Look, Mandzukic was a great signing, only a few complained about it because they don't like the player. Dybala though we overpaid a bit it was understandable and almost everyone is excited about it. Khedira was a great addition ahead of selling Vidal. Then came the Vidal fiasco. Selling Ogbonna was amazing and followed by a very smart Alex Sandro masterpiece, everyone praised him for this. Then came the Llorente charity. Cuadrado was always a interesting addition considering he is on loan and many have seen how good he can be. But you, DP84, zizinho and Hustini would not allow anyone to say anything about Vidal and Llorente. No one is arguing that Vidal wanted to leave, we are only saying that it might have been tackled in a better way. No one is saying that it isn't good freeing Llorente's wages but letting him go for free is lame, he has value and has two years left on his contract. When we got him for free he was out of contract. You and the people I mentioned tend not to read any posts when we praise Marotta for the good deals but go searching like a weasel to find the smallest of complaints to defend it. It's really a disgusting attitude to be honest.
I will say it again, simply and as unbiased as possible: Marotta can't sell. He sucks at it and that is his worst attribute. Do you agree? Because that is what I think. As for Vidal, we all wish he went for a bigger sum, but 37m is a lot if use properly and I see the reasons why we made the move happen (or let it happen the way it did). Zaza is a decent striker especially for Italy and IF we decide to sell in a year or two I see us making up most of that money. He will be a good back up striker. If, in a year, he does nothing like Llorente did last year I will apologize and say I was wrong.
Lastly, we still have a few days left in the mercato so I will wait for my final full judgement to see how all these strange puzzle pieces fit together, if they do at all.
I forgot, you mentioned Llorente as well. I have hardly said anything actually because my theory is rescinding his contract was our way of freeing up wages for another player we need. Does it make sense to overpay for him as 5th choice and him refuse to go anywhere or other clubs interested not want to pay up? We probably took the chance to free up the 20m in wages over the next couple years which IF Marotta signs someone big in the coming days would make this make completely sense. If Beppe does not then not only did the Llorente move not make sense that would ultimately make the Zaza one that much worse.
You can agree, disagre, I could care less these are my theories I don't know what the other people you listed all say because I don't read hardly any of their posts to be honest.
