I don't think Amexes is crap but his wages does not justify his skill. Another words he is way overpaid, as he is just slightly better than Bonera.
While your opinion may or may not be true, the fact is Mexes was a free player. Free players have MANY teams after them and are willing to spend a little more to get the signature. Mexes at Roma was making 4.5 mil annually until his last year in which he was making 5.0 mil. 4 mil was the lowest he was going to make from any club in the world and that was what was required to get the signature.
Lets not forget he was coming off major knee surgery. Have you ever had knee surgery? I've had 3, I'll tell you it's not easy coming back from the injury and it takes time to find your rhythm again. Give the man a chance to earn his contract, it's year 2 of his contract. This isn't fantasy football where you can drop players easy.
Parma make official the signing of Greek international Sotiris Ninis on a free transfer. Contract was deposited March 22nd though.

If so, wow good grab for Parma. I thought this kid was supposed to be a Greek future star?
