He has gotten lots of chances, and he has shown zilch. You know it, we all do. He is about to finish his second season with the team, and has shown he is not good enough. We all wish he did well and prove himself, but he is NOT.
And Ranieri has ZILCH blame with Palla not being good enough. I know everyone likes to blame him for the worlds problem, but you should sacrifice to your Gods Ranieri doesnt only consider him only as a striker, because he had, Palla would have been permanently heating the bench until he is shown the door head first. Palla as a striker is nowhere NEAR getting any minutes with DP, Iaquinta and Trez all beyong way beyond him (just like Mancini is). He would have had to compete with them if was only a striker, and we all know he wouldnt come anywhere for a mere second.
He is played on the wings because firstly even if Palla is a forward first, he is more of a side striker, like Di Natale, who can roam to the sides. Play wing isnt that alien to him. But most importantly, he is played in midfield and in the wings, to FIND space and time for Palla in the team. As said he has no hope in our attack.
If we now have come tot terms with why he has zero hope in the attack, the two wings he has played in, right and left. Well lets just say the right was because we had no options and it was desperate measure to fit him in because we had no one else. But Palla on the right is the place he is virtually nonexistent in, he is totally useless there more then he is in the left or forward (and he hasnt performed anything the others, but much much less so in the right). While in the left is his natural side because can cross there, and as a forward its his favoured side. Actually seen him in the Azzurrini play left win in a 4-3-3 formation (much like Giovinco is now). Its not alien to him. But he has failed to impress there to.
So at the end of the day, who is it to blame for not being good enough? No one else but the player who has done crap despite ample chances to prove himself. And please dont come with age, the dude is 24 frigging years old.
We would have given up on him way long time ago if he was someone we bought, and not a primavera player. Even if he isnt good enough, still wouldnt say sell him. Despite not being good enough, give him a last and 3rd season of showing himself worthy from the bench. Otherwise, can be not good enough elsewhere.
