Dru, this is the third year in a row that he has been doing this. Eventually, he has to stop trying to disprove the notion of insanity by constantly doing the same thing and expecting a different result. There are younger, better players than him all around the globe who don't show this type of reckless and quite frankly, thuggish behavior. The amount of discipline he has received the last three seasons is remarkable, and not in a good way. Imagine what his numbers would be if he calmed the fuck down
I get your point and understand your concerns about his on-field conduct. I just feel that it's something that can be corrected that's all. I'm sure (if Juve acquire him) that we can put proper/rigid structure around him to bring down the disciplinary conduct issues and in turn hopefully boost his productivity like you mentioned.
Agree on all of it.
Make no mistake...from a business standpoint he should be brought to Juventus. At the very least we will sell him on a profit most likely even if he flops here.
But his temper is a real concern. Yeah we maybe will be able to tame him...but we would have needed someone like Conte who really knows how to handle this kind of thugs. Just look how he made osvaldo a little princess and Tevez had an oustanding discipline record in Juventus.
What worries me is that i just dont see allegri taming this guy. WHo knows.
If a big of a gamble right now because Berardi seems to be fuking nuts to the core.... but i think at this point we cannot pull back. We will need to sign him and try to do our best.

Cantona was nuts. Dom only has a temper.
But we need to try and see how it goes. His stats are just too good to let it pass, even with all his red cards. IMO is a huge gamble not only because of his temper.. but because maybe sporting wise he could be not all that we think he is. But well...in this particular case...there will be only one way to know...and that will be buying him and trying ourselves.
After all..i prefer gambling 25 mils on someone like him with my eyes closed...rather than wasting 19 and 18 mils on poor excuses of footballers like Zaza and Mandz. 10 out of 10 times.

Berardi to Juventus in June?
By Football Italia staff
Reports suggest Juventus will pay €25m to bring Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi to Turin this summer.
The Italian Under-21 international was co-owned by the Bianconeri and the Emilian side, but was bought outright by the Neroverdi this summer.
The player’s agent has confirmed that there is a “verbal agreement” for the 21-year-old to move to the Old lady this summer, and Tuttosport backs up that claim.
The newspaper believes a buyback clause of €25m was included in the deal which saw Berardi move to Sassuolo permanently, and Juve are willing to activate that clause in the summer.
While the player's disciplinary record is a cause for concern, it's thought that the Turin giants believe they can curb the more aggressive side of the player's game.
That would see the Bianconeri form an attacking trident of Berardi, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata.
With Morata the oldest of the three at 23-years-old, the Juventus attack would theoretically be set for the foreseeable future.
