Well, we didn't buy Zebina, we just signed him
Blackmint, that makes sense- Roma gets Mexes as we don't make a bid and thus- don't increase his market price... while Roma sells Emerson to Juventus and makes money on the Mexes difference to pay off its debts.
But the conclusion to this though... is that Moggi never seriously considered Mexes. He wants Emerson.
