Marotta paid 5M for Padoin and evaluated Gabbiadini as 11M... it's just crazy (not to say stupid). Marotta lost Verratti for stg like 2M. He was playing hardball and counting on the kid to push for Juventus.
This screw up will always haunt Marotta. He simply fucked it up big time on Verratti. He'd have payed around 3/5M for half of Verratti, at most. Probably around 4M, without Buoy in the deal (+ 1/2 Troisi). PSG arrived later in the negotiation and they always overpay for everybody (look at Pastore and Lucas crazy values).
My point is simple: Juventus didn't have to pay 12M to get Verratti. We lost him when we could get him for around 4M for half, it was a big mistake, let's deal with it.
Anyway, I don't like talking about Verratti, Cavani or Jovetic. Let's just move on.
