How is any of this Fassone's fault?

when you have 250M€ to spend in one mercato and you end up having the same points as Bologna by december, then you probably suck at your work
he made 3 fatal mistakes in the mercato (under supervision of the 2 other suckers mirabelli and montella)
he bought silva first, and as you can guess it's a very stupid mistake, the original plan as mirabelli mentioned is to get silva as 2nd striker (talent) then another wc striker (auba), then the bonucci affair came
and here ofc as we know montella pushed for it, but why on the hell would you want another defender (even if he is WC) and you don't even have a good CF, it's like buying a vacation house while you don't even have a car to go to work
and how he corrected that? by buying another useless mediocre CF, kalinic!!
Then the other mistake is hakan, as we know the original plan before bonucci was 4-3-3, and dumb montella wanted to play bona as left wing and hakan as left mid, so he can rotate between them, and none of them is actually a LW, but god knows what was he trying to achieve
other than that: musacchio, kessie, RR, Conti, Biglia
all of them were good in their teams and can't blame F&M or montella for them, even if 1 or 2 flopped it was hard to predict
but imagine if we had a good LW and auba, even if the team performed bad like they did, we would win matches like torino samp, inter, benvento, genoa where we did everything but lacked the striker who can put the ball in the nets, and we would be competing for 4th spot with lazio
