Marotta did the right thing to walk away from Nainggolan if that was the price. That would have ruined the mercato. Pure waste of money. Would rather use that money to upgrade the attack when we have a better opportunity - i.e a better partner for Tevez. If I look at the starting line-up, Asamoah and Vucinic are the 2 players who would most easily be upgraded on - so that should be the focus for any transfer involving that kind of 20m money.
I agree we are not Chelsea , we are much better than them in all ways yea we don't have money like they do but since we know that and Marotta knew that Caligari won't sell him less than 20 million he should have looked elsewhere and stop wasting time
Football fans are the most primitive and stupid people in the world, unfortunately. Marotta brought us 3 top players and yet people are whining over 9gollum. So now he is a fail
Only on Juventuz could getting Tevez, Llorente, and Obgonna for a combined fee of less than 30 million, and selling your 4th/5th choice striker for 11 million, earn you the scorn of the masses.
