Not sure you have Pjanic in the right category..
yeh i get you. I wanted him to be really game changer for us... but us sad that he is way too inconsistent and not the playmaker i was hoping. But i still have hopes that with a more robust midfield, he can express himself better.
Allegri keeps subbing him because he dissapears because of our lack of ball playing and possesion. Since he offers zero defense, he turns to be a weight to be carried...so needs to be sacrificed to change tactics. If we are able to cover his ass better, maybe, then maybe he will be the Treq we are hoping.
As a CM he is way too soft, do not like.

Padoin, Zaza and Pereyra all contributed positively during their time here and once Zaza is sold the net spent on those three will be around 0.
Every team needs good squad players that are ready to contribute when the Higuain's and Pjanic's are injured or need rest. We've been lucky that Marotta knows this unlike many nay sayers on here. Without a strong bench we wouldn't be where we are now.
You are just putting things cute.
Padoin was a lovable bench warmer, nothing more.
Zaza, we paid a lot of money for him and Allegri never gave him a proper run even when he was pulling his share. Summary: It was a clear misunderstood between Beppe and Allegri...as he was not convinced from minute one and it was proven the way we dispatched him. Now we dont know how to sell him. This cam be seen as a fail transfer.
Pereyra: The almost dude. It was always almost with him. He got injured and then Allegri got tired and then he was sold. Nothing notable came from this transfer.
Look at Lemina (came from marseille) now, yeah he was cheap but he is not used because of who knows why. He is turning fast into a wtf transfer.
isla: I dont even need to comment.
Whats the point in buying squad dudes that are not cutting it and need to be sold the next season for peanuts because our coach do not want?.
I prefer to buy top dudes fromt ime to time..that to fill the team everyyear with fodder that will be disposed later because of lack of quality.
This is are not masterstrokes from marotta, is simply bad planning.
i really dont know whats going on with marotta sometimes.
