I can't really be bothered right now so I'll be short.
- Martinez scores more goals then Elia because Martinez is a SS. That's right we're paying 12m to play a
decent support striker as a left wing. Elia is a much better option.
- Krasic is also a more proven player then Pepe. He's played well in the CL and WC and Pepe played ok in Serie A. He shows much more class with the ball, and is quicker. If Pepe was so sufficient how come Marotta's been trying to sign Krasic and Elia in the first place??
- Poulsen should not be considered dead wood. He's useful, and without him we now have a CM deficiency.
- Buying a few high profile players each year is how great teams are built on a tight budget. If we bought two or three big names this year with our complete budget I would have been satisfied. Its quality not quantity during the mercato.
- You want to talk about young talent? Ekdal and Giovinco are gone!
- We got ripped off severely on the Tiago deal. Should have been around 5m.
- We SPENT money to offload Camoranesi and haven't ridden ourselves of Brazzo, Grosso etc. This is testimony to his inability to negotiate. Its unbelievable how many negotiations he's started and hasn't been able to finish. And the ones he did finish we got ripped got ripped off on. Namely Tiago and Giovinco. If he expected 6m from the Tiago deal how did he manage to only get 0.5m?
The guy is useless. Really can't wait to see him fired.
