if we cant secure Berardi regular playing time in a EL team (atleast, but i would try to loan him out to a CL club) then he should be brought back. he needs international experience and football at the highest level. he is an exceptional young player, already deciding and winning games against top italian teams at his age. i dont want to see another player ruined because he was rotting at low and mid-table teams till hes 25 just to watch players that are 10x more inconsistent than he is. and if you think hes not ready just look at other players, and im not talking about Del Piero nor am i comparing anyone with him here... was Verratti ready to play for PSG when he ws same age as Berardi and moved from serie B directly to a team full of top players. and he hadnt doe nearly as much as Berardi has now before he joined PSG. what has Pogba actually shown before we got him. if he was considered such a super talent how come we be the only one interested. he didnt play a single match for United before we got him. not to mention the Bayern players (Muller, Kroos, Alaba...) show me how consistent they were before they started playing for Bayern. they are 20 year old kids. ofcourse they will be incosistent. the trick is to have patience and not start panicking after a few bad games and stand by them. no-one can convince me that, on a game at our stadium vs Catania/Livorno/Atalanta it would make a huge difference if we play a Berardi or a Llorente/Tevez. we would have our other starters there who can bring us the win. and in fact, every match we have player(s) underachieving so what difference would it make to play Berardi/other youngster in a game in which the only question is when we will score and secure the win.
thats it. i hope i explained it well. and im not saying bring Berardi here at any cost. im saying try to loan him to a top5 league CL (EL) club, if we cant do that, bring him here and give him a chance to play. im sure he can get around 20 games as a starter and around 35-40 (with sub ins) total in all competitions. thats much better than wasting another year playing "just" serie A...
