Reading that story from FI where they suggest (probably make up) that Marotta feels he didn't have enough time to prepare transfers, is it right to suggest that a director general cannot assemble a squad in just over 3 months (less considering EL qualifiers) for a new season?
Given that, by the summer, he and his staff would have had a chance to look at players, talk to them (their agents) and their clubs, and see how they would fit into our team for over a year, should we not expect better signings this summer? Maybe this is what BD means. If he can't get it right this time around, he isn't going to.
