Transfer Guru
STRONG AND DECISIVE response by negotiating for 3 weeks over 5mil euros only to concede the money anyway.
He got Eriksen, that's all that counts. Marotta may be a frustratingly cheap miser, but he is also a transfer guru. Our last two mercato's have been very focused and well managed in terms of results, its just that the process has been very frustrating for fans.
If Marotta stops penny pinching, he has the other instincts and strategy to be the best. The main criticism of both his mercato's has been that he didn't spend that last 20% that would have taken the mercato from good to great. Vidal last summer and Giroud this winter, that last extra player we didn't get always leaves a gap in the squad.
