yeah and he only had to sell thiago silva and ibra to get balotelli... what a guy!
Still though, Marotta never did and never will buy a wanted player like Balotelli, NEVER in his carrier!
Which is not even a top player to begin with, just a highly advertised and overhyped player, but still way beyond Marotta's reach.
There is a huge difference in class from managers that regularly sign the Kakas, the Ronaldos and ronaldinhos and small time managers like Marotta that never secured a deal wich such high profile targets.
Of course Galliani is cack and he only accomplished what he did because of Berlus political influence and dirty money.
But even then, when he contacts an agent, his word demands some respect, as he has experience whith such transfers in his carrier, he has concluded a lot of them.
Even when everybody knows that Milan is now in a terrible situation, mush worse than we are, the managers and agents, respect him for his past deals.
On the other hand noone takes seriously Marotta, not even Italian clubs like Parma and Udinese, thats why we always overpay for our players, cant make a profit from sales and will never touch international high profile targets, as long as we have Marotta...
