Take us any further?
I don't know many GM's that have taken over for disastorous GM's like Secco and with a BUDGET build a team on track for 4 consecutive titles. The issue with the CL the last two seasons have been strictly down to Conte's stubborness to shake things up. We all know that.
Agnelli gives him a budget. Allegri/Conte makes requests for specific players with specific attributes and Marotta tries to stay in both parameters as long as they don't make the club sink into the red.
Took me a double read, I thought you were calling me an imbecile.
But seriously you should relax a bit on Marotta. If you have an issue with him the only thing I would perhaps agree on is his weakness in selling. Everyone has a weakeness, even Moggi did. But all things considered with how weak Italian football has become and the challenges in attracting world class players in a league with a weak image currently and stronger than usual financial parameters (FFP) I think he has done quite well in a couple of things:
1.) Keeping our best players amidst strong (Very strong) foreign interest.
2.) Finding our best players and getting great deals on them.
3.) Getting Conte & Allegri and considering the short notice on the Allegri option was quick thinking on his feet.
My honest opinion is that the great players he has got for land mark deals (Vidal, Llorente, Pirlo, Pogba, etc) gave him a stronger financial ability to take risks on say, Pereyra, Morata, etc. because getting a team full of world class freebies is next to impossible.
Personally, I've always been a fan of his shrewd signings and risky adventures like Morata/Pereyra most recently.
@Bianconero_Aus, would you agree with this?

If he turns out absolutely shit, like say, Immobile at Dortmund, will you still think the 13m is a pathetic transfer fee?
