Agreed. you cant really use pogba as an example for other what to expect from other youngsters when he's like the best 21 y/o old in europe. though i dont see a problem with having berardi on the bench.

Hustini on the other hand is just fantasizing about young italian boys again.

Pogba was far more mature as a player, at a much younger age then Berardi and
Pogba was 19 when he signed him and had played 3 professional games.

Berardi is 19, has two professional seasons under his belt and finished this one with 16 goals and 6 assists. I fail to see how Pogba was mature much younger when at the same age, Berardi had far more experience and success.

Zach, I get your point but in all honesty what Berardi delivered last season was much better than what Pogba had ever shown at a professional level when we decided to give him a shot. This can't really be stressed enough.

16 goals. At Sassuolo. In his first Serie A season.

That's incredible.

The key difference is that any talent scout could see the massive potential in Pogba, because of his unsual mental traits at his age. Wich is why Pogba at a younger age was allready at manchester united, at the same age, Berardi was a nobody in italian serie B.

Pogba in his first season in italy, last year, aged 19, became the hottest CM prospect since Pirlo, and ended the season with half this forum demanding Marchisio to be benched for him

Berardi in his first season in italy, this year, aged 19, became a player that was mostly playing average or very bad, and had a handfull of games in wich he absolutely stormed the place, scoring multiple goals


Pogba was ready at 19 for a top team. Berardi is not.

Thats because you are posting on a forum, and arent employed as a talentscout at manchester united or juventus.

However, the very first game at juventus, it was quite clear why.

That's just plain wrong. Berardi went out every game as the star of a Serie A team which was doomed to move right back down to B after fluking their way to A. In a fair share of the games I watched with him (9) he played very well and had good ideas throughout the match only for teamplayers not understanding him and plain lack of talent around him. And I disagree that any talent scout would've made the call on Pogba 'because of his mental traits' as Juventus ended up with him - not Madrid, Barca, City or Bayern.

Also, the goals of Berardi tell half the story

Oh sure, he scores 16 goals. In what, 7 games ? What did he do the other 31 games??

Extreme extrapolation : if a player scores 20 goals in one game, and nothing for the following 37 games, aged 16, is he top club material ??


Nope, the number of goals gives indication of talent. scoring several in a game, several times, is an indication of great talent. beeing many games without goals, and playing pretty bad, is an indication the player isnt mature enough to be consistant


I say again, he can get that maturity at juventus, but he must play 30+ games and not warm the bench

If a 16 player scores 20 goals in one professional game? come on man. And a players only contribution cannot be solely his goalscoring. 16 goals, regardless of the format is impressive and more importantly it's much better than what Pogba had shown at a professiona level when we decided to give him a shot.

You make a point, but in the wrong way

Madrid hardly buys youngsters, unless even they can see talent
City ? wat
Barcelona is modern human trafficing and hoping 1 has talent.
Bayern monitors german yought sectors, and thats it


Tell me why Giovinco was excellent at a simular team, and failed at juventus

Why was Berardi at age 18 at sassuolo in serie b, and nobody heard of him, whilst Pogba was at man utd, trying to get into the team, with our scouts monitoring him ?

This comparison is stupid. Not everyone needs to be a Pogba go warrant coming back. Kid has shown potential, I'm all for him coming back as long as we use him right and don't expect too much just yet.

I agree. Pogba is exceptional. Wich is exactly why its stupid to say "Pogba is how we should handle yought"

Cause Pogba had the development stage of a 24 year old, and the talent of, oh, he's world talent of the year.


Berardi isnt consistant, he needs games. He can come to juve if he'll play 30+ games regardless of how he performs.

thats the bottomline

The Giovinco comparison dies when you consider that his highest scoring Serie A season was 15 goals at an age of 25, while Berardi scores 16 goals in his first ever season in a top league.

Thing is not the goals, parma was winning games and was pushing for europaleague, instead of avoiding relegation

Ah, the agent is claiming all them teams were following him


I assume thats why juventus co own him now

That's just a straw man argument - can't believe you're doing that.

The thing is the age compared with the magnitude of the task and Berardi absolutely measures up to what Pogba had shown at his age. Pretty much outperforms him in most of the categories which spring to mind.

aged 19 Pogba had a season at juve in wich he became a starter at the end. a starter in what was one of the strongest central midfields in the world

aged 19, Berardi managed to have a couple of games in wich he scored several goals, and ALOT of games in wich he did nothing, as sassuolo, where there is 0 pressure.


One was mature and consistant, the other wasent. Also, i get strawmanned in allmost every post i make,.

Fighting for Serie A survival the whole season with two coaches sacked is 0 pressure?

If you promote to serie a, then the general idea is you'll go back down immediately

If you lose alot and play bad, its expected.

He's too stubborn for his own good.
You fail to see why Pogba is competitive for juventus and Berardi isnt ? Fine, i get it.
Both you two want Berardi at juventus ? Fine
I dont want to hear 1 bad word about him, or i will remind you i said he wasent ready.
