The good signings Marotta made, in terms of making an impact at Sampdoria, pretty much: Aimo Diana, Max Tonetto, Giulio Falcone, Gennaro Delvecchio, Fabio Quagliarella, Christian Maggio, Paolo Sammarco, Hugo Campagnaro, Luca Castelazzi, Antonio Cassano, Andrea Poli, Giampaolo Pazzini. Lot's of other decent players, some poor ones, but then it is a club with a modest budget, I'm not sure what to make of it.
