Ah, 'excuses'.
If Galliani showed half the ability of Marotta to create a good team/squad - not just put together a few good forwards and hope for the best - I'd have a lot more time for the claims of his greatness.
Mila's transfer strategy is largely affected by Berlu's policies, Galliani is just the tool to complete the deals.
If Berlu wants Italians to stress out his nationalistic pride for political reasons, Galliani must sign those crappy Italian defenders he can.
If he want an immediate easy victory for the coming election, the fan favorite Ballo needs to come asap.
To assemble the team is far more complex than that, to make the tools work and fit, to get the better of them, those are mostly the coaches field of expertise and responsebilities.
We do not judge the transfer directors over the performances of the teams.
The transfer directors jobs end once the season starts.
The work of the transfer director is to make those transfer, get the players the team need, he is responsible for their injuries performance etc.
Ex Balotelli was a prized asset, overhyped in the Italian media, in great form, young wanted, there was huge interest and competition for him.
Galliani got him right there, this is smth that MArotta has never achived in his carrier.
It doesnt really matter if Balotelli would score 30 goals, or gets injured in the first 5minutes and lose the rest of the season.
The transfer director should take full praise for signing such a hard get target, he has done his job, brought exctly what they asked him to get.
If the coach uses him as a keeper, it is not the transfers director fault he didnt perfrom either.
For ex if MArotta sisgn the most wanted player of the moment, Messi and C ronaldo.
They are at their best, with a great consistency, they have great stats and performance, even if their plane crashes on their way to Turin, MArotta sould take full credit for signing us the best players a transfer manager could have signed.
Marotta has never bought such a high profile target, never did, never will.
It is absurd to have a blind faith in each and every transfer window and then create lame excuses and blame everything alse but him when he fails to deliver.
I am just stating tha fact that Marotta has never signed such a high profile target as Higuain and Cavani are at the moment, in his entire carrier.
Because i have seen him trying before and failing (DZeko, RVP for ex) i reach in the logical conclusion that he is unable to do it, either by beinf to inexperienced or simply, incompetent.
And we have ppl making excuses for him and attack anyone who is simply reminding the fact that he never did it before and chances are that he wont do it now either.
We dont need excuses, we need results!
We need him to deliver and get us what we want!
Marotta has failed to get us what we want with consistency, the previous coaches could not compensate and ranked us 7th twice in a row.
Conte managed to compansate and made us champions twice in a row.
This prooves beyond any doubt that there is only an indirect relation by MArotta's success in the transfer market and the overall performance of the team.
Last year for ex, i made the claim that we could have win the this year champiosnhip even wihout any transfer and by only brining some of our youngsters back for depth.
We could have saved at least half of the money we have invested last year add it to this transfer budget and get the key players we need to get us to the next player.
Marotta just did more of the same, shared the money around, failed to buy again a prolific finisher, a starter CB to rotate and a starter LB who is not a liability.
He added depth and more dpeth, taking more opportunity targets and now some are giving him credit for taking those opportunity targets, simply because he could, ignoring the fact that he only did it to appeal fansand directors, for not being able to get accomplish his targets. and then because of conte he gets more undeserved credit for Conte's work.
Despite Conte playing ith huge handicaps because MArotta cannot do his job and sign the players we need.
MArotta asked for more and better defenders, MArotta failed to bring any, Conte is forced to adapt and change the formation in order to play without a LB and use two fallbacks and 3 midfleielders to further support the defence, at the expense of the tactics and options he had in mind.
And MArotta then takes the credit for making a champions team.
Conte asked for wingers better than Pepe esp at the left flank, MArotta could nothing better than Martinez and Elia and Giaccherini, Conte is forced to play Marchishio or a turn a CM of a left LWB, MArotta takes credit for the acquisition.
Conte asks for a prolific finisher, Marotta brings us Borriello, Bendtner and Anelka, our teams if forced to control the game in an exausting fashion that we create chances for 70/90' and allow them none, so that our SSs, CMS and CBs somehow happen to score one of our trillion chances. Marotta takes credit for the total number of goals we have scored.
This is beyond ridiculous, conte threatended to leave unless the boar dguarantess that the team will be strenghtened with quality players and not with random opportunity targets,
the board somehow has made that promised and pursuaded him to extend, but MArotta is still here failing, only because he got all that undeserved credit.
This madness needs to stop! It is hurting our team in the long run, we could do more with conte, we need to stop wasting seasons beacuse of MArotta's inefficiences, no matter if conte can compensate ot nor!
