He made good moves and bad moves, this mercato. It wasn't perfect. It was more like most team's mercatos if you actually pay attention to the footballing world.
Inter replaced Eto'o with fucking Forlan and Zarate.
Roma made shitty deals on Bojan, Osvaldo and still have not even a single defender.
Udinese sold their whole team and replaced no one.
Lazio is banking on Klose and Cisse LOL.
What did Milan do?
You guys expect Marotta to fill every hole on this team, meanwhile, we have like 10M in wages tied up in players who won't play for us and won't leave.
But in the end, all these players on our team are good enough for 3rd place if we have the coach. That is Marotta's biggest mistake so far.

I don't blindly bash Marotta. There are plenty of facts and subject matter to justify my criticism.
I don't care that he did not sign Aguero or Pastore, etc.. But the fact that he opens his pedo mouth and guarantees "world class" players to be signed over the summer mercato leaves him open to any and all criticism. And to top if off he ends up signing ZERO "world class" talent. Unless we consider Ziegler, Licht, Vidal etc.. as world class.
As I've said many times before, let the season play out and then we can re-assess. But for now my opinion of him and his work has not changed.

Great, now they're the kings of the football world, no matter what. 
4.5M/year to Pastore, 40M transfer fee and no CL for PSG. We had funds to do that as far as I'm concerned. Not in an eventual bid war with PSG, but it's well known we could've got him a month or two before PSG. An no, I'm not saying Pastore is Marotta's fault, because I guess Conte didn't want him, but I'm just saying those players are not impossible to get as some want to make it to be.

it is not impossible no,but it would be foolhardy and reckless to say the least
unless of course you are bankrolled by a Qatari multi-billionaire
why bring them into conversation if you are not trying to make a point?
we went fot Lugano but PSG offered him 4m a year
we enquired about Vargas but lets be honest half of the forum here would ahve been mortified if we had got him,even we cannot agree on his worth
Elia i a gamble,no doubt and Zeigler is a stop-gap at best but both are more than capable for Serie A,since we have no European football we should not need as large a squad and in all honesty at least there is room for improvement with Elia
Then why did he make so many comments promising top players? Marotta fully deserves most of the criticism he is getting now after promising "champions" and dropping big names like Aguero, Tevez, Benzema spending our whole summer chasing them and not getting shit.
After the comments he made in the press I think we had reason to get our hopes up.

yup it is a travesty that we didn't spend 120m on 3 player on combined wages of 16m per year for our assault on Serie A and the coppa Italia
these 3 players would have been able to shore up all the gaps in our squad
you quoted me.i simply hate this culture of "all or nothing" and fapping over fantasy transfers that have no ground for reality

Liverpool are the only real comparison. Formerly successful club, out of Europe, have spent a similar amount of money. We don't know Liverpool's finances compared to ours, just that they have had a takeover from a wealthy group and spent around £130m (€150m) in fees since NESV (FSG) took over, having sold Torres for £50m. I also believe their director, Comolli, is a very good dealer in the market.
It's very easy to have €100m and spent it on 10 €10m players, but not so with 4 €25m players, not in today's market withe everyone else interested. We are reduced to looking at the likes of Suarez at Ajax, Dzeko at Wolfsburg at the very top end. This is where Marotta either failed or chose to not even enter the market. Which make his early market statements totally ridiculous.
but we managed to sign these players in FM
Well I wasn't expecting us to poach top players off of top clubs or anything but I did expect at least a focus on quality over quantity and at least one top player.
Why is it so outside the box? It's not like our club is poor at all. We spend loads of cash and sign ten freaking players each window instead of looking for quality. This window was more of the same despite numerous comments and promises that it wouldn't be hence my frustration.

De Rossi is miles ahead of Marchisio.
