Im starting to believe Berardi is our best option for the wing (now that Di Maria is going to Barcelona - or at least it seems like it)
What is the situation with Gnabry? I really rate him.
Gnabry is not a European Champion, lacks Marinara and doesn't have Serie A experience. He has no chance of succeeding here.

People here act like scorned ex-girlfriends because Berardi rejected us 9 years ago or something like that. Everyone calls for loyalty but when he showed loyalty to Sassuolo and became a legend for them only makes him mentally weak, not loyal anymore apparently. Berardi has a special talent to make people in this forum react like he is worse than Simone Pepe while scoring a hattrick against Milan.
At which level has he failed? He has delivered in every competition he has competed in. Everyone loves Sassuolo's talents yet Berardi has been their best players for like 10 years straight, including last year when we signed Locatelli, and this year when everyone is thinking of Raspadori, Traore, Scamacca or Frattesi. If any of those players are signed and they grow to the level of Berardi it would be seen as a success.
We want someone the feed Vlahovic in a 433, he gave 17 assists this season, including 5 against the top 4 in Serie A
He isn't the next Neymar but neither is anyone in our team. It isn't a particularly expensive move for someone in his prime that has been outperforming most of our players in the league we play in.
Which competitions are those exactly? Please enlighten us. He Scored 0 (FUCKING ZERO) goals for Italy at the Euros, and was only solid in like 2 games FFS!
Oh yeah, he has delivered for Sassuolo in Serie A. That's about it. What other competitions has he participated in and delivered? Ma Vaffanculo.
He is the epitome of a big fish in a medium-sized pond, the Cuntobile of wingers.
He's 28 years old, has never left the comfort of his little village in Sass, has no resale value, no upside, and would cost anywhere between 30 and 40 million. For that kind of money (add a bit more) and we can have a much better player. If we don't want to do that, at least go for someone younger with more upside and potential resale value should he flop.
I don't give two shits about stats. Many players have looked like world beaters playing for other clubs and failed elsewhere. Remember Turdeski? Remember Kulu not too long ago? Do you recall Giovinco at Parma? Exactly! Case Closed!
