Marotta overpaid for all of his signings last summer. This is very clear.
But the guys brought in showed more talent and potential than I expected.
Morata - overpaid, but he had to do it to lure him away from Madrid. Morata's weakness is clearly his mental fragility. He's too anxious. But he's got WC potential, I like the signing. Is mobile and agile.
Coman - 0 cost, great potential, excellent signing
Pereyra - overpaid in order to expand the payment throughout a lot of years. But I liked what I saw, even though he fiinished the year in bad form. He's quicker and more skilled than I thought. He can even dribble and has a bit of flair. Gotta improve his finishing obviously. But I like his age and his potential. Gives good depth for the mid.
Romulo - disastrous so far, but the blame here is on the medical department. Pubic problems are very hard to deal with, they linger for a lot of time and surgery is very delicate. His value looked good as a good rotation / backup player, but we fucked it up when we signed the guy with an important health problem.
Evra - also very bad. But I wasn't against it when it was done, I also thought he would offer at least decent stability to the position.
So all in all, the 3 big investment on 3 young players who are showing plenty of potential. So I'm OK with Marotta's work last summer.
Just please don't go back to the old Italian instinct and do not sign Sneijder, and do not spend uneeded money on a scrub like Rolando.
