Melo & Krasic. It is criminal what he's done with those players.
Melo and Krasic for sure. Only 3 players sold for over 5m if we take away Diego. Even Trez should've fetched us something rather than loaning him out and paying his wages.
Just a reminder that Krasić had sat an entire season out on the bench. No leverage.

Galatasaray have taken him for a ride on Felipe Melo.

Don't forget we are funding our stadium and the Continassa with mostly cash.

We are accumulating as little debt as possible while we construct the area around our new stadium so that in the next few years we can be like Bayern instead of a traditional Italian club.

And he is supposed to spend millions upon millions on strikers in the meantime. :howler:

He's found a world class defense and midfield, won 2 scudetti, and has established a strong base to move forward for net $90M give or take.

Meanwhile, these shit clubs like Monaco pay $120M for 3 players. :lol:

Clutching at straws. His job is to sign a top player, this should be his final chance and if he doesn't then fire immediately.

It was though, Krasić flopped hard for months then he was benched and forgotten about. Similar to how Juve would have valued him at more than 50% increase of his transfer fee after those first 4 months.
He was benched because he didn't fit the system, that doesn't explain 8m lost on 15m player. Marotta is just poor negotiator.

I don't think I could see Marrotta sell him at 50% of an increment over his purchase price even that we're the case. But redundant discussion coz it never happened. Just like I don't see him sell Quag or Matri at anything close to a fair recovery on investment or their performances this term.

He's signed quite a few top players.

I'm guessing you mean striker. And no, his job is not to just sign strikers.
His main task is clear, if he fucks up then he should be fired.

If you have an assignment to do at work and you don't do it, do you tell your boss: sorry it was too hard, someone else did it better, I'll try again next year?

No, he was benched because he was stupid one dimensional player who add to that didn't know how to defend.
He was benched because he was harming the team with his play, the system was fine, he fits in a 4-3-3.
He is for 4-4-2.

But even if true, €7m is too low for this. That is a catasrophic loss of money. It's the difference between '22m' and 30m which say we can't afford.
