Because our scouting sucks.
I said it again. When sign Inter a green player from a lower league or lesser club and you can see it was good scouting. And I don`t mean a player who is a hit from the first game. You need to go back to Brozovic nearly 10 years ago. Otherwise, nothing to remember (or you can remember the catastrophe like Barbosa or Joao Mario).
Barbosa was a great prospect. We just weren't a good fit and he also wasn't in a mental state.
Joao Mario was a good player but that price tag melted his mentality away.
Those were also Kia transfers and not really scouting decisions. Whereas Kondogbia was a result of scouting.
Scouting departments in football don't focus on personalities and whether a player would fit. They just look at football characteristics. It's then up to management to do their due diligence. The scouting does that to an extent but they cannot know who the coach can work with and how the existing players would react to such an introduction.
And once again, you have zero evidence that our scouting department isn't any good. You omit the line of operations and your arguments stem from transfer decisions rather than scouting reports.
Our scouts have given management a list of over 500 players in the last three seasons. Unless Marotta personally knows the player, agent, club manager or team owner, we rarely do shit.
Marotta has decided he's going to take over incoming transfers.
He has given Ausilio the task to sell players. Players that Marotta decides are up for sale, not just anyone to raise funds. Ausilio's best trait is spotting talent. And he was pretty good at selling deadweight.
Now he's charged with selling top players against their will, on a discount.
And this isn't working.
