i still rate sabatini as a good director. he's had some huge successes (benatia, marquinhos, manolas, rudiger, strootman, pjanic, nainggolan, salah) but also some monumental fails (iturbe, doubia, gerson, juan jesus). his main problem is he buys players cheap only to sell them at a huge profit when they become successful. a winning team needs stability which is why roma never win anything.
also i don't rate him when it comes to offloading fodders. banega was easily worth 15m+ and murillo shouldn't be sold for anything less than 18-20m. and the fact he paid ridiculous fees for vecino, skrinar and dalbert speaks volumes.
based on mirabelli's moves (in and out) so far, i literally don't believe he's put a foot wrong. also, given he's big on scouting and we've entirely restructured our youth and first team scouting i believe he'll be the better director in the long run.
