You don't judge a player just by one season. Tristan has dimmed, yes, but he too is also a great scorer, in what some claim to be also the greatest league la liga. he is proven in spain, he is proven for the big clubs and he is proven in europe. he has the experience, the pressure, the understanding. who are we to guarantee gilardino won't be a flop? I'm not saying he will never be successful, he's very talented and everything yes but there are no direct or secure factors that assures him the success that people claim he will have.
