OP
People are retarded.
Whenever I or whoever says 'that player is great' it's being replied with 'oh but our x player is better'. I don't even see the point of it.
When people used to say 'Totti is great' you're surely gonna see 'Del Piero is better' discussion next.
But this Sabatini vs Marotta is one of the funniest things ever. Everyone is gonna laugh how much they spent, yet nobody says how shit they were with Sense. Everyone is gonna say how somebody is sold, yet nobody would mention the numbers of fees when they bough him. Of course, same people will ignore the fact how we were one of biggest spenders in Europe, yet choked there.
Still, what's even worse is that it has to be a comparison and Marotta is instantly being brought in. The Marotta defenders have to step up and claim how we signed star players. Yet same will deny the bad transfers, same deny the reality of an average mercato that we have right now.

Whenever I praise Sabatini people jump in saying how Marotta is great.
I actually praised Marotta many times, I don't even think he's bad ffs. I'm glad we signed many of the players. In his first year I did not like his work, I thought it was pathetic. Later on he signed amazing players and I'm glad. However this summer I think it's far from special, just decent mercato that we had.
We won Serie A three times in a row. Sure, Conte was a wizard, but that doesn't mean I'm not Marotta any credit for his work here because he did great when he signed Licht, Vidal, Pogba, Tevez, Asamoah and Llorente (probably more, just from a top of my head).
Hell, even if I say that Sabatini is better that doesn't automatically means that Marotta is bad. But oh well, people here are mind-readers.

Both to some extent IMO.
Not just Allegri per se, but I believe we're gonna be fragile due to our sudden change of the system. Everything we've been building for years suddenly disappears when we change to 4 man defense, less wide play and more focus on the middle and trequartista department.
I think we're gonna be exposed much more, despite the quality of our starting XI. I expect good results in Europe, though.
Hopefully I'm wrong but at this point I see us dropping quite a few points. I'm far from being confident like last year when IMO it was pretty much a walking park.

Agreed.
I also however don't see Roma repeating their phenomenal last season. They've lost Benatia, and much of their gameplan last year was very much dependant on Totti, who due to his age and the resulting injury proneness is somewhat of an uncertainty.
I still regard Juventus as favourites, but much less so than I did last year.
