Since we have kept Krasic and Sorensen and bought a starting LW, even in the last day of the transfer window, i ll give it a 6-
Our main objective were met, i m not affected about the loss of champions, as we never had a chance to get any.
Melo's tragic loss for no particular reason is the highlight of the season and Licht is the best transfer we made.

I dont believe that the coach hiring should be included in this rating, if i d have to include it, then my grade would be a 3+

6/10

Could have been much higher with a quality CB, although I am happy that we did not knee jerk and buy some random CB but rather kept Sorensen. It is extremely hard to make up for Secco's fuck ups, what an absolute imbecile he was....Hopefully we can buy a quality CB in Jan. Maybe a LB as well.

Well, this mercato is full of disappointments to be honest even if reason speaks at the players links it should be understood that the targets were never to arrive. However, with the early disappointments by the end of July, the movements looked promising with Vucinic and Vidal arriving. With these two and the unnecessary loans that got signed, it looked like 4-3-3 is our best bet looking at the nature of midfielders we had and the number of forwards. By the end of August we also heard Agnello and Marotta promising again lots of things in August, just like they did in the beginning and failing. One would think they won't lie twice in the span of two months but they did. Giaccherini, Estegarribia and Elia meant that they ignored what is better for the squad just to please the only formation that Conte wants to field. Two unknowns and one lame player were acquired because that's what Marotta was only able to sign, covering it with bullshit about Conte not wanting this and not wanting that after each and every failure. And all this is a preparation for creating the scape goat Conte which will face the boot when/if the objectives fail. Then the icing on the cake was the centre back that was ignored since day one and only rushed in the last week. Up until now I don't know what Marotta was doing in the first weeks of August and left all the defender negotiations until the last week.

I will not mention anything about Amauri, Iaquinta and Grosso because it is not Marotta's fault they rejected all offers but loaning out Melo the way he did was a shame. Add to that him suffering in offloading some players was not enough lesson for him that such players don't leave, he went on and signed Pepe, Pazienza, Motta, Giaccherini, Estigarribia and to some extent Elia.


Yet I still hope the team will surprise me and over achieve.

First of all,

Marotta you son of a motherless goat!

In

Vucinic: Actually a decent transfer but huge disappointment after hearing names of Agüero and Rossi from our sports director. 7/10

Pirlo: He was good some time ago. Now he is kicked out by likes of Van Bommel, Boateng and Flamini. He can still be useful in 3 man midfield. But he is worthless in 4-2-4. 6/10

Ziegler: Only available player who is probably worse than De Ceglie. We should have gone for a proper left back. 4/10

Pazienza: Way inferior to Sissoko. Huge decrease of quality. 2/10

Matri: He is a decent poacher with ridiculous price tag. I still don't know how we ended up paying 18 million for him while there is no one else interested. 6/10

Quagliarella: Good addition. 7/10

Simone Pepe: Shady one this deal is. 10 million for someone we aren't gonna use. Marotta got a bigger pocket now. 0/10

Motta: 5 million for new Grygera. Cassani gone for same price, Marotta you retard. 0/10

Lichtsteiner: Ok. 7/10

Arturo Vidal: We shall see but i am hopeful. 7/10

Giaccherini: Instead of buying one quality winger, we got 3 shitty players. Business as usual. 3/10

Estigarribia: If he was young, this move would be tolerable. But he is not. So fuck it. 1/10

Elia: Only we need was a world class left winger but somehow we couldn't find any in 3 months. Average tricky winger who is not young anymore. 6/10

Other unbearable moves

Instead of getting a unquestionable coach, Marotta decided to download a pirate one from internet. Conte is coach who has no career and would never manage Juventus if he wasn't an ex-player.

Getting rid of Felipe Melo and Giovinco for nothing.

Martinez: Should be INVESTIGATED

Pukeinta, Diarrhui, Pee Pee. They are still here.

We were almot buying Gastaldello. Floro Fucking Flores of defenders. What was that? Marotta paying his debts to Sampdoria?

Summary

Andrea and Elmer both promised about champions will arrive. I can't see any. We are not much better than last season. We couldn't manage to sell any of junk we have. We have a huge squad full of shit, remind me a dumping ground about to explode. Where is the investment, where is the quality players? Failure. 2/10

I think I rated it about 5 last season.

On the one hand, it's difficult to go lower since I feel no incredibly major fuck ups ocurred (Trez case). As for incoming/outgoing transfers, I agree with some of them & disagree with others.

On the other hand, there are too many incoming players. And, more importantly, we now have a bigger (more expensive) squad than we had last year, while not playing in Europe. And for that, a correct rating would be 0/10.

Guess that makes it 3/10...

7, incoming transfer were ok.
Outgoing transfer disspointed me, although I still hope Amauri and Pepe will be sent to Turkey or Russia.
