As I was starting this thread, Moratti was finalizing the deal for Luis Figo, a player who has been on decline for two years now.
Enough said.
Meanwhile, Moratti's number one contender for the title of most imbecilic supremo in world football, Florentino Perez, was welcoming Julio Baptista and Robinho to the Bernabeu even though his club can already rely on the services of Ronaldo, Raul and Owen but desperately require defensive aid.
Take your pick, they're both idiots
On a more serious note though, at least Moratti bought players who play positions that need strengthening at Inter. Ok, they could've done without David Pizarro as they have guys like Dejan Stankovic, Esteban Cambiasso and Juan Sebastian Veron on their roster, but they needed a new CB and some wide players so in come Samuel, Solari and Figo. Don't get me wrong, I still think that Moratti is a complete fool, but Perez takes the cake IMO.
