This was very very pathetic. Marotta claims that he offered a deal when he heard Berbatov rejected Fiorentina. But come on - the guy was almost in Firenze already. Of course he tried to hijack the deal, along with Fulham.
Now, Marotta screwed our chances of getting Jovetic and ended with nothing. And no, he didn't act right.
Anyway, judgement on him must take into account that apart from RVP - for whom United clearly overpayed, and Juve couldn't compete with because of wages - none of the other top strikers Juve wanted are in the market. Their teams just won't sell them. Including City, at least while they don't buy a striker.
