I think the transition has been about as good as you could have hoped for except for the Vidal move. I think we $#@!ed up a bit by selling him with no plan to get a #10 in here.
The thing is the transition has been more gradual than we realize. Today we wake up with Rugani, Coman, Sturaro, Dybala, Morata, Sandro, Pereyra, Berardi. Where did all this youth come from?
I think we can all remember Inter's dominant teams and then how quickly they fell apart. It was like a switch flipped and they turned to ash. Marotta is just doing his best to prevent that.
And for every small misstep he makes, he takes one giant step forward that we never properly acknowledge. Coman for $0 and now we have $20M offers a year later? That's a big positive for me. Rugani for $7M and now we're laughing at $22M offers from our rivals? It's like stealing. Marotta probably made at least $40M in added value from those 2 players alone and we don't even think about it.
