matuidi was an eye bleeding player, who sucked ass. not to mention he was supposed to replace paul fucking pogba in his prime. khedira came for free which is ok but he was also half the player he was supposed to replace. higuain and douglas costa transfers can't be explained as simply being overpaid. they nuked our finances so bad, fallout will effect the club for at least a decade. vucinic and evra sucked too. humiliating transfer of morata which is the only example of a so called big club buys a player with buy back clause. his only good transfers were vidal whom he sold to bayern for half of his worth, barzagli and pirlo revitalized by conte and tevez.
he is a catastrophe, he got very lucky to have conte after his glorious start with del neri and he made a career built on that era.
as for paratici signings, pogba and coman were his doing, most probably vidal too. if you think that marotta had any knowledge of players playing outside of italia, especially the youth, you are deluding yourself. chiesa, cancelo, kulusevski, demiral, de ligt, romero all had quality and bright future ahead of them. we sucked at utilizing them but that doesn't change the fact that we were on right path, building a future instead of collecting deadwood like we did with marotta and we are doing right now.
i wish we had a simulation that allows us to pair allegri with marotta and conte with paratici, put them in same league with same amount of money and see what happens. that would spare us a lot typing.
