We seem to have a thing for the good-looking Italian striker types on loan with option. Matri, Borriello, Osvaldo. Perhaps Marotta purchases more based on movie star looks than actual footballing skills?
We cant sell Vucinic for 12 milion and $#@!ing Southampton pricing Osvaldo 18 mil and we consider it to be normal price.Mirko is miles ahead of Depp.Marotta again showing his incompetence when trying to sell.
Marotta did sell Matri for 11 mil... I'd say that was pretty competent. And Giach sold for a decent price. Most teams have trouble selling mediocre players around the age of 30. Vucinic would be hard to sell for 12 million for any side, seeing that he is on the wrong side of 30. Same with Quags.

selling matri for the amount we did was not through marotta's negotiating skills, it was through milan's incompetence of poor management, no other club in the world would have paid nearly that amount
unfortunately to say i think marotta will end up doing it, funding it through the sale of at least 2 of our forwards then compensate the attacking void by bringing back one of our loaned out forwards
I have that in mind but I just think Mirko is much better player and yet Marotta is not able to sell him for the right price.I wonder who besides Pogba who is "one in a milion" talent, is Marotta able to sell for good price not to mention to sell for crazy money to Monaco and likes.
i'd sooner not buy osvaldo send him a thank you card for 6 months of service, save ourselves 18 mill, sell whatever deadwood we can elsewhere whilst filling the attacking voids with the loaned out kids
There's no point in coming him here. 6 strikers while Conte uses 2 actually and barely ever rotates.
IMO Marotta is using this situation to force Quag/Mirko/Gio leave the club. Maybe 2 of them hard to tell. The loan is cheap so it won't cost us much but could actually give an effect.
I don't think Marotta is going to spend 18-20m for him in the summer. He's penny pinching every deal he can and now suddenly he spends so much money carelessly? Maybe it's just that Conte wants all 3 bench strikers gone because they don't fit in 433 switch he's planning to do?
Osvaldo could be Llorente's replacement as CF in 433 too. I can't see him in Tevez's role no matter which formation we use.
That is what I have trouble with.I mean, all good work and saved money when buying Tevez Marotta can easily splash and squander if he opts to buyout Osvaldo.

I see what you are saying, but you are then spreading yourselves too thin at this point if your intention is to fill the attacking voids with 2 young players.
If one young player happens to falter under the wieght of the shirt, then fine, you still have ample cover, but if both fail to impress, you've got yourself a problem.
Believe me, I would love to see Gabbiadini and Berardi succeed here, but it's a big risk to have them both here at the same time, in the same season.
If we get Osvaldo for 15million or less, I'd be okay with that (assuming he does well this winter. Bring back Berardi in the summer. Primary subs to Llorente and Tevez, Osvaldo and Berardi. That's pretty awesome.

Today we've seen that Mirko has rejected to move to 3-4 clubs. It has nothing to do with Marotta.
Arsenal wanted to loan him as well which Mirko rejected. It's not Marotta's fault they are not offering cash. Not any sane person would offer 12mln for a 30yo Mirko.
