I think that's an insult to Pereyra. He's like one of those typical, versatile Italian CMs: decent at most things, but doesn't have any outstanding qualities. So yeah, kinda like Giacch, or even Padoin (just a more attacking player)
pereyra is also limited. he can't tackle and defend well enough for a modern cm, and doesn't contribute enough in attack for an am.
bonaventura is quite a good passer, surely has the grinta, not bad at all at spot kicks, and while he's not a great finisher, he's still prolific enough for a midfielder. he has 7 goals and 7 assists (including a coppa goal), that's better than any serie a midfielder this season. i dig pereyra, i appreciate what he did last season, but if i'd had to pick one of these to, i'd probably take bonaventura.
btw sarri just subbed in gabbiadini for allan, nipples are going all in. i hope they choke and lose.
