Marotta or Secco (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter Trequartista
- Start date
but he did
I was just assuming that we're allowed judge two people on the same grounds despite the non-uniformity of their situations.
Andrade was at Depor, not at Juve, he never played (4) for us and cost 10M.
It's unfair to judge Andrade for 4 appearances much in the same way it is for Motta,14 and Martinez 12. All 3 were good before they joined us but none, through injury or idiocy has been given the correct instruction or a fair crack at the whip.
I we can judge Marotta on those two, then we can judge Seccon on Andrade IMO and he was the worst signing of either mans reign.

The main problem with Andrade was that he had two operations in 2006 and 2007 before he joined Juve (fracture of the rotula, whatever it means) and there was a huge chance for him to have the same problem again. We knew all that and yet we took the risk.
As expected, he had the same injury on his left knee very soon after he joined Juve and that marked the end of his career.
His quality and experience was undisputed, but how in hell he passed the medical is a story of its own.
Martinez too suffered with injuries. Spent a lot of time injured in Catania and even nobodies like us, the forum members, feared that he's too old to put the injuries behind him. As expected, he spent more than half of the season injured. What's worse, he had like 5-6 injuries and just like in Catania he was available for 2-3 matches and then missed 4-5, over and over again.
The difference between the two cases is that if both of them managed to leave the injuries behind them Andrade was going to be a top transfer while Martinez was still going to remain a mediocre player.
