Beppe Marotta is like that kid in grade school who would offer you insulting deals for your quality trading cards (hockey, pokemon, whatever).
Example:
"I'll give you two Charmeleons for a Charizard."
etc etc
The owner knows that they'll say no, but they're almost pissed at him for the level of low ball.
8 for Chicharito?
15 for Lavezzi?
17 for Jovetic?
If I'm any one of those teams, I want a lot more than that. In this context it really makes the agreed upon Osvaldo fee seem absurd.

That person was less annoying than that guy who would look and stare at your cards, hover over you enviously, but whose parents couldn't afford to buy them cards (AC MILAN).
