I acually agree with Cron on this. Conte is the one that deserves praise, not Marotta.
A lot of people were skeptical about our acquisitons, how we did not buy a proper/quality CB, resolved our LB problem, or bought any marquee players when Marotta was promising players of Benzema or Aguero's caliber.
Conte managed to transform this group into what it is now, and while far from being perfect, we have accomplished as much as we have thus far, mainly due to Conte and in spite of Marotta.
When Marotta resolves our LB problem once and for all (and not by acquiring shitbags like Aogo), acquires a quality CB (Hummels, not Boshitty), gets rid of the deadweight, gets us a starting RW, and a signing to excite the fans, only then will I praise him for his work.
