I’m not writing him off after 8 games obviously. Bernard got quite a few assists last season with a similarly mediocre team with the same management, that’s not exactly a great stat to use as a measuring stick.
So far a fairly direct swap from De Ligt, Dybala, Bernard, Morata, Chiellini to Bremer, Di Maria, Kostic, Milik, Gatti doesn’t feel any better.
