Beppe Marotta Is My God

The criticizers seem to forget that we have changed formation this year and this was not Marotta's choice.
This change greatly affects our needs. Esp considering the 2 troublemakers Dalves and Bonucci. Dalves was used as a wing back in a 3-5-2, a formation consisted of 3 CBs and a second line of CMs ahead of them to support them, so the wingbacks role in this formation was to support the two forwards, playing exactly at Dalves strengths.
Now, in the 4-2-3-1 the wingbacks are an integrated part of the defense, their primary role is to defend, smth Dalves is not particularly fond of...
Skinny legs, a vastly overrated player, in this forum, was not quite appreciated by many coaches, other than Conte and Bep and since his lousy character dared to exclude EPL as a destination and we were foolish to respect the will of a troublemaker, Milan was our best option, as they were the big spenders of this summer, in Italy.
Skinny legs, essentially a tall, weak and slow CM is only helpful in a crowded defense, with capable defenders around him, to do the defending, so he can do the passing, other CMs, who play as CBs, like De Rossi and Mascherano seem to have developed better defending skills than him.
in a 4 man defense, it is essential from the CB to know how to defend like a man and less important how to pass, so again Bonucci would be a liability, like he was always been when he was forced to defend!

De Sciglio is indeed a kak player, an abomination that should never wear our jersey, but that was Allegri's mistake too.
Max has lived in the shadows of Conte long enough, he is desperate to change the formation, risking everything in our squad.
To change this formation, we wanted 2 very important transfers, two capable wingers and Beppe delivered!
The formation is not working as intended and after the first friendlies it became obvious that a capable DM and RB, (maybe a CB too, in case we revert to 3-4-3) were also needed and Beppe delivered again.
The players we got are good enough to support our starters and eventually become starters themselves.
Now it's up to Max to integrate them and get the better from them, also to make the necessary calibrations to fine tune the little details that need to be fixed, the material is there. Marotta has delivered what we needed!

Yet indeed, his selling and loaning lefts a lot to be desired...
So much brilliance in this post :lol2:

- "Skinny legs"

-"The criticisers" :lol2: this is coming from Cronios remember :D

- "Dalves" :lol: (I love this one)

- His hatred of Italian players...although justified when it comes to MdS :D

It wasnt a disaster however it was poor. Its not that the players he signed werent good, they were great. However they (Pjanic and Higuain) were not players that could fit right into the team. There is a reason we changed formations and our football was so poor in the first half. Thankfully Allegri is a genius.

Pjanic did have a brilliant season. However his brilliant performances came after we moved away from 352. The team's performances were far poorer last season in 352 than the season prior and I think that has allot to do with losing Pogba.
Finally someone who see's my thoughts on the mercato.

The players on their own were all good quality that we signed and that's why I gave the mercato a 9/10 last season.

However after seeing the players in the system and seeing the changes Allegri had to make, the players imo did not fit the system and Allegri performed a miracle to get the results he did in the second half of the season.

Perhaps it was not a disaster mercato but it definitely was not a good overall mercato when you take into account the system and the changes Allegri had to make.

I don't think many managers could have done what Allegri did last season with the squad he had and how consistent his results and performances were after he was forced to change system and play Mandzukic as a left winger.
