign top players is one thing. But him discarding players that could still be useful today and not finding a suitable replacement is what I have an issue with, heck he didn't even cash in on them! Melo, Trez, Diego, Camo all could be very useful in our current squad, some could have been sold for decent amount, but no...we are getting the much more efficient and spectacular Giach, Bendtner, Elia and Padoin.
You people really need to get over the Trez, Camo, Diego, Melo crap. 3/4 of those players sucked, were on high wages and needed to go. Simple as that.

I have lots of respect for Marotta's work, but to this day I just cannot understand the Isla deal. It was risky and unnecessary transfer back then. Isla was still recovering from major injury and we were well covered in that position (we had Licht, Pepe, Cecares).
I siggested a conspiracy theory a while ago : udinese forced marotta to take isla too in the deal for asamoah

some may laugh, but it's possible

I don't think the blame for that lies on him. He said his best duo in attack was Diego and Trez.
I'm sure it had something to do with it.

That season we could've had a much better team with a different formation and kept Trez and Diego instead of getting Krasic.

1st half:


Storari
Goat:)sergio:)-Bonucci-Chiellini-Grosso
Melo-Aquliani-Marchisio
Diego
Del Piero-Quag/Trez​

2nd

Buffon
Sorensen-Barza-Bonucci-Chiellini
Melo-Aquliani-Marchisio
Diego
Del Piero-Trez/Matri​

hindsight is 20/20.....

Lippi:
“It’s a bad sign for Italian football that none of the teams got past the quarter-finals this season. It reflects the economic situation too, as the top European clubs have very different options on the transfer market.
So now that Marcello is backing up Marotta's point with regards to finances, does that make his point more tangible now?
